Manuscript Info Abstract ……………………. ……………………………………………………………… Manuscript History This paper attempts to assess the contribution of forest resources to rural livelihoods in Bench Maji zone. To conduct this research both Received: 02 April 2018 qualitative and quantitative information was collected from four Final Accepted: 04 May 2018 woredas in Bench Maji zone through questionnaire, interview and Published: June 2018 focus group discussion from 200 rural households. Keywords:- The finding of this study shows that the impacts of forest resources to Livelihood, Rural household, Forest rural livelihood are diverse in terms of livelihood means. Forest income Resource. is the second largest source of livelihood diversification next to agriculture. In addition, rural households in the study area use trade, rent of asset, and other source of livelihood strategies. The relationship between socio-economic characters of the respondents with forest resources shows distance, sex, family size, education level and access to agricultural land are significant determinant of forest resource use. As far as natural forest resources have an important contribution in the rural livelihood means, issues on forest resource and rural livelihood should not be ignored in policy decisions and other interventions. Consequently, steps to efficiently use forest resources should be undertaken by different bodies as one of the ways of improving rural households livelihood means.

  • Spatiotemporal and Hotspot Detection of U5-Children Diarrhea In
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Spatiotemporal and hotspot detection of U5‑children diarrhea in resource‑limited areas of Ethiopia Bezuayehu Alemayehu1*, Birhanu Teshome Ayele2, Claudio Valsangiacomo3 & Argaw Ambelu1 Under‑fve children (U5‑children) diarrhea is a signifcant public health threat, where the World Health Organisation (WHO) reported it as the second leading cause of children’s death worldwide. Nearly 1.7 billion cases occur annually with varied temporal and spatial factors. Identifcation of the spatiotemporal pattern and hotspot areas of U5‑children diarrhea can assist targeted intervention and provide an early warning for more efective response measures. This study aimed at examining spatiotemporal variability along with the detection of hotspot areas for U5‑children diarrhea in the Bench Maji Zone of southwestern Ethiopia, where resources are limited and cultural heterogeneity is highest. Retrospective longitudinal data of ten years of diarrhea records from January 2008 to December 2017 were used to identify hotspot areas. The incidence rate per 1,000 per year among children was calculated along with seasonal patterns of cases. The spatiotemporal analysis was made using SaTScan version 9.4, while spatial autocorrelations and hotspot identifcation were generated using ArcGIS 10.5 software. A total of 90,716 U5‑children diarrhea cases were reported with an annual incidence rate of 36.1 per 1,000 U5‑children, indicating a relative risk (RR) of 1.6 and a log‑likelihood ratio (LLR) of 1,347.32 (p < 0.001). The highest incidence of diarrhea illness was recorded during the dry season and showed incidence rate increment from October to February.
