Research interests
Tsafrir Gazit is an environmental sociologist whose work focuses on the environmental activism of individuals, NGOs and formal agencies and the social and economical dimensions of natural resources management. He is interested in how environmental perceptions shape human behavior and natural resources management.
In the past Dr. Gazit has worked for the Israeli central Bureau of Statistics (as the director of its law division), environmental consulting firms and research institutes. He has taught courses in environmental sociology, demography, research methodology and statistics at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the Israeli Open University.
Dr. Gazit鈥檚 current research, with Professor Richard Apostle (Sociology) and Professor David VanderZwaag (Law), focuses on the social dimensions of the Ocean Tracking Network (OTN). This includes the use and transfer of OTN knowledge and other OTN technology products, and the expansion of marine tracking networks and how this may affect natural resources management聽(e.g. of fisheries and endangered species).
