项目摘要

This project is the first stage of an international collaborative research on the link between poverty alleviation and environmental conservation in rural tropics. The purpose of the project is : (1)to develop dynamic theories on household, community, and the environment, and (2)to do preliminary work -site selection, field research design, and research method design -for household and community surveys which are scheduled in and after the year of 2004. Our theoretical and empirical works shed new lights on the role of natural resource use as a coping strategy among tropical farmers. After we examined several countries in Southeast Asia and the Pacific, we selected Fiji as a study site, mainly because in Fiji the role of traditional communities is very strong, existing empirical studies are limited, and a historical cyclone caused serious damages in January, 2003. To examine households' responses to this shock in a timely manner, we changed our original plan and conducted the first household and community surveys among 361 households in 9 villages in 2003 with less emphasis on theoretical works. Specifically, we conducted : (1)preliminary research (literature survey and interviews at the University of the South Pacific, and village selection), (2)questionnaire design, (3)survey pretest and training and other preparations, (4)full survey, (5)date entry and management. We conducted (1)-(4) in Fiji in January-December, 2003 and plan to complete (5) in the summer of 2004. This survey is the first systematic household and community surveys conducted in the Pacific. The primary data on demographics, assets, savings, income, transfer, property rights, and resource management allow us to examine livelihood diversification, risk coping, natural and social capital, and ecotourism.

该项目是关于减轻贫困与热带农村环境保护之间联系的国际合作研究的第一阶段。该项目的目的是：（1）发展关于家庭、社区和环境的动态理论，（2）为定于2004年及以后进行的家庭和社区调查做前期工作-地点选择、实地调查设计和研究方法设计。我们的理论和实证工作揭示了自然资源利用作为热带农民的应对策略的作用。在考察了东南亚和太平洋地区的几个国家之后，我们选择斐济作为研究地点，主要是因为在斐济，传统社区的作用非常强，现有的实证研究有限，并且2003年1月的一次历史性飓风造成了严重的破坏。为了及时了解住户对这一冲击的反应，我们改变了原来的计划，于2003年在9个村庄的361户住户中进行了第一次住户和社区调查，减少了对理论工作的重视。具体而言，我们进行了：（1）前期研究（文献调查、南太平洋大学访谈、村庄选择）;（2）问卷设计;（3）调查预试及培训等准备工作;（4）全面调查;（5）数据录入及管理。我们于2003年1月至12月在斐济进行了（1）-（4），并计划于2004年夏季完成（5）。这项调查是在太平洋地区进行的第一次有系统的家庭和社区调查。关于人口、资产、储蓄、收入、转移、产权和资源管理的主要数据使我们能够研究生计多样化、风险应对、自然和社会资本以及生态旅游。
