Abstract

Ormanların yönetimi, korunması ve geliştirilmesinde orman algısı en temel etmenlerdendir. Böylece, bu çalışma ile Kastamonu Orman Bölge Müdürlüğü'ne bağlı üç orman işletme şefliği sınırları içerisinde yer alan 6 farklı orman köyünde insanların ormanla olan ilişkileri ve geliştirdikleri koruma bilincinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde, cinsiyet farkındalığına göre bağımsız örneklem t-testi, yaş ve eğitim düzeyinde farkındalık seviyesi için de ANOVA testi kullanılmıştır. Bağımsız örneklem t-testi ile ağaç kesmenin ormansızlaşma üzerindeki etkisi, orman algısı, orman kaynaklarının gelir yaratma açısından önemi ile erkek ve kadın durumları için hakların farkındalığına ait puanlar arasında anlamlı bir fark olduğu ortaya konmuştur. İki veya daha fazla grup arasında bağımlı değişken üzerindeki ortalama puanlarda anlamlı bir fark olup olmadığını belirlemek için Tek Yönlü ANOVA testi kullanılmıştır. Buna göre, yaş gruplarının köylülere tanınan haklarda farkındalık, ormansızlaşma üzerine toprak erozyonunun etkisi ve yasaların orman korunmaya olumlu katkısı üzerinde anlamlı (p<0.05) bir etkisi söz konusudur. Ayrıca ağaç kesiminin ve toprak erozyonunun ormansızlaşmaya etkisinde eğitim düzeyi gruplarının anlamlı (p<0.05) bir etkisi vardır.

Public Perception of Forest in Forest Villages: The Case of Hanönü Forest District Directorate in Kastamonu Province

Abstract

Public perception of the forest is fundamental in determining how forests will be managed, protected, or improved. Thus, this paper examines the forest-people relations and conservation awareness of people living in or adjacent to the forest that dependent on forest resources in 6 villages within the boundaries of three different Forest Sub-district Directorates of the Kastamonu Regional Directorates of Forestry. Statistical analysis as independent t-test mean scores by gender awareness, ANOVA level of awareness by ages, ANOVA level of awareness based on education levels were used for data analysis. It is revealed with an independent-samples t-test that there is a significant difference in the scores for effect tree cutting on deforestation; perception of the forest; the importance of forest resources in terms of income generation; and awareness of rights for male and female conditions. We used One Way ANOVA for determining if a significant difference in means scores on the dependent variable exist across two or more groups. Accordingly, there is a significant effect of age groups on at the p<0.05 level for the awareness of rights, soil erosion on deforestation, and positive contribution of laws to forest protection. Also, there is a significant effect of education level groups on at the p<0.05 level for the effect of logging on deforestation and effect of soil erosion on deforestation.
