Evolution of the Economic Landscape in Taiwan: Looking Inward and Outward

自公元前4000年以来的几个世纪里，台湾的社会生态环境从低影响的狩猎-觅食转变为高密度的村庄居住和集约化农业。与此同时，它通过移民和贸易网络与外部世界建立了新的战略关系。新的研究旨在调查这些长期发展如何相互关联并超越气候变化、自然栖息地、人口规模和其他因素。本研究旨在探讨一个复杂的经济景观系统是如何在持续的挑战中发展和维持自身的，并将台湾作为一个独特的信息范例，将其作为集约的内部土地利用和外部伙伴关系相结合的例子。

Over several centuries since 4000 BC, the social-ecological setting of Taiwan transformed from low-impact hunting-foraging to high-density village residence and intensive farming. Meanwhile, it was reshaped by new strategic relations with the outside world through migration and trade networks. New research aims to investigate how these long-term developments inter-related and transcended changing climate, natural habitats, population size, and other factors. The research is designed to address how a complex economic landscape system developed and sustained itself through ongoing challenges, by concentrating on Taiwan as a uniquely informative example of combined intensive internal land-use and external partnerships.
