dove0097263这是耶鲁大学Michael Dove博士代表他的学生Keely Maxwell女士提交的论文。该项目的目的是分析秘鲁马丘比丘历史保护区的动态文化景观，并研究人们如何以及为什么在物理和意识形态上塑造其景观。本项目由美国项目和地理与区域科学项目联合资助。在与库斯科马丘比丘项目和库斯科圣安东尼奥阿巴德大学的合作中，调查人员的目标是了解参与者对马丘比丘树木和森林的看法、权利和责任如何以及为什么不同；这些差异如何影响资源管理策略和结果；以及马丘比丘的物质形态和意识形态之间的相互作用如何导致社会和生态后果。本研究结果将促进跨学科讨论，探讨如何利用社会理论分析和解决保护区问题，以及社会理论如何更好地解决社会和生态系统之间的动态关系，从而使两国受益。

Dove0097263This is a dissertation grant submitted by Dr. Michael Dove, Yale University on behalf of his student, Ms. Keely Maxwell. The objective of the project is to analyze the dynamic cultural landscape of the Machu Picchu Historical Sanctuary, Peru, and investigate how and why people physically and ideologically shape its landscape. This project is being jointly supported between the Americas Program and the Geography and Regional Science Program. In collaboration with the Machu Picchu Program in Cuzco,and the University of Cuzco San Antonio Abad, the investigators' aim is to understand how and why participants' perceptions of, and rights and responsibilities to, trees and forests in Machu Picchu differ; how these differences affect resource management strategies and outcomes; and how interactions among physical and ideological shapings of Machu Picchu cause social and ecological consequences. Results of this research will benefit both countries by promoting interdisciplinary discussions regarding how to utilize social theory to analyze and resolve protected area problems, and how social theory can better address dynamics between social and ecological systems.
