The energy harnessed in this source is used for different purposes in Maraxwe area this include: cooking, heating, warming, lighting, brick burning or hardening, pot making or pottery and other activities. Due to many activities attached to one and the same source, severity of effects on fuel wood resources increases. The study therefore is undertaken to investigate into rural fuel wood energy crisis in Maraxwe village, and to come up with different alternative sources of energy. It will also alert people on their utilization, extraction, rate and depletion on fuel wood. Through this they will be aware and participate in ways to mitigate the problems. The outcomes of the research will therefore clearly identify or describe the problem, assess factors that affect fuel wood energy and resources thus coming up with strategies to solve the problem sustainable. The crisis has caused many socio-economic as well as ecological problems in the local community and their environment. According to the study the problem has-been identified and there is a need for solutions to mitigate the crisis. After interviewing local community members and representative leader a potential solution was derived at- namely the use of biogas was suggested as better alternative source of energy (capable of mitigating the crisis).xi, 73 leaves: color illustrations, color maps ; 30 cmenUniversity of VendaMappingUCTDEcological zonesRemote sensingDissertationRatshibvumo T.
