IAI: A Survey of the Research and Researchers Relating to Human Dimensions of Global Environmental Change in Latin America

该项目的目标有三个方面：确定在该地区开展与全球变化的人类和政策层面相关问题研究的个人和机构；向拉丁美洲社会科学家通报美洲全球变化研究所（IAI）的研究任务和项目资助机会；并让他们参与IAI人类维度研究议程的发展。虽然研究所举行了两次会议，将人的方面作为重点之一（1993年在墨西哥塔斯科与国际人的方面方案联合举行；1995年在巴西贝勒埃9m举行），但研究所收到的关于这两次会议所确定的对研究所成功至关重要的社会、经济或政策问题的建议很少。这项调查将确定当前的研究人员、他们的机构和他们的项目，以便针对这些群体发布具体的项目公告，并获得有关IAI资金可用性和研究兴趣领域的更详细信息。该提案将产生以下内容：1)IAI的概述论文，描述环境社会科学研究如何为IAI议程做出贡献；2)一份邮寄名单，供日后在邮寄与“人的维度”有关的建议书时使用；3)一份三语调查（英语、西班牙语和葡萄牙语），涉及合作、资源和能力、电子连接、研究兴趣和当前项目；4)一组汇编的调查结果和初步分析；5)向IAI主任和IAI科学咨询委员会提交最终报告。如果调查的回复率很好，它也可以作为IAI正式的美洲人类维度研究目录的基础。这个项目有三个目标：确定在该地区开展与全球变化的人力和政策层面相关问题研究的个人和机构；向拉丁美洲社会科学家通报美洲全球变化研究所（IAI）的研究任务和项目资助机会；并让他们参与IAI人类维度研究议程的发展。尽管IAI已经举行了两次以人文维度为重点的会议，但IAI收到的关于这两次会议确定的对研究所成功至关重要的社会、经济或政策问题的建议很少。该提案将产生以下内容：1)IAI的概述论文，描述环境社会科学研究如何为IAI议程做出贡献；2)一份邮寄名单，供日后在邮寄与“人的维度”有关的建议书时使用；3)一份三语调查（英语、西班牙语和葡萄牙语），涉及合作、资源和能力、电子连接、研究兴趣和当前项目；4)一组汇编的调查结果和初步分析；5)向IAI主任和IAI科学咨询委员会提交最终报告。如果调查的回复率很好，它也可以作为IAI正式的美洲人类维度研究目录的基础。IAI是一项倡议，旨在促进美洲在全球变化问题上的合作研究。美国国家科学基金会是美国政府指定的机构，负责履行美国在IAI中的职责。＊＊＊

964565 Liverman The goal of this project is threefold: to identify individuals and institutions developing research on issues related to the human and policy dimension of global change in the region; to inform Latin American social scientists about the research mission and project funding opportunities of the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI); and to involve them in the development of the IAI's Human Dimensions research agenda. Although the IAI has held two meetings with Human Dimensions as one of the foci (at Taxco, Mexico, in 1993, jointly with the International Human Dimensions Programme; and at Bel=E9m, Brazil, in 1995), few proposals have been received by the IAI dealing with social, economic, or policy issues identified by these two meetings as critical to the success of the Institute. This survey will identify the current researchers, their institutions, and their programs in order to target these groups for specific program announcements and more detailed information regarding the availability of funds and areas of research interest for the IAI. The proposal will produce the following: 1) an overview paper of the IAI describing how environmental social science research can contribute to the IAI agenda; 2) a mailing list for the later use of the IAI Directorate in mailing Human Dimensions-related calls for proposals; 3) a tri-lingual survey (English, Spanish and Portuguese) addressing collaboration, resources and capabilities, electronic connectivity, and research interests and current projects; 4) a set of compiled survey results, and a preliminary analysis; and 5) a final report to the IAI Director and the IAI Scientific Advisory Committee. If the survey has a good response rate, it could also serve as the basis for a formal IAI directory on Human Dimensions Research in the Americas. %%% The goal of this project is threefold: to identify individuals and institutions developing research on issues related to the human and policy dimension of global cha nge in the region; to inform Latin American social scientists about the research mission and project funding opportunities of the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI); and to involve them in the development of the IAI's Human Dimensions research agenda.
