Willigen/Suminguit 9311224 In third world economic development circles and academia, there is an increasing interest in local knowledge systems (LKS) and agroforestry (AF). However, little is known about the linkages between them and the benefits of combining them to improve upland farming systems and to slow down deforestation. This study proposes to examine the linkages between LKS and AF (1) by documenting folk taxonomy and traditional management practices of trees, food crops, and soils among the Subanun and Visayan farmers in the southwestern Philippines; and (2) by comparing the differential distribution of this technical knowledge by age, gender, socioeconomic status, and ethnicity. The researcher will use archival research, participant observation, informal, and formal interviews to collect primary data. In addition, semantic domain analysis, a linguistic technique, will be used to analyze qualitative data. This study will enhance of our understanding in the linkage of local knowledge systems and agroforestry. This will also make a basic contribution to the study of intracultural variation. The applied significance is its potential contribution to an improved design of agroforestry projects that increase food production of the upland farmers and forest occupants, while slowing down the process of deforestation. *** bert J.

Willigen/Suminguit 9311224 在第三世界经济发展界和学术界，人们对地方知识体系和农林业的兴趣越来越大。 然而，人们对它们之间的联系以及将它们结合起来改善高地耕作系统和减缓森林砍伐的好处知之甚少。 本研究拟通过记录菲律宾西南部Subanun和Visayan农民的民间分类学和树木、粮食作物和土壤的传统管理实践来研究LKS和AF之间的联系;以及（2）通过比较这种技术知识按年龄、性别、社会经济地位和种族的差异分布。 研究人员将使用档案研究，参与者观察，非正式和正式的访谈来收集原始数据。 此外，语义域分析，一种语言学技术，将用于分析定性数据。 这项研究将加强我们对地方知识体系与农林业之间联系的理解。 这也将为文化内变异的研究做出基础性的贡献。 其应用意义在于，它可能有助于改进农林项目的设计，增加高地农民和森林居民的粮食生产，同时减缓砍伐森林的进程。 ** 兰德公司 理查德·尼斯贝特 密歇根大学 丽塔·西蒙 美国大学 拉帕波特， 伊丽莎白 9309890 杜克大学 二万八千二百五十四元 09个月 6月1日 B D F Q Q E Times New Roman Symbol Arial 1 Pres Elite 5 Cash全新 " H m Em E J R willigen suminguit abstract abstract“willigen suminguit abstract thesis Raymond Hames Raymond Hames
