Abstract

The dataset contains six files from three data sources: (1) the Ethiopia Rural Socioeconomic Survey (ERSS)/Living Standards Measurement Study-Integrated Surveys on Agriculture (LSMS-ISA), a three-round panel data for Ethiopia, filtered for Tigray region; (2) an ERSS follow-up survey on the beliefs and opinions of respondents on land use change conducted in August 2019 in Tigray; and (3) land cover transition data derived from LandSat satellite imagery for years 1986 and 2016. The files include data on household and plot features, prices of land use outputs, a diagonal block matrix of variables for mixed effects analysis, beliefs and opinions on land use change, and land cover transitions. The dataset covers 34 Enumeration Areas (EA) of the ERSS/LSMS-ISA and is representative of the region. It can be useful for studies on land use policies, environmental protection, and the drivers and impacts of land use land cover change in Tigray, Ethiopia. The data were processed using user-written codes in STATA v.17.

This dataset supports the manuscript “Multi-level determinants of land use land cover change in Tigray, Ethiopia: A mixed-effects approach using socioeconomic panel and satellite data”, which is under review in PLOS ONE.

This dataset contains six minimum datasets extracted from three different sources, namely (1) the Ethiopia Rural Socioeconomic Survey (ERSS)/Living Standards Measurement Study-Integrated Surveys on Agriculture (LSMS-ISA) (2) an ERSS follow-up survey on the beliefs and opinions of respondents on land use change and (3) Land cover data derived from satellite imagery. Minimum dataset extracted from ERSS/LSMA-ISA are min_data_hh_features which includes variables characterizing each household in land use choice determinant analysis and min_data_plot_by_field_features which have data on variables characterizing each field that make up a plot which is used in the land use choice determinant analysis. The file named min_data_land_use_output_price also includes portion of land allocated to land use categories along with average per KG price of products the household drives from each use type. min_data_lulc data file also contains ERSS follow up survey variables characterizing direction of change of land cover categories. A combination of household, plot, and community level variables derived from these minimum datasets and arranged in a diagonal block matrix of determinants is also shown in min_data_mixed_reg_data_diag_block and used for mixed-effects modeling. The min_data_lulc is land cover transition data for each land cover categories during 1986 to 2016.
