Acknowledgments
This thesis could not have been accomplished successfully without the numerous people who supported me in different ways. First of all I want to thank Prof. Dr. Ulrike Müller-Böker, who enabled me to work on this topic and supported me in conducting the field trip to Pakistan in the frame of the NCCR North-South project (RP2). Specials thanks go to Prof. Dr. Heiko Paeth for supervising my thesis and answering numerous questions. I would like to appreciate the help of all the colleagues at the Department of Physical Geography, first of all Birgit Mannig, who patiently helped me out of the jungle of programming a thousand times. I would like to express a special thanks to Dr. Babar Shahbaz for welcoming me warmly in Islamabad and Faisalabad and the steady correspondence as well as the staff of the Sustainable Development Policy Institute (SDPI), especially Dr. Abid Suleri, Taliman and Nazim Ali for technical and logistical support, long discussions and an enjoyable time at the office. Thank you to Maaz Ismail, who helped me to understand the farmers of Kaghan valley and secured a pleasant stay within the Himalayan mountains. Kaiser Turi, thank you so much for attending me
