Geography and the Environment Faculty Publications

Contexto:

El territorio fronterizo compartido por las regiones Ucayali (Perú), Madre de Dios (Perú) y Acre (Brasil) es un espacio geográfico de alta sensibilidad física, social, económica y ambiental dada sus características de localización geográfica: clima tropical, escasa accesibilidad, abundantes recursos naturales, alta diversidad biocultural y aislamiento en relación a los respectivos gobiernos centrales. Este territorio fronterizo incluye zonas, tales como la frontera Acre-Ucayali y Acre-Madre de Dios, ocupadas mayoritariamente por diversas poblaciones indígenas. Estas regiones han visto en los últimos años un incremento en actividades de extracción de recursos y proyectos de infraestructura. Dichas actividades incluyen explotación de madera, …

Recently, the Regional Initiative to Integrate South America has begun promoting a transboundary road that would bisect the forested borderlands and connect the two largest cities in the region, while the state governments seek to promote a direct ecological railroad alternative. Both transportation initiatives promise to alter forests and rivers and transform economies and cultures, but these projects also lack the base geographic information necessary to understand their potential transboundary impacts and benefits.

Transboundary Political Ecology In The Peru-Brazil Borderlands: Mapping Workshops, Geographic Information, And Socio-Environmental Impacts, David S. Salisbury, A. William Flores De Melo, Pedro Tipula Tipula

Geography and the Environment Faculty Publications

Development, resource, and settlement frontiers inspired by national policies and global demand continue to expand into the international boundary lands of Amazonia. National policies promote development and conservation projects on lands already inhabited and managed. Regional governments are increasingly frustrated by the inadequate and outdated geographic information available to solve overlapping claims and improve planning in sensitive border regions. The resulting combination of inappropriate policies, contested resources, and poor geographic information in the borderlands create impacts not only for national, regional, and local landscapes and livelihoods but also foreign relations due to transboundary effects. This article uses a transboundary political …

Gis Maps And The Amazon Borderlands, David S. Salisbury

Geography and the Environment Faculty Publications

With training, GIS can be used by all sectors of Latin American society and is the mapping tool of choice for institutions ranging from the Inter-American Development Bank to remote communities in the Amazon rain forest. Geographic information systems are thus a tool of the powerful and the marginalized and the official and the unofficial. [...] In this chapter, we see how GIS maps can improve our ability to analyze conflict over resources and allow additional participation in the process of mapping, but we also confront some of the many political and technical challenges that must be overcome to construct …
