Economic modeling of tropical deforestation in Antioquia (Colombia), 1980-2000 : an analysis at a semi-fine scale with spatially explicit data

Creator:

Orrego, Sergio A.

Abstract:

This dissertation used land rent theory and an economic model of land-use conversion to examine the main drivers of the deforestation occurred in Antioquia,Colombia, between 1980 and 2000. Land-cover information at a semi-fine scale (1:25,000) obtained largely from aerial photography was employed to calculate deforestation. In addition, free international databases...

The Application of Linear Programming for Forest Land Use and Timber Management Planning with Watershed Considerations in Terengganu, Peninsular Malaysia

Creator:

Mat Isa, Ahmad Zainal

Abstract:

The purpose of this paper is to illustrate the use of Linear Programming (LP) and other mathematical procedures to evaluate watershed and perpetuity constraints on forest land use for a selected scenario in Terengganu, Peninsular Malaysia. The paper describes the system of modelling and forecasting estimates of potential timber growth,...
