Outline of Annual Research Achievements

本研究の目的は、学際的国際共同研究「ペルー・アマゾンの農村生計・貧困(Peruvian Amazon Rural Livelihoods and Poverty, PARLAP)」を強化することである。大規模ミクロデータ（流域全村調査・農村標本調査・家計標本調査・COVID-19農村電話調査・国勢調査） とリモートセンシング分析を統合する。主に次を実施した。
1.次のデータ作業を行った。(1)ペルー国勢調査データの整備（センサス年間の農村マッチング、農村位置の確認）、(2)リモートセンシング分析による、農村バッファー・グリッドセルレベルのGISデータベース（森林被覆等）の作成。
2. 次のテーマ研究を進めた。「零細漁業の生業と貧困」、「疾病に対する生物資源利用」、「COVID-19に対する生物資源利用」（以上、論文を国際学術誌に発表）、「農村特性と狩猟」、「野生生物に関する住民の知識の広範性」、「COVID-19における食料援助の効果」、「COVID-19調査」（以上、論文を国際学術誌に投稿）、「熱帯雨林保全と農村開発に関する空間経済」、「市場アクセスの環境への影響」（若手研究者主体）、「調査地選定バイアス」（大学院生修士論文の拡張）、「氾濫原農業と熱帯雨林保全・開発」、「熱帯雨林と幸福感」、「生計・貧困・不平等の実態」、「種子ネットワークの形成」。

Current Status of Research Progress

2: Research has progressed on the whole more than it was originally planned.

Reason

進捗が遅れているテーマ研究があるものの、比較的順調に進んでいる。

Strategy for Future Research Activity

1. データ作業を継続して行う。特に、リモートセンシング分析を行い、GISデータベースを拡張する。
2. テーマ研究を拡張し、成果発表を行う。
