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

达勒姆/索耶9310622可持续发展和节约资源的条件常常被用狭隘的经济术语来模拟。相比之下，该项目在厄瓜多尔亚马逊的帕斯塔扎鲁纳土著社区的社区政治背景下调查土地使用情况。目标是了解指导不同家庭的农业实践和政治忠诚的力量。将使用三种方法工具。首先，对覆盖系统中的农业技术进行分析，绘制多层次土地利用图(覆盖农业、商业作物生产和放牧)，详细说明实际做法，并审查资源集约化和/或枯竭的指标。其次，对家庭成员的采访引起了对土地利用变化、资源冲突以及家庭与当地印第安人联合会或Campeino组织的从属关系的历史理解。第三，对国家、教会、土著关系和国家裁决立法的档案研究，展示了对东方印第安人种族和法律关系变化的历史洞察。这项研究在两个方面具有重要意义。它通过调查土著人民在何种条件下实行合理的生态土地利用并保持政治化的族裔认同，为土著资源管理和族裔问题的学术研究作出了贡献。在考察殖民边界沿线的当地政治和土地利用的改进情况时，这项研究扩展了对新热带地区可持续农业选择的现有知识。~u F v F v 9v~|9f vıF W W(Times New Roman符号&amp；Arial&amp；&amp；&amp；“H：E：E R{Durham Sawyer摘要论文#Durham Sawyer学位论文摘要Raymond Hams Raymond Hams

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
