Assessing grain production eco-efficiency under rural land management institutions: A hybrid analytical framework
Coupling Coordinated Development of Urbanization and Soil Conservation Ratio in the Loess Plateau Region of China
With the implementation of various ecological restoration and regional development policies, both urbanization and soil conservation in the Loess Plateau (LP) have advanced substantially, but conflicts between development and the ecological environment are becoming increasingly prominent. Soil conservation is a key regulating ecosystem service, and understanding its interaction and coupling mechanism with urbanization is crucial for achieving sus…
Urbanization and urban energy eco-efficiency: A meta-frontier super EBM analysis based on 271 cities of China
Housing prices and household consumption: A threshold effect model analysis in central and western China
The relationship between housing prices (HP) and household non-housing consumption (CON) is a key topic worldwide. By developing a panel threshold model and utilizing data from 18 provinces in central and western China from 2005 to 2020, this study investigates the impact of housing prices on household non-housing consumption given housing credit constraints. The results show that (1) housing credit constraints play a single threshold role in the…

Analysis of relationship between soil erosion and lake deposition during the Holocene in Xingyun Lake, southwestern China
Quantifying the relative influences of anthropogenic activities and climate change on soil erosion and deposition during the Holocene, when both forces have been interacting is a complex problem. Analysis of long-term patterns in soil erosion and lake deposition in a basin can provide the basis for untangling the complexities of climate and anthropogenic forcings. In this paper, sedimentary sequences from Xingyun Lake are compared with simulated …
Historical environmental changes in the Poyang Lake basin (Yangtze River, China) and impacts on agricultural activities
Climate change and human activities have been an important part of studies regarding historical environmental changes in China over the past 2000 years. In this study, we focused on environmental changes, that is, natural disasters and human activities, in the Poyang Lake Basin over the past 2000 years, to analyze interactions between land use cover changes and human activities from the perspective of regional sustainable development. We collecte…
Optimizing rotation periods of forest plantations: The effects of carbon accounting regimes
Coffee, mines and dams: Conflicts over land in the Bolaven Plateau, southern Lao PDR
During the last decades, neoliberal economic reforms aiming at facilitating trade and cross-boundary investment have encouraged transnational and national economic actors to search for 'empty' land to grow export crops, to mine, or to develop hydroelectric dams. Mainland Southeast Asia is one of the regions where such investment has been taking place as it contains resource-hungry countries (Thailand and in particular neighbouring China), and cou…
Hydropower-Induced Displacement and Resettlement in the Lao PDR
The Lao People's Democratic Republic (PDR) is one of the poorest countries in South East Asia. Yet it has great potential for hydropower development, and the Government of Laos plans to build a large number of hydroelectric dams on the tributaries of the Mekong. Among the areas where these dams are being built is the Bolaven Plateau, the country's main coffee-producing region, inhabited by 22,000 smallholder households (15,000 of which produce co…

Public Housing and Poverty Concentration in Urban Neighbourhoods: The Case of Hong Kong in the 1990s
The undesirable effect of public housing on poverty concentration has been recognised by a series of studies that use census-tract-level aggregate data. This paper examines whether the poverty concentration mechanism of public housing that has been observed elsewhere also functions in Hong Kong. Hong Kong has one of the largest supplies of public housing in the world and also a distinct urban environment. After assessing the poverty rates in Hong…

Ecological Succession of Usable Plants in an Eleven-Year Fallow Cycle in Northern Lao P.D.R.
In all tropical countries shifting cultivators (swiddeners,slash-and-burn farmers) are being encouraged – or forced– to stop swiddening. However, shifting cultivators obtainfrom the forest most of the plants that they need to survive.Once shifting cultivation has been curtailed, fallow areasgradually age, and there is an ecological transformation inthe forests that surround the villages of the swiddeners.The impact of this ecological transformati…
What is a forest? Competing meanings and the politics of forest classification in Thung Yai Naresuan Wildlife Sanctuary, Thailand
Not just minor forest products: The economic rationale for the consumption of wild food plants by subsistence farmers
The Livelihood-based Forest Classification System of the Pwo Karen in Western Thailand
The present article details a system of forest cover classification used by the Pwo Karen, an ethnic minority group living in Thung Yai Naresuan Wildlife Sanctuary in western Thailand. It considers the ways in which local communities sort forest cover types into classes that are meaningful to their livelihood practices, but are at the same time embedded in conservation priorities. Rather than constituting a threat to maintaining the park's integr…
The role of wild food plants in poverty alleviation and biodiversity conservation in tropical countries
Recent research linking poverty alleviation and forest conservation has frequently focused on the potential contribution of the commercialization of Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFPs), and has consequently emphasized incomes from NTFPs rather than their consumption. This paper aims to understand the role played by the consumption of wild food plants in the livelihood of rural populations. Two methods of evaluation are used to estimate the value o…

The Market for Medicinal Plants in Sapa and Hanoi, Vietnam
Social and economic adaptations to a changing landscape
The signing of the Bowring Treaty in 1855 forced Siam to open itself to world trade, and large areas of the Chao Phraya basin were planted with rice. This chapter discusses the differences between subsistence-oriented and cash-oriented economies. Subsistence-oriented farmers must earn the small amount of cash that they require from time to time in ways that are compatible with their subsistence economy. The words indigeny and exogeny indicate a p…
Introduction to Part III
This introduction presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in the part three of this book. The part deals with the cultural background behind the economic choices of the Karen. It describes the outlook of the Karen, the way they view the world outside their village cluster and the opportunities available there, as well as the influence individuals can have on the economic choices of others. Indigeny induces the Karen to be relatively ri…
Living at the Edge of Thai Society: The Karen in the Highlands of Northern Thailand
Deforestation in Northern Thailand: The Result of Hmong Farming Practices or Thai Development Strategies
Taking an historical perspective, this article explores the social, economic, and political context of deforestation and watershed degradation in the highlands of northern Thailand. After the Second World War, the Thai government began promoting the colonization of the highlands, encouraging lowland landless farmers, agribusinesses, and logging companies to colonize and deforest the highlands. In the 1980s, the Thai government declared the closur…
