The main result of this paper establishes the amenability of certain quasi-measure preserving Borel actions of a word hyperbolic group (in the sense of Gromov). As a consequence, the author obtains the following indecomposability result for equivalence relations generated by word hyperbolic groups: Let \(S\) (respectively \(T\)) be an equivalence relation on a finite measure space \(Y\) (resp. \(Z\)), such that \(S\) (resp. \(T\)) is a Borel subset of \(Y\times Y\) (resp. \(Z\times Z\)), and such that each equivalence class \(S(y)\) or \(T(z)\), for \(y\in Y\) and \(z\in Z\), is infinite and countable. Let \(\Gamma\) be a hyperbolic group, and assume that there exists a free measure-preserving \(\Gamma\)-action on \(Y\times Z\) such that for a.e. \((y,z)\in Y\times Z\), we have \(\Gamma (y,z)= S(y) \times T(z)\). Then \(\Gamma\) has a cyclic subgroup of finite index.
