4Common research framework
? identifying specific and common elements of
natural and rural sensitivities ? land and water
resource management practices (in pilot areas?) ?
time series analysis of land use structure
(impact on landscape and production structure) ?
time series analysis of socio-economic impact of
changed resource management (population, job
diversification and sources of income, living
standard changes)
