Household demographic and socio-economic pbkp_redictors of agricultural practices, land use and environmental degradation perception of the Paute catchment (Ecuador)

Abstract:

This paper seeks to improve the understanding of the household-level dynamics (life-cycle) and its relationship, through livelihood strategies, to adaptations (agricultural practices, land use change) & environmental perception focusing on long-settled communities in the Andes. In this research we have included migration as part of the household livelihood strategies (focusing on the sending place) as well as some agricultural practices and perception of environmental degradation variables considered as household adaptations. A primary data generation (the 3-Paute survey) has been carried out obtaining 239 surveyed households. Gathered data have been analyzed by the Factor Analysis for Mixed Data (FMDA), the Hierarchical Clustering on Principal Components (HCPC); as well as Chi2 (test of independence), ANOVA & Kruskal-Wallis tests for measuring dependencies or relations among variables.
