Tóm tắt

Các kích thước giới tính là điều cơ bản trong các hệ thống con người/môi trường. Tôi sử dụng giới tính để điều tra sự thay đổi đất đai trong một khu vực rừng có ý nghĩa bảo tồn ở vùng đất nông nghiệp của Maasailand, Kenya. Phương pháp hỗn hợp tiết lộ một dòng narative từ giữa những năm 1970 dẫn đến một cuộc chuyển đổi về đất đai, sinh kế và văn hóa vào năm 2014. Các phát hiện thực nghiệm mở rộng hiểu biết hiện tại về sự thay đổi sinh kế ở Maasailand để bao gồm các kích thước giới tính quan trọng đối với sự thành công của sinh kế. Dữ liệu vệ tinh cảm biến từ xa và bằng chứng định tính đã phơi bày những narative đơn giản về điều kiện môi trường tại Rừng Loita và tình trạng xã hội của phụ nữ Maasai. Tôi lập luận rằng giới tính cần được chú ý nhiều hơn trong các nghiên cứu về thay đổi đất đai vì mối liên hệ của nó với việc sử dụng tài nguyên và các yếu tố thúc đẩy sự sụt giảm rừng trên toàn thế giới.
