尽管保护区很普遍，但它们对人类影响的证据很薄弱，在保护政策中仍然存在激烈争议。这场辩论中的一个关键问题是，社会经济影响是否因社会分组而异。鉴于社会不平等会造成冲突并阻碍减贫，了解保护区如何对人们产生不同的影响，对于设计保护区以实现社会和生物目标至关重要。了解对保护区的不同反应可以改进管理活动的针对性，并有助于阐明保护区产生影响的途径。在这里，我们评估了海洋保护区（MPAs）的社会经济影响-旨在实现保护和消除贫困的目标-根据印度尼西亚北苏拉威西岛相关村庄的年龄，性别或宗教而有所不同。使用数据从前，中期和实施后的海洋保护区的控制和项目村，我们发现很少有经验证据表明，五个关键的社会经济指标的影响与贫困不同，根据社会分组。我们发现提示性的经验证据表明，海洋保护区对环境知识的影响因年龄和宗教而异;从中长期来看，年轻人和穆斯林分别比老年人和基督徒表现出更大的改善。
Despite the prevalence of protected areas, evidence of their impacts on people is weak and remains hotly contested in conservation policy. Akey question in this debate is whether socioeconomic impacts vary according to social subgroup. Given that social inequity can create conflict and impede poverty reduction, understanding how protected areas differentially affect people is critical to designing them to achieve social and biological goals. Understanding heterogeneous responses to protected areas can improve targeting of management activities and help elucidate the pathways through which impacts of protected areas occur. Here, we assessed whether the socioeconomic impacts of marine protected areas (MPAs)-designed to achieve goals for both conservation and poverty alleviation-differed according to age, gender or religion in associated villages in North Sulawesi, Indonesia. Using data from pre-, mid- and post-implementation of the MPAs for control and project villages, we found little empirical evidence that impacts on five key socioeconomic indicators related to poverty differed according to social subgroup. We found suggestive empirical evidence that the effect of the MPAs on environmental knowledge differed by age and religion; over the medium and long terms, younger people and Muslims showed greater improvements compared with older people and Christians, respectively.
