A Case Study On The Utilization Model Of The Resources In China Nature Reserves

This study is about the utilization of the resources in the Protected Areas. The utilization models of the tangible and intangible assets are given. The activities of local people living around the nature reserves have important influences on the structure of forest communities. This study focused on the influences, which come from the firewood collecting by the local people, on the distribution of arbors. Through the investigation in 10 villages near the Wanglang nature reserve, the income levels of the villages were divided into 3 ranks using the K-means Cluster, and 3 villages, which are the closest to the average values of each rank, were chosen to do the detailed analysis. At 90 sites around these 3 villages, some information was recorded on the characteristics of arbors (species, height, diameter at breast height, and percentage of cover) and shrubbery (species, height, quantity, percentage of cover, basal diameter and weight). Based on these data, the results indicated that the cumulative quality of the timber and the tree density relative to the one of shrubby both were the function of the distance to the center of the village (independent variable). By using the SPSS (Statistical Program for Social Sciences), regressive curves estimation was made in 10 math models. From the results of estimating, significant difference could not be found among the 3 villages so that the conclusion can be made as follow: the economic gaps existing in these 3 villages didn't affect obviously the distribution of the arbors. It is because that the economic differences lying among the 3 villages are not significant enough to cause the changing on the approaches and the quantities of firewood collection of the local people. In addition, the results of curve estimation show that the R2 reaches the peak when comparing the function between the independent variable and the cumulative quality of the timber with the Logistic Model. Simultaneously, the maximum R2 appeared when we compared the function curve composed by the independent variable and the tree density relative to the one of shrubby with the Growth Model. On the base of the data analysis, the"non-economy-area"model is put forward. Recently, in China the number of protected areas grows rapidly, but the managing capacity is left far behind the steps. The importance of effective management of the protected areas has not yet been...
