Rather than take your $50, I'll post this as a comment: I did a bit of research in the Yale University online catalog, and it's clear that the sources that point toward the answers you seek are written in Chinese. So you're unlikely to find your answers on the Internet, but if you can read Chinese it may be worth following up at Yale or other collections. < www.library.yale.edu > Yale Library Catalog Search Request: K=SICHUAN AND TIBET Search Results: 51 Entries Found DATE TITLE AUTHOR 1 2000 Sichuan Sheng suo cun Xizang he Zang shi d 2 1999 Zang zu yuan shi zong jiao Zhou, Xiyin 3 1996 Huang yuan gu bao : xizang Guge wang guo g Zhang, Jianlin 4 1995 Zhongguo Sichuan Ganzi Zang zu fu shi qi g 5 1994 Xizang fo jiao si yuan bi hua yi shu 6 1994 Xizang wen ming dong xiang fa zhan shi Shi, Shuo 7 1994 Xizang yan hua yi shu 8 1994 Yuan yi lai Xizang di fang yu zhong yang z 9 1993 Zang Han fo xue ci dian 10 1992 Dian Zang Chuan da san jiao wen hua tan mi 11 1992 La ma miao : Fo di shi jie = The Lamasery Jin, Shen 12 1992 Tang ka yi shu 13 1990 Jin dai Kang qu dang an zi liao xuan bian 14 1990 Ren Naiqiang min zu yan jiu wen ji Ren, Naiqiang 15 1989 Qing mo Chuan Dian bian wu dang an shi lia 16 1989 Xi bu qi lu = Marvelous way in west 17 1988 Xikang ji shi shi ben shi zhu He, Juefei 18 1988 Zang zu shi lun wen ji 19 1986 Dong bei Zang gu dai min jian wen xue Thomas, Frederick 20 1986 Jingwen zhu Zang zou gao Jingwen 21 1986 Song dai Tu fan shi liao ji Tang, Kaijian 22 1986 Xizang zhi Chen, Guanxun 23 1985 Changdu Karuo 24 1985 Chuan Zang you zong hui bian 25 1985 Xizang feng qing Gong, Sixue 26 1984 Qing dai Zang shi ji yao xu bian 27 1984 Zhao Erfeng Chuan bian zou du Zhao, Erfeng 28 1983 Dunhuang Tufan wen xian xuan 29 1983 Min yuan Zang shi dian gao ; Zang luan shi 30 1983 Qing dai Zang shi ji yao Zhang, Qiqin 31 1983 Zengbu di bao niao : Zang zu min jian tong Xiao, Chongsu 32 1982 Chuan xi Zang dong Diqu di ceng yu gu shen 33 1982 Fan seng yuan liu kao 34 1982 Kang Zang Qing gao yuan li xian ji : Qiu y Chen, Quzhen 35 1982 Qiu ye chen meng Chen, Quzhen 36 1982 Tong jian Tufan shi liao 37 1982 Xi zhao tu lue Songyun 38 1982 Xizang zhi 39 1982 Zang zu shi liao ji 40 1981 "Ce fu yuan gui" Tufan shi liao jiao zheng 41 1981 Chuan Zang you zong hui bian 42 1981 Tan xiang shu : Zang zu min jian gu shi 43 1981 Wu se hai di chuan shuo : Zang zu chang pi Xiao, Chongsu 44 1981 Zang zu shi yao Wang, Furen 45 1980 Akoudengba di gu shi 46 1970 Litang zhi lue : 2 juan 47 1947 Xikang yu ji Zhang, Daqian 48 1939 Chongqing ge tu shu guan suo cang Xi nan w Guo li zhong yang 49 1934 Xikang zhi shen mi shui dao ji = Mystery r Ward, Francis King 50 1933 Minya Gongkar, forschungsreise ins hochgeb Heim, Arnold Alber 51 1905 Vom Omi bi Bhamo : Wanderungen an den Gren Hackmann, Heinrich |

ayla-ga - You asked a detailed question about demographics and psychographics of Tibetan nomadic population in the areas of Ohtsok and Ngachuka in western Sichuan Province. You wanted to know (all for Tibetan Nomadic): - population - number of children in age ranges - number of children that attend school - average number of years of schooling - times of year when school attendance is impossible - number of medical facilities - location of medical facilities - types of medical treatments most requested, most served - water source for these areas and water quality - power accessibility (electrical, solar, what??) - Average income of family - average occupations of the population, and - percentage involved in each occupation (i.e.: herders 75% av. income= RMB 500/yr) - Types of ecosystems - how much deforestation has occurred in the last 45 years - number and list of NGO's both local and foreign, working in these areas - what these NGO's do - length of time in operation - extent and impact of their services (number of people served to population of the area) - Regional economic resources of Sichuan county and Litang Prefecture - planning objectives for the next 10 years - Who