摘要本研究考察了参与式森林管理(PFM)计划不同阶段森林使用者的参与程度，并确定了影响他们在埃塞俄比亚西南部GebRadima森林参与程度的因素。数据是通过家庭调查、关键线人访谈和焦点小组讨论从五个森林用户群体(FUG)收集的。采用参与度指数(PI)和二元Logistic回归模型对数据进行分析。结果表明，在规划、实施和监测阶段，森林使用者的PI水平分别为65.7%、59%和54.9%。Logistic回归模型显示，性别、家庭规模、教育程度、来自森林的收入、森林距家的距离、对木炭和木材采伐的限制、在决策过程中的精英支配以及缺乏激励被发现是参与程度的统计显著(P<；0.05)预测因素。因此，本研究建议政策制定者和项目设计者在制定未来森林管理实施战略时应考虑这些因素，以提高森林使用者参与森林管理活动的水平。
ABSTRACT This study examines the level of forest users’ participation at different stages of a participatory forest management (PFM) program, and identifies factors that influence their level of participation in the Gebradima forest, southwest Ethiopia. Data were collected from five forest user groups (FUGs) through household surveys, key informant interviews, and focus group discussions. A participation index (PI) and binary logistic regression model were used to analyze the data. Results revealed that the level of the forest users’ PI was 65.7%, 59%, and 54.9% at the planning, implementation, and monitoring stages, respectively. The logistic regression model showed that gender, family size, education level, income from the forest, distance of the forest from home, restriction on charcoal and timber harvesting, elite domination in decision-making processes, and lack of incentives were found to be statistically significant (P < 0.05) predictors for the level of participation. Thus, this study suggests that policy-makers and project designers should consider these factors in making future PFM implementation strategies to improve the level of forest users’ participation in forest management activities.
