This project aims at answering the question "what is a sustainable
humanosphere in rural Southeast Asia?" Sustainable humanosphere studies
have been proposed by the Kyoto University Global COE program "In
Search of Sustainable Humanosphere in Asia and Africa" as a new paradigm
to overcome the confrontation of the expansion of human activities and
the capacity of global, regional and local environments. The basic approach
of this project is to carry out village studies of mountain, plain and
coastal landscapes to grasp opportunities and risks arising in the transition
of livelihood systems when stakeholders question the existing natural resources
management regime and opportunistically intervene in ecosystems. So far
we are carrying out village studies at Yunnan (China), Luang Nam Tha (Laos),
Khon Kaen (Thailand), Rayong (Thailand) and Cambodia.
