GT-10-03  aGood  t ransportation system  plays a s  a vital  role for  developing  a  region  and  the  living  standard  of  the  people  f rom  this  region  is  completely  depended  upon  the  level  of  its  transportation system.  In many developing countries, rural area development is slow because  these countries cannot implement the rural road development quickly .  At present , they try to  develop  the  rural  transportation  system  but it  still  needs  to  improve  more.  Myanmar  also  face s with this problem, and Government tr ies to develop it but a lot of barriers such as  lack  of  budget,  lack  of  high  technolog ies and  lack  of construction  materials , still  r emain . However,  Government  can  improve  the  transportation  system  of  some  rural  area  and  these  villages change their economical and social status at present time. This  study focuses  on  the  differences  in  mobility  of  the  villagers,  the  income  level  and  livelihood  patterns  of  them,  access  to  socio - economic  services  and  gender  division  of  labor  between with  newly paved road villages and without  paved road villages.  In comparing  with  the rural areas with good transportation system and without good transportation system,  four  villages  are  selected , and  among  them , two  are  the  villages  which  have  road  improvement  and  the  rest  two  are  the  villages  which  have  no  road  improvement.  For  the  villages  which  have  paved road,  road  improvement  were  finished  since  last  five  years  and  it  can  be  found  that how road improvement can served to get better the living standard of the villagers. As this study is gender analysis on rural road development ,  both male and female respondents  are  selected  from  each  village.  Both  female  household  heads  and  female  from  male  headed  households are chosen as female respondents, and male household heads are chosen as male  respondents. This research focuses not only  the comparisons among the villages but also the  comparisons  among  male  and  fem ale  respondents  of  same  village and  other  villages.  This  study also analyzes on decision making pattern and the ownership of the properties  within the  households.  aA thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the  Degree of  Master of Science in Gender , Transportation  and  Development  aThesis (M.Sc.) - Asian Institute of Technology, 2010 0aRural roadszMyanmar1 aHanaoka, Shinya,eExamination committee0 aKunnawee Kanitpong,eExamination committee1 aKusakabe, Kyoko,eChairperson2 aASEAN Foundation,eScholarship donor2 aAsian Institute of Technology.tThesis ;vno.
