Abstract

This project analyses key indicators of sustainable development, i.e. poverty and land resources, at sub-national to national scale in Lao PDR, Tanzania, and Pakistan. Spatial patterns of this poverty-environment nexus are then related to a spatially explicit analysis of development interventions and underlying decision-making. Through comparative analysis within and across study sites, a typology of development contexts will be established in order to identify promising pathways towards sustainable development.
