چکیده

در شرایط فعلی دست‌یابی به توسعه پایدار منابع‌طبیعی، مستلزم شناخت نقش و جایگاه مشارکت مردم محلی در فرایند حفظ، احیا و بهره‌برداری از منابع‌طبیعی است. این پژوهش که از نوع تحقیق‌های پیمایشی است با هدف بررسی میزان مشارکت جنگل‌نشینان در مدیریت جنگل و عامل‌های مؤثر بر مشارکت انجام شد. جامعه آماری تحقیق شامل 330 خانوار از جنگل‌نشینان شهرستان بابل در منطقه بابلکنار و 70  نفر از کارشناسان منابع‌طبیعی اداره کل منابع‌طبیعی استان مازندران است. با استفاده از جدول مورگان، تعداد 178 خانوار به‌عنوان نمونه جنگل‌نشین انتخاب شدند و کارشناسان اداره کل منابع‌طبیعی استان مازندران نیز از طریق سرشماری انتخاب شدند. اطلاعات و داده‌ها از طریق پرسشنامه جمع‌آوری و برای سنجش روایی ابزار تحقیق (پرسشنامه) از نظرات متخصصان و صاحب‌‌نظران علمی و اجرایی استفاده شد. با استفاده از آزمون آلفای کرونباخ، ضریب پایایی پرسشنامه جنگل‌نشینان 87/0a=  و کارشناسان
89/0= a تعیین شد. نتایج اقدامات انجام‌گرفته در مدیریت جنگل نشان داد که جنگل‌نشینان در فعالیت‌های حفظ و بهره‌برداری جنگل، مشارکت و عملکرد بهتر و بیشتری نسبت به احیای جنگل داشته‌اند. همچنین مشخص شد که رابطه مثبت و معنی‏داری بین متغیرهای میزان تحصیلات، سن، درآمد حاصل از فعالیت‌های کشاورزی، میزان ارتباط با مسئولین منابع طبیعی، میزان شرکت جنگل‌نشینان در دوره‌های آموزشی- ترویجی، میزان آگاهی و شناخت جنگل‌نشینان از فواید جنگل و میزان مدیریت صحیح اعمال‌شده توسط جنگل‌نشینان، رابطه معنی‌داری وجود دارد. درمجموع، پیشنهاد می‌شود که آگاهی و دانش جنگل‌نشینان در رابطه با مدیریت جنگل افزایش یابد.

چکیده [English]

The sustainable development of natural resources depends partially on identifying the role of local people’s participation in conservation, restoration and utilization of natural resources. This study aims at investigating of participation level of forest dwellers as well as the effective factors on their participation in forest management. Therefore, a number of 330 forest dweller households and 70 natural resources experts of natural resources headquarters of Mazandaran province in Babolkenar area of Babol Township were sampled for a survey research framework. It led to the selection of 178 households using Morgan table as well as 70 experts from natural resources headquarters via census. The required information was collected by means of questionnaires, which were validated using the executive and professional expertise. The reliability coefficients if 87 and 88 percent were determined by Cronbach’s alpha for forest dwellers and experts, respectively. Furthermore, forest management measures showed that the forest dwellers support conservation and utilization activities generally more than rehabilitation activities. In addition, a positive significant correlation was observed amongst the quality of the implemented management by forest dwellers and a set of factors including their education level, age, agricultural income, interaction with natural resources officers, participation in training courses and the level of awareness on forest benefits. As a conclusion, an improvement of awareness and knowledge of forest dwellers on forest management is suggested.
