Resource use complex and its sustainable development in Southeast Asian Plains

在东南亚大陆平原地带，种植水稻农业的自给自足的农业村庄铺天盖地。作为村民在这种不稳定的自然环境中的生存策略，他们依靠雨水种植、收集和出售各种动植物资源，如水稻、野生植物、鱼类、贝类和各种昆虫。在经济上，这种复杂的资源使用保证了粮食安全，可以被评估为一种持续的生活方式，它与大型单色文化的两极--农业--在生态上对环境产生了影响。近年来，制造业、人口增长、家庭非农就业机会增加等现象都有很强的影响。这项联合研究的目的是分析复杂的动植物资源利用及其变化模式。这些资源包括各种水稻、其他作物、野生植物、淡水鱼和贝类、昆虫，这些资源被种植、驯养、收集或出售。主要研究地点是1)泰国东北部科拉特高原上的一个雨水滋养的村庄，2)万象平原上的一个雨水滋养的村庄，它部分地占据了老挝的灌木丛/森林。我们试图通过与跨学科的学术研究团队合作，澄清和审视这两个领域的共同特征及其在全球市场经济影响下的可持续性。此外，我们还试图构建新的理论框架，分析生物质不同开发之间的相互关系，以及就业之间的互补关系。

In the Southeast Asia continent plain zone, self-sustaining farm villages which cultivate paddy agriculture spread out. As villager's subsistence strategy in this unstable natural environment, they depend on rain-fed cultivation, collection, and sale of various animals-and-plants resources, such as rice, wild plant, fish, shellfish and various a kind of insect. Economically, this complex resource use guarantees food security, and can be evaluated as a continuous lifestyle which is in the opposite poles of the large monochrome culture-agriculture of an environmental impact ecologically. In recent years, phenomena had strong influence of manufacturing industry, population growth, an increase in household off-farm job opportunities. The aim of this joint study is to analyze complex animals-and-plants resources use and their mode of change. These resources comply a various kind of rice, other crops, wild plant, fresh water fish and shellfish, insect, which are cultivated, domesticated, collected, or sold. Main study sites are 1) a rain-fed village on Korat plateau, Northeast Thailand, 2) a rain-fed village in Vientiane plain which occupies bush/forest partly, Laos. We try to clarify and examine the common feature of these two areas and its sustainability under the influence of the global market economy by cooperation with interdisciplinary academic research teams. Furthermore, we tried to construct to the new theoretical framework which analyzes the correlation of different exploitation of biomass, and the mutual complement relation of the employment.
