Abstract: NOVA, ANNA PAMELA GALEON. Extent of Self-Reliance of Rural Improvement Club Members in the Province of Cavite. Master’s Thesis. Master of Science in Agricultural Extension. Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite, April 2005. Adviser: Dr. Antonio G. Papa. This study aimed to determine the extent of self-reliance of the Rural Improvement Club (RIC) members in the province of Cavite. Specifically, it was conducted to: describe the demographic characteristics, socio-economic characteristics and access to information of the RIC members; identify the reasons why they affiliated with the Rural Improvement Club; determine the extent of self-reliance of the RIC members; ascertain the relationship between the demographic and socio-economic characteristics of RIC members and the extent of self-reliance ; and identify the problems they encountered and their suggested solutions to solve the problem. The study was conducted in the province of Cavite covering the four towns and one city, namely: l) Amadeo, 2) Indang, 3) Mendez, 4) Tanza, and 5) Trece Martires City. Proportional random sampling was used in determining the towns as locale of the study. The respondents of the study was consisted of the Rural Improvement Club beneficiaries. A total of 145 respondents were selected using the proportional random sampling. The number of respondents was determined using the Slovin's formula. Primary and secondary information were used in the study. Primary data were gathered through personal interviews with the respondents using an interview schedule. Secondary data were obtained from the Office of the Provincial Agriculturist in Trece Martires City, Cavite and Municipal Agriculture Office and City Agriculturist of their respective municipalities and city. Frequency count, percentage, mean, range and rank will be used to describe the general characteristics of the respondents. For measuring the relationship among different variables and the extent of self-reliance, the Pearson Chi-Square test was used. In determining the degree of relationship between the independent variables found to be related to extent of self-reliance, the coefficient of contingency was used. The level of significance is at five percent level. The result revealed that 62 percent of the respondents were in the middle age level. Around two-thirds of the respondents were married. About one-half of the respondents reached high school level or graduated from high school and their family composed of five members. The average annual income of the respondents was P84,465.00. More than half (68 %) of the respondents had no farm, most of them are housewives. The average size of the farm was 1.8 hectares. All of the respondents were member of the association, 49 percent of the respondents had no training experience while 75 percent of the respondents had sources of information. Out of 39 activities, 13 were done with high extent of self-reliance; 15 were average and I I were done with low extent of self-reliance. The Pearson chi-square test showed that source of information appeared to be significantly related to the extent of self-reliance. Variables found to be not significantly related to the extent of self-reliance were age, civil status, educational attainment, household size, annual family income, sources of income, size of farm, tenure status, membership in the organization and attendance to seminar/training. Most of the respondents participated to the RIC activities by their own will, others were motivated by the government technician and influenced by their co-rural women. The major problem identified by the club members was insufficient financial assistance given by the Local Government. Other problems were lack of cooperation among members and difficult to persuade attendees during meetings.
