Abstract

ABSTRACT The paper assesses the local communities’ interest in institutional reform in wildlife conservation in Tanzania. Data were collected from 281 heads of households through questionnaire surveys, interviews, focus group discussions and documentary review and analysed by content, thematic analysis, and SPSS version 21. The study found that the local community was generally excluded from decision-making on the Wildlife Management Area (WMA). The wildlife-related benefits did not reach the household, reducing the community’s interest in supporting wildlife conservation. The local community should be required by law to participate in establishing and managing WMA to ensure full participation in planning, management, and benefit sharing from wildlife resources.

坦桑尼亚马考奥保护野生动物的制度改革

摘要本文评估了坦桑尼亚当地社区对野生动物保护体制改革的兴趣。通过问卷调查、访谈、焦点小组讨论和文献综述收集了281位户主的数据，并通过内容、主题分析和SPSS版本21进行了分析。研究发现，当地社区通常被排除在野生动物管理区（WMA）的决策之外。与野生动物相关的福利没有惠及家庭，降低了社区支持野生动物保护的兴趣。法律应要求当地社区参与建立和管理WMA，以确保充分参与野生动物资源的规划、管理和利益共享。

期刊介绍： For more than 45 years, the International Journal of Environmental Studies has been pre-eminent in its field. The environment is understood to comprise the natural and the man-made, and their interactions; including such matters as pollution, health effects, analytical methods, political approaches, social impacts etc. Papers favouring an interdisciplinary approach are preferred, because the evidence of more than 45 years appears to be that many intellectual tools and many causes and effects are at issue in any environmental problem - and its solution. This does not mean that a single focus or a narrow view is unwelcome; provided always that the evidence is indicated and the method is robust. Pragmatic decision-making and applicable policies are subjects of interest, together with the problems in establishing facts about dynamic systems where long periods of observation and precise measurement may be difficult to secure. In other words, a systems or holistic approach to the environment and a scientific analysis are complementary, and the distinction between ’hard’ and ’soft’ science is bridged in most of the papers published. These may be on any item in the agenda of environmental science: land, water, food, conservation, population, risk analysis, energy, economics of ecological and non-ecological approaches, social advocacy of arguments for change, legal measures, implications of urbanism, energy choices, waste disposal, recycling, transport systems and other issues of mass society. There is concern also for marginal areas, under-developed societies, minorities, species loss; and indeed no element of the subject of environmental studies, seen in an international and interactive mode, is excluded.
