0305502AbelThe International Research Fellowship Program enables U.S. scientists and engineers to conduct three to twenty-four months of research abroad. The program's awards provide opportunities for joint research, and the use of unique or complementary facilities, expertise and experimental conditions abroad. This award will support a twelve month research fellowship by Dr. Thomas D. Abel to work with Dr. Shu-Li Huang at the National Taipei University if Taipei, Taiwan.This project will evaluate the impacts of the new and growing "sustainable tourism" industry on Taiwan. It will involve the use of ecological economics to evaluate the sustainability, carrying capacity, and linked natural and human transformations that result from tourism development. Expected results will be the production of ecological footprint measurements of large and small tourism development sites. Other indices will be produced to judge the carrying capacity and intensity of existing and proposed tourism developments. Ethnographic research will measure transformations in political-economic hierarchy and economic strategies of households adjacent to existing tourism centers. With the assistance of Dr. Huang, this study will use computer modeling to produce scenarios of possible Taiwan futures. This research will provide policymakers and researchers with quantitative indicators. It will demonstrate the usefulness of linked human-ecological research for understanding the consequences and benefits of economic development in an interdependent global community.

0305502Abel国际研究奖学金计划使美国科学家和工程师能够在国外进行三到二十四个月的研究。 该项目的奖项提供了联合研究以及使用国外独特或互补的设施、专业知识和实验条件的机会。 该奖项将支持 Thomas D. Abel 博士与台湾台北国立台北大学的黄淑丽博士进行为期 12 个月的研究奖学金。该项目将评估新兴且不断增长的“可持续旅游业”的影响台湾工业。 它将涉及利用生态经济学来评估旅游业发展带来的可持续性、承载能力以及相关的自然和人类转变。 预期结果将是对大型和小型旅游开发地点进行生态足迹测量。 将制定其他指数来判断现有和拟议的旅游开发的承载能力和强度。 民族志研究将衡量现有旅游中心附近家庭的政治经济等级和经济策略的转变。 在黄博士的协助下，这项研究将使用计算机建模来产生台湾可能的未来情景。 这项研究将为政策制定者和研究人员提供定量指标。 它将展示相互关联的人类生态研究对于理解相互依存的全球社会中经济发展的后果和好处的有用性。
