| Research Abstract |
This study conducted micro spatial and dynamic analyses on shifting cultivation and landscape and social network analysis on forest clearing among peasant households in the Peruvian Amazon. We showed that initial land holdings affect future land use (agroforestry and fallowing), its inequality among households, and forest cover (i. e., land-use trap). We shed new lights on network structure, network formation, substitutability, productivity, and efficiency of cooperative labor for forest clearing.
