Designing a multisector model for land conversion study
Article Abstract:
There is a need to lay stress on integrating multiple resource use objectives and a range of resource sectors so that there can be a systematic investigation of set of land use prospects. Recreation, range and forest wildlife activities should be taken into account. Labor, capital resource constraints and price factor should be considered. A case study incorporating these and other factors in a land conversion study involving agriculture, forestry and economic considerations is presented.

International migration and environmental degradation - the case of Mozambican refugees and forest resources in Malawi
Article Abstract:
The influx of refugees and other international migrants poses a major threat to forest resources since host nations will have to make room for the new entrants. Based on data gathered from Malawi's experience with Mozambican refugees, a model for land use has been developed. The model takes into consideration the different factors involved in deliberate deforestation and presents a framework for determining optimal timing and rate of afforestation.
