Mapping Land Resource Potential and Agricultural Pressure in Papua New Guinea
Author: Luke W. Hanson
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Agricultural mapping
Languages : en
Pages : 60
Book Description
This report outlines the development of new methods to assess land resource potential and agricultural pressure in Papua New Guinea. Land resource potential was derived through the classification of environmental data relevant to the growth and management of crops under village conditions. Parameters such as annual rainfall, rainfall seasonality, temperature, light, flooding, slope gradient and soil type were classified according to crop growth constraints. Information on land resource potential pressure is being used to guide and prioritise the research activities of the PNG National Agricultural Research Institute along with the rural development activities of international development donors and all levels of government within the country. While the work is specific to PNG, the methods presented are generic and applicable to most situations depending on data availability.

Permissive Residents
Author: Diana Glazebrook
Publisher: ANU E Press
ISBN: 1921536233
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 172
Book Description
This book offers another frame through which to view the event of the outrigger landing of 43 West Papuans in Australia in 2006. West Papuans have crossed boundaries to seek asylum since 1962, usually eastward into Papua New Guinea (PNG), and occasionally southward to Australia. Between 1984-86, around 11,000 people crossed into PNG seeking asylum. After the Government of PNG acceded to the United Nations Convention and Protocol Relating to the Status of Refugees, West Papuans were relocated from informal camps on the international border to a single inland location called East Awin. This volume provides an ethnography of that settlement based on the author's fieldwork carried out in 1998-99.
