摘要

了解当地社区的保护态度对保护区的长期生存至关重要。人们对保护区的看法和态度很大程度上受到当地社区与保护区管理之间存在的各种关系的影响。着重于当地人民对保护区的反应的研究表明,对保护区和一般保护的态度也受到所获得利益的很大影响。本研究旨在探讨缅甸波帕山公园(PMP)附近村民保护态度的影响因素。从毗邻公园的三个村庄随机抽取174户家庭样本,通过结构化问卷访谈、与当地居民的焦点小组讨论和直接观察环境来收集数据。采用Logistic回归分析来确定哪些显著因素影响保护态度的预测。Logistic回归表明,森林依赖和对森林资源的有限获取是保护态度的重要预测因子。该调查结果与大多数类似的研究结果一致,即通过就业机会或农业收入来源为生计提供其他收入来源将大大减少对森林的依赖。研究得出结论,在保护区管理中,考虑PMP附近的家庭社会经济特征是必不可少的。该研究建议应鼓励环境教育方案,以减少对受保护森林的依赖。此外,政府应该考虑采取措施,增加农业生产,为当地社区创造非农就业机会,并加强保护活动,特别是在波帕山公园周围。

Assessing Local People’ Perceptions and Attitudes on Protected Areas in Popa Mountain Park, Myanmar
Understanding conservation attitudes of local communities is essential to the long -term survival of protected areas. Perception and attitudes towards protected areas may greatly be influenced by the various kinds of relationship that exists between the local communities and the protected area management. Studies that have focused on local people’s responses to protected areas indicate that attitudes towards protected areas and conservation in general are also greatly influenced by benefits obtained. This study aims to explore the factors influencing conservation attitudes of villagers who live near around the Popa Mountain Park (PMP) in Myanmar. A sample of 174 households was randomly selected from three villages adjoining the Park to collect the data using structured questionnaire interviews, focus group discussion with local residents and directly observation to the environment. Logistic regression analysis was applied to determine which significant factors influence in predicting attitude towards conservation. Logistic regression showed that forest dependency and limited access to forest resources are found to be significant predictors of conservation attitudes. The findings go along with most of similar studies that, providing alternative source of income for the livelihood through employment opportunities or by an income source from agricultural will greatly reduce the forest dependence. The research concluded that consideration to household socioeconomic characteristics near around the PMP is essential in protected area management. The study recommends that environmental education programme should be encouraged in order to reduce dependence on the protected forests. Moreover, the government should consider measures to increase agricultural production and generate off-farm employment opportunities for local communities in general and strengthen conservation activities especially around the Popa Mountain Park.
