Abstract
Past efforts to develop the Philippine uplands failed because they neglected human development, both as a goal and as a means for ecosystem development. A three-level hierarchical model is presented as the basis of a more holistic approach to ecosystem development and examples of ecological strategies are presented to illustrate how such an approach might be implemented.
Résumé
Les efforts destinés à développer les régions montagneuses des Philippines ont échoué pour avoir négligé le développement humain, que ce soit en tant que finalité ou en tant que rôle de l’homme dans le développement de l’écosystème. Un modèle hiérarchique à trois niveaux est présenté comme base d’une approche globale du développement de l’écosystème, et des exemples de stratégies écologiques sont discutés de manière à démontrer la possibilité de réaliser une telle approche.
Zusammenfassung
Frühere Anstrengungen zur Entwicklung der Bergregionen in den Philippinen mißlangen, weil die menschliche Entwicklung vernachlässigt wurde, in zweierlei Hinsicht, einerseits bezüglich des Ziels und anderseits, hinsichtlich der ökologischen Entwicklung. Ein drei-stufiger hierarchischer Modell wird vorgestellt als Grundlage für eine ganzheitliche Betrachtung zur Oekologischen Entwicklung und Beispiele für die Strategie einer solchen Entwicklung werden erläutert, um darzulegen wie eine solche Auffassung verwircklicht werden könnte.
