摘要

本研究调查了肯尼亚内罗毕县基布拉贫民窟烹饪燃料的选择和基本情况。这项研究的重点是影响家庭选择烹饪燃料的各种因素,以及那些可能使家庭在城市结构中的非正规住区地区不使用其他烹饪燃料的因素。本研究采用定量和定性相结合的研究方法,采用问卷调查和观察表的方式对目标家庭进行数据收集。研究结果表明,各种因素在决定家庭选择改进的烹饪燃料方面起着至关重要的作用,但最主要的因素是;做饭的时间,照明的便利性,价格的可承受性,燃料的可用性及其储存。该研究还认识到,缺乏足够的收入对人们采用或拒绝改进燃料的影响很小。本文认为,需要向贫民窟及其周边地区的家庭提供更多关于各种改良烹饪燃料的优缺点的数据和必要信息,以使居民做出更好的选择。这项研究的结果表明,对于不同家庭级别的燃料选择,这仍然是一个挑战,因为一些目标家庭没有任何充分的理由为什么他们使用他们喜欢的燃料类型,除了当他们目睹一个或多个可能被认为是危险的事件时,他们对与他们烹饪燃料选择相关的任何危险没有太多的了解。

Household Energy Choice for Cooking Fuel and Underlying Circumstances in Non-Formal Urban Settlements in Kenya
This study investigated the choice of cooking fuel and underlying circumstances in Kibra slums in Nairobi County, Kenya. The study focused on various factors that influence household choice of cooking fuel and those which could keep household away from using other cooking fuels in non-formal settlements areas in the urban set-up. The study was both quantitative and qualitative and used questionnaires and observation schedules to collect data among targeted households. The findings suggest that various factors play crucial roles in determining household choice of improved fuel for cooking but most dominant factors were; time spent to cook a meal, ease of lighting, affordability, availability of fuel and its storage. The study also realized that lack of sufficient income has little influence on people to adopt or reject improved fuels. The paper argues that more data and necessary information need to be provided on the merits and demerits of various types of improved cooking fuel to the household in the slums and the its environs to enable the residents make better choices. The findings of this study indicated that for fuel choice at various household levels, it is still a challenge as some of the households targeted did not have any good reason why they use their preferred fuel type and have no much knowledge on any dangers associated with their cooking fuel choices apart from when they witness an incidence or incidence which could be considered as dangerous.
