| description | The systematic information based on concepts, interpretations, ideas, observations,
and judgments is known as knowledge. The present study portrayed that the focus of scientific
investigations is growing towards assessments based upon environmental knowledge system.
The study aimed to understand the interactions between local knowledge systems and decision on
land use allocation among rural households in South Africa. Decisions about land-use, resource
access, determinants of land-use allocation and environmental knowledge were analysed using
descriptive statistics. SPSS was employed to calculate a two-tailed Pearson correlation, multiple
regression and ANOVA two-way of variance. Landform condition has a strong impact on the
distribution of ecosystems through variation of the climate and controlled land-use. The
allocations of land-use as related to landforms reveal both effortless and multifaceted results. A
more multifaceted model of land-use allocation occurs on stripping slopes, hills, and foot slopes,
which are difficult to access and are covered by forests and scrubland. The study detected a strong
linkage between land-use patterns and environmental knowledge. The environmental knowledge
acquired either from a formal or an informal resource has significant bearings on land-use
patterns, thus being useful for sustainable land-use planning and management. Besides that, how
the community allocates land for different purposes is dependent on a multitude of
socio-economic factors like land ownership (public or private), economic gains, education, access
to credits and other resources. |
