| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study examines the impacts of rural-urban migration on rural communities in Bhutan. Migration from rural to urban areas has been recognised as a problem since late 1990s in Bhutan. This trend has been accelerated in recent years. Through interviews with people in rural areas in Bhutan, the study reveals that rural-urban migration affects not only economic dimension of lives, such as increasing uncultivated farm land and decreasing agricultural production, but also cultural and social dimensions including loss of knowledge about indigenous species of plant and its cultivation.
