This research contributes to an understanding of the relationship between climate change, economic impacts and migration.
We model the long-term relationship (up to 45 years of projection) between demographic dynamics—particularly migration—driven
by changes in the performance of the economy due to climate changes in the Northeast region of Brazil. The region is of particular
relevance to the study of climate change impacts given its large human population (28% of Brazil’s population) and high levels
of impoverishment, having an extensive semi-dry area which will be severely impacted by growing temperatures. Ultimately,
the integrated model generates state- and municipal-level migration scenarios based on climate change impacts on the primary
economic sectors and their articulations with other sectors. Results suggest that the predicted climate changes will impact
severely the agriculture sector in the region, acting as a potential migration push factor to other regions in the country.
Finally, we discuss how the increased vulnerability of some groups, particularly migrants, can be factored into Brazilian
public policy and planning. 相似文献

Population Dynamics and Tropical Deforestation: State of the Debate and Conceptual Challenges 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

What is the role of population in driving deforestation? This question was put forth as a discussion topic in the cyberseminar
hosted by Population Environment Research Network (PERN) in Spring, 2003. Contributors from diverse backgrounds weighed in
on the discussion, citing key factors in the population-deforestation nexus and suggesting further courses of action and research.
Participants explored themes of their own choosing, with many coming to the forefront. Scale, time, and place-based effects
were cited as areas in need of particular attention. Consumption patterns as the mechanism for spurring deforestation were
discussed, drawing attention to the differential patterns associated with urban vs. rural demands on forest resources and
land. The applicability of the IPAT formula and the influence of its component parts, affluence and technology, when operating
in tandem with population, was debated. The relation of demographic factors to these pathways was critically examined. Institutional
and governmental influence, such as infrastructure and policies affecting access and incentives, the valuation of resources,
and institutional failures such as mismanagement and corruption emerged as a crucial set of factors. This article synthesizes
the critical debates in the population-deforestation literature, makes suggestions for future paths of research, and discussed
possible policy and direct action initiatives. 相似文献

Farm Household Lifecycles and Land Use in the Ecuadorian Amazon 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Alisson?F.?BarbieriEmail author Richard?E.?Bilsborrow William?K.?Pan 《Population and environment》2005,27(1):1-27
This paper describes trends in population, household formation, fragmentation of landholdings, and changes in land use between
1990 and 1999 in the Northern Ecuadorian Amazon (NEA)—one of the areas of highest biodiversity in the world. It also shows
how changes in land use are associated with the duration (or age) of the farm settlement, which is also linked to the stage
in the farm household lifecycle and household composition. The study is based upon data from two detailed household surveys,
which result in a cohort of 246 farm households interviewed in 1990 and 1999 as well as 383 new farm households constituted
after 1990. Distinct patterns of land use are linked with duration of settlement, independent of when settlement occurred
in the region. 相似文献

Alisson Poirier-Arbour Gilles Trudel Richard Boyer Pascale Harvey Maria Rocio Goldfarb 《Journal of gambling studies / co-sponsored by the National Council on Problem Gambling and Institute for the Study of Gambling and Commercial Gaming》2014,30(1):173-185
Problem and pathological gamblers (PPG) often suffer from depressive symptoms. Gambling problems have negative consequences on multiple aspects of gamblers’ lives, including family and marital relationships. The objectives of the current study were to (1) replicate the results of studies that have suggested a stronger and more significant relationship between gambling and depression in PPG than in non-problem gamblers (NPG) and (2) explore specific correlates of depressive symptom severity in PPG in couple relationships. Variables demonstrated to be significantly correlated with depressive symptoms in the general population were selected. It was hypothesized that gender, age, gambler’s mean annual income, perceived poverty, employment status, clinical status (i.e., problem or pathological gambler versus non-problem gambler), trait anxiety, alcoholism, problem-solving skills, and dyadic adjustment would be significant predictors of depressive symptoms. Sixty-seven PPG were recruited, primarily from an addiction treatment center; 40 NPG were recruited, primarily through the media. Results revealed that PPG reported significantly greater depressive symptoms than did NPG. Further, elevated trait anxiety and poor dyadic adjustment were demonstrated to be significant and specific correlates of depressive symptom severity in PPG. These findings contribute to the literature on depressive symptomatology in PPG in relationships, and highlight the importance of the influence of the couple relationship on PPG. 相似文献
