Economic competition for land use between social forestry and agriculture
Employment ; Farming;Agriculture ; Forestry ; Land use ; Rural economy
The analyses established that the lower competitive position of farm forestry can be explained by lack of liquidity through long investment periods and large time intervals between wood harvests. The analyses also established that agriculture
provides more continuous employment opportunities, which is a disadvantage for social forestry in countries where providing employment opportunities is a development goal. - (l'A.).

Internationalisation is used as a device with which to reexamine geographies of national development and geography in national development in New Zealand. The A. discusses national and internationalised forestry before considering some of the new
Gramsci in green : neoliberal hegemony through urban forestry and the potential for a political ecology of praxis
Civil society ; Forestry ; Hegemony ; Ideology ; Neo liberalism ; Pedagogy ; Political ecology ; United States of America ; Wisconsin
A Gramscian perspective and data gathered from 20 in-depth interviews with foresters are used to theorize how rollout policy is deployed through urban forestry (Wisconsin, USA) to extend market hegemony to new geographies. The state's market
-oriented regulatory legitimacy is consolidated through the apparently benign act of promoting urban forestry.

Using photomaps to support participatory processes of community forestry in the Middle Hills of Nepal
Aerial photographs and participatory photomapping (tracing maps over air photos) are evaluated in order to support participatory processes of community forestry in Parbat District of the Middle Hill Region. A. finds that most people, regardless
of their education, accurately interpreted forest conditions and profiles of community use from photographs. Development of a service for low-cost printing of high resolution and geographically correct photomaps is described. - (SLD)

Using the case of Scottish Highlands, the AA. explore the question of expanding forest cover, in an attempt to critically explain regional land-cover change. Two divergent forestry practices and ecologies have been formed in the wake of economic
, the general public rated forest landscape elements quite highly relative to a variety of other landscape elements. For the most part, those surveyed did not feel that too much of the country’s land area was currently in forestryuse. Finally, respondents held
this context, the overall aim of this paper is to examine some of the non-market - or rather non-timber production related - benefits of forests. Forestry investment has been identified as a means of promoting economic development in rural areas. The survey
results presented here suggest that there are likely to be substantial public good benefits to the promotion of the forestry sector. More specifically, given the frequency of visits nationally, forest parks are shown to be a recreational resource which
is highly valued by the general public. Results suggest, however, that individuals are not a homogeneous group with regard to their use of forest parks as there are significant differences between likely users and non-users. In terms of visual amenity

Land-use changes in two middle hills districts of Nepal

From 1993 to 1996, the Nepal Australia Community Forestry project conducted four comparative land-use studies in Nepal's Sindhu Palchok and Kabhre Palanchok districts to evaluate the efficacity of Australian development assistance over a 19-year
period to foster community forestry. Study used sets of air photographs taken in 1978 and 1992, supplemented by Rapid Rural Appraisal and other information, to assess land-use changes from 600 to 4,000 m in altitude. Whereas some grassland and shrublands

This paper presents a review of the role of geographical information systems, GIS, in climatology and meteorology by discussing methods used to derive and refine spatial climate data, and reviewing the bespoke application of GIS and spatial climate
datasets in agriculture, ecology, forestry, health and disease, wheather forecasting, hydrology, transport, urban environments, energy and climate change.

Seeing green in Mali's woods : colonial legacy, forest use, and local control
This article provides a historical perspective based on archival records that show how state forestry management in colonial Mali reflected the interests of the French administration, in contrast to those of the peasantry. In the 1990s, Mali began
to reform forestry policy so that forest resource user-groups could have a greater role in management. Data on income and expenditures from a periurban fuelwood-producing village show differential access to and dependence on forest resources for livelihood.
