Effectiveness of Agriculture forestry and environment committee in adoption of Sustainable Soil Management Practices ( SSMP) technology in Ramechhap and Dolakha , Nepal
Bu araştırma, AFEC'in SSMP teknolojisinin benimsenmesindeki rolünü analiz etmek için Nepal'in Ramechap ve Dolakha ilçelerinde gerçekleştirildi. Toplam 40 örnek, 4 VDC'den, yani Sindrawati'den ve Chisapani Namdu, Puranogaun'dan rasgele toplanmıştır. 2 VDC'deki bu 4 VDC'nin içinden AFEC kuruldu. Hem nitel hem de niceliksel bilgi yarı yapılandırılmış anket kullanılarak hanehalkı araştırması, önemli bilgilendirici görüşme ve odak grup tartışması ile toplanmıştır. Çalışmadan, katılımcı planlama, kaynak seferberliği ve tarım hizmeti sunumunda bu komitelerin etkinliğinin son derece önemli olduğu ortaya çıkmıştır. Çiftçilerin yerel düzey planlamasına katılımı AFEC'li VDC'de (% 73,3) AFEC'siz VDC'lere (% 43,3) göre anlamlı derecede yüksektir. AFEC'li çiftçiler, AFEC'siz çiftçilere kıyasla 2.84 endeks değeri ile teknik servis almaya başlamıştır. Ortalama benimseme düzeyi AFEC'li VDC'lerde (yüzde 43.69 HH), AFEC olmayan VDC'ye (yüzde 11.78) göre anlamlı derecede yüksektir. Logit regresyon modeline göre HH geliştirme eğitimi ve AFEC varlığı SSMP teknolojisinin benimsenmesinin belirlenmesinde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bulunmuştur.

Effectiveness of Agriculture forestry and environment committee in adoption of Sustainable Soil Management Practices ( SSMP) technology in Ramechhap and Dolakha , Nepal
Abstract This research was conducted in Ramechap and Dolakha district of Nepal to analyze the role of AFEC in SSMP technology adoption. A total of 120 samples were collected randomly from 4 VDCs i.e Sindrawati, and Chisapani Namdu, Puranogaun. Out of these 4 VDC in 2 VDC, AFEC was formed. Both qualitative and quantitative information were collected using semi-structured questionnaire by house hold survey, key informant interview and focus group discussion. From the study it was revealed that effectiveness of these committees in participatory planning, resource mobilization and agriculture service provision was highly significant. Participation of farmers in local level planning was significantly higher in VDC with AFEC (73.3 percent) than in VDCs without AFEC (43.3 percent). Farmers with AFEC were getting technical service easily with the index value of 2.84 as compared to farmers without AFEC. The mean level of adoption was significantly higher in VDCs with AFEC (43.69 percent HH) than in VDC without AFEC (11.78 percent HH). According to Logit regression model, training education of HH head and presence of AFEC were found to be statistically significant in determining the adoption of SSMP technology.
