摘要

摘要:随着人们对森林可持续发展和森林资源保护的日益关注，本研究应运而生。在受保护森林枯竭、气候变化和公共卫生问题日益严重的背景下，本研究通过竞标游戏的形式开发了一个可持续性指数，以显示加纳大阿克拉地区家庭对受保护森林的可持续性行为。根据家庭调查数据的横截面和回归分析，本研究发现，总体而言，约79%的受访者对GAR中的受保护森林表现出可持续的行为。此外，这种可持续的行为与每年80,837,594新台币(15,368,398美元)的预期收入有关。我们还发现，社会经济、心理和环境因素是加纳大阿克拉地区受保护森林可持续性的主要驱动因素。这项研究对加纳致力于维持受保护森林和森林资源的机构具有重要意义。

Sustaining Protected Forests and Forest Resources in Ghana: An Empirical Evidence

ABSTRACT The increasing concern for sustainable forest and protected forest resources motivates this study. In the wake of rising protected forest depletion, climate change and public health problems, this study through a bidding game format develops a sustainability index to show households’ sustainability behavior toward the protected forests in the Greater Accra Region of Ghana. Relying on a cross-section of household survey data and regression analysis, this study finds that overall, approximately 79% of respondents exhibited sustainable behavior toward protected forests in GAR. Also, this sustainable behavior is associated with expected revenue of GH¢ 80,837,594 (USD$ 15,368,398) per annum. We also find that socioeconomic, psychological, and environmental factors are the main drivers of protected forest sustainability in the Greater Accra Region, Ghana. This study has important implications for institutions working toward sustaining protected forest and forest resources in Ghana.

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
