Abstract

Firewood consumption (total and per capita in each household) have been examined for three regions, according to distance from the forests in the hilly areas. The analysis has clearly shown that distance from forests has significant effect on total and per capita firewood consumption. Easy availability of firewood increases its consumption. Also a bigger household consumes larger quantity of firewood but does it more efficiently. Therefore, firewood saving devices should be thrust in areas near the forests to decrease the firewood consumption.
