Abstract
The purpose of this research was to investigate factors affecting forest restoration at Pon watershed area. A questionnaire was used to collect data from 187 samples. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression model. Eleven independent variables included sex, job, tribe, income, information, member, officers, distance, position, water source, and usable wood. Dependent variables consisted of people’s participation in forest conservation and restoration activities. The results showed that positive factors were officers and usable wood while an information was regarded as a negative factor. Government officers had supported and promoted forest conservation and reforestation operation, this increased understanding and cooperation between government and community. Nevertheless, sharing and receiving misinformation or false facts could create misunderstanding and confusion, and lead to the opposite direction of forest conservation and reforestation participation. Therefore, agencies responsible in promoting the conservation and restoration of watershed forests could apply knowledge in area management. However, the management should be suitable for specific forest area. Promoting reforestation with native tree species suitable for specific conditions of the area enhanced the survival rate of planted trees because villagers have gained benefits form these tree species. This will lead to effective forest conservation and reforestation at the watershed forest area.
