Abstract
The Forest/Land-use Practices in the Philippines Study (FLUPPS) investigates forest and landuse
practices of the rural poor across various sites. It focuses on the potential relationships between
forest, tree-use patterns and land-use practices taking into account:
a. forest-related policies and development programs in the national level;
b. social, economic and tenurial characteristics of households; and
c. conditions specific to the communities' studied.
Four investigators gathered information on the household-level through surveys on (1) social and
economic conditions of 50 respondents in each eight study sites; (2) forest and tree-use practices of 25
households in each of the same sites; and (3) case analysis of village-specific issues. Additionalinformation
on fuelwood use was generated in six of the eight villages.
