dc.description.abstractThis paper examines the relationship between urban poverty and deforestation in the peri-urban region of Ginchi, Ethiopia. This analysis is carried out through the examination of Participatory Forestry Management (PFM) using the Five Dimensions of Urban Sustainability and incorporating them into the stages of Environmental Planning and Management. Primary research reveals that the high level of dependency of the urban poor has a direct effect on deforestation and thus any attempt to address the one problem will impact the other. However, I also found that the environmental problem was not exclusive to urban poverty but a result of weakness in all Five Dimensions. Therefore, Participatory Forestry Management is dependent on strong macro-level or other lobbying, whose success would be subject to the given context. In situations where this is not apparent, a flexible or alternate program must be implemented to address the environmental problemen_US
