Qualitative data on socio-economic characteristics from ten villages in Gurue, Mozambique

This dataset contains the transcripts of interviews and discussion groups from ten villages in the Gurue district, Zambezia province, Mozambique. The ten villages were selected from a land scarcity gradient running from villages with abundant land to those with intense land constraints, mainly driven by expanding agricultural activities and population density. The villages had similar infrastructure, soils, rainfall, and vegetation types. The dataset contains information on participatory mapping of the village characteristics, seasonality, how agricultural activity has changed over time (trend analysis), wealth ranking within the villages and differences between wealth statuses, and profiles/characteristics of each village. Interviews were conducted with groups in each village or the leader of the village, between July and December 2015. Data were collected as part of a project funded under the Ecosystem Services for Poverty Alleviation (ESPA) programme.

本数据集收录了莫桑比克赞比西亚省古鲁埃区十个村庄的访谈和讨论小组记录。这十个村庄根据土地稀缺程度梯度选取，从土地丰富的村庄到土地受限严重的村庄，此梯度主要由农业活动的扩展和人口密度所驱动。这些村庄在基础设施、土壤、降雨量和植被类型上具有相似性。数据集包含了村庄特征参与式制图、季节性、农业活动随时间的变化趋势分析、村庄内部财富排名及财富状况之间的差异，以及每个村庄的概况/特征信息。访谈于2015年7月至12月间在每个村庄的群体或村庄领导中进行。数据收集是作为生态系统服务减贫（ESPA）项目资助的一部分。关于本数据集的详细信息可在以下链接中找到：https://doi.org/10.5285/f82f7ad8-0e98-41cb-951e-be64ffd36078
