| description |
Dzud is the Mongolian term for a winter
weather disaster in which deep snow, severe cold, or other
conditions render forage unavailable or inaccessible and
lead to high livestock mortality. Dzud is a regular
occurrence in Mongolia, and plays an important role in
regulating livestock populations. However, dzud, especially
when combined with other environmental or socio-economic
stresses and changes, can have a significant impact on
household well-being as well as local and national
economies. This study aims to fill this gap in knowledge by
conducting in-depth case studies of four communities
responses to the 2009-2010 dzud to document both
household-and community-level impacts and responses. The
case studies use a mixed-methods approach employing
qualitative and quantitative data collection and analysis
techniques including interviews, focus groups, household
questionnaires, photovoice and document review, and were
carried out in two soums (districts) located in the
forest-steppe zone of Arkhangai Aimag (province), Ikhtamir
and Undur Ulaan, and two soums in the Gobi desert-steppe
zone of Bayankhongor Aimag, Jinst and Bayantsagaan. The
specific objectives of this study are to assess herder
household and community vulnerability, adaptive capacity,
and medium-term recovery and resilience from the dzud of 2010. |
