Abstract

This study covers all of the four districts that form the native area of the Chepangs. One village development committee (VDC) from each district was purposively chosen based on the dominance of the Chepang population. Few adjoining hamlets were further chosen based on accessibility. Sixty households were randomly selected from each VDC. Primary data was collected through household survey in two phases. The first phase in 2010 was focused on demographic- and livelihoods-related information. A follow-up survey was conducted among the same households in 2011 focusing on climate change. Only 221 households out of the total 240 households that could be retraced in the second phase form the final sample. This book also utilizes the secondary weather data obtained from the department of hydrology and meteorology. This study incorporates both qualitative and quantitative approach in data analysis.
