This paper explores land use and cover changes in the FNNR region, comparing areas eligible and ineligible for Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES) goals. It discusses an agent-based model (ABM) framework, detailing initial programming stages for sub-models that examine variables such as fertility, migration, marriage, and economic decision-making impacts on land change. The study emphasizes the need for accurate census data and high-resolution remote sensing information, including qualitative cultural insights and ground truth sites related to forest classifications.

Remote Sensing – Land Use/Cover Change in the FNNR region. • Comparing change in land eligible/ineligible for PES Goals/papers Agent-Based Model – Model outline and beginning of sub-model programming. • AAG? RS results or ABM overview?
Data needed For ABM Survey data (variables for fertility, migration, marriage, land change/economic decision making sub-models) Census data Accurate land-cover/land use classification (see below) Qualitative/cultural info • For RS • ground truth sites – forest type and forest/non-forest. • Or: higher resolution data?
I’m happy to participate where needed. Fieldwork