are local officials serving the areas of Ohtsok and Ngachuka? - What are their titles, and - what is their contact informtaion? And while there is quite a bit of information available, much of it is in Chinese, which I do not speak. I did find leads of both specific and general natures, which I want to share with you. As such, I won't post this as an answer - just a comment. If it is an answer, leave word here and I'll then mark it as answered. Specifically... The National Bureau of Statistics of China ( http://www.stats.gov.cn/english/index.htm - the English version page) references the "Contents of China Statistical Year Book 2001" ( http://www.stats.gov.cn/english/newrelease/publications/200204190050.htm ), which includes, in reference to your (above) requests, the following Major Captioned information: - Division of Administrative Areas and Natural Resources - General Survey - National Accounts - Population - Employment and Wages - Investment in Fixed Assets - Production and Consumption of Energy - Government Finance - Price Indices - Peoplefs Livelihood - General Survey of Cities - Agriculture - Industry - Construction - Transport, Post and Telecommunication Services - Domestic Trade - Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation - Tourism - Banking and Insurance - Education, Science and Technology - Culture, Sports and Public Health - Other Social Activities and Environment Protection - Main Social and Economic Indicators of Macao Special Administrative Region (SAR) - Comparison of Economic and Social Indicators among the Peoplefs Republic of China and Other And, included within the above Major Captioned Items, are (English) detail captions (!) on: monthly average temperature, precipitation and sunshine hours of major cities; selected indicators on average daily social and economic activities; population and its composition; birth rate, death rate and natural growth rate of population; total population and sex ratio by region; family households and collective households and their population by region; age composition by region; total production of energy and its composition; overall energy balance sheet; petroleum, coal, electricity balance sheets; basic conditions of rural households; per capita annual net income of rural households by source and by region; student enrollment per 10 000 population and composition of students enrolled; basic statistics on primary schools by urban and rural areas and by region; basic statistics on kindergartens by region; and much, much more. Unfortunately, the actual data appears available only with the Chinese text. Generally... Institute of Chinese Studies, Heidelberg University ( http://sun.sino.uni-heidelberg.de/igcs/ ) - there are hundreds of listings, many not in English, using Major, Minor, and Detail Captioning. One of the captions is Other Guides: China, which includes: - Internet and Chinese Studies Resources (Bick-har Yeung, Library, East Asian Coll., Univ. of Melbourne, Australia) - (http://www.lib.unimelb.edu.au/collections/asian/Internet-ChiResources.html) - Chinese Yahoo! ë Õ ¶ - (http://www.chinese.yahoo.com). - Sohoo r Ï (Internet Technologies China, PR China) - (http://www.sohoo.com.cn/). - China Home Page - (http://www.ihep.ac.cn/china.html). - CERNET - (http://www.cernet.edu.cn/). - China Science and Technology Network (CSTNet) - (http://www.cnc.ac.cn/). - The China Matrix (Kenneth Farrall, ChinaVista) - (http://www.virtualchina.com/matrix/) - China - New Resources (University of Michigan Library, Ann Arbor, USA) - (http://asia.lib.umich.edu/china/index.htm). - Hyper-C - (http://www.chinavista.com/hyper-c/hyper-c.html). - China Studies Homepage - (http://www.geocities.com/Baja/1021/). - Chinese Studies WWW Virtual Library - (http://www.lib.unimelb.edu.au/collections/asian/chihp.html). - Friends and Partners China - (http://www.friends-partners.org/fpchina/index.html). - The Unofficial Sichuan Yahoo - (http://sunflower.singnet.com.sg/~tanwc2/sichuan/index.htm).

