Document Summary

National household survey (voluntary extra details: at least 5 indicators. Driven by critical issues: compare with other community in the region or province, and compare with provincial average. When displaying data, it is best to convert the raw numbers given in the census to percentages, proportions, rates, etc. to standardize across communities with different denominators. Another way to displa(cid:455) data is tre(cid:374)d data (cid:894)looki(cid:374)g a(cid:272)ross se(cid:448)eral (cid:272)e(cid:374)sus periods, e(cid:454).

Multifunctional development: development of agro-forestry systems, attention to ecosystem services. Examples of water conservation: watersheds in taiwan. Small, densely populated island with a lot of natural area. Watershed outside of the capital is a farming landscape.
