Conservation and the linpact of Relocation on the Tharus of Chitwan, Nepal Joanne McLean Charles Sturt University (Australia) Since the establishment of the first national park in the United States in the nineteenth century, indig­ enous peoples have been forced to move from regions designated as parks. Some of these people have been relocated to other areas by the government, more often they have been told to leave the area and are given no alternatives (Clay, 1985:2). Introduction (Guneratne 1994; Skar 1999). The Thant are often de­ scribed as one people. However, many subgroups exist: The relocation of indigenous people from national Kochjla Tharu in the eastern Tarai, Chitwaniya and Desauri parks has become standard practice in developing coun­ in the central Tarai, and Kathariya, Dangaura and Rana tries with little regard for the impacts it imposes on a Tharu in the western Tarai (Meyer & Deuel, 1999).

  • Performance Evaluation of Amaltari Bufferzone Community Homestay of Kawasoti Municipality in Nawalpur, Nepal
    IOSR Journal of Humanities And Social Science (IOSR-JHSS) Volume 25, Issue 7, Series 4 (July. 2020) 01-10 e-ISSN: 2279-0837, p-ISSN: 2279-0845. www.iosrjournals.org Performance Evaluation of Amaltari Bufferzone Community Homestay of Kawasoti Municipality in Nawalpur, Nepal Dr. Rajan Binayek Pasa Assistant Professor at Central Department of Rural Development Tribhuvan University, Kirtipur, Kathmandu ABSTRACT:This study analyzed performance evaluation of Amaltari Bufferzone Community Homestay (ABCH) of Kawasoti Municipality. This study followed post-positivist paradigm and survey methodology by applying evaluation indicators such as relevancy, efficiency, effectiveness, impact and sustainability. The research issueshave been theorized from social capital, ecotourism, asset based community developmentand sustainability approach on development.The survey result shows that relevancy got highest mean value 3.9922 with std. deviation 0.90575 which is followed by impact mean value 3.7871 with std. deviation 0.78242 and sustainability mean value 3.6325 with std. deviation 0.79901. It signifies that majority of respondents are relatively satisfied with relevancy, impact and sustainability related variables. More so, effectiveness secured least mean value 3.5145 with std. deviation 0.85903 that is followed by efficiency mean value 3.6052 with std. deviation 0.78690. The value its self is not disagreed views of the respondents but from evaluation perspectives it requires more attention. However, ABCH has performed effectively due to the strong social capital, conservation and mobilization fund, good networks of physical assets, as well as quality leaderships that has brought positive impacts in community and social level. Finally, this study has high implications in the sector of improving the lives of people residing around bufferzone through the tourism activities.

  • Tourism in Nepal: the Models for Assessing Performance of Amaltari Bufferzone Community Homestay in Nawalpur
    NJDRS 51 CDRD DOI: https://doi.org/10.3126/njdrs.v17i0.34952 Tourism in Nepal: The Models for Assessing Performance of Amaltari Bufferzone Community Homestay in Nawalpur Rajan Binayek Pasa, PhD Lecturer at Central Department of Rural Development Tribhuvan University, Kirtipur, Kathmandu Email for correspondence: [email protected] Abstract This study assesses performance of Amaltari Bufferzone Community Homestay that received best homestay award in 2017. For the survey study, the datacollected from 236 sample respondents were theorized based on social capital, ecotourism, asset-based community development and sustainability approach that are then supported by the empirical findings. An index was developed to describe the overall performance of the homestay by compositing five thematic indexes: relevancy, efficiency, effectiveness, impact, sustainability. The index value 92.65 from the range of minimum 48 and maximum 240 for the overall performance provides the strong quantitative evidence to answer the question “why did Amaltari receive the best award among”. The multiple regression model (R-square value 0.99) for overall performance also proves that independent variables describe the dependent variables by 99 percent. Among the independent variables relevancy and effectiveness indexes are more likely to describe dependent variable- the overall performance index. The evidence shows that Amaltari homestay has performed well due to the technical/financial supports of WWF, proper mobilization/utilization of conservation fund and homestay community fund, strong social capital, and quality leadership that has transforming the livelihoods of Tharu, Bote and Mushar indigeneous people. However, they have some concerns like waste management in bufferzone areas, reviving the cultural organizations for preserving and transmitting culture from generation to generation, minimizing the modernization and demonstrative effects due to the excessive flow of the tourists and upgrading road connectivity.

Willenbockel (2011) A Cost-Benefit Analysis of Practical Action’s Livelihood-Centred Disaster Risk Reduction Project in Nepal. Brighton: IDS. Abstract This study provides a systematic cost-benefit analysis of a community-based disaster risk management project led by Practical Action in two districts of Nepal over the period 2007 to 2010. Under cautious assumptions about the long-term impacts of the project initiatives, the overall benefit-cost ratio ranges from 1.13 to 1.45, while under moderately optimistic assumptions the estimated benefit- cost ratio is up to 2.04. The internal rate of return of the project is between 22.2 and 26.3 percent. These findings indicate that the livelihood-centred approach to disaster risk reduction adopted in this project has resulted in a significant net contribution to the economic welfare of the target communities and delivered value for money.

  • Struggle for Environmental Justice Aug 23.Indd
    Chapter Five From Local Resistance to a Movement The restrictions imposed by the Park on daily life have produced immense hardship for the indigenous communities that live in Chitwan. Their livelihoods have been seriously affected, especially those of the landless Bote-Majhi and Musahar. Fishing and harvesting of forest products is no longer possible. The nutritional standards of the communities have fallen noticeably. The struggle launched by the people, to which this study now turns its attention, has to be understood as a struggle for life. Gradually, a mass movement has evolved, but it has very much remained a grassroots movement. Emergence of MMBKSS The resistance movement of the indigenous people started in 1983/84 (2040 BS) ‘before democracy’. Ten active individuals from different villages organised informal meetings to discuss their problems. Their efforts did not go unchallenged, particularly by local elites (e.g., landlords). Bote-Majhi leaders were persuaded to renounce their attempt to register a formal organisation. In response to complaints filed by local elites, police took action. By 1986 (2042 BS) arrest warrants had been issued for the leaders of the movement. Once, while mobilising the people, the leaders were forced to take refuge in the forest and went underground for months. They hid in the forests of Gajapur across from Sighrauli. Amar Bahadur Majhi, Jit Bahadur Majhi and his wife, Buli Ram Majhi, Tej Bahadur Bote, Hari Bahadur Musahar, Kaliya Musahar, and others had to desert their villages. Interestingly, they report that Army personnel were fairly cooperative while they hid inside the National Park and relied on the products of the forest.
