Résumé documentaire — langue originale

This study compares between Nahai, a lowland settlement village, and Huai-muang, an upland settlement village, located in Sopsai watershed, Nan Province, Northern Thailand in terms of their collective behaviors and management practices associated with their forest health. The forest areas in both villages are classified into 2 zones according to villagers’ collective choices in uses and management: conservation zone (CZ) and utilization zone (UZ). In the CZ, collective rules are very strict for the purpose of watershed head protection while people have more access to use and manage forest resources in UZ. The findings of forest resources inventory found that: (1) there are no substantial differences in forest succession and proportion in DBH-class, and Height-class distribution between UZ and CZ, and (2) there is better regeneration and biodiversity in UZ than CZ. Forests in UZ also showed the higher density (particularly in total seedling and sapling density), and presence of higher number of multipurpose and preferred species than CZ. Moreover, basal area of Pterocarpus macrocarpus (which is the most useful tree species) is double in UZ than in CZ. The analysis showed that tree-planting program for watershed head rehabilitation had little impact on density and biodiversity. Therefore resource extraction under clear defined users and certain intensity can be not only benefited for forest areas themselves but for landscape level as forest patches have been restored among agricultural landuses. These findings also emphasize the importance of collective decisions in rules and different bundles of rights in forest resource health and productivity of forest resources managed by the villagers themselves. The interventions for institutional development particularly in formal recognition of people right over land and resources are necessary toward the community-based approaches.
