Eng..) - Asian Institute of Technology, 1987  aThis research study is a preliminary attempt to analyse the energy  system situation and its evolution in Nepal.The study focusses on  the trends in fuelwood consumption pattern and its substitutibility  particularly in the domestic sector , the main consumer of total  energy and fuelwood in Nepal. Its interlinks with the trends in mi gration and the forest situation was treated in more detail.  The tool selected for the study was the MEDEES simulation model  based on applied system analysis as it provides easy way to trade off  between data availability and relibility. The result obtained showed  that fuelwood substitution by commercial fuels seems not feasible nor  desirable at least for the forseeable future. The better way to deal with  the fuelwood scarecity problem is to regulate the traditional energy  supplies by discouraging Hills to Terai migration on the one hand and  increasing the afforestation on the other.10aSubstitution (Economics)10aFuelwoodxNepal1 a Chateau, Bertrand, eChairperson1 aGiap Van Dang, eExamination Committee1 aShrestha, Ram M.,eExamination Committee2 aEuropean Economic Communities , eScholarship Donor2 aAsian Institute of Technology.bResearch studies project report ;vno.
