Remote sensing and statistical data analysis as tools to understand forest livelihood strategies
Integration of information from household surveys and data on land-cover changes derived from remote sensing helps to understand the causes and processes of land-use/land-cover changes. A household survey covering 552 households in 33 villages was carried out in the East Province of Cameroon. Thi...

Impact of macroeconomic change on deforestation in South Cameroon: integration of household survey and remotely-sensed data
This paper analyzes land use change in the Brazilian savanna and draws out policy implications about the adoption of resource management technologies. Resources management technologies are more likely to be adopted in areas experiencing a long-term deterioration in market conditions. Adoptions oc...

Land use change in soybean production systems in the Brazilian savanna: the role of policy and market conditions
This short article describes an unlikely, but fruitful, collaboration between an anthropologist and an Artificial Intelligence researcher, the purpose of which was to build a model of how indigenous Dayak people in Kalimantan decide on their activities in the forest. The approach and the results ...
This paper examines the conversion of Indonesia’s natural forests to timber and tree crop plantations, notably oil palm. The principal aims are to understand the impact of this process on natural forest and on forest-dwelling people, and to establish whether past and present policies governing th...

Implikasi perubahan kebijakan otonomi daerah terhadap beberapa aspek di sektor kehutanan: studi kasus di kabupaten Luwu utara, Sulawesi selatan
This study seeks to examine the causes and consequences of forest loss and therefore biodiversity loss in Ghana. It examines the driving forces behind and evaluates policy options for addressing the problem of biodiversity loss. It also makes recommendations for an optimal strategy for the sustai...
A dynamic model of forest land use in Ghana is developed and used to derive demand equations for optimal timber harvesting, cocoa land and maize land that are a function of the model’s price parameters. An equation is also developed to estimate the biodiversity level in Ghana. The hypothesis that...
