چکیده

دانش‌ ذی‌نفعان یکی از عناصر اساسی در مدیریت تنوع‌زیستی است. پژوهش حاضر با هدف ارزیابی دانش جامعه محلی و تأثیر آن بر وضعیت تخریب تنوع‌زیستی ادراک‌شده در منطقه حفاظت‌شده سرخ‌آباد استان زنجان با استفاده از روش‌شناسی کمی (توصیفی-همبستگی) انجام شد. با استفاده از فرمول کوکران، حجم نمونه‌ای برابر با 250 نفر از خانوارهای روستایی که وابسته به منطقه حفاظت‌شده بودند (5095N=) مشخص شد و از طریق روش نمونه‌گیری چندمرحله‌ای تصادفی انتخاب شدند. نتایج نشان داد، دانش پاسخگویان در مورد خدمات اکوسیستمی در سطح زیاد و در زمینه چالش‌های تنوع‌زیستی در حد متوسط ارزیابی گردید. نتایج تحلیل رگرسیون نشان داد، متغیرهای دانش در خصوص خدمات تأمینی اکوسیستم، دانش در خصوص تأثیر محرک‌های انسانی مربوط به فعالیت‌های ناپایدار جامعه محلی بر کاهش تنوع زیستی، دانش در خصوص تأثیر شرایط زمینه‌ای (نگرش و معیشت) ضعیف جامعه محلی بر کاهش تنوع‌زیستی، دانش در خصوص تأثیر محرک‌های انسانی ناپایدار سازمان‌های بیرونی بر کاهش تنوع زیستی، دانش در خصوص تأثیر محرک‌های مربوط به شرایط مداخله‌گری غیراثربخش بر کاهش تنوع‌زیستی و دانش در خصوص تأثیر فشارها یا مخاطرات طبیعی وارده به تنوع‌زیستی، 52 درصد از واریانس ادراک جامعه محلی در مورد وضعیت تخریب تنوع‌زیستی را تبیین کردند.

چکیده [English]

Stakeholders’ knowledge is one of the essential elements of biodiversity management. This research assesses local communities’ knowledge and its impact on the perceived biodiversity loss in the Sorkhabad Protected Area of the Zanjan Province using a quantitative (descriptive-correlational) methodology. A sample of 250 out of all rural households dependent on the protected area (N = 5095) was identified using Cochran's formula as the sample size who were selected by a multi-stage random sampling technique. The results showed that the respondents' knowledge about the ecosystem services and the challenges of biodiversity was at high and moderate levels, respectively. The results of regression analysis showed that the variables of knowledge about ecosystem provisioning services, knowledge about the impact of human factors related to unsustainable local community activities on biodiversity, knowledge about the impact of poor community livelihood conditions on biodiversity, knowledge about the impact of factors related to ineffective intervention conditions on biodiversity and knowledge about the impact of natural hazards to biodiversity accounts for 52 percent of the variance of perceived biodiversity loss in the protected areas.
