Description
This study proposes that cultural ecological approach was used in carrying out the research: a case study of Gangaw Township in Myanmar. Ecology is the study of the working of ecosystem, of the behavioural in interdependences of different kinds of organisms with respect to one another and their nonbiotic environment. Cultural ecology is the systemic study of the relationship between the environment and society. Therefore, cultural ecology is the study of the ways in which culture is used by people to adapt to their environment. The aims of this study are to be able to link the natural environmental factors with socio-cultural system of the people in Gangaw Township and to explore the sociocultural stability, modernity and education in the study area. Specific objectives include toelicit information on how the environmental changes and cultural ways of life are interrelated in the study area, to identify the adaptive strategies of the local people in the study area on the environmental changes and to make recommendations as regards how the positive aspect of indigenous culture should be maintained. It was a Case Study performed at five study villages in Gangaw Township. Data collection methods included the design of Ethnographic research, like qualitative research depending on the specific objectives of this study to correlate the documented data.
