尽管数十年来的持续研究强调了维龙加-布温迪地块山地大猩猩保护的生物学成功，但人们对生活在山地大猩猩公园附近的人是否从保护区（PA）中获益知之甚少。本文是该地区第一份使用可持续生计框架来了解当地对巴勒斯坦权力机构惠益看法的驱动因素的研究。我们使用logit回归来研究家庭社会经济特征与752名居住在山地大猩猩PA附近的男性和女性的成本和收益之间的关系。维龙加-布温迪地块的综合保护和发展项目（ICDP）改善了人们对山地大猩猩保护区的看法，但他们需要优先考虑改善人力和社会资本的项目。人们对利益分配不公平表示失望，这突出表明需要进一步开展社会公平研究，以确保包括收入分享计划在内的综合社区发展方案得到透明和公平的管理。
Summary Despite decades of continuous research highlighting the biological success of mountain gorilla conservation in the Virunga-Bwindi Massif, there is little knowledge of whether people living near the mountain gorilla parks perceive benefits from protected areas (PAs). This paper is the first study in the region to use the sustainable livelihoods framework to understand drivers of local perceptions of PA benefits. We used a logit regression to examine the relationship between household socioeconomic characteristics and the costs and benefits that 752 men and women living near mountain gorilla PAs reported. Integrated conservation and development projects (ICDPs) in the Virunga-Bwindi Massif have improved perceptions of mountain gorilla PAs, but they need to prioritize projects that improve human and social capital. The frustration voiced about inequitable benefit distribution highlights the need for further social equity research to ensure ICDPs, including revenue-sharing schemes, are managed transparently and equitably.
