Dzud是蒙古语，指冬季天气灾害，其中深雪，严寒或其他条件使饲料无法获得或无法获得，并导致牲畜死亡率高。暴风雪在蒙古国经常发生，在调节牲畜数量方面发挥着重要作用。然而，暴风雪，特别是与其他环境或社会经济压力和变化结合在一起时，可能对家庭福祉以及地方和国家经济产生重大影响。本研究旨在通过对四个社区应对2009-2010年暴风雪的深入案例研究来填补这一知识空白，以记录家庭和社区一级的影响和应对措施。案例研究采用混合方法，采用定性和定量数据收集和分析技术，包括访谈、焦点小组、家庭问卷、照片语音和文件审查，在位于阿尔汉盖省森林草原区的两个县（区）、Ikhtamir和Undur Ulaan以及位于Bayankhongor Aimag、Jinst和Bayantsagaan戈壁沙漠草原区的两个县进行。这项研究的具体目标是评估牧民家庭和社区的脆弱性、适应能力以及2010年暴风雪后的中期恢复和复原力。
Dzud is the Mongolian term for a winter weather disaster in which deep snow, severe cold, or other conditions render forage unavailable or inaccessible and lead to high livestock mortality. Dzud is a regular occurrence in Mongolia, and plays an important role in regulating livestock populations. However, dzud, especially when combined with other environmental or socio-economic stresses and changes, can have a significant impact on household well-being as well as local and national economies. This study aims to fill this gap in knowledge by conducting in-depth case studies of four communities responses to the 2009-2010 dzud to document both household-and community-level impacts and responses. The case studies use a mixed-methods approach employing qualitative and quantitative data collection and analysis techniques including interviews, focus groups, household questionnaires, photovoice and document review, and were carried out in two soums (districts) located in the forest-steppe zone of Arkhangai Aimag (province), Ikhtamir and Undur Ulaan, and two soums in the Gobi desert-steppe zone of Bayankhongor Aimag, Jinst and Bayantsagaan. The specific objectives of this study are to assess herder household and community vulnerability, adaptive capacity, and medium-term recovery and resilience from the dzud of 2010.
