      abstract = {The paper analyses factors influencing rangeland enclosure  practices among groups of
herders in eastern Ethiopia. The  study employed logistic and linear regressions to
identify  the determinants. Linear regression results show that the  labor endowment of a household has a positive influence on  households’ decision to enclose. Greater 
network density  and membership in different social organizations produce  disincentives.
Livestock ownership and membership as a  resident in a village have a positive effect
on the area  fenced. The logit model shows that wealth and ownership of  private water
points positively determine range enclosure.  However, there is no positive linear
relationship between  labor endowment and area fenced. In addition, land  allocated to
crop farming has a negative influence,  rejecting the hypothesis that herders’ intention is  primarily to cultivate the enclosed land.},
