This study aimed to identify some socioeconomic factors affecting local people in central Riyadh area for the utilization of wood and other energy sources in cooking and heating in order to develop some recommendations for conserving woodlands.
The study results revealed that gas is the most common energy source used for cooking with a mean usage level of 2.79 (SD= 0.58).
On the other hand, wood ranked first for heating with the highest mean, usage level of 1.90 (SD = 1.06).
However, electricity and gas as sources of energy for heating ranked second and third with mean usage level of 1.81 and 0.80 respectively.
The study revealed that local people with the university education were significantly making higher use of electricity for both cooking and heating and those with no formal education ranked the highest on wood use for both cooking and heating.
In addition, those living in traditional houses significantly used more wood for cooking than those living in villas and apartments.
Also, local people with high income levels significantly were using more electricity for heating than others.
The study recommended conducting extension and environmental awareness raising programs to enhance local residents’ adoption of wood substitutes, promoting employment opportunities for unemployed locals, and subsidizing prices of alternative energy sources.
