项目摘要

This dissertation research project involves a student of Land Resources from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, studying the dynamics of irreversible deforestation for maize fields by hunter-gatherers of southwest Madagascar. The project will analyze the processes of disequilibrium which drive the human ecosystem from one pattern of relative stability to another, and the impacts of this transition on the human-environmental interactions in the arid forest. The study will consider changes in cultural identity, environmental knowledge, resource use and cash market participation. The specific goals are to establish the spatial and temporal patterns of land use and deforestation in the forest spanning a fifty year historical period, to explore the political, economic and historical context of the patterns at the regional, national and international levels, to study the interaction of maize cultivation and local politics, cultural institutions and resource use. Methods include participant observation, analysis of aerial photographs and satellite imagery, and rapid ethnographic rural appraisal. The project will contribute to ecological anthropology theory and methods, to Malagasy ethnography, and to understanding of environmental conservation in similar situations throughout the world.

本论文的研究项目涉及威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校的土地资源的学生，研究马达加斯加西南部狩猎采集者的玉米田不可逆转的森林砍伐的动态。该项目将分析推动人类生态系统从一种相对稳定模式向另一种模式转变的不平衡过程，以及这种转变对干旱森林中人与环境相互作用的影响。这项研究将考虑文化特性、环境知识、资源使用和现金市场参与方面的变化。具体目标是建立跨越50年历史时期的森林土地利用和毁林的空间和时间模式，探索区域、国家和国际各级模式的政治、经济和历史背景，研究玉米种植与当地政治、文化机构和资源利用的相互作用。方法包括参与观察，分析航空照片和卫星图像，快速人种学农村评估。该项目将有助于生态人类学的理论和方法，马达加斯加民族志，并在世界各地的类似情况下的环境保护的理解。
