项目摘要

New roads bring complex changes to regions, including ecological degradation, social conflict, and economic development. "Road ecology" emerged to study transport systems and ecology, but more attention is needed on the role of humans as agents of environmental change, with a focus on livelihood decisions and resource use. People do not simply respond to new infrastructure. They also produce ecological and institutional changes that in turn generate feedback effects that affect human well being. In this interdisciplinary research project, the investigators will use a complex systems framework to focus on social-ecological systems as integrated wholes via the interface of infrastructure and land tenure institutions. They will draw on the concept of resilience, a property of complex systems, and reformulate it in terms of system components, relationships, innovations, and continuity, which afford a means of observing system properties relevant to the retention or loss of system identity. They also will expand on the concept of connectivity to consider its importance not only as infrastructure linkages that bring external shocks from outside regions but also as networks of connections among local actors and processes. These ideas motivate specific expectations about connectivity and resilience, both at the scale of a social-ecological system and for specific components within a system. The investigators will examine the impacts of road connectivity changes on social-ecological resilience in a global biodiversity hotspot, the tri-national MAP region of the southwestern Amazon where Brazil, Bolivia, and Peru meet. The project will draw on considerable data already in hand for the study site while adding new data to capture changes underway after recent infrastructure upgrades on the Brazilian side. The investigators will spatially integrate state data and cartographic products, cadastral maps, satellite imagery, social surveys, and vegetation transects using GPS and GIS, thereby allowing identification of social actors, institutions, and habitat patches as system components in geographic space. The investigators also will specify the relationships among those components via their local connections, which allow monitoring of changes in those networks over time and facilitate spatial analysis of temporal dynamics, particularly feedback effects to livelihoods and well being. The analysis will be comparative, because infrastructure connectivity is higher on the Brazilian side than the others, allowing for a natural experiment in the same region. The investigators will develop a dynamic simulation model, incorporating input from stakeholders about possible future scenarios to extend the simulations beyond the project life.This project will improve the design of integrated databases for interdisciplinary environmental research, facilitate empirical evaluation of complex systems theory, and result in more robust frameworks for understanding human agency and environmental change. It will build on an institutional agreement between the University of Florida and the Federal University of Acre and provide opportunities for students in both institutions to conduct field research and participate in data analysis and publications. Because local stakeholders in the tri-national MAP region of the southwestern Amazon have called for more scientific input and data products concerning social and ecological impacts of roads, the investigators will make data products available to regional schools and universities communities, and decision makers. Results from this project therefore should facilitate more informed planning about new infrastructure in order to capture economic benefits, manage social conflicts, and avoid ecological degradation. An award resulting from the FY 2005 NSF-wide competition on Human and Social Dynamics (HSD) supports this project. All NSF directorates and offices are involved in the coordinated management of the HSD competition and the portfolio of HSD awards.
新的道路给地区带来了复杂的变化,包括生态退化、社会冲突和经济发展。“道路生态学”的出现是为了研究运输系统和生态学,但需要更多地关注人类作为环境变化动因的作用,重点是生计决策和资源利用。人们不会简单地对新的基础设施做出反应。它们还产生生态和制度变化,进而产生影响人类福祉的反馈效应。在这个跨学科的研究项目中,研究人员将使用一个复杂的系统框架,通过基础设施和土地所有制制度的接口,将社会生态系统作为一个整体来关注。他们将利用弹性的概念,复杂系统的一种属性,并根据系统组件、关系、创新和连续性来重新表述它,这提供了一种观察与系统身份的保留或丢失相关的系统属性的方法。他们还将扩大连通性的概念,考虑其重要性,不仅是作为基础设施连接带来外部地区的外部冲击,而且作为地方行动者和流程之间的联系网络。这些想法激发了对连通性和弹性的具体期望,无论是在社会生态系统的规模上,还是在系统内的特定组件上。研究人员将研究道路连通性变化对全球生物多样性热点地区——巴西、玻利维亚和秘鲁交界的亚马逊西南部三国MAP地区——社会生态恢复力的影响。该项目将利用研究地点已有的大量数据,同时增加新的数据,以捕捉巴西方面最近基础设施升级后正在进行的变化。研究人员将使用GPS和GIS在空间上整合国家数据和制图产品、地籍图、卫星图像、社会调查和植被样带,从而识别社会行为者、机构和栖息地斑块,作为地理空间中的系统组件。研究人员还将通过这些组成部分的本地连接来具体说明它们之间的关系,从而可以监测这些网络随时间的变化,并促进对时间动态的空间分析,特别是对生计和福祉的反馈影响。分析将具有可比性,因为巴西的基础设施连通性高于其他国家,因此可以在同一地区进行自然实验。研究人员将开发一个动态模拟模型,结合利益相关者对未来可能情景的输入,将模拟扩展到项目生命周期之外。该项目将改进跨学科环境研究综合数据库的设计,促进复杂系统理论的实证评估,并为理解人类能动性和环境变化提供更有力的框架。它将以佛罗里达大学和阿克联邦大学之间的机构协议为基础,为两所大学的学生提供进行实地研究、参与数据分析和发表的机会。由于亚马逊西南地区的三方MAP地区的当地利益相关者呼吁提供更多关于道路社会和生态影响的科学投入和数据产品,调查人员将向地区学校和大学社区以及决策者提供数据产品。因此,该项目的成果应有助于对新的基础设施进行更明智的规划,以获取经济效益,管理社会冲突,避免生态退化。2005财年美国国家科学基金会人类与社会动力学(HSD)竞赛的一个奖项支持了这个项目。所有NSF理事会和办公室都参与了HSD竞赛和HSD奖项组合的协调管理。
