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. The study villages are Shon Shi, Zahaw, Taung Kin Yan, Myauk Kin Yan and Kyaw villages which are situated in Gangaw Township. The study took place from June 2008 to April 2012. Key findings included that rural habitats in Gangaw Township were concerned with the cultural ecological development and how human communities change themselves in order to change the way in which they use the natural environment. In fact, it is now widely accepted that the development activities are associated with the natural environment management: roads construction, railway construction, government dams and hand-made dams in this township disturb the environment and ecosystem in diverse ways. These cause wide changes in the natural topography due to construction of roads and railway tunnel. These result in deforestation, soil erosion, degradation of catchment areas and variation in water levels, mineral contamination and a change in the micro climate which affects flora and fauna of the area. When studying the five study villages in Gangaw region, the socio-cultural changes, environmental changes and their adaptability were emphasized dividing into four decades- 1970,1980,1990,2000,2010 (from 1962 to 2010).\r It was also found that the main constraint in agriculture for Chin and Bamar (Yaw) nationals who live in this region is not getting enough water for agriculture. They however tried to solve this problem by creating hand-made dams and government dams. It therefore had to carry out the study based on parallel adaptation as there had been the development of similar cultural adaptation to similar environmental conditions by people of similar cultural background, and the researcher tried to observe the infrastructure, structure and superstructure in Gangaw Township. In doing so, both emic (native point of view) and etic (observer point of view) were included through using the methods of functionalism (functions interrelating with each other), comparism (comparing among five study villages) and materialism. Recommendations are made in consonance with the findings. Nevertheless, for certain parts of the data, the scope was uneven in detail, it is considered, however, it has enabled to reflect the reconstruction of environmental transformations during 1962 to 2010."}]},"item_1583103108160":{"attribute_name":"Keywords","attribute_value_mlt":[{"interim":"cultural ecology"}]},"item_1583103120197":{"attribute_name":"Files","attribute_type":"file","attribute_value_mlt":[{"accessrole":"open_access","date":[{"dateType":"Available","dateValue":"2020-05-05"}],"displaytype":"preview","filename":"Nyunt Nyunt Win.pdf","filesize":[{"value":"8827 Kb"}],"format":"application/pdf","licensetype":"license_note","mimetype":"application/pdf","url":{"url":"https://meral.edu.mm/record/1920/files/Nyunt Nyunt Win.pdf"},"version_id":"7e1315c8-876f-4804-ab3b-0a31134166cd"}]},"item_1583103131163":{"attribute_name":"Journal articles","attribute_value_mlt":[{"subitem_journal_title":"University of Yangon"}]},"item_1583103147082":{"attribute_name":"Conference papaers","attribute_value_mlt":[{}]},"item_1583103211336":{"attribute_name":"Books/reports/chapters","attribute_value_mlt":[{}]},"item_1583103233624":{"attribute_name":"Thesis/dissertations","attribute_value_mlt":[{"subitem_supervisor(s)":[]}]},"item_1583105942107":{"attribute_name":"Authors","attribute_value_mlt":[{"subitem_authors":[{"subitem_authors_fullname":"Nyunt Nyunt Win"}]}]},"item_1583108359239":{"attribute_name":"Upload type","attribute_value_mlt":[{"interim":"Publication"}]},"item_1583108428133":{"attribute_name":"Publication type","attribute_value_mlt":[{"interim":"Thesis"}]},"item_1583159729339":{"attribute_name":"Publication date","attribute_value":"2012"},"item_1583159847033":{"attribute_name":"Identifier","attribute_value":"https://uyr.uy.edu.mm/handle/123456789/732"},"item_title":"The Ecology Model and on Going Process of Culture Change: a Case Study of Gangaw Township in Myanmar","item_type_id":"21","owner":"1","path":["1582967314171"],"publish_date":"2020-03-05","publish_status":"0","recid":"1920","relation_version_is_last":true,"title":["The Ecology Model and on Going Process of Culture Change: a Case Study of Gangaw Township in Myanmar"],"weko_creator_id":"1","weko_shared_id":-1},"updated":"2021-12-13T03:46:22.196709+00:00"}
