摘要 本研究用定性 GIS 补充了空间面板计量经济学技术，以分析卢旺达火山国家公园内与偷猎活动和未经授权的资源使用相关的综合保护-开发项目分布的时空变化。对来自护林员监测的数据进行了聚类和空间回归分析，其中包含超过 35,000 个火山国家公园非法活动的综合观察数据，并对照 2006-2015 年旅游收入分享和保护非政府组织资助数据。通过关键知情人访谈的定性 GIS 分析丰富了结果。我们发现，在火山国家公园，整体综合保护与开发投资对未经授权的资源使用存在统计显着的负线性效应。然而，就个体而言，卢旺达旅游收入分享政策的资金并没有产生与保护非政府组织资金的显着负面影响相比的效果。在非政府组织资金和旅游收入共享资金之间的另一个对比中，空间分析显示收入共享资金相对于非法活动热点存在显着差距，但非政府组织资金不存在这些差距。定性 GIS 分析的见解表明，决策者优先顺序的不一致至少部分解释了收入分享和保护非政府组织投资的效果之间的差异。尽管综合保护与发展项目的总体结果令人鼓舞，但我们建议加强项目资金与非法活动集群的空间协调，这可以使投资决策更加数据驱动，并使项目对保护更加有效。
Abstract This study supplements spatial panel econometrics techniques with qualitative GIS to analyse spatio-temporal changes in the distribution of integrated conservation–development projects relative to poaching activity and unauthorized resource use in Volcanoes National Park, Rwanda. Cluster and spatial regression analyses were performed on data from ranger monitoring containing > 35,000 combined observations of illegal activities in Volcanoes National Park, against tourism revenue sharing and conservation NGO funding data for 2006–2015. Results were enriched with qualitative GIS analysis from key informant interviews. We found a statistically significant negative linear effect of overall integrated conservation–development investments on unauthorized resource use in Volcanoes National Park. However, individually, funding from Rwanda's tourism revenue sharing policy did not have an effect in contrast to the significant negative effect of conservation NGO funding. In another contrast between NGO funding and tourism revenue sharing funding, spatial analysis revealed significant gaps in revenue sharing funding relative to the hotspots of illegal activities, but these gaps were not present for NGO funding. Insight from qualitative GIS analysis suggests that incongruity in prioritization by decision makers at least partly explains the differences between the effects of revenue sharing and conservation NGO investment. Although the overall results are encouraging for integrated conservation–development projects, we recommend increased spatial alignment of project funding with clusters of illegal activities, which can make investment decision-making more data-driven and projects more effective for conservation.
