2.1 Descrição curta da abordagem

The gully protection activities were initiationed and maintained by local people by using local materials based on their indigenous knowledge which supports to achieve more sustainable soil and water management.

2.2 Descrição detalhada da abordagem

Descrição detalhada da abordagem:

Aims / objectives: The aim of the approach is to reduce gully formation, protect the fertile agricultural land and minimise the effect of slipping down of the village.

Methods: Individual farm ownner along the side of the gully take the first responsibility of the maintannce. The Jagidol village community and the Newari Guthi of the region, and all Hindus who worship for the Nagdevata and Shiva devata along the stream bank take extra care and consiousness on gully protection. It is a collective efforts through social networks.

Stages of implementation: Ever on going. Basically individual initiation. If the problem is bigger in Community gathering and discussion takes place for planning of necessary activities. Material will be collected locally. Hands of implementation is called from the local area. This approach has been continued for over 200 years.

Role of stakeholders: The land wonner along the stream bank have major role, if the situation becomes terrific then only other give hands. Men are more active for the land protection during crisis such as flood, but in regular upkeeping and maintainance women are more active.

Other important information: Gully is much more in control in the upper region where the bioengeenering approache is applied; there it is more stable and mature. In the lower belt of the gullies it still is under the need of regular maintanace.

2.5 País/região/locais onde a abordagem foi aplicada

2.7 Tipo de abordagem

• Tradicional/Indígena

2.8 Principais metas/objetivos da abordagem

The Approach focused mainly on other activities than SLM (Activities of religious, cultural and biological importance)

To protect agains gully formation. To protect under the soil loss. To protect the land from flood. Protection of source of water for dry season. To prevent landslides. To prevent the slidding of the hill towards the gully. To improve the well being of the farm and farmer.

The SLM Approach addressed the following problems: Lack of institutional development. The group is not registered anywhere in a conservation team or organisation. Thus getting no technical and financial support from government or non-governmental organisations. The research done by the community is not documented, it is trasmitted by mouth to mouth. To manage the gully labour shortage in the village is a rwal constraint.

2.9 Condição que propiciam ou inibem a implementação de tecnologia/tecnologias aplicada(s) segundo a abordagem

3.1 Partes interessadas envolvidas na abordagem e seus papéis

3.2 Envolvimento do usuários de terra/comunidades locais nas diferentes fases da abordagem

	Envolvimento do usuários de terra/comunidades locais	Especifique quem estava envolvido e descreva as atividades
Iniciação/motivação	Automobilização	The villagers realised that they needed to protect the land to increase the amount of available farming land and to protect their village from landslides.
Planejamento	Automobilização	The villagers plan various counter measures during the dry season, so that when the monsoon come their land would be protected
Implementação	Automobilização	The land users implemented the protective measures using local materials .
Monitoramento/avaliação	Automobilização	The build protective measure are maintained and repaired from time to time.
Research	Nenhum	no documentaion is made besides our study

3.4 Decisão sobre a seleção de tecnologia/tecnologias de GST

Especifique quem decidiu sobre a seleção de tecnologia/tecnologias a serem implementadas:

• Somente usuários da terra (iniciativa própria)

Explique:

The land users have been implementing these technologies since many years. They have developed their own methods and selection of technology and material by trial and error. They have used intuitive reasoning for excellence.

Decisions on the method of implementing the SLM Technology were made by by land users* alone (self-initiative / bottom-up). by observing the best resulting methods and material. By learning from the nearby places where the technology is selected under the guidance of conservation specialists.

4.1 Reforço das capacidades/ formação

Foi oferecida formação aos usuários da terra/outras partes interessadas?

Sim

Tipo de formação:

• Em exercício
• Agricultor para agricultor

As instituições foram fortalecidas ou estabelecidas através da abordagem?

• Não

4.4 Monitoramento e avaliação

Monitoramento e avaliação são partes da abordagem?

Sim

Comentários:

bio-physical aspects were regular monitored by land users through observations; indicators: No formal reporting was ever made, but evolution of the approach were continually observerd.

technical aspects were regular monitored by land users through observations; indicators: No formal reporting was ever made, but evolution of the approach were continually observerd.

Continuity of the approach aspects were regular monitored by land users through observations; indicators: No formal reporting was ever made, but evolution of the appraoch were continually observerd.

There were few changes in the Approach as a result of monitoring and evaluation: The insecurity factor of the land user is combined with religious aspects such as the development of temple

There were few changes in the Technology as a result of monitoring and evaluation: New and recent material and technology is emerging in the lower area were the practice is relatively young

5.1 Orçamento anual para o componente de GST da abordagem

Caso o orçamento exato seja desconhecido, indique a faixa:

• < 2.000

Comentários (p. ex. principais fontes de recursos/principais doadores):

Approach costs were met by the following donors: local community / land user(s) (There has been no external aid): 100.0%

5.2 Apoio financeiro/material concedido aos usuários da terra

Os usuários da terra receberam apoio financeiro/material para a implementação de tecnologia/tecnologias?

Não

5.3 Subsídios para entradas específicas (incluindo mão-de-obra)

• Nenhum

Se a mão-de-obra pelos usuários da terra foi uma entrada substancial, isso foi:

• Voluntário

Comentários:

Full costs to land users

5.4 Crédito

Foi concedido crédito segundo a abordagem para atividades de GST?

Não

6.1 Impactos da abordagem

6.2 Principal motivação dos usuários da terra para implementar a GST

6.3 Atividades de sustentabilidade de abordagem

Os usuários da terra podem manter o que foi implementado através da abordagem (sem apoio externo)?

• Incerto

Caso negativo ou incerto, especifique e comente:

The approach needs subsidies or external support to sustain it due to shortage of local labor volunteers. With funding support the village can purchase better materials to create longer lasting structures.

6.4 Pontos fortes/vantagens da abordagem

Pontos fortes/vantagens/oportunidades na visão do usuário da terra
Remarks and suggestion of nearby land users and community persons are taken into serious consideration (How to sustain/ enhance this strength: Learning of society to respect and regard others suggestion. Morale value)

Pontos fortes/vantagens/oportunidades na visão do/a compilador/a ou de outra pessoa capacitada
Community network and individual farm ownership, self farming by land owner, most of the landowner reside at the same hill (How to sustain/ enhance this strength: Discourage migration of farming community to nearby city)

6.5 Pontos fracos, desvantagens da tecnologia e formas de superá-los

Pontos fracos/desvantagens/riscos na visão do usuário da terra	Como eles podem ser superados?
Migration of farmer for better job. Commencement of new owner. Comming of a brick making factory instead of farming.	Government should give more rules for cultivable land.

Pontos fracos/vantagens/riscos na visão do/a compilador/a ou de outra pessoa capacitada	Como eles podem ser superados?
No proper and formal planning. No connection with authority and funding organisations	Formalisation of the group for conservation practices
