摘要：
This study was intended to find out the benefits of forests, especially for non-wood forest products (NWFPs), to forest-dependent local people and the relation to their socio-economic status. Sampling (169 respondents) was chosen to be an equal distribution of household's economic status. The survey was conducted face to face with structural interviews using both open-and closed-ended questions. The results showed that bamboo and bamboo shoot were considered as the most collected NWFPs in the Bago Yoma region. The average consumptions of NWFPs were 302.50 +/- 90.12 viss to 501.27 +/- 120.65 viss. Furthermore, the research revealed that the collection of NWFPs showed negative correlation with income availability and livestock possession. The study aims to help provide the necessary information for sustainable forest management.
