In Armenia the program aims at improving the precondition for sustainable and biodiversity-friendly management of pastures and grasslands, with particular attention to the energy security of the rural population. The big demand for fuelwood as heating fuel in households (HH) especially in rural areas has resulted in continuous forest degradation and deforestation in Armenia. Dung is often used as an alternative fuel, which instead could be used as a valuable organic fertilizer. The current heating practices and approaches related to the use of natural resources cause various problems and inconveniences for the families including women. This socio-economic survey was implemented in the frameworks of ECOserve to identify and analyze the energy behaviors of rural HHs with particular focus on the heating energy related to the use of natural resources, in particular fuelwood and dung. The special focus was on the gender aspects related to the survey topics. The survey covered the issues of heating fuel and devices, approaches, preferences, alternatives and related topics, the needs and priorities, socio-economic aspects, gender and health issues linked to the heating energy. The survey covered 5 pilot community clusters of ECOserve energy component in Lori, Shirak and Kotayk marzes.
