| description | The main aim was to look at how the pottery business contributes to reducing
poverty and unemployment as well as how it affects the environment. The study
looked into the socioeconomic and technical aspects of pottery manufacture in
the Ankole district of western Uganda. Both qualitative and quantitative
techniques of data gathering and analysis were used throughout the study's
fieldwork. First, 148 respondents were given questionnaires from a diverse cross
section of the Ankole district. Second, in order to get a more thorough grasp of
the experiences and viewpoints of both traditional and modern potters—
something a questionnaire alone could not provide—40 potters were interviewed
and seven focus group talks were held with potters from this region. According to
the results, women are predominantly responsible for creating traditional pottery,
whereas males are mostly involved in developing new techniques and
manufacturing commercial pottery. Unquestionably, brick and tile manufacturing
has developed into a successful industry, particularly for male adolescents
because to the great demand for the goods from both rural and urban
populations. However, pottery-related activities have wreaked havoc on the
ecosystem. These efforts have produced pools of still water in some locations,
which serve as breeding grounds for mosquitoes that carry malaria over much of
the region. |
