 หัวเรื่อง:ไม่มีชื่อไทย (ชื่ออังกฤษ : Natural Resource Conservation Practices of Resettlers in the New Resettlement Areas of Amhara Region, Ethiopia) ผู้เขียน: Teshome Walle,  ดร.สาวิตรี รังสิภัทร์, รองศาสตราจารย์ , ดร.วันชัย จันทร์ประเสริฐ, รองศาสตราจารย์ สื่อสิ่งพิมพ์:pdf AbstractThe objectives of this research were to: 1) assess the land-use changes and soil fertility management activities of resettlers in the new resettlement areas of Metema and Quara Woredas (Districts), 2) compare average working days spent by resettlers on private and communal land conservation practices before and after the resettlement, and 3) compare resettlers? level of participation in natural forest protection and tree planting in the two Woredas. The study was conducted in six resettlement Kebeles (villages) of Metema and Quara Woredas of Amhara region, Ethiopia. An interview schedule was employed to collect data from 337 resettlers, selected by simple random sampling technique. Data were analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistics to test hypotheses at the .05 significant level. The findings revealed that above 76 percent of sampled resettlers in Metema and above 65 percent in Quara never practiced any type of soil fertility management practices in the new resettlement areas. Resettlers? total level of participation in natural forest protection and tree planting was found to be at low level in both of the Woredas. Hypotheses testing using paired t-test revealed that average number of working days spent on private and communal land conservation before the resettlement were significantly higher than after the resettlement at p < .001. On the other hand, hypotheses testing using independent t-test revealed that total level of participation in natural forest protection and tree planting between the two Woredas did not show significant difference except for seedling preparation at p < .01. In general, natural resource degradation in the resettlement areas was moving at an alarming rate, while conservation practices were found at the low level. Hence, the local government should strive to raise the awareness of resettlers towards natural resource conservation activities; and the appropriate authorities need to intervene to integrate urgently needed development and conservation measures. |

หัวเรื่อง:ไม่มีชื่อไทย (ชื่ออังกฤษ : Comparison Between Economic Changes and Satisfaction on Social Services of Resettlers under Resettlement Program in Amhara Region, Ethiopia) ผู้เขียน:Teshome Walle, ดร.สาวิตรี รังสิภัทร์, รองศาสตราจารย์, ดร.วันชัย จันทร์ประเสริฐ, รองศาสตราจารย์ สื่อสิ่งพิมพ์:pdf AbstractThe objectives of this research were to: 1) study the demographic characteristics of resettlers, 2) compare the economic changes of resettlers before and after the resettlement program, and 3) compare the level of satisfaction of resettlers on the accessibility of social services before and after the resettlement program. The study was conducted in six resettlement kebeles (villages) of Metema and Quara woredas (Districts) of Amhara region, Ethiopia. Totally 337 resettlers were sampled from a population of 2,696 people. Data were collected by using interview schedule and were analyzed by using frequency, percentages and arithmetic mean. Paired sample t-test was employed to test hypotheses at the .05 significant level. The findings revealed that total annual household income of the resettlers in both of the woredas were doubled after the resettlement. Above 50 percent of resettlers in both of the woredas had earned an annual total income of above 7,000 Birr after resettlement, whereas before resettlement this figure was below 16 percent in Metema and 8 in Quara. The study also indicated that the total level of satisfaction of sampled resettlers towards the accessibility of twelve social services after resettlement were at moderate level in Metema and low level in Quara. Hypotheses testing using paired sample t-test revealed that average annual on-farm and total income of resettlers after resettlement were significantly different from before resettlement. Similarly, total level of satisfaction of resettlers towards accessibility of social services after resettlement was significantly different than before. Despite several positive outcomes, there were also problems that need to be addressed. Absence of sufficient and clean water, all weather road and communication facilities were among others to be mentioned. Hence, government intervention is indispensable to solve these problems. |
