Torsten Hagerstrand's notion of a limited domain has been expanded in this study to create a framework for analyzing the relationships and processes between a population and its environment that create population change. A domain is not just a bounded territorial unit, but a social construct brought about by human endeavour to cope with the constraints inherent in their surroundings. The overarching structure of constraints in a domain creates a "packing problem" which societies respond to by developing sets of social and economic relations to regulate the competition for human and material resources. Human activity is in the continual process of carving out a domain from the kinds of options confronting individuals and through an awareness of the limiting conditions within which their action and behaviour occur.Subjects--Topical Terms:

Torsten Hagerstrand's notion of a limited domain has been expanded in this study to create a framework for analyzing the relationships and processes between a population and its environment that create population change. A domain is not just a bounded territorial unit, but a social construct brought about by human endeavour to cope with the constraints inherent in their surroundings. The overarching structure of constraints in a domain creates a "packing problem" which societies respond to by developing sets of social and economic relations to regulate the competition for human and material resources. Human activity is in the continual process of carving out a domain from the kinds of options confronting individuals and through an awareness of the limiting conditions within which their action and behaviour occur.

This study looks at three categories of constraints--landscape, culture and technology, and examines how demographic behaviour is formed by and acted upon by them. Demographic behaviour is part of a repertoire of social and technical mechanisms utilized by the population to adjust to the limiting conditions of their domain. When there is a change in the set of constraints a population must cope with, there will also be a modification of demographic behaviour. Flexible demographic strategies shape family formation and organize kinship systems in order to compete for labour and land resources.

The particular domain chosen for this study is the Liangshan Yi Nationality Autonomous Prefecture, the People's Republic of China. In their competition for labour and territory the Nuosu (Yi) of Liangshan traditionally used caste defined socio-economic positions and a shifting network of clan alliances to maintain their autonomy. However, Land reform, communization and the household responsibility system has brought about change in land ownership and labour resources which have resulted in the evolving semi-independence of the household and a widening of the marriage circle. This has created a broader range of options through greater movement and mobility. It is postulated that the above socio-political restructuring accounts for the rapid population growth of the Nuosu since their incorporation into the Chinese nation.