While I wasn't able to find the specific information you requested, I did find some sites that might be of use in your research. Please see below. ===== COMMENTS: Although the article found on this site probably won't be a whole lot of help in your query, the department that put it together might be able to help you out. For the address of the US Embassy in China, please see one of the sites listed below this one. QUOTED FROM WEB SITE: Sustainable Development in China's Tibetan Population Regions A report from U.S. Embassy Beijing September 1996 Summary: State planners calling for the development of large scale agriculture and animal husbandry in Tibetan population regions of China contrast with Chinese Government sanctioned non-government organizations (NGO's), international organizations and academic experts who recognize the unique ecological adaptation of the Tibetan pastoral culture. Ecological limitations on grassland carrying capacity may thwart the attainment of self sufficiency for food and clothing production in the Tibetan Autonomous Region (TAR). Data from several sources suggest the grasslands are stocked close to theoretical capacity, placing herds at the mercy of the weather and increasing the risk of grassland degradation. This report, is the first of three reports based upon discussions during a recent visit, that examine sustainable development and grassland degradation in the Tibetan population regions of China. This report examines the patterns of land use and grassland stocking in the Qinghai Tibet Plateau (QTP) and explores the sustainability of pastoralism in the QTP by assembling statistics that have just emerged on land use, herd populations. The second report provides a bird's eye view of development policies. The third report looks at grassland degradation and strategies for sustainable development. URL: http://www.usembassy-china.org.cn/english/sandt/final1.htm ===== COMMENTS: This is a semi-annotated list of Chinese links - some sites listed are in English, some in Chinese. The section titles are as follows: China Web Guides Chinese Language Search Engines and Starting Points Television and Radio Press PRC Environmental Web Site List: Provincial, City, Individual Health Official Journals Personal Web Pages Academic World Computers, Internet, and Information Security Computer and Internet Magazines NGOs Internet Service Providers and Network Information The contact person listed for the Environment, Science and Technology Section is: Kurt Tong, Counselor Email: bjembst@public.bta.net.cn Phone: 86-10-6532-3831 x6609 Fax: 86-10-6532-3297 QUOTED FROM WEB SITE: Chinese Web Sites U.S. Embassy Beijing Environment, Science and Technology Section URL: http://www.usembassy-china.org.cn/english/sandt/Sandchw.htm ===== COMMENTS: You might be able to get some pertinent information from the Chinese Embassy and/or Consultate in the USA, or the American Embassy in China. The U.S. Department of State's site for the China Background Notes done by the Bureau of East Asian and Pacific Affairs has the contact information. Just scroll until you're near the end of the page. QUOTED FROM WEB SITE: Embassy of the People's Republic of China 2300 Connecticut Avenue NW Washington, DC 20008 Tel.: (202) 328-2500 American Embassy Beijing Xiu Shui Bei Jie 3 Beijing 100600 People's Republic of China Tel.: (86) (10) 6532-3831 FAX: (86) (10) 6532-3178 URL: http://www.state.gov/www/background_notes/china_0011_bgn.html ===== COMMENTS: The main site deals with human rights in China, and it includes some information on education and child-related issues, such as the page quoted below. QUOTED FROM WEB SITE: A schoolteacher in a Tibetan county in Gansu Province detailed the condition of the school in her township: Ùchere is only one building and two teachers, neither of whom are qualified. The school is financed by local taxes. It gets no grant from any higher-level government. The school house is drafty and cold, and the children have to sit on the floor.158 Many Uyghur schools are also so poorly equipped that students sit and write on the earthen floor.159 Many ethnic minority schools are actually unsafe. An article in the official China Daily admitted that of the country "dangerous middle school buildings, a disproportionately high number were in the poor parts of central and western China, often inhabited by ethnic minorities. For example, the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, which has only 3.2 percent of the country̼ population, has 5.3 percent of the total of unsafe middle schools.160 Girls are often particularly disadvantaged in poor areas in terms of education. Liu Su, the vice governor of Gansu Province, reported that out of 157,300 school-age children not in school in Gansu, 85 percent were girls.161 This trend is confirmed nationally. The Sample Survey on the Situation of Children in 1993 reported that enrollment rates were higher for boys (94 percent) than for girls (91 percent) and that three-quarters of not-enrolled children were girls, mostly in poor and national minority regions.162 URL: http://iso.hrichina.org:8151/download_repository/A/cerd%2001.doc ===== COMMENTS: If the China report done by these folks doesn't help, maybe they could point you in the right direction. QUOTED FROM WEB SITE: This website contains the on-line versions of books previously published in hard copy by the Federal Research Division of the Library of Congress under the Country Studies/Area Handbook Program sponsored by the U.S. Department of Army. Because the original intent of the Series' sponsor was to focus primarily on lesser known areas of the world or regions in which U.S. forces might be deployed, the series is not all-inclusive. At present, 101 countries and regions are covered. URL: http://lcweb2.loc.gov/frd/cs/cshome.html COMMENTS: The report on China is here: URL: http://lcweb2.loc.gov/frd/cs/cntoc.html ===== Hope this helps some. Good luck! TexasT |
