Social Metabolism and Material Flow Analysis: Household Resource Use and Throughput in a Village in the Liuwa Plain National Park, Zambia

The data were collected as part of the ELNAC project (Enhanced Livelihoods and Natural Resource Management under Accelerated Climate Change: A large landscape social-ecological systems approach; https://sasscal.org/sasscal-ii-research-portfolio/). This dataset was collected in a village located in the Mishulundu Area of Liuwa Plain National Park, Western Province of Zambia using the ‘Kobo Tool’ application (https://www.kobotoolbox.org/). The data were gathered to support a Material and Energy Flow Analysis (MEFA) within the context of Community-Based Natural Resource Management (CBNRM). The dataset includes information on biomass stocks and flows, resource extraction, agricultural production, fisheries, livestock, household artefacts, cash flows, food consumption, and other livelihood activities. In addition, it contains data relevant to the estimation of waste generation and emissions, including solid waste, wastewater, and CO₂ emissions. The surveys of this dataset were conducted in 42 households covering the entire village population. Over the course of the year, four similar data collections were carried out in the KAZA region. The other datasets that are related to this dataset are linked within this dataset – and vice versa. We have decided to publish each dataset separately, as different people were involved in the process and there are minor variations in the metadata and in how the surveys were carried out. Please therefore read all the information relating to these datasets separately. All the information required to understand the dataset can be found in the metadata file attached to this dataset (Metadata for Site_4.pdf).
