Abstract

: Effective implementation of participatory forest management requires understanding of the needs of local communities and their valuation of forest resources conservation. Hence, this study used a contingent valuation method to estimate forest conservation value as hold by local community using data collected from 450 households in Amhara Region, Ethiopia. The findings reveal that most households (83.9%) are willing to pay for forest conservation practices. The estimated average willingness to pay (WTP) for forest conservation is found to be 121.17 birr per household per year. The binary probit model result reveals that education, access to extension services, farmland ownership, dependency on forest resources, and membership in community forest management organisations favourably determine WTP for forest conservation. The result indicates that a significant economic value is attached to forest resources conservation, and hence, this study suggests that participatory forest management approach is important in sustainable forest management and the livelihood of the local community. School of Economics, University of Gondar. He has experience in teaching various economics courses for undergraduate students and has broad research interests in the areas of environmental economics, forestry and sustainability. Diptimayee Nayak is currently an Assistant Professor of Economics at Department of Humanities and Social Sciences, Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee, Uttarakhand, India. Her research interests spread in the broad areas of environmental and ecological economics including forest ecosystems, protected area management, biodiversity conservation, sustainability, and non-market environmental valuation techniques.

当地社区如何通过参与式管理评估森林保护——以埃塞俄比亚阿姆哈拉地区为例
:参与式森林管理的有效实施需要了解当地社区的需要及其对森林资源养护的评价。因此,本研究利用从埃塞俄比亚阿姆哈拉地区450户家庭收集的数据,采用条件估值法估计当地社区持有的森林保护价值。调查结果显示,大多数家庭(83.9%)愿意为森林保护措施付费。估计森林保护的平均支付意愿(WTP)为每户每年121.17比尔。二元概率模型结果表明,教育、获得推广服务的机会、农地所有权、对森林资源的依赖以及社区森林管理组织的成员资格有利于决定森林保护的WTP。结果表明,森林资源保护具有重要的经济价值,因此,本研究表明,参与式森林管理方法对可持续森林管理和当地社区的生计至关重要。冈达尔大学经济学院。他有教授本科生各种经济学课程的经验,在环境经济学、林业和可持续发展领域有广泛的研究兴趣。Diptimayee Nayak目前是印度北阿坎德邦鲁尔基印度理工学院人文与社会科学系经济学助理教授。她的研究兴趣广泛涉及环境和生态经济学,包括森林生态系统、保护区管理、生物多样性保护、可持续发展和非市场环境评估技术。
