ABSTRACT
The objectives of the study were to determine the socio-economic condition, general
information, opinion level and factors affecting people’s opinions on forest resource conservation
surrounding Khao Khiao-Khao Chom Phu Wildlife Sanctuary, Chonburi province. Data
were collected by employing a designed questionnaire with 302 respondents. The obtained
data were analyzed and represented in term of the statistical values of percentage, mean,
minimum, maximum and testing the setting hypothesis by employing t-test and F-test
analysis with the given significance level of 0.05.
The results of the study indicated that most respondents were male (70.50%) with
an average age of 41.30 years. Their educational level was to the primary school level.
Most respondents were born in the present area and their average resettled period was
30.50 years. The average number of household members was 4.3. The main occupation
of most respondents was casual labor with no subsidiary occupation. The average annual
household income and expenditure were 159,818.10 and 133,062.50 baht, respectively. The
average size of land holding was 4.60 rai. Most respondents had never received relevant
conservation information (84.80%) and had never attended any training courses (86.80%)
about forest resource conservation. Their knowledge about forest resource conservation
was at a high level.
Factors affecting the opinions on forest resource conservation were the educational
level, forest resource conservation training course attendance and knowledge about forest
resource conservation. Hence, the related government agencies should arrange relevant
training courses to provide the information that can lead to increased understanding by the
people in the target group about the significance of forest resource conservation. Finally,
people’s awareness of forest resource values as well as participation levels in forest resource
conservation would be raised.
