dc.description.abstractThe study was conducted from October, 2006 to December, 2006 to determine the relationship of agricultural land use and socioeconomic factors; impact of Land-use, Soil Conservation Practices, Farming Practices and Income on Soil and Water Quality; and to come-up with physicochemical data that would serve as basis for recommending the adoption of more effective land-use practices and soil conservation measures. The socio-economic factors such as educational attainment, participation, in terms of membership to farmers’ organization and attendance to seminars/lectures on soil conservation techniques, knowledge/awareness on the cause of soil erosion, market related or none-market related influencing factors, tenure status, length of farming, cropping season, annual income, and credit system were related to agricultural land-use. The factors: agricultural land-use, practice of soil conservation, farming practices, and annual income were related to soil conservation to soil and water quality, Dummy values were used to numerically quantify qualitative factors. Educational attainment and credit system significantly influenced land-use of Acao and Pugo landusers. This result may imply that the level of education is a driving force in gaining knowledge and awareness on the interplay of causes of soil erosion and the importance of farming practices. Result may also imply that the accessibility to credit system would eventually result to adoption/implementation of at least one farming practices. On the other hand, the none significance of socio-economic factors to effect land-use in the other four barangays is maybe attributed to the idea that there are other factors that have influenced the land-use decision of respondents of Baraoas Norte, Baraoas Sur, Caoayan, and barangay Dalacdac. Soil quality was significantly affected by practice of soil conservation, farming practice of soil conservation, farming practices and annual income. Water quality was significantly affected by agricultural land-use, practice of soil conservation, and farming system.
