Understanding Changes in Land and Forest Resource Management Systems: Ratanakiri, Cambodia
This paper draws on case studies from three communities in Ratanakiri to illustrate both the forces driving land-use and tenure change as well as how effective community stewardship can guide agricultural transitions.The study combines a time series of remotely sensed data from 1989 to 2006 to evaluate changes in land use, and relates this data to in-depth ground truth observations and social research from three villages.The methodology was desig…

Fiber grass from forest land
For more than a century in India, rural communities and government forest departments have struggled over the control of forest resources. State bureaucracies have prevailed in circles of law and political power in their attempt to dominate nearly one‐quarter of India's land area, but forest villages, because of their traditional rights, number, and proximity, have maintained their position as the principle resource user. This case study provides…

Social Forestry in Java: Reorienting Management Systems
In Java, as in many developing nations, forestry bureaucracies control vast land areas. Many such agencies were formed during the colonial era to generate revenues for the government and protect forest resources. As population and state controls on forest land have expanded, conflict between forestry agencies and local communities over land access has increased. This paper examines how social scientists worked with foresters in Java to evolve new…

Changing dryland agriculture in eastern Bali
Patterns of Change in the Nepal Himalaya
Toward a new understanding of population change in Bali
During the 1970s the rate of population growth in Bali declined substantially. These demographic changes occurred within the context of a predominantly peasant, agrarian society. Yet our understanding of why the changes took place and of the forces shaping emerging population patterns remains extremely limited. In this paper new ways are explored of interpreting recent demographic events through the use of historical, anthropological and socio-ec…
