Dissertation Research: Landscape Transformation and Power in the Amazon Estuary

该奖项支持耶鲁大学社会林业学生的论文研究。 该项目将采访巴西亚马逊河口的小农户，了解他们在过去30年中与河口洪泛区的互动，并解释这些干预措施如何涉及资源冲突和财产关系。 学生将试图解释人类对溪流的管理如何改变当地景观，如何改变劳动和财产关系以及资源冲突，并受到物理景观变化的影响，以及当地人如何理解他们在经济和生态问题上自主行动的能力。 这些方法将包括对当地研究地区的大约100个家庭进行调查和深入访谈，了解随着时间的推移生产关系和资源冲突。 航空照片将被用作采访辅助工具。 将开发一个地理信息系统数据库，以分析一段时间的趋势;将分析不同作物和经经济开发的森林产品的分布情况，并将其与当地事件和冲突联系起来。 这项研究很重要，因为它增加了我们对世界这一地区农民经济行为的专业知识，并将提供有关当地人对环境问题的感受和理解的宝贵信息。 如果亚马逊的森林砍伐在未来得到控制，政策必须基于对当地人在环境相互作用中所做的事情的理解，以及他们为什么这样做，这些信息将通过这种研究产生。 + - +-±-f8- + + _ 你好，我的天啊 Ý + ] $ H L + ¢ ╗ D H + ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ R:\WWUSER\TEMPLATE\NORMAL.DOT 9529972 斯图尔特·普拉特纳 哈里特河奕迅 @ R @ - + Y + A） S um m m ary in for m m a t i o n ( ++++++++++++ ) Û ++++++++++++ ++++++++++++ ++++++++++++ @ 公司简介 @ F# Microsoft Word 6.0 3 f8-？ + ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ e ª ; ª ` ` ` ` ` ` ` p p p p p p Á p { 1 e Ó Ó Ó Ó Ó Ó Ó - á á á ª = ª = ) - 不 ; { ` Ó Ó Ó Ó Ó { Ó ` ` Ó e Ó Ó Ó Ó ` Ó ` Ó - ╝ Ý ` ` ` ` Ó - Ó S Ó

This award supports the dissertation research of a student of social forestry at Yale university. The project is to interview smallholder farmers in the Amazon estuary of Brazil on their interactions with the estuarine floodplain over the past 30 years and explain how these interventions have been involved with resource conflict and property relations. The student will seek to explain how human management of streams has transformed the local landscape, how changing labor and property relations and conflicts over resources shaped and were influenced by changes in the physical landscape, and how local people understand their ability to act autonomously in economic and ecological issues. The methods will include a survey and intensive interviews with about 100 households, the population of the local study area, about productive relations over time and resource conflicts. Aerial photographs will be used as an interview aid. A geographic information system database will be developed to analyze trends over time; the distribution of different crops and economically-exploited forest products will be analyzed and related to local events and conflicts. This research is important because it adds to our expertise about the economic behavior of farmers in this area of the world, and will provide valuable information about local people's feelings and understandings of environmental issues. If the deforestation of the Amazon is to be controlled in the future, policies must be based on understanding of what local people do in environmental interactions, and why they do it, information which will be produced by this sort of study. + - +- ±- f8 Û-ª þ + + _ Ûª▓ ÑOh ª' +'ª▒0 Ý + ] $ H l + ¢ ╗ D h + ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ R:\WWUSER\TEMPLATE\NORMAL.DOT 9529972 stuart plattner Harriet R.
