Evaluation of the views of key stakeholders on the implementation of rangeland management plans: A case study of Torbat-e-Jam city
Awareness of knowledge and attitude of rangeland owners towards the problems and management of this ecosystem is essential for decision making and planning. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the views of rangers and natural resources experts on the impact of the implementation of rangeland projects as well as their participation and cooperation in the success of these projects. The study area was the city of Torbat-e Jam. Examining the rangeland management plans of Torbat-e-Jam city from 1993 to 2014, it was found that five plans in Bashirabad, Cheshmeh Gol, Goyi, Timanak Sofla, and Jahanabad areas have been implemented. The statistical population of the study includes 464 farmers who are pastoralists with grazing licenses. Using Cochran's formula, 186 samples were systematically randomly selected and questioned. Then, from the statistical analysis of the data and by examining all the measured variables and components, it was found that there is a significant linear relationship between the views of regional stakeholders and economic, educational, social participation, and institutional cooperation. The results showed that the most important components affecting the view of stakeholders to participate in rangeland projects are the study of economic and social needs before the approval of projects and approval of projects following the needs of villagers, including income and housing, and selection of executors from among stakeholders. It is suggested that to improve the results of watershed management projects in the study area, continuous coordination between the extension departments of the cities to hold orientation, training, and cooperation-oriented classes in the field of proper rangeland management should be on the agenda.
