    Ethnobiology of Georgia

    SHOTA TUSTAVELI ZAAL KIKVIDZE NATIONAL SCIENCE FUNDATION ILIA STATE UNIVERSITY PRESS ETHNOBIOLOGY OF GEORGIA ISBN 978-9941-18-350-8 Tbilisi 2020 Ethnobiology of Georgia 2020 Zaal Kikvidze Preface My full-time dedication to ethnobiology started in 2012, since when it has never failed to fascinate me. Ethnobiology is a relatively young science with many blank areas still in its landscape, which is, perhaps, good motivation to write a synthetic text aimed at bridging the existing gaps. At this stage, however, an exhaustive representation of materials relevant to the ethnobiology of Georgia would be an insurmountable task for one author. My goal, rather, is to provide students and researchers with an introduction to my country’s ethnobiology. This book, therefore, is about the key traditions that have developed over a long history of interactions between humans and nature in Georgia, as documented by modern ethnobiologists. Acknowledgements: I am grateful to my colleagues – Rainer Bussmann, Narel Paniagua Zambrana, David Kikodze and Shalva Sikharulidze for the exciting and fruitful discussions about ethnobiology, and their encouragement for pushing forth this project. Rainer Bussmann read the early draft of this text and I am grateful for his valuable comments. Special thanks are due to Jana Ekhvaia, for her crucial contribution as project coordinator and I greatly appreciate the constant support from the staff and administration of Ilia State University. Finally, I am indebted to my fairy wordmother, Kate Hughes whose help was indispensable at the later stages of preparation of this manuscript. 2 Table of contents Preface.......................................................................................................................................................... 2 Chapter 1.

  • Results of Population Census

    Results of Population Census

    NATIONAL STATISTICS OFFICE OF GEORGIA (GEOSTAT) 28.04.2016 2014 General Population Census Main Results General Information The General Population Census of Georgia has been conducted during November 5-19, 2014. The Census reference date (the moment of enumerating the individual) defined as 12 a.m. of November 5, (Thus, data on children born and persons deceased after the reference date was not collected). For its part, selection of November 5-19 period for the Census was conditioned by relatively lower mobility of the population during this period, as studies in schools and universities were under way. Wednesday – the middle day of the week – was selected as the reference date also for the reason of lower mobility. Census duration (15 days) was determined by the fact that population should be able to recall where they were on the census reference date (at midnight of November 5). Taking into account that in November visiting households in some mountainous areas could become problematic due to a possible deterioration in weather conditions, the Population Census was conducted in September 2014 in the municipalities of Mestia and Kazbegi well as in the mountainous areas of the municipalities of Dusheti and Akhmeta. The Census covered 82% (57 000 square kilometers) of the whole area of the country. The Census could not be carried out in the occupied territories, in particular, in the Autonomous Republic of Abkhazia and South Ossetia (total area of 13000 square kilometers). The Census was conducted in 79 % of the settlements (urban, community, rural) of the country, and covered 71 self-governed units and 3726 settlements.

Vol. 4, No. 5-1, 2015, pp. 19-23. doi: 10.11648/j.earth.s.2015040501.14 Abstract: Geographical names give us lots of noteworthy information about the historical, geographical, political, economic, religious, cultural, etc. picture of a denotation. Due to this the onomastic data are the valuable sources to study the history, language, dialectology, geography, geology, archeology and ethnography of a country. In Georgia one hardly find a small place without a name. Towns, hamlets, villages, groves, gardens, vineyards, arable fields, hills, mountains, water, grassland, former settlements and sometimes trees, rocks and large rocks are given names. Researchers interested in geographical names accept two basic ways of origin of toponyms: 1. either via the toponimization of appellatives without derivation (which is called semantic word-formation: changing of a lexeme’s status, while the form remains unchangeable) or derivation: 2.transonimization of proper names: transition from one onymic class to another as well as transtoponimization, transhydronimization, and a transoikonymization, etc.
