| Abstract | This stud y is to assess t he local people's capabilities in forest management
under the people's initiated project, namely, "Human Beings in love with the
Forest" which is aimed to recommend guidelines for decentralized forest
management. The project is a tool to solve connects over use and control of
forest land between local people a nd t he local government in t he Forest Reserves
Area, namely, "Dong Mae Phecl".
The specific objectives of this research were concerned with analyzing the
management practices of forest, identifying an appropriate local people's
organization for forest management, identifying scopes a nd factors influencing on
people's participation in forest management actives, a nd studying factors
contributing to the success or failure of local people's management. This research
was undertaken by using a case study a nd a field survey approach covering
exploratory descriptions.
Both traditional a n d people's initiated projects of forest management existed
which provided ecological and economical benefits to rural people. Local forest
management systems were well practiced because of active local organization a nd
powerful leaders. Most of promoted local organizations were not effective due to
lack of supports from the local government. There was a need to integrate both
promoted and natural local organization s in order to undertake rural development
activities effectively. People's participation jn forest management activities was
mainly encouraged by local leaders a nd community cohesion. However, rural
people have limitations of technical knowledge.
Finally, model of conservation network, a nd guidelines for community-based
forest management, a nd stimulating and sustaining people's participation in forest
management, as well as for other rural development activities, were recommend ed. |
