ArticleStudy on residents’ willingness to accept based on double-bounded dichotomous CVM: a case study of Qianjiangyuan National Park pilot, China
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022
2022Also available in:
No results found.This study, by taking Qianjiangyuan National Park Pilot as an example, was to analyze community residents' willingness to accept(WTA) for ecological benefits, and the influencing factors, so as to provide some reference for the future policy. Questionnaire survey was conducted on the spot. Guided by the double-bounded dichotomous contingent valuation method (CVM), this study calculated WTA and analyzed its influencing factors. The estimated WTA is 155.37 yuan RMB per mu per year, which is much higher than the current compensation implemented in this area. Respondents' family characteristics (including the number of household labor force, agroforestry income proportion, location, etc.) are more important and significant in their WTA decision-making. The respondents' cognition towards the National Park also affected their choice of WTA. Most of the respondents agreed that the priority goal of the National Park is "ecological protection", and the preferred WTA of the respondents who have this recognition will also be reduced. However, there are still some community residents who do not know the National Park clearly. Therefore, it is necessary to further strengthen the publicity and education work of the National Park to enhance residents' awareness.

ArticlePower imbalances, social inequalities and gender roles as barriers to true participation in national park management: The case of Korup National Park, Cameroon
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022

No results found.Forest resource management has undergone profound changes in the last decades, including a tendency to apply participatory approach that seeks to involve local communities. However, the success of the participatory approach tends to remain dependent on the historical and societal context in question. To understand how the participation of forest communities has been changing as a result of the enforcement or non-enforcement of forest management practices, we carried out a study in Cameroon’s Korup National Park, with villages within and outside the park that continue to utilise the resources in the park. The empirical research included focus group discussions and semi-structured interviews in three communities and key informant interviews with selected community members, government officials, and non-governmental organisations involved in the park’s management. Research findings show that although the forest management system has changed in various policy documents, over the past years from a top-down to participatory approach, a centralised state system is still operational in the national park, with participatory approaches used merely as a legitimizing tool. We show how the existing horizontal power relations (such as gender roles within the communities) and vertical power relations (such as government-community dimensions) simultaneously impact the outcomes of participatory approaches on the ground. Finally, our case shows how the existing governance structures continue to reproduce inequalities and exclusions that originated from the colonial times and through path dependency still influence livelihoods and day-to-day survival of people in the communities ID: 3617612 -
DocumentStudy on Chinese herders’ preference for grassland ecological compensation and its impact factors — Based on the survey of two counties in Qinghai Province
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022

No results found.China's Grassland covers an area of 390 million hectares, accounting for more than 40% of the total land area. It is the largest terrestrial ecosystem in China. After the institutional reform of the State Council, the State Forestry and Grassland Administration (NFGA) became the department in charge of grassland and forest. NFGA began to explore the long-term mechanism for Grassland Ecological Compensation (GEC). Qinghai Province is the main pastoral region in China, and it is also the water source of Yangtze River, Yellow River and Lantsang River (Mekong River), where there are different herders with different Religious Belief and Minority. It is of great significance for the formulation of long-term GEC mechanism and the implementation of precise policies to study the local herders’ preference for GEC and its influencing factors. Based on 340 questionnaires from Qilian County and Menyuan County in Qinghai Province, this study selects three compensation methods, fund compensation (FC), policy compensation (PC) and substantial compensation (SC), as dependent variables, and takes demographic characteristics, family characteristics, grassland characteristics, policy cognition and other factors as independent variables. Disordered Multiple Logistic Regression Analysis was used in this study. The results show that 69.71% of respondents prefer FC, 20.29% prefer PC, and 10% prefer MC. The impact of some independent variable involved county, demographic characteristics, Family characteristics, grassland characteristics on herders’ preference for GEC means is significant. It is found that policy cognition has no significant to the preference. Therefore, the study believes that FC is still the main compensation method for a period of time, but it should be more diversified and detailed for different groups and their demands in the sustainable compensation mechanism and policy design.
