Gashute, T S Ph.D. Thesis, Hawassa University Hawassa, Ethiopia, Hawassa, Ethiopia, 2012. abstract bibtex This thesis titled ‘Livelihood-Environment Nexus: The Reconciling Role of permaculture, Casestudy in Konso Woreda’ is an attempt to assess the practice of permaculture in Konso woreda inthe context of the livelihood and environment condition of the woreda. The study is targeted tothe assessment of the role of permaculture in reconciling livelihood-environment interaction as ageneral objective, and to examine the role of permaculture in improving livelihood conditions aswell as in protecting the environment and to investigate how the environment can be managedfor the sustainability of livelihood as specific objectives. It is believed that the correspondingresearch questions which are posed at the initiation of the study are answered to meet the statedobjectives. In order to get deeper information on the issue an exclusively qualitative researchmethodology with purposive sampling technique in which the major participants were farmersand teachers was employed. The data collection tools used includes in-depth interview, keyinformant interview, focus group discussion, observation and secondary data. Accordingly, thestudy has tried to examine the context in which permaculture was introduced in Konso woredaand the progress of permaculture from the view point of major indicators like impact on theenvironment, productivity and income generation . The study has also tried to assess the practiceof permaculture as livelihood strategy in Konso area based on DFID’s SLF and the theory ofagro-ecological approach. Through these investigations and logical analysis the study came tothe finding that there are improvements in environment condition, productivity and incomewhich indicates the potential of permaculture to influence the livelihood and environmentimprovement of the study area. It has also brought new knowledge which can foster the longlasted and appreciated indigenous knowledge of the study area. It was also identified that thereis no well organized interaction and involvement of concerned stakeholders on the practice inthe study area. Based on this the study came to the conclusion that if things are plain,permaculture has the potential to bring improvement on the natural capital which can ultimatelyleads to improvement in productivity (secured food) and can contribute to the buildup of otherlivelihood assets.
