To address the site-specific environmental and social issues of earthquake housing reconstruction projects. To support in mitigation measures ofthe environmental and social issues . To aware community about the importance of Environment and social harmonization. 3. Site Description The sub-project is located at Goljung Village Ward No 04 of Aamachodimo Rural Municipality, west ofthe Rasuwa district. The climate ofthe Rasuwa district varies from sub tropical to temperate and alpine, but most ofthe area has a temperate and alpine type ofclimate. The average annual rainfall is 994.3 mm and occurs mainly duritrg June, July and august. The average temperature in Dhunche 22.6 degree centigrade and minimum temperature varies I 1.5 degree centigrade. The minimum temperature in Dhunche goes down to 0 degree centigrade and the maximum up to 25 degree .According to Census' 2011 the population of Ward No.05 of the rural municipality is 1938. The area is dominated by Tamang ethnic communities whereas presence of Dalit is also significant in this ward. In Ward No. 04 of Kalika Rural Municipality, the total housing reconstructron beneficiaries are 283 ofwhich 264,214 and 214 have aheady received lst Tranche, 2nd Tranche and 3rd Tranche respectively as of20l9/03/25 EHRP-MIS data. 4. Environmental and Social Issues The site verilication carried out on 2075108119 along with district engineer, socral development and environment specialist, the households are facing the problem ofwater supply. The topography of the area is hilly and water source is located at high hill and already the supply system exits in this water supply scheme. The water source is near to the village and water supply system is inadequate for the community. The dependency of the community in this water system is higher to that of its efficiency The intake of the water supply scheme had been damaged by the reconshuction activity since it need to maintain .The villagers are forced to use the water from the existing system in irregular pattem ofdistribution. The water system includes following possible problem: 0 .t*\ 'sd@d D Decrease in agricultural production, tr Loss of time in water collection, u Delayed in reconstruction B Loss in livestock farming 5.

  • Nepal Earthquake District Profile - Rasuwa OSOCC Assessment Cell 10.05.2015
    Nepal Earthquake District Profile - Rasuwa OSOCC Assessment Cell 10.05.2015 This report is produced by the OSOCC Assessment Cell based on secondary data from multiple sources, including the Government of Nepal, UNDAC, United Nations Agencies, non-governmental organisation and media sources. I. Situation Overview Rasuwa is one of the worst affected districts by the 25 April earthquake. As of 8 May, 430 people have been reported killed and 753 injured (MoFA 08/05/2015). Most of those that died in the district were killed in an avalanche that buried inhabtants of Langtang village including tourists in the guesthouses. Some remote areas are yet to be reached or accounted for. More than 63% of the district’s territory is at an elevation of more than 3000 meters. Of the remaining territory, most parts are located at an elevation between 1000 – 3000 meters (University of Copenhagen 2005) and parts of Rasuwa were without road access even before the earthquake, further challenging the relief effort. In the first few days after the earthquake very little information was available from Rasuwa. Field reports have gradually come in that help understand thesituation. Initial estimates based on Government data of damaged buildings in the affected districts, suggests that 82% of the population of Rasuwa have been affected by the earthquake. According to Government data, 8,000 buildings were destroyed in the earthquake. This figure is however unconfirmed and represents a preliminary estimate based on the combination of reports from a range of sources providing information on needs at the VDC level1(Please see map below for an illustration of aggregated number of reported people in need).

  • Landslide Susceptibility in Rasuwa District of Central Nepal After the 2015 Gorkha Earthquake
    Journal of Nepal Geological Society, 2019, vol. 59, pp. 79–88 DOI: https://doi.org/103126/jngs.v59i0.24992 Landslide susceptibility in Rasuwa District of central Nepal after the 2015 Gorkha Earthquake *Badal Pokharel1,2 and Prem Bahadur Thapa1 1Department of Geology, Tri-Chandra Multiple Campus, Tribhuvan University, Kathmandu, Nepal 2Himalayan Risk Research Institute, Bhaktapur, Nepal *Corresponding author: [email protected] ABSTRACT The 2015 Gorkha Earthquake (7.8 Mw) triggered several landslides in central Nepal with major damages in 14 districts. Among them, the Rasuwa district at the north of Kathmandu Valley faced severe landslides due to rugged topography, complex geology and improper landuse development. The landslides had blocked the Pasang Lhamu Highway and dammed the Trishuli River at many places. A total of 1416 landslide locations were detected in the district from high resolution satellite images in Google Earth. In this study, landslide susceptibility was modeled in the Rasuwa District by considering slope, aspect, elevation, geology, peak ground acceleration (PGA), landuse, drainage proximity and thrust proximity as the predictive factors for landslide occurrences. The landslide inventory was split into 70% and 30% portions as the training dataset and testing dataset respectively. The results from modified frequency ratio (FR) suggest that effect of geology with prediction rate 2.52 is the highest among all factors and is followed by elevation (2.38) and drainage proximity (2.12). The results were verified using area under curve (AUC) and the prediction rate was found to be 79.14%. The computed landslide susceptibility map is helpful for landuse planning and landslide risk reduction measure in the Rasuwa District.

  • Changing Rural Livelihood Strategies in the Community of Goljung, Rasuwa
    The Third Pole: Journal of Geography Vol. 17: 20-36, 2017 Department of Geography Education, Central Department of Education, T.U., Kathmandu, Nepal CHANGING RURAL LIVELIHOOD STRATEGIES IN THE COMMUNITY OF GOLJUNG, RASUWA Dhyanendra Bahadur Rai1 Abstract Different patterns of livelihood are found in different places within same community or different communities over the generation. Therefore livelihood strategy is a changing process of an individual or a household level of economic and social activities in order to fulfill daily livelihood needs. This paper seeks to explore the changing rural livelihood strategies of a community in mountain region of Nepal. The study is mainly based on primary data collected from field survey, focus group discussion (FGD) and key informant interview (KII). Questionnaire survey was conducted within 52 households by applying random sampling method. Likewise five KII and three FGDs were conducted and participants belonged to different field i.e. ward chairperson, ward women member, businessmen, wage labor, farmer and social worker. The finding indicates that livelihood strategies are changing rapidly in the rural areas. Similarly, multiple sources of income of a household have resulted into secured livelihood system in Goljung. Despite the fact that the agriculture with livestock farming was an important traditional source of livelihood in the past, the roles of non-agricultural sectors have become significant for livelihood sustaining in the rural community in Goljung, Rasuwa in the present days. After a decade, development of the hydro-electricity projects and trade route between Nepal and China has played the catalyst role for changing rural livelihoods of local people in this village.
