  • A Case Study of Sikonge District, Tabora Region, Tanzania
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by International Institute for Science, Technology and Education (IISTE): E-Journals Journal of Environment and Earth Science www.iiste.org ISSN 2224-3216 (Paper) ISSN 2225-0948 (Online) Vol. 3, No. 10 , 2013 Population Dynamics and the Contraction of the Miombo Woodland Ecozone: A Case Study of Sikonge District, Tabora Region, Tanzania George F. Masanja, PhD Department of Geography, St. Augustine University of Tanzania, Tanzania P.O. Box 307 MWANZA, TANZANIA E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT A study was conducted in a cereal-tobacco farming system in Sikonge District, Tabora Region. The objective of the study was to determine the implications of forest resource demand by the ever growing population. A social survey was conducted in the period 2011-2012. Randomized stratified multistage sampling using proportionate population sizes was employed to select 365 households and six institutions in the study area. Assessment of vegetation cover change was based on time-series satellite images and repeated aerial photographs. Data processing and analysis was accomplished by the use of ERDAS Imagine Version 8.7 and Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). The results revealed that depletion of closed woodland between 1984 and 2012 was 46.7 hectares per year on average. Likewise, cultivated land increased by an average of 265 (0.8%) hectares annually within this time period. The expansion of cultivated land was at the expense of the Miombo woodlands fueled by internal and external socio-economic drivers led by population growth, agricultural expansion, domestic fuel wood and charcoal and increased demand for tobacco curing.

  • INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY in TABORA, WESTERN TANZANIA TOURISM DEVELOPMENT Executive Summary Tanzania Has Many Extraordinary Tourist Attractions
    REGIONAL ADMINISTRATION AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT TABORA MUNICIPAL COUNCIL TABORA REGION MUNICIPAL DIRECTORS’ OFFICE TEL: 026 2604315/6088 P. O. BOX 174 FAX: 026 -2604835 TABORA - TANZANIA INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY IN TABORA, WESTERN TANZANIA TOURISM DEVELOPMENT Executive summary Tanzania has many extraordinary tourist attractions. More than 25 per cent of Tanzania’s land area is covered with game reserves, national parks and other protected areas. There are 13 National parks, 29 game reserves, 40 controlled conservation areas and marine parks. Tanzania is also home to the famous Roof of Africa – Mount Kilimanjaro. On 6th of January 2012 The New York Times awarded Tanzania 7th position among 45 top destinations to visit in the year 2012. With the exception of the "Northern Circuit of Tanzania", most parks and reserves remain relatively under-utilized especially in Western part of Tanzania which includes Tabora, and the Government of Tanzania is actively seeking potential investors, both domestic and foreign, to promote game reserves and historical sites. In the vicinity of Tabora there are the Ugalla and Kigozi game reserves, which are home to a range of animals such as water buck, lion, Topi, impala, elephants, Warthog, giraffe, sable antelope, hippo and buffalo and have a great potential for nature loving tourists. The Tabora region also has a number of other tourist attractions that would appeal to a wide range of appetites. There are historical sites such as Dr. Livingstone´s house, now a museum near Tabora that contains his memorabilia including letters, maps, pictures and a diary. It also displays information about other early missionaries and explorers and has the potential to become a strong cultural tourism attraction in East Africa.

  • Population, Incipient Desertification and Prediction of Household Agroforestry Uptake in Tabora Region, Tanzania
    International Journal of Scientific and Research Publications, Volume 7, Issue 8, August 2017 169 ISSN 2250-3153 Population, Incipient Desertification and Prediction of Household Agroforestry Uptake in Tabora Region, Tanzania George Felix Masanja Department of Geography, St. Augustine University of Tanzania, Box 307, Mwanza, Tanzania Abstract- Environmental conservation in the world presents a daunting task due to population increase. In Tanzania, environmental degradation has occurred at an alarming rate in specific areas including Tabora. The continued burgeoning of the human population has resulted in changes in land use, increasing demand for resources and excision of forests. This study employed the theory of planned behaviour to predict on-farm tree planting behaviour of farmers. A sample size of 288 farmers drawn from Nzega and Sikonge districts in Tabora region was interviewed to measure standard theory of planned behaviour constructs. The data and hypotheses were examined using structural equation modeling performed in partial least squares algorithms. Results from the maximum likelihood estimation showed that attitudes, subjective norms and perceived behavioural controls were significantly and positively associated with stronger intention and related to farmers’ behaviours in farming decisions. Farmers saw hindrance in tree planting operations being a result of cultural beliefs which yielded negative impacts. However, these were outweighed by perceptions of positive impacts. The drivers of these constructs can be harnessed by policy makers by directing farmers’ intentions and behaviours toward conserving and sustaining fragile eco-environmentally areas against a threatening population growth in the region through agroforestry uptake programs. Index Terms- Population growth, Deforestation, Tree planting, Gender, Theory of planned behaviour.

  • Comparative Economic Analysis of Beekeeping Using Traditional and Improved Beehives in the Miombo Woodlands of Tabora and Katavi Regions, Tanzania
    Comparative Economic Analysis of Beekeeping Using Traditional and Improved Beehives in the Miombo Woodlands of Tabora and Katavi Regions, Tanzania N. M. Kuboja1 , A. C. Isinika2 and F. T. M. Kilima3 1Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries, Tumbi Agricultural Research Institute, Tabora, Tanzania 2Sokoine University of Agriculture, Institute of Continuing Education (ICE), Morogoro, Tanzania 3Sokoine University of Agriculture, School of Agricultural Economics and Agribusiness Studies, Morogoro, Tanzania Abstract: The study was carried out in Tabora and Katavi regions in the miombo woodlands of Tanzania. The overall objective of the study was to undertake a comparative economic analysis of beekeeping using improved or traditional beehives. Data were collected from 198 beekeepers that were randomly selected from a sampling frame of 237 beekeepers using a structured questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, analysis of variance (ANOVA) along with budgetary analysis and profitability ratios. The findings revealed that improved beehives were more productive than traditional beehives, although both beekeeping systems were profitable ventures. However, beekeepers who used traditional beehives realized higher net farm incomes than those who used improved beehives. Return on investment was estimated to be 3.7% per shilling for beekeepers using traditional beehives against 1.3, 0.3 and 0.8% for those using Tanzania Top Bar, Box and Longstroth (improved beehives), respectively. The lower gains associated with improved beehives that are more productive than traditional ones, are most likely to be a result of failures within the market system to value and reward quality. Earnings for adopters of these productivity enhancing beehives could increase if new mechanisms that allow fair pricing of high-quality honey extracted from such beehives are instituted in local markets.
