0108992Dove / McElwee The impact of native groups on tropical forests is not well understood. In some cases, analysts feel that traditional societies have a benign conservationist effect on the forest, in others, that they exploit and degrade the forest with no thought on future productivity. This project involves the dissertation research of a Forestry/Environmental Studies and Anthropology student from Yale University. The student will analyze the effects of ethnicity, migration and land tenure on forest use in Vietnam through ethnographic fieldwork using participant observation, household surveys, mapping and analysis of extant records. The hypotheses to be tested are that ethnicity, migration and land tenure play a role in how different user groups manage the forest. Three different ethnic groups will be studied: indigenous Chut, in-migrant and longer-term Vietnamese, and in-migrant Muong. The new knowledge created by this project will advance our understanding of how multi-ethnic societies can manage a scarce resource, a timely question in the contemporary world. In addition the project contributes to the training of a young social scientist, and increases our knowledge of this important region of the world.

0108992Dove / McElwee 当地群体对热带森林的影响尚不清楚。在某些情况下，分析人士认为传统社会对森林具有良性的保护主义影响，而在另一些情况下，他们开发和退化森林而不考虑未来的生产力。该项目涉及耶鲁大学林业/环境研究和人类学学生的论文研究。 学生将通过参与观察、家庭调查、制图和现有记录分析的民族志实地考察，分析种族、移民和土地所有制对越南森林利用的影响。要检验的假设是种族、移民和土地保有权在不同用户群体如何管理森林方面发挥着作用。 将研究三个不同的民族：土著楚特人、移民和长期居住的越南人以及移民芒人。该项目创造的新知识将增进我们对多民族社会如何管理稀缺资源的理解，这是当今世界的一个及时问题。 此外，该项目有助于培养年轻的社会科学家，并增加我们对世界这一重要地区的了解。
