  • Introduction
    CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background The phenomenon of climate change is generally understood as a long term significant change in the average weather patterns of the region or the earth as a whole. It mainly involves changes in the variability or average state of the temperature, precipitation and wind patterns over durations ranging from decades to millions of years. UNFCCC defines it as 'a change of climate which is attributed directly or indirectly to human activity that alters the composition of the global atmosphere'. Today the world is experiencing climate change and there is the scientific consensus that the increase in the Green House Gas concentrations in the atmosphere has caused to global climate change. Nepal's average temperature is rising at the - C per annum between 1977 and 1994 with a higher rate in mountain century. In addition to increase in extreme temperature, weather has been observed changing in recent years. Because of the extreme temperature, there has been change in weather conditions. Number of monsoon days has been shortening, with early onset and late withdrawal, and the intensity of monsoon rain has shown increasing trend (Gurung and Bhandari 2009). Livelihood of third world's people has been changing and threatening from climate change. The term climate change is often used interchangeably with the term global warming but according to the National Academy of Sciences the phrase 'climate change' is growing in preferred use to 'global warming' because it helps to convey meaning of other terms related to climate change in addition to rising temperatures. Climate change refers to any significant change in measures of climate (such as temperature, precipitation or wind) lasting for an extended period, decade or longer.

  • Spatial Variation of Biomass Energy Supply and Demand in Rural Nepal
    Zentrum für Entwicklungsforschung (ZEF) _____________________________________________________________ Spatial variation of biomass energy supply and demand in rural Nepal Dissertation zur Erlangung des Grades Doktor der Agrarwissenschaften (Dr. agr.) der Landwirtschaftlichen Fakultät der Rheinischen Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn von Narayan Prasad Adhikari aus Kathmandu, Nepal Bonn 2017 Gedruckt mit Unterstützung des Deutschen Akademischen Austauschdienstes (DAAD) Referent: Prof. Dr. Christian Borgemeister Korreferent: Prof. Dr. Peter Heck Tag der mündlichen Prüfung: 20.12.2016 Angefertigt mit Genehmigung der Landwirtschaftlichen Fakultät der Universität Bonn ABSTRACT In Nepal, the share of biomass in total energy consumption is about 88 % and of biomass for cooking and heating about 90 % in 76 % of the households. Fuelwood, crop residues and dung are the three main biomass types. The lack of an integrated biomass inventory is hindering the formulation of effective policies and programs for sustainable resource management. This study evaluates the spatial variation of biomass supply and demand for cooking and heating in Nepalese rural households in three districts representing the country’s main topographic regions lowland, hills, and mountains. The analysis is based on information from household survey, field studies, laboratory analyses, national statistics and application of GIS. Only those households adopting at least one type of biomass for cooking and heating are considered. The household survey was conducted in 240 households to evaluate biomass consumption, whereas the use of crop residues and dung is assessed in field studies in 27 households for the three seasons in 2013/14. By considering the five main staple crops (paddy, wheat, corn, millet and barley), the residues were evaluated, while cattle and buffalo were taken as a basis to assess the dung.

According to the Institution Registration Act 2034, COPPADES was registered as an NGO in Lamjung District, Nepal, as a non-profit, non-political, non-religious organization working for the development of communities in the country. COPPADES works with its intention to become an active organization committedly working for the realization of equitable and prosperous society for all humanities. So it works for the empowerment of the people to contribute to sustainable development the communities they live in through organizational activities, activities on economic self-reliance, health, environment conservation, disaster risk reduction, expansion of ICTs and assurance of good governance. COPPADES worked across the country in about 43 districts of Nepal in bridging the digital divide until the year 2007 through Basic Computer and ICT (BCICT) Project. Once the schools began to implement the computer as integral part of their curriculum COPPADES phased out the project. Since then COPPADES has been more and more involved in environment, livelihood and tourism projects with the partnership of Lutheran World Relief (LWR), WWF/Hariyo Ban Projects and others. After the massive earthquake of April 2015, COPPADES has been working on helping the devastated communities to recover from the disaster.

Therefore, it has concerned with various parts of society such as sanitation, water supply, poverty, traditional practice, folk music, tourism etc as multidisciplinary areas. In fact, anthropology and tourism are co-evolutionary process in the path of their developments because they help each other in many ways. Traditionally, tourism and tourist are major anthropological sources of information to analyse the situation of then and present society and culture. Similarly, tourist can enjoy visiting any places by learning anthropological knowledge and findings. Methodologically, this is based on field observation, interview and other secondary sources to analyse the scenario. After the introduction of democracy in Nepal, she has been opened to outsiders. As a result, Sir Edmund Hillary as foreigner visited Nepal. Hillary with Tenzing Norgy Sherpa successfully climbed the Mount Everest in 29 May, 1953 at the first time. Then the glorious name of Nepal has become famous in the world. The tourism industries have been initiated from Thamel, Solukhumbo, Pokhara and then gradually extended in other parts of the country.

  • A Sociolinguistic Study of Gurung in Nepal
    DigitalResources Electronic Survey Report 2019-010 A Sociolinguistic Study of Gurung in Nepal Janel Swenson A Sociolinguistic Study of Gurung in Nepal Janel Swenson SIL International® 2019 Electronic Survey Report 2019-010, October 2019 © 2019 SIL International® All rights reserved. Data and materials collected by researchers in an era before documentation of permission was standardized may be included in this publication. SIL makes diligent efforts to identify and acknowledge sources and to obtain appropriate permissions wherever possible, acting in good faith and on the best information available at the time of publication. Abstract This report presents the results of sociolinguistic research conducted among Gurung language communities in the Western Development Region of Nepal. Language and dialect variation, ethnolinguistic identity, and language vitality were topics studied to inform future language-based development activities. The data suggests Gurung is one language with a cohesive ethnic and linguistic identity, intelligibility of a central variety of Gurung is adequate in most regions, and positive attitudes are apparent towards all varieties of Gurung. Further, results indicate Gurung language vitality is declining, as many of the childbearing generation are not passing on the language to their children.
