چکیده

زراعت-چوب یکی از راهکارهای مؤثر برای تأمین پایدار منابع چوبی، کاهش فشار بر جنگل‌های طبیعی و حفاظت از محیط‌زیست است. این فعالیت نه‌تنها به تأمین مواد اولیه برای صنایع چوبی کمک می‌کند، بلکه موجب افزایش پوشش گیاهی، ایجاد زیستگاه امن برای گونه‏های گیاهی و جانوری، بهبود کیفیت خاک و کاهش انتشار گازهای گلخانه‌ای می‌شود. علاوه بر این، زراعت چوب می‌تواند فرصت‌های اقتصادی برای جوامع محلی ایجاد کند و موجب اشتغال‌زایی شود. در راستای این مهم، پژوهش حاضر با هدف کلی بررسی موانع مشارکت جوامع محلی در زراعت چوب انجام شد. جامعة ‏آماری مورد مطالعه شامل کلیة خانوارهای روستایی و کشاورز در شهرستان باوی (استان خوزستان) بود. حجم نمونه با استفاده از جدول کرجسی و مورگان تعداد 350 نفر تعیین و نمونه ‏ها با روش نمونه ‏گیری طبقه‏ای با انتساب متناسب برای مطالعه انتخاب شدند. تجزیه‌و‌تحلیل داده‏ها توسط نرم‏افزارهای SPSSwin27 و Lisrel8.8 انجام شد. نتایج اولویت ‏بندی نشان داد که دو عامل «پایین بودن قیمت چوب و نبود قیمت تضمینی» و «فقدان طرح‌ها و برنامه‌های جامع در حوزة زراعت چوب» مهمترین مانع از دیدگاه جوامع محلی هستند. علاوه بر این، نتایج تحلیل عاملی اکتشافی و تأییدی موانع مشارکت جوامع را در عامل‏های موانع آموزشی، موانع اقتصادی، موانع اجتماعی، موانع روانشناختی و موانع قانونی و اقلیمی خلاصه کرد که در مجموع حدود 68 درصد از واریانس سازة هدف را تبیین نمود.

چکیده [English]

Wood- farming is a key strategy for the sustainable supply of wood resources, reducing pressure on natural forests, and protecting the environment. This practice not only supports the wood industry by providing raw materials but also enhances vegetation cover, creates safe habitats for plant and animal species, improves soil quality, and mitigates greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, wood agriculture contributes to economic development by generating employment opportunities for local communities. This study aims to investigate the barriers to local community participation in wood agriculture, focusing on rural farming households in Bavi County, Khuzestan Province. Using the Krejci and Morgan table, a sample size of 350 respondents was determined and selected through stratified sampling with proportional allocation. Data analysis was conducted using SPSSwin27 and Lisrel8.54 software. The prioritization results identified low wood prices and the absence of guaranteed pricing as the most significant barriers from the perspective of local communities. In addition, the results of exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis summarized the barriers to community participation into the factors of educational barriers, economic barriers, social barriers, psychological barriers, and legal and climate barriers, which in total explained about 68% of the variance of the target construct.
