The Quantitative Analysis Of Influencing Factors Of Agroforestry Indigenous Knowledge

As the culture core of the community, agroforestry indigenous knowledge is the important component of traditional culture. This essay used empirical study on agroforestry indigenous knowledge to seek for intrinsic factor and essence of it. SPSS was used to process data from 2 communities which in Shangri-LA County. Quantitative and qualitative study of agroforestry indigenous knowledge to expore the essence of it. Because of their heterogeneity, this paper divided agroforestry indigenous knowledge into 4 parts for the relevant. Regression,factor and correspondence analysis methods were used to expore relevance and correspondence between 4 parts of agroforestry indigenous knowledge and farmers'annual household income and consciousness of forest protection. Conclusions are followed:1. Equations of the impact of agroforestry indigenous knowledge to annual household income of the farmers are followed:(1) The equation of the impact of agroforestry indigenous technology to annual household income of the farmers is: EARN=0.846EXPD+14248.869V5.4-5855.236V4.1+62930.962V3.5 +11143.962V3.1 +577.984V5.2+133.046That means variables of V5.4(buy firewood in another village),V3.5(digging crude drug),V3.1(earn money from transportation),V5.2(pick pirewood)and EXPD(annual expenditure of family)can promote an increase in annual household income of famers. Comparison of coefficient means digging crude drug is the most influential variable to enhance the income.(2) The equation of the impact of local religion to annual household income of the farmers is: EARN=1.022EXPD-18888.506AREA-8680.151V18.5+12755.272V11.1 +663.113EDU +28220.526That means variables of V11.1(seek advice from monk before moving),EDU(education background)and EXPD(annual expenditure of family)can promote an increase in annual household income of famers; variables of V18.5(burning joss sticks in the dragon boat festival)and AREA(area) can reduce annual household income of famers. Comparison of coefficient means there has big differences of income between two communities.(3) The equation of the impact of local ballads to annual household income of the farmers is: EARN=1.069EXPD-15388.179AREA-8020.335V26+5423.276V31 +34678.739That means variables of V26 and AREA(area)can reduce annual household income of famers; variables of V31(whether or not the people know the history of ballads),EDU(education background),EXPD(annual expenditure of family) can promote an increase in annual household income of famers. Comparison of coefficient means acquaintance content has more influence than know the history of ballads on annual household income of famers.(4) The equation of the impact of local customary law to annual household income of the farmers is: EARN=1.062EXPD-19337.821AREA-6473.754V51.3-9894.124V39.5 -4934.621V37 -3061.572V52+53879.439That means variables of :V51.3(planting equal numbers trees after illegal lumbering),V39.5(people know the content of customary law through villagers'meeting),V37(whether or not the customary law is recode with characters),V52(wether or not that had people illegal lumbering last year)and AREA(area)can reduce annual household income of famers; EXPD(annual expenditure of family) can promote an increase in annual household income of famers. Comparison of coefficient approve villagers congress has strong influence there.(5) The equation of the impact of local agroforestry indigenous knowledge to annual household income of the farmers is: EARN=0.926EXPD+14487.548V5.4+70491.652V3.5+15684.337V3.1 -8815.657V18.5-7997.326V43.2-7312.060V60.4+7662.847V56.1 -5060.964 V43.1-16117.822 V59.4+14956.828Compare with 4 equation, new variables in equation belong to customary laws. That approve importance of customry laws. Compare coefficients of 4 component of agroforestry indigenous knowledge, agroforestry indigenous technology has the most influence on annual household income of famers, ballads has few influence on it.2. The effect of containing factors of 4 components of agroforestry indigenous knowledge to promote the consciousness of forest protection are followed:(1) Agroforestry indigenous technology: the factors of Lumber-Fertilizer -Drug,Lumber-Firewood and Lumber-Firewood-Drug can promote the consciousness of forest protection, and the degree is reduced gradually. An appropriate use of forest resource can raise the consciousness of forest protection, and then to form sustainable forest management of using - protection– using.(2) Religion: the factors of religions connotation,buddhist medicine and religion,reasons for primitive religion,special festivals,religious sacrifice can raise the consciousness of forest protection; and the factor of primitive religions fear do not impact to promote the consciousness of forest protection. That means rational religion can actuate local people to form the consciousness of forest protection spontaneously.(3) Ballads: the factor of daily life can raise the consciousness of forest protection; and the factors of Elder,Special days,Familiarty do not make use to raise the consciousness of forest protection.(4) Customary law: the factors of Reasons of planting,Punishment and supervision and Investigation can raise the consciousness of forest protection; and the factor of View for forest protect do not make use to raise the consciousness of forest protection.Based on the above findings, this paper's recommendations for spreading and transmission of agroforestry indigenous knowledge as follows:Agroforestry indigenous knowledge can promote an annual household income of famers, and also can raise consciousness of forest protecton. But we don't establish the protective mechanism until today. Nowadays, neither has written record about local agroforestry indigenous knowledge nor translate it with modern language. All of that hide the inheritance and spread of agroforestry indigenous knowledge. We should increase the attention of it and use modern machinery to protect and inheritant it. So that we can better inheritant the culture to our descendent.
