Abstract

ABSTRACT Little is known about the micro-scale spatial patterns of household water insecurity and their implications for community water interventions. This cross-sectional study analyses the location data of 250 households surveyed in Arua, Uganda, in August–September 2017 to evaluate correlates and geospatial clustering of household water insecurity, that is, geographical patterns in how water insecurity is experienced. The spatial cluster analysis identified clusters or outliers in every community, though with different spatial patterns. Household water insecurity was positively associated with food insecurity, round-trip fetching time, and water-related conflict within households and with neighbours. The observed spatial heterogeneity provides a new view of how household water insecurity experiences may vary in space and time, and can help practitioners understand the heterogeneity of impact that is often observed in water interventions.

乌干达农村家庭用水不安全的空间异质性:对发展的影响

人们对家庭用水不安全的微观空间格局及其对社区水干预的影响知之甚少。本横断面研究分析了2017年8月至9月在乌干达阿鲁阿接受调查的250户家庭的位置数据，以评估家庭水不安全的相关性和地理空间聚类，即如何经历水不安全的地理模式。空间聚类分析表明，每个群落都存在聚类或异常值，但空间格局不同。家庭用水不安全与粮食不安全、往返取水时间以及家庭内部和与邻居的水相关冲突呈正相关。观察到的空间异质性为家庭水不安全经历在空间和时间上的变化提供了新的视角，并可以帮助从业者理解在水干预措施中经常观察到的影响的异质性。
