| Abstract: | Hervad-Jørgensen, Kirsten: Carrying Capacity on Tikopia Island. Geografisk tidsskrift 76: 88–95. København, juni 1, 1977. On the basis of two aerial photographs of the island of Tikopia, information on population, standard energy consumption, knowledge of the food pattern, the agricultural system and yields/ha it has been attempted to estimate the areas necessary for food production. To verify the assessed values, they have been put into various formulas for estimation of carrying capacity. The consistency of the values turns out very well and the used methodology might be a possible way to estimate carrying capacity with limited means. |
