Abstract

APPLICATION OF IoT-BASED TERRESTRIAL BIODIVERSITY DATA FOR SUSTAINABLE LIVELIHOODS AMONG RURAL COMMUNITIES IN TURKANA COUNTY

*Jeremiah Osida Onunga, Anselemo Ikoha Peters and Peter Edome Akwee

ABSTRACT

This study aimed to explore the application of IoT-based terrestrial biodiversity data for sustainable livelihoods in Turkana County, Kenya. The study used theoretical research findings to connect IoT theory and practice with biodiversity data for sustainable livelihoods. The mixed method was used, with a sample of 384 households in Turkana County. Data was collected through questionnaires, focus group discussions, and key informant interviews. The study found that pastoralists who were aware of terrestrial biodiversity and pastoral advice provided by IoTs used the information to influence their way of life. The findings emphasized the need for initiatives allowing rural populations to utilize IoT technologies for processing and sharing terrestrial biodiversity data. The study's knowledge contribution took the form of an enhanced Sustainable Livelihoods (SLF), where varied responses and systematic analysis made the IoT application relevant for understanding the relationship between terrestrial biodiversity data and sustainable livelihoods. The findings can be used to provide policy recommendations and suggestions for Kenya's future terrestrial biodiversity data plans, policies, and strategies.
