Abstract

This study examined determinant factors of forest management practices along with its level of effect in six purposively selected rural kebeles by the forest area of Shashemene Worada, West Arsi Zone. The study followed a cross-sectional study design with qualitative and quantitative research approach used to investigate determinant factors of FMP at a point in time. 130 respondents was the parent population used, and the data which collected with use of purposive sampling techniques analyzed using descriptive statistics (percentages), Mean, analysis of variance, correlation help to identify factors related to the household’s attitudes and intentions. With standard rule of significance level of α = 0.05 at a value of P<0.05, significant relationship between agricultural land expansion as a result of land scarcity and forest management were statistically, obtained. Agricultural land expansion come out as a result of land scarcity was, thus, the major bleeding factor for forest degradation and depletion causes. According to analysis conducted in this study that income, gender, and land size as well as the management regimes found influencing awareness of forest benefits. Besides, distance travelled from residential place of the household to market as well as forest posed an influence over the use of forest products. Relying upon results obtained, this study concluded with recommendation of some possible solutions to the study area, pertinently.
