“…Similar situations have been found in Vietnam, where easily accessible areas, inhabited by ethnically dominant groups, have gained forest [29,83]. The nature and quality of gained forest in Luang Prabang remains unknown, yet documented cases in neighboring Vietnam show that both market integration and policies aiming at reducing shifting cultivation led to agricultural intensification and abandonment of upland agriculture in well-connected villages [83]. With these examples, we can conclude that accessibility is a key driver of forest cover change, yet other underlying causes determine positive or negative forest cover change, and their intensity is felt gradually with increasing population density and accessibility.…”

Abstract:The aim of this paper is to explore possible links between forest cover change and characteristics of social-ecological systems at sub-national scale based mainly on census data. We assessed relationships between population density, poverty, ethnicity, accessibility and forest cover change during the last decade for four regions of Bolivia and the Lao PDR, combining a parcel-based with a cell-based approach. We found that accessibility is a key OPEN ACCESSLand 2015, 4 46 driver of forest cover change, yet it has the effect of intensifying other economic and policy-related underlying drivers, like colonization policies, cash crop demand, but also policies that lead to forest gain in one case. Poverty does not appear as a driver of deforestation, but the co-occurrence of poverty and forest loss driven by external investments appears critical in terms of social-ecological development. Ethnicity was found to be a moderate explanatory of forest cover change, but appears as a cluster of converging socio-economic characteristics related with settlement history and land resource access. The identification of such clusters can help ordering communities into a typology of social-ecological systems, and discussing their possible outcomes in light of a critical view on forest transition theory, as well as the relevance and predictive power of the variables assessed.

“…Therefore, the current analysis and prediction model of land use change was developed based on model simulations and elucidated and integrated the complex socio-economic and interaction processes of natural ecosystems to examine the trends in land-use change and spatial patterns [18][19][20][21]. The most common models used to examine land-use change are the econometric model [22,23], statistical model [24][25][26][27][28][29], and cellular automata model [30]. Chapin et al (2000) [31] claimed that ecosystem processes and biological diversity are two vital intermediaries in the entire economic and human systems global environment.…”

Integrating Ecosystem Services and Eco-Security to Assess Sustainable Development in Liuqiu Island

Abstract:Developing sustainable island tourism must be thoroughly evaluated in consideration of ecological, economic, and social factors on account of the fragility of island ecosystems. This study evaluated the ecological footprint (EF) and ecological capacity of Liuqiu Island from 2010 to 2015 using the EF model, establishing an indicator to estimate the value of ecosystem service and eco-security. The empirical results include: (1) the overall value of ecosystem service on Liuqiu Island increased from US$3.75 million in 2010 to US$5.11 million in 2015; (2) the total per capita EF considerably increased from 0.5640 gha/person in 2010 to 4.0845 gha/person in 2015; and (3) the ecological footprint index increased from 0.30 in 2010 to 2.28 in 2015. These findings indicate that island tourism recreational zones gradually increased the pressure on its ecosystem, reduced the eco-security level, and severely damaged the environment, thereby threatening the function and structure of the entire ecosystem. The innovations and contributions of this study is integrating ecological footprint and ecosystem services valuation provide insights into sustainability of an island. The theoretical and practical implications identified in this study should contribute to reducing the gap between research and practice.
