摘　　要：Local community participation in forest management is pivotal since they are familiar with the forest environment.In the successful management of community forestry(CF),both males and females along with the representation of poor and disadvantaged groups are of vital importance.This research compares the users’perception in community forest management(CFM)activities,and socio-economic variables influencing participation in studied community forestry user groups(CFUGs).Primary data were collected through reconnaissance surveys,interviewing key informants,focus group discussions,and household surveys.Secondary data were collected from the division forest office,CFUGs’operational plan(OP)and Constitution,internet,and authenticated websites.The chi-square(χ^(2))test was applied to test separately association variables like gender,caste,age class,education level,and wealth ranking with participation.Using ordered logit regression,the variables affecting participation in OP and constitution-making,Silvicultural activities,Forest products collection,and CF fund mobilization were quantified.Gender and Education were found to be the most promising factor influencing participation in Jagriti CFUG and Jhankrikhola CFUG respectively.In general,higher caste,older age,and rich people dominate the major decision-making activities.However,lower caste and poor people have been involved comparatively more in Forest product collection.地方社区居民因为熟悉森林环境,因此他们在森林管理中的参与至关重要。本研究比较了社区森林管理活动中用户的感知,以及影响社区森林用户群体参与的社会经济变量。通过勘察调查、采访关键人物、焦点小组讨论和家庭调查收集了一手数据。从区域林业办公室、社区森林用户群体运营计划和组织制度、互联网和认证网站收集了二手数据。分别采用χ^(2)检验来测试性别、种姓、年龄阶层、教育水平和财富阶层等变量与参与的关联性。利用有序logit回归,定量分析了影响运营计划和组织制度制定、林业活动、森林产品收集和社区森林资金筹集的因素。在Jagriti和Jhankrikhola的社区森林用户群体中,性别和教育被发现是影响参与的最重要的因素。总的来说,较高的种姓、年龄较大和富人主导着主要的决策活动。然而,较低的种姓和贫困人群在森林产品收集方面相对参与更多。
