Abstract

More than one-third of the world's population still has no access to clean cooking facilities despite global interest and efforts to expand the accessibility of clean cooking fuels. They use traditional biomass, i.e., crops, animal dung and firewood, as their cooking fuel, and the health and economic damage from it is severe. As many studies have been conducted to understand the choice and transition of cooking fuel in developing countries, characteristics of household head have been addressed as one of the main fuel determinants. However, decision-making in households is not only made by household head and can vary depending on the relative characteristics of household members. Thus, this study analyses the determinants of cooking fuel choice through the samples of Cambodian couples(household head and his/her spouse) considering both characteristics of husbands and wives. As a result, it is confirmed that the effects of characteristics, such as employment, education levels, and frequency of media use, between husbands and wives on cooking fuel choice were different. This study is expected to contribute to the development of more sophisticated policies to increase clean fuel in Cambodia, given that it takes into account the characteristics of spouses who have not previously been dealt with in analyzing the determinants of cooking fuel choice and that it is difficult to find research on Cambodia.

취사용 청정연료의 접근성 및 사용을 확대하고자 하는 세계적인 관심과 노력에도 불구하고, 여전히 전세계 인구의 약 1/3 이상이 청정 취사시설을 이용하지 못하고 있다. 그들은 전통적인 방식의 바이오매스, 즉 농작물, 가축분뇨, 목재 등을 취사용 연료로 사용하고 있으며 이로 인한 건강 및 경제적 피해는 심각한 수준이다. 개발도상국의 취사용 연료 선택 및 전환을 이해하고자 하는 다수의 연구는 가구주의 특성을 주요 결정요인 중 하나로 다뤄왔다. 그러나 가구 내 의사결정은 가구주에 의해 독단적으로 수행되지 않으며 가구원 간의 상대적인 특성 등에 따라 다양하게 나타난다. 본 연구는 가구주를 포함한 캄보디아 부부를 대상으로 남녀 배우자 각각의 특성을 모두 고려하여 취사용 연료 결정요인을 분석하고자 하였다. 그 결과, 근로활동, 교육 수준, 미디어 이용 빈도 등 남녀 배우자 간의 특성이 연료 결정에 미치는 영향이 서로 다르게 나타났다. 본 연구는 취사용 연료 결정요인을 분석하는 데 이전에 다뤄지지 않은 배우자의 특성을 고려한다는 점과 캄보디아를 대상으로 한 연구를 찾아보기 어렵다는 점에서 캄보디아의 청정연료 확대를 위한 보다 정교한 정책 개발에 기여할 것이라 기대한다.
