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与环境关系的研究， 各种新方法。作为海啸后果和恢复研究（星星）的一部分， 主要研究者和合作者将使用独特的大规模纵向调查数据集， 调查印度洋海啸对印度尼西亚人的影响。对该数据集的分析将 调查海啸后流离失所和返回移徙的模式， 为健康和福祉而流离失所的情况，以及 海啸研究结果将有助于深入了解家庭对大规模自然灾害的反应， 有助于为今后的救灾工作提供信息。在这一努力的基础上，首席调查员和第二位 合作者将采用星星的方法，对400个土著家庭进行后续调查， 厄瓜多尔亚马逊地区，一个正在经历石油开采、农业殖民化和 砍伐森林。这将创建一个关于土著福祉和土地使用的宝贵的十年小组数据集， 生物多样性区域，允许对来自五个社区的28个社区的变化模式和驱动因素进行新的分析 种族研究结果将为亚马逊土著面临的挑战提供新的见解 社区，并将为人类发展和环境保护计划提供信息。最后 首席研究员将在这些努力和以前的研究的基础上，提出一项建议， 厄瓜多尔新的大规模纵向数据收集工作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，这项工作将揭示新的后果 环境变化对人类福祉、移徙和农村生计的影响。

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.
