The Cultural Ecology of Protected Natural Areas Under Continuing Human Use

拟议的研究将着眼于在人类持续利用自然资源的情况下对自然保护区的管理。核心问题将是当地社区的利用和知识是否减少了管理生态系统可重复性和景观多样性的不确定性。该研究还探讨了人类是否可能在继续利用资源的同时保护保护区的生态，以及不同的管理制度如何影响人类活动与自然系统的成功整合。这项研究将为国家公园开发量化的生态系统管理模型，其中包括来自当地和传统用户的信息。研究将在阿拉斯加、纽芬兰和芬兰拉普兰的国家公园单位进行。该项目将采用系统方法分析北极地区与全球变化研究相关的人类/环境相互作用。＊＊＊

9318926 FLANDERS The proposed research will look at the management of protected natural areas under continuing human use of their natural resources. The central question will be whether local community use and knowledge reduces uncertainty in managing for ecosystem reproducibility and landscape diversity. The research also addresses the questions of whether it is possible to have continuing human use of resources and still protect the ecology of protected areas, and how different management systems affect the successful integration of human activities into natural systems. The research will develop quantitative ecosystem management models for national parks which incorporate information from local and traditional users. Studies will be conducted on national park units in Alaska, Newfoundland and Finnish Lappland. This project will take a systems approach to the analysis of human/environment interactions in Arctic regions of relevance to global change research. ***
