Book excerpt: "Demographic and migration characteristics of riberenos , the largest population group in the Amazon Basin, have been neglected by scholars until recently. This thesis explores the determinants and consequences of migration in the Pacaya-Samina National Reserve (PSNR), northeastern Peruvian Amazon. Our findings suggest that migration reduces the rate of population growth and alters household composition. Logit and probit models show that migration in the area is determined by individual characteristics (i.e., education level of migrants and sibling structure), household factors (i.e., family age-sex composition, kingroup size, age of male head of household, education level of male and female heads of household, illness experience, initial extraction skills, initial non-land assets, and livelihood activity reliance), and community features (land endowments and the presence of a secondary school). Multiple regressions (OLS) further reveal that the household age-sex composition and migration characteristics influence resource use. Migration features seem to be more positively associated with agricultural production and resource extraction, and negatively related with fish production. This research improves our understanding of traditional people in the PSNR area." --

Book excerpt: "Rapid urbanization is particularly pronounced in the developing world, including countries in the Amazon region. The increasing prominence of cities poses new threats and opportunities to people typically described as "rural," and to the natural environments on which they often depend. Although rural development and urbanization are often seen as competing processes, in most cases, they are intimately linked. The livelihoods of rural and urban households increasingly rely on a combination of rural and urban resources, and on the diversification of income-generating activities, which often involves mobility and migration. However, scholarship has tended to focus either on the impacts of growing rural-urban linkages on local economies and livelihoods, or on natural resource conservation outcomes, rather than both―despite recognition that people's well-being and environmental management are heavily intertwined. In this dissertation, I examine the ways in which ribereño people situated at the edges of the Pacaya Samiria National Reserve (PSNR), a large protected area on the Peruvian Amazon floodplain, make a living. I pay explicit attention to the ways in which household livelihood strategies are conditioned by connections between rural and urban areas, and, moreover, to the implications of these rural-urban linkages for aquatic resource use, management, and conservation. I use a combination of socioeconomic and ecological data (household, market, and resource harvest surveys, and individual interviews) collected in three communities, as well as in the largest city in the Peruvian Amazon to analyze 1) historical patterns of migration and mobility in the region; 2) factors determining household use of aquatic resources; 3) the relationship between informal credit, market supply chains, and household resource use; and, 4) the role of rural livelihood activities, including land and resource use, in supporting household dispersal to urban areas.Results indicate that short-term migration and mobility are key components of livelihood strategies in this area, and represent attempts to minimize vulnerability and/or accumulate capital. Movement is often driven by access to aquatic resources. Moreover, these resources play a particularly important role in mitigating the risks associated with rural-urban migration. Household resource use is strongly correlated with use of informal credit, and thus with urban demand for resources. Recent urban migrants also depend heavily on agricultural production and aquatic resource extraction by their rural families for food security. These findings demonstrate that rural-urban linkages play increasingly prominent roles in the livelihoods of ribereño people in the Peruvian Amazon, and are illustrated by patterns and drivers of movement and natural resource use. These linkages must therefore be explicitly accounted for in interventions designed to improve livelihoods and protect vulnerable resources. Specific policy recommendations are discussed. " --

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Information is an important part of livelihood decision making for rural peasants throughout the developing world. In recent times, the role of market information has become a topic of particular interest in development circles, given the global rise and increasing accessibility of information, brought about by technological innovations, notably the internet and mobile phones. In this study we examine the traditional social structures that facilitate access to market price information among ribereño producers in four villages along the Tahuayo River in the northeastern Peruvian Amazon. Further, we assess the factors that contribute to market price information uncertainty and the implications for household livelihood strategies. Methods include summary statistics, network analysis using NetDraw, and Probit and OLS regression models. Data were collected between June and August, 2011 and included informal interviews with the three Tahuayo River boat operators, participant observation, daily notation of market prices for four products of high regional importance: yuca, plantain, aguaje and charcoal, and semi-structured household interviews (n=70) with heads of households in the four study villages. Additionally, we use household survey data collected between June and November, 2010 from the same sampled households (n=70), and historic market price data from 1994, 1995 and 1998. Our results show that produce prices in Belén are highly variable as a result of unstable and, sometimes unpredictable market supply, which contributes to information uncertainty among ribereño producers. Information about market prices is primarily communicated by word of mouth from other members of the village; knowledge of market prices is variable and dependant on who has been to the market that week. Finally, telephone ownership did not appear to improve household knowledge of market price information, probably due to other issues such as lack of access to electricity supply, low affordability of telecommunication, and lack of an informant to call in the markets of Iquitos." --

This book was released on 2013 with total page 596 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: This study examines how differential accessibility to regional markets and natural resources affects smallholder livelihoods in the northeastern Peruvian Amazon, particularly in terms of household income diversification or specialization. A combination of qualitative and quantitative methods were applied to semi-structured smallholder household (N = 319) and community leader interview data collected in 40 communities in 2006-2007, in addition to change detection performed on Landsat satellite imagery (1987, 1993, and 2001). First, the dissertation explores changes in smallholder land use patterns across the study region during a period of profound macroeconomic changes and continual urbanization, finding that overall land use trends of agricultural abandonment reflected national reductions in agrarian subsidies. Second, based on interview data, household processes of income diversification and specialization were analyzed in two sections of the study area, the Itaya and Nanay basins. In the Itaya Basin, it was observed that smallholder livelihood specialization was aided by road development increasing transportation accessibility to important regional markets. In the more isolated Nanay Basin, livelihood choices were found to be influenced by processes of livelihood displacement caused by conservation efforts, in addition to remoteness and river seasonality. This study concludes by reflecting on the importance of the spatial relations of access to resources and markets in the region and in similar places in the developing tropics. This kind of information can help make national and regional policy decisions on such issues such as conservation, agrarian credits, road development, which may differentially affect smallholder livelihoods and their environments.
