Economic Well-being in the Aftermath of the Indian Ocean Tsunami

该项目将支持印度尼西亚和厄瓜多尔人口-环境关系的研究 各种新的方法。作为海啸灾后和灾后恢复研究的一部分， 首席调查员和合作者将使用独特的大规模纵向调查数据集来 调查印度洋海啸在印度尼西亚造成的人类后果。对此数据集的分析将 调查海啸后流离失所和回返移徙的模式， 为了健康和福祉而流离失所，以及家庭结构和构成在以下方面的变化 海啸。研究结果将为家庭对大规模自然灾害的反应提供洞察，并将 帮助为未来的救灾工作提供信息。在这一努力的基础上，首席调查员和第二名 合作者将采用STAR的方法对400个土著家庭进行跟踪调查 厄瓜多尔的亚马逊，一个正在经历石油开采、农业殖民和 砍伐森林。这将创建一个关于土著福祉和土地利用的有价值的十年小组数据集 生物多样性区域，允许对来自5个社区的28个社区的变化模式和驱动因素进行新的分析 种族。这一结果将为亚马逊土著面临的挑战提供新的见解 并将为人类发展和环境保护计划提供信息。最后， 首席调查员将在这两项努力和之前的研究的基础上，制定一项关于 厄瓜多尔新的大规模纵向数据收集侧重于人口与环境的关系。通过 结合几个新的环境数据来源，这一努力将为我们揭示后果提供新的线索 环境变化对人类福祉、移民和农村生计的影响。

This project will support research on population-environment relationships in Indonesia and Ecuador using a variety of new approaches. As part of the Study of the Tsunami Aftermath and Recovery (STAR), the principle investigator and a collaborator will use a unique large-scale, longitudinal survey dataset to investigate the human consequences of the Indian Ocean Tsunami in Indonesia. Analyses of this dataset will investigate patterns of displacement and return migration following the tsunami, the consequences of displacement for health and well-being, and changes to household formation and composition following the tsunami. The results will provide insight into household responses to large-scale natural disasters, and will help to inform future disaster relief efforts. Building on this effort, the principle investigator and a second collaborator will adapt methods from STAR to conduct a follow-up survey with 400 indigenous households in the Ecuadorian Amazon, a region experiencing ongoing oil extraction, agricultural colonization and deforestation. This will create a valuable ten-year panel dataset on indigenous well-being and land use in a biodiverse region, allowing novel analyses of the patterns and drivers of change in 28 communities from five ethnicities. The results will provide new insight into the challenges facing Amazonian indigenous communities, and will inform programs for human development and environmental conservation. Finally, the principle investigator will build on both of these efforts and on previous research to develop a proposal for a new, large-scale longitudinal data collection in Ecuador focused on population-environment relationships. By incorporating several new environmental data sources, this effort would shed new light on the consequences of environmental change for human well-being, migration and rural livelihoods.
