Abstract

This paper presents an analytical approach to the identification of characteristic fuel‐wood situations in developing countries. This approach recognizes the tension between achieving a level of generalization needed for policy formulaion and the need to capture the specifics of fuelwood production and use at a local level. A typology, based on environmental and socioeconomic criteria, is advanced which is intended to form the basis of a refining of policy principles to the specifics of different localities. A series of brief case studies is presented to illustrate the characteristics of different types of locality, and conclusions of the future direction of fuelwood policy are advanced.
