Land-use poverty traps identified in shifting cultivation systems shape long-term tropical forest cover.
In this article we illustrate how fine-grained longitudinal analyses of land holding and land use among forest peasant households in an Amazonian village can enrich our understanding of the poverty/land cover nexus. We examine the dynamic links in shifting cultivation systems among asset poverty, land use, and land cover in a community where poverty is persistent and primary forests have been r...

متن کاملEvaluating programmes in conflict-affected areas
We provide an overview over the concepts, pitfalls and challenges involved in conducting scientifically sound impact evaluations and randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in conflict-affected and fragile states or areas. We consider both interventions aimed at preventing and overcoming war, conflict and insecurity as well as interventions targeted at common socioeconomic outcomes such as liveliho...
متن کاملPotential of Alos Palsar 50m Mosaic Product for Land Cover Classification in Tropical Rain Forest
In this research, the potential use of 50m ALOS/PALSAR mosaic data in mapping land cover and monitoring deforestation in Riau province using its amplitude and texture is studies. By using several bands of textural information, the main land covers in the image were improved. The geo-statistical analysis indicated that there was no single window size that would adequate characterize the range of...
متن کاملRandom Forest Algorithm for Land Cover Classification
Since the launch of the first land observation satellite Landsat-1 in 1972, many machine learning algorithms have been used to classify pixels in Thematic Mapper (TM) imagery. Classification methods range from parametric supervised classification algorithms such as maximum likelihood, unsupervised algorithms such as ISODAT and k-means clustering to machine learning algorithms such as artificial...
