地方自然资源管理有多种表现形式，其核心原则是增强边缘和弱势家庭管理宝贵自然资源的能力，以改善社会和经济平等，保护生物多样性。然而，旨在确定影响的研究往往显示出不一致的结果。通过构建综合环境和社会核算矩阵（ESAM），我们旨在评估不同行业和不同生计如何使用自然资源，从而为社区带来不同的直接和间接利益。这项研究是在纳米比亚的Sikunga保护区进行的，该保护区管理着赞比西河地区的野生动物和鱼类资源。我们村一级的ESAM显示了一种严重不利于偏远家庭的经济结构，并确定了一个从自然资源的使用中获益匪浅的小经济部门。ESAM方法能够隔离不利的社会经济发展，如不平等的利益分享，这阻碍了社区发展。
Local natural resource management in its diverse manifestations holds core to its principles that the marginal and vulnerable households are empowered to manage valuable natural resources to improve social and economic equality and conserve biodiversity. Yet studies aiming to identify the impacts often show inconsistent results. Through constructing an integrated Environmental and Social Accounting Matrix (ESAM), we aim to assess how natural resources are used in different sectors and by different livelihoods, thus delivering different direct and indirect benefits to the community. The study was conducted in Namibia’s Sikunga Conservancy, which manages wildlife and fish resources in the Zambezi region. Our village-level ESAM shows an economic structure that strongly disadvantages remote households and identifies a small sector of the economy that benefits significantly from the use of natural resources. The ESAM approach is able to isolate undesirable socioeconomic developments such as unequal benefit sharing, which hinders community development.
