Item type:Publication, Land-use microsimulation model for livelihood diversification after the 2010 Merapi Volcano eruptions(2022-09-28)After the 2010 Merapi volcano eruptions, many villages were relocated to semi-urban settlements separated from their earlier livelihoods and with few options for diversification. Post-disaster resettlement is dependent on people's access to livelihoods as a means for short-and longterm recovery. This study evaluates post-disaster mobility, aiming to clarify whether a land-use network with distributed livelihood options can complement rural labor in a recovery scenario. In 2019, a field survey was conducted in the largest resettlement site of the Sleman Regency in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, to evaluate the state of recovery; socio-demographic and land use data was subsequently processed to forecast urban development up to the year 2030. Travel routines were simulated for 2019 and 2030 comparatively to quantify travel efficiency and ease of access to employment options with the Operational Land Use and Transport Microsimulation (OLUTM) model. 1,944 new tradable and nontradable jobs were added to the area. Consequently, residential demand was met with a 44% deficit caused by spillover effects. The study also saw that 63% of the 84% livelihood diversifications were made by farmers and that farming was kept as the primary job while homebusinesses became a secondary employment. Travel utilities were reduced by 30% while travel in the settlement saw 49% fewer kilometers driven. As a result, CO 2 emissions decreased by 28% and a balance in mobility modes was achieved for the whole settlement. The OLUTM model demonstrates that people utilized 21%-26% of their monthly income before the intervention and 11%-18.4% after with a modest bus service. This study concludes that recovery planning with economies of scale generates livelihood opportunities for farmers in rural areas. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Policy Brief: The role of Amazonian Indigenous Peoples in fighting the climate crisis(2022-11-01)Indigenous territories (ITs) in the Amazon protect approximately 24.5 GtC aboveground, act as significant barriers to deforestation and forest degradation, and serve as an important buffer against climate change. Demarcated ITs have significantly less deforestation than unrecognized lands, demonstrating the importance of demarcating ITs to both protect the livelihoods and cultures of the Amazon’s native peoples and to conserve its forests and rivers. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Proper testing strategies and unambiguous communication is the best strategy to protect oil-spill affected populations(Universidad Ricardo Palma, Instituto de Investigaciones en Ciencias Biomedicas, Facultad de Medicina Humana, 2022-04-01)Dear Editor, Regarding the unfortunate oil spill occurred last January 15th on our coast, I would like to call the attention of your readership towards the need to formulate a proactive Plan of Action to address Environmental Health concerns and use the best practices to communicate risks for people whose livelihoods are closely intertwined with the affected areas. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Flow/Fund Theory and Rural Livelihoods(Springer International Publishing, 2023-01-01)The concept of social metabolism and its relation with ecological distribution conflicts is a key theme in the work of Joan Martinez-Alier and the Barcelona school. It creates a bridge between the fields of ecological economics and political ecology. Following Georgescu-Roegen’s fund-flow theory of economic production, the present chapter has the objective to illustrate with a case study at the commodity frontier of the Andes-Amazon region in Peru, the relation between material flows and ecological distribution conflicts. The systemic and participatory approaches we have adopted can facilitate the prevention of social conflicts. Decision-makers should be aware of different perspectives hold by diverse social groups and their relation with the biophysical reality, and acknowledging them as part of social metabolism studies. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, The perception of the impacts of climate change in communities surrounding Lake Titicaca, Peru-Bolivia.(Faculty of 1000, 2026-05-26)<ns3:p> Background Climate change is increasingly transforming socio-ecological systems in high-Andean regions, particularly in communities surrounding Lake Titicaca, where livelihoods depend heavily on climate-sensitive activities such as agriculture, fisheries, livestock, and tourism. Despite growing environmental pressures, limited evidence exists regarding how local populations and institutional actors perceive climate-related impacts and adaptive responses in this transboundary region. This study analyzes climate change perceptions, perceived impacts, and adaptation capacities in communities located in Puno Bay (Peru) and Cohana Bay (Bolivia). Methods A mixed-methods approach integrating quantitative and qualitative techniques was applied during fieldwork conducted in November 2024 and June 2025 in the communities of Quehuaya, Capachica, Guaqui, and Puno. Data collection included structured surveys administered to 62 community members and 26 institutional actors, semi-structured interviews, participatory workshops, and participatory mapping exercises. Descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, and Spearman correlations were used for exploratory quantitative analysis, while qualitative information was analyzed through thematic coding and socio-ecological interpretation. Results Findings revealed high levels of climate change awareness among community members (85.5%) and institutional actors (100%). Respondents identified reduced rainfall, increasing temperatures, hydrological variability, declining agricultural productivity, reduced fish availability, and tourism-related impacts as the principal perceived effects. Significant differences were identified regarding adaptation measures (χ <ns3:sup>2</ns3:sup> = 14.96, p < 0.001) and institutional support (χ <ns3:sup>2</ns3:sup> = 18.32, p < 0.001), evidencing structural inequalities in adaptive capacity. A moderate positive correlation (ρ = 0.36, p = 0.003) was observed between climate perception and reported impacts. Conclusions Climate change is widely recognized across Lake Titicaca communities; however, adaptive capacity remains uneven due to disparities in institutional support, resources, and technical knowledge. Strengthening multi-level governance, participatory adaptation strategies, and transboundary cooperation is essential for improving resilience in Andean socio-ecological systems. </ns3:p>1
