Forest fringe communities have considerable knowledge of the value of forests. Quantitative forms of such knowledge can provide useful insights to complement scientific knowledge in forest resource management. Nonetheless, little attention has been given to the relevance of quantitative forms of such knowledge. A questionnaire survey of a sample of 92 farmers from six communities in Ghana engaged in smallholder forest plantation establishment was used to gather data on forest values and management strategies. Principal component analysis was employed in the data analysis. The results showed that ‘recreation’ (component 1) is dominated by direct use values and ‘habitat for wildlife’ (component 2), is dominated by indirect use values. In addition to filling the gap created by declining timber resources from natural forests, this study provides useful information on how smallholder plantations can be profitably managed for market and non-market values.

农民的森林价值观和对加纳国家储备地建立的小农林人工林管理战略的偏爱

森林边缘社区对森林的价值有相当的了解。这种知识的定量形式可以提供有用的见解,以补充森林资源管理中的科学知识。然而,很少有人关注这种知识的定量形式的相关性。对来自加纳六个社区从事小农户人工林建设的92名农民的样本进行了问卷调查,以收集有关森林价值和管理策略的数据。在数据分析中采用了主成分分析。结果表明,“娱乐”(组成部分1)由直接使用价值决定,而“野生动植物栖息地”(组成部分2)由间接使用价值决定。除了填补因天然林木材资源减少而造成的缺口之外,
