This study analyzes the factors influencing the adoption of various adaptation practices by a highly marginalized indigenous community in the remote rural Mid-Hills of Nepal. The analysis is based on a household survey conducted among 221 Chepang households selected randomly. A multivariate probit model was used to analyze five categories of adaptation choices against a set of socio-economic, institutional, infrastructural, and perception variables. Perception of rainfall changes, size of landholding, status of land tenure, distance to motor road, access to productive credit, information, extension services, and skill development trainings are all influential to enable households to deviate away from traditional coping strategies and adopt suitable practices to adapt to climate vagaries. Policies and development activities should be geared to address these determinants in order to facilitate adaptation. 相似文献

Eco-sanitation and its benefits: an experimental demonstration program to raise awareness in central Nepal 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

This study focuses on awareness and an experimental demonstration about the use of human urine and wood ash as a fertilizer.
This study was conducted in Chanauta, central Nepal, from November 2009 to February 2010. The villagers (N = 27) were asked about their awareness of eco-sanitation and fertilizer value of urine and ash. All the participants agreed
that the use of urine and ash was a good idea. In the experimental study, the fertilizer value of urine+ash was compared with
animal manure and no-fertilizer in the cultivation of radish, potato, broadleaf mustard, cauliflower, and cabbage. Different
plants cultivated plots received 54–81 kgN/ha with urine+ash or manure fertilizer. The urine+ash fertilizer produced significantly
(p < 0.05) higher broadleaf mustard biomass than obtained from animal manure and without fertilization. Urine+ash-fertilized
plots growing radish, potato, cauliflower, and cabbage produced similar or slightly higher yields biomass compared to those
achieved with manure fertilization. This might be because of high P, K as well as greater availability of N in applied urine
compared to manure. It is concluded that urine+ash fertilizer can be used instead of animal manure; in this study, a dose
of 4 L of urine was equal to 1 kg of dry cattle manure and produced a similar or greater yield of vegetable biomass than manure
fertilization. To be able to generalize this conclusion, it is important to conduct these kinds of experiments with different
seasonal crops and in other parts of the world. 相似文献
