| Abstract | Abstract The coordinated relationship between Nature Reserves (NRs) and adjacent communities has a significant impact on both these local communities and conservation management practices. However, the precise relationship between NRs and their surrounding communities remains poorly understood, whether it is coordinated or unbalanced? This study employed a matrix analysis approach alongside a coordination degree model to assess the relationship and the degree of coordination between the Xiaoheishan NRs (Xhs NRs) and local communities. In addition, a structural equation model was used to analyze the factors that influence the degree of coordination between the Xhs NRs and adjacent communities. Taking into account the willingness of these communities, a prospective development model was proposed. The results of the study revealed that: (1) the relationship between the Xhs NRs and their surrounding communities was predominantly characterized by a protection‐oriented approach, particularly in the subprotected regions of Xhs, Dxs, and Jzs. (2) The path analysis revealed that the level of dependence, knowledge, and cost perception among the Xhs NRs communities had a direct negative influence on the degree of coordination. Conversely, the attitudes and perceived benefits to the Xhs NRs had a direct positive effect. (3) The pathway to future development involves a triple model approach: a public participation model, an economic model that focuses on mutual benefits and a protection and poverty alleviation model. The relationship between NRs and surrounding communities should be accurately defined; and the contradiction between protection and development should be fully coordinated. To achieve coordinated development of NRs and communities that reside close by, the Xhs NRs, along with other smaller and scattered NRs, should actively involve the public, particularly local communities, in conservation management. 摘要 自然保护区与周边社区的协调关系,对当地社区 发展 和保护管理实践有着重大影响。然而,目前二者之间的确切关系是协同还是失衡,仍知之甚少。本研究采用矩阵分析方法和协调度模型,评估了小黑山自然保护区与周边社区的关系模式和二者之间的协调程度;采用结构方程模型,分析了影响小黑山自然保护区与邻近社区协调程度的因素 ; 结合社区发展意愿,提出了未来潜在的发展模式。研究结果表明:(1)小黑山自然保护区与周边社区的关系主要以保护为导向,这一特性在小黑山、大雪山和江中山子保护区尤为明显。(2)路径分析显示,小黑山自然保护区周边社区对保护区的依赖程度、社区的知识水平和社区对保护区建立带来的成本感知对协调程度有直接的负面影响;社区对该保护区的态度和对保护区建立带来的收益感知则对协调程度有直接的积极影响。(3)未来的 潜在 发展途径包括三种模式:公众参与模式、以互利共赢为核心的经济模式、保护和扶贫相结合模式。在未来的保护管理中,应准确界定自然保护区与周边社区的关系,充分协调保护与发展的矛盾。为实现自然保护区与周边社区的协调发展,小黑山自然保护区及其他规模较小、分布零散的自然保护区,应积极吸纳公众尤其是当地社区参与到保护管理中。【审阅:郭雪艳】 Plain language summary There are conflicts between the Longling Xiaoheishan Nature Reserves (Xhs NRs) in Yunnan, China, and their surrounding communities. Comprehending the precise nature of this relationship and the factors contributing to these conflicts is crucial for enhancing the effectiveness of conservation management. Our findings indicate that the Xhs NRs predominantly adhere to a conservation model that compromises local community development. The establishment and policies of the Xhs NRs have significantly impacted the traditional livelihoods of local communities. Furthermore, the tensions arising from these impacts on livelihoods pose a considerable threat to the effectiveness of conservation management. Our study also revealed that the local communities' perception of negative impacts associated with the establishment of the Xhs NRs, such as loss of income and wildlife destruction, had a more substantial influence on their attitudes toward the Xhs NRs and their perception of harmony, compared to the perceived positive impacts. We believe that to resolve the conflicts between the Xhs NRs and adjacent communities, conservation managers should engage some external forces. This includes the introduction of external projects aligned with local development needs, with particular emphasis on the involvement of local communities. In this way, conservation and development can be better coordinated. 通俗语言摘要 龙陵小黑山自然保护区与周边社区间存在一定的矛盾冲突。了解二者之间的关系及其影响因素,对于提高保护管理的有效性至关重要。研究结果表明,小黑山自然保护区采用的保护模式会一定程度上影响当地社区的发展,保护区的建立及其推行的政策也会极大地影响当地社区的传统生计。此外,由于生计受到影响而产生的紧张关系也对保护管理的有效性构成极大威胁。研究结果还显示,小黑山自然保护区带来的影响,如收入损失和野生动物破坏事件,也会影响当地居民对保护区的态度以及对二者之间协调程度的看法。为解决小黑山自然保护区与z社区之间的矛盾冲突,管理者可借助一些外部力量,比如引入符合当地保护与发展需求的外部项目,且应强调当地社区的参与,以此更好地促进保护与发展的良性协同。 Practitioner points Understanding the precise relationship between Nature Reserves and communities is a crucial part of Nature Reserve–community conflict resolution. Conservation managers should strive to mitigate the perceived negative impacts of Nature Reserves on local communities and take active steps to address these adverse effects. Involving the public, particularly local communities, in conservation management is pivotal. The introduction of external projects, such as ecotourism initiatives or local infrastructure enhancements, represents a future pathway for achieving coordinated development between Nature Reserves and adjacent communities. 实践者要点 了解自然保护区与社区之间的关系是解决自然保护区与社区冲突的关键。 管理人员应采取积极措施努力减轻并消除自然保护区对当地社区的负面影响。 公众尤其是当地社区参与保护管理至关重要。引入外部项目,例如生态旅游、基础设施改善等,是实现自然保护区与周边社区协调发展的有效途径。 |
