Livelihood type-specific behaviours regarding household choices in land use and management practices

Abstract

This report focuses on the analysis of livelihood type-specific behaviors regarding household choices in land use and management practices. This is a contribution to the overarching framework of “Integrated Systems Analysis and Modeling in Aral Sea Region” activity within Dryland System CRP. The report is based on further analysis of baseline data collected within “Innovation Platform” activity, surveyed and reported in 2015 (Rudenko 2015). Preliminary analysis of household survey data including description of the study area and the content of the questionnaire was presented in the report of Niyazmetov et al. (2016). Insights from this analysis contributed to formulation and drafting of a journal manuscript (Report 2, draft prepared in journal paper format) entitled Agricultural livelihood types and type-specific drivers of production diversification: an evidence from Karauzyak, Karakalpakstan, Uzbekistan.
