Land Use Surveys

 

In 2001 and, again, in 2010

this project interviewed roughly 150 Calakmul households. Below are the interview forms from both time periods along with corresponding NSF proposals (BCS 1193739 for 2001 and BCS 0957354 for 2010). Both survey rounds asked separate questions of male and female household heads. The 2001 forms were made with the help of David Carr (UCSB) and Dick Bilsborrow (UNC). The 2010 update was made possible via collaboration with Birgit Schmook at ECOSUR in Chetumal and Claudia Radel (USU). Below the links, a photo of the survey team, taking a break during a rainy afternoon. SURVEYS ARE IN SPANISH
