摘要

村落化将分散的家庭聚集在一个特定的区域,目的是通过提供社会和经济服务来改变生活条件。由于埃塞俄比亚西南部Mengeshi地区的森林因轮作而遭到破坏,本研究旨在评估村庄化对保护森林资源的影响。选定了三个地点,分别是Fejeji、Baya和Kumi。共选取119户家庭进行访谈。通过结构化和半结构化问卷收集信息。评估了6个农场和18个样地的木本植物。结果表明,对森林资源有积极贡献的最重要的变化发生在村庄化之后。在废弃农场共鉴定出13科34种木本植物。经济上重要的物种,包括非洲珊瑚。,高原紫菜(A.Chev.)在3个地点均记录到因过度利用而需要保护的白头海螺和深海螺(Hiern) F. White)。Fejeji的Simpson’s多样性指数为0.94,Baya为0.93,Kumi为0.88。村庄化带来了家庭生计来源的变化。以森林为基础的生计已转变为以农业为基础的生计,林产品的主要来源已从森林转向宅基地。配对t检验显示,林产品来源变化显著,对天然林资源的压力减小。总的来说,村庄化对保护该地区的森林资源具有积极作用。

Implications of Transforming Household Livelihoods through Villagization in Conserving Forest Resources in Southwest Ethiopia: A Case Study of Mengeshi District, Gambela Region
ABSTRACT Villagization brings scattered households together into a defined area with the aim of transforming living conditions through providing social and economic services. As the forest in Mengeshi district, southwest Ethiopia, has been destroyed through shifting cultivation, the study aims at assessing the effect of villagization on conserving forest resources. Three sites were selected, these being at Fejeji, Baya and Kumi. A total of 119 households were selected for interviews. Information was collected through structured and semi-structured questionnaires. Six farms and 18 plots were assessed for woody plants. The results show that the most important changes which positively contribute towards forest resources were perceived after villagization. A total of 34 woody species representing 13 families were identified in the abandoned farms. Economically important species including Cordia africana Lam., Pouteria altissima (A.Chev.) Baehni and Diospyros abyssinica (Hiern) F. White that need conservation due to overutilization were recorded across the three sites. The Simpson's diversity index was 0.94 at Fejeji, 0.93 at Baya and 0.88 at Kumi. Villagization has brought about changes in the sources of livelihoods of the households. The forest-based livelihoods have shifted to farming-based livelihoods and the main sources of forest products have shifted from forest to homestead. A paired t-test showed a significant change in the forest product sources implying less pressure on natural forest resources. In general villagization has positive effects towards conserving forest resources in the area.
