Conservation, Development and Changing Property Relations in Rural Tanzania

该研究分析了坦桑尼亚塞卢斯野生动物保护区缓冲区内两个社区的综合保护发展项目（icdp）对农村财产关系的影响。目的是解释这些组织如何影响财产关系，并调查确定习惯权利并对其产生影响的过程。这项工作将通过展示当地的斗争、谈判和对产权的争夺如何与面向全球的生物多样性保护战略相互作用，推进政治生态学理论领域。该研究还旨在对这些群落进行比较分析，并评估随着时间的推移，保护干预措施的效果。方法包括访谈、参与性观察、土地使用调查和制图以及档案研究。

Florida International University The research analyzes the effects of integrated conservation-development projects (ICDPs) on rural property relations in two communities within the Selous Game Reserve buffer zone, Tanzania. The intent is to explain how such organizations affect property relations and investigate the process by which customary rights are identified and impacted upon. The work will advance the area of political ecology theory by showing how local struggles, negotiations, and contests over property rights interact with globally oriented strategies for biodiversity conservation. The research is also designed to provide a comparative analysis of the communities as well as evaluate the effects of conservation interventions over time. Methodologies include interviews, participant observation, land use surveys and mapping, and archival research.
