| Abstract: | Firewood, a traditional cooking method, has historically been prevalent in rural areas. However, with the progress of modern technologies and increased awareness among the populace, there has been a noticeable shift from firewood to liquefied petroleum (LP) gas for cooking purposes. In Tadi Rural Municipality (TRM), Nepal, a study was conducted using stratified sampling and questionnaires to investigate the typical usage of cooking fuels among rural residents. The findings revealed a significant preference for LP gas among the majority of households over other cooking fuels. Respondents indicated health reasons and the convenience of LP gas as primary factors influencing their choice. Despite the ready availability of firewood, considerations related to health, environmental cleanliness, convenience, and time management strongly inclined people towards LP gas. The research corroborates existing knowledge suggesting the safety and advantages of LP gas over firewood across multiple aspects. Notably, the study's results underscore the population's awareness of these advantages, leading to a deliberate selection of LP gas as the preferred cooking fuel over other available options. This shift in preference signals a transformation in cooking practices in rural areas, aligning with the adoption of modern technologies and a heightened consciousness regarding health and environmental considerations in household cooking choices. |
