Changing the Human Use Area

V.1. Assessment
It is important to consider both elephant habitat and human use areas at the landscape scale. Equally important is to consider the type of interface exists or is possible in the area experiencing HEC. This includes assessing the following 1.      What kind of land use pattern occurs in the area?

2.      What type of interface exists or is possible?

3.      Whether removal of the interface is possible?

4.      Socio-economic factors

5.      Local attitudes and perspectives

V.3.Main types of interface
1.      Elephant-permanent human use interface

2.      Elephant –human shared use interface

3.      Elephant-human in dynamic or diffused interface (humans and elephants move about randomly without no set pattern)

V.4.Two main types of interface removal
1.      Removal of people

2.      Removal of elephants
