Using survey data from regions of Cambodia, Nicaragua, Peru, Uganda, and Vietnam, the study examines the relationship between sudden- and gradual-onset climate events and migration, hypothesizing that this relationship is mediated by the adaptive capacity of affected individuals.
This paper examines migration decision-making and individual perceptions of different types of environmental change (sudden vs. gradual environmental events) with a focus on five developing countries: Vietnam, Cambodia, Uganda, Nicaragua, and Peru.
The authors investigate the ways in which migration has transformed the landscape surrounding Kibale National Park in western Uganda by combining historical narratives with interview, census, and satellite data.
Human population, production and consumption are growing rapidly and are placing heavy pressures on those species and habitats that the conservation community is striving to protect. A major weakness in our organized abilities to deal with this problem lies in disciplinary specialization.
Mugisha documents the effect of biophysical-socio-economic factors on land cover/use changes in Uganda over the past 100 years.
In this paper, the author noted that adaptation of urban areas to climate change needs three interventions: adaptation of urban infrastructure, community-based adaptation and institutional adaptation.
In this paper we investigate whether satellite imagery in combination with land cover information and census data can be used to create inexpensive, high resolution and easily-updatable settlement and population distribution maps over large areas. (from Background)
In this study, the authors identified the drivers of land use change in the Teso farming system and its impacts on soil productivity; as well as determined the farm-level factors that influence farming systems’ sustainability.
