ABSTRACT:
Economics study is an important necessary factor in nomads’ production. This paper studies the production attributes of nomads and related economics in Darzeh, Kahnooj. Data was collected by participatory approach (PRA) using triangulation techniques and then analyzed. The studied area included 18 tribal communities. In each tribal community data collection was done separately using participatory approaches. Stock raising and orchard (date palm) were the main sources of their income. Recently they are threatened by drought and their productivity has been decreased. So working as a labor and seasonal migration has been increased. Also handicraft industry is not common in this society. Totally, employment rate is about 68%.
Findings show that although it is considered that stock raising be the main source for nomad’s income, the most income of the nomads belongs to working as labor (939000000 Rials, US$ 93900), horticulture(90750000 Rials, US$ 9075), stock raising (77680000 Rials, US$ 7768) and handicraft (25000000 Rials, US$ 2500), respectively. Per Capita is about 564000 Rials (US$ 56.4) that is so low.
Designing proper strategies for their sedentarisation, programming for agricultural education development in order to increase their farm productivity, paying attention to cultural affairs, bank facilities and organizing nomads in local associations, and also designing for building local dams are some of the paper suggestions.
