多塞特是坦桑尼亚中部的一个地区，是一个较小的行政单位，也是该地区的主要城镇，即使在坦桑尼亚，对许多人来说也是半干旱地区的象征。气候学家将该地区的大部分地区归类为半干旱地区，因为其降水量位于下四分位数。年平均降雨量为200-600毫米。仅仅根据这个平均数，就不能排除纯农业。瓦戈戈人居住的部分，被称为戈戈兰，覆盖了多佛尔区的大部分地区。它位于3,000英尺以上的高地高原上，占坦桑尼亚面积的不到2%，人口的比例略高。在1967年的人口普查中，该地区有30万人，占全国人口的2.6%。在欧洲人到来之前，瓦戈戈没有中央集权的政治制度，而是由许多居住在仪式区的氏族组成。在每一个仪式区域内，都有几个由分散的家园组成的街区，尽管偶尔这些街区也会由一群家园组成。土地是继承的，但通过用益物权持有。Wagogo生活
Dodoma, a region in central Tanzania, a smaller component administrative unit, and also the principal town in the region, symbolizes to many, even in Tanzania, a semi-arid area. Most of the region is classified by climatologists as semi-arid because its precipitation lies in the lower quartile. It receives an average rainfall of 200-600 mm per annum. Merely on this average figure pure agriculture is precluded. The part inhabited by the Wagogo, known as Gogoland, covers most of Dodoma District. It lies on an upland plateau of 3,000 feet and more, and comprises less than two percent of Tanzania's area and a slightly higher percentage of its population. In the 1967 population census the area had 300,000 people or 2.6 percent of the country's population. Before the arrival of the Europeans the Wagogo had no centralized political system but consisted of numerous clans who lived in ritual areas. Within each ritual area there were several neighborhoods consisting of scattered homesteads, although occasionally the neighborhoods comprised a cluster of homesteads. Land was inherited but held by usufructuary rights. WAGOGO LIVELIHOOD
