Dissertation Research: Land, Ethnicity, and Nation: Struggles Over Land Use in the Ecuadorian Amazon

可持续发展和资源保护可能发生的条件常常以狭隘的经济术语来模拟。相比之下，该项目调查了厄瓜多尔亚马逊地区Pastaza Runa土著社区社区政治背景下的土地使用情况。其目的是了解影响不同家庭农业实践和政治忠诚的因素。将采用三种方法工具。首先，对沙地系统的农业技术进行分析，并绘制多层次土地利用（沙地农业、商业作物生产和放牧）的地图，详细说明实际做法，并检查资源集约化和/或枯竭的指标。其次，与家庭成员的访谈引出了对土地利用变化、资源冲突以及家庭与当地印第安人联合会或Campesino组织的隶属关系的历史理解。第三，对国家、教会、原住民关系和州司法立法的档案研究，提供了对东方印第安人不断变化的种族和法律关系的历史洞察。这项研究在两个方面意义重大。它通过调查土著人民在何种条件下实行无害生态的土地使用和保持政治化的种族特性，促进土著资源管理和种族问题方面的学术研究。在考察沿着殖民边界的当地政治和土地利用的改进时，该研究扩展了新热带地区可持续农业选择的现有知识。~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ıF W W (Times New Roman Symbol & Arial & & & & " h: E: E R {durham sawyer抽象抽象论文#durham sawyer论文摘要雷蒙德·霍姆斯雷蒙德·霍姆斯

Durham/Sawyer 9310622 The conditions under which sustainable development and resource conservation can occur are frequently modeled in narrow economic terms. In contrast, this project investigates land use in the context of community politics within an indigenous community of the Pastaza Runa of Ecuadorian Amazon. The goal is to understand the forces directing distinct households' agricultural practices and political allegiances. Three methodological tools will be employed. First, the analysis of agricultural techniques in swidden systems and the mapping of multi-level land use (swidden agriculture, commercial crop production, and cattle grazing) detail actual practices and examine indicators for the intensification and/or depletion of resources. Second, interviews with household members elicit historical understandings of land use changes, resource conflicts, and households' affiliation with the local Indian federations or Campesino organization. Third, archival research of state, church, indigenous relations and state adjudicational legislation presents historical insight into changing racial and legal relations of Indians in the Oriente. The research is significant on two counts. It contributes to scholarship on indigenous resource management and ethnicity by investigating the conditions under which indigenous peoples practice ecologically sound land use and maintain a politicized ethnic identity. In examining refinements in native politics and land-use along the colonization frontier, the study extends current knowledge of options of sustainable agriculture in the neotropics. ~ u F V F V 9V ~ | 9F v ı F W W ( Times New Roman Symbol & Arial & & & " h : E: E R { durham sawyer abstract abstract dissertation#durham sawyer dissertation abstract Raymond Hames Raymond Hames
