Resumo: | Understand the effects of context-specific conditions on incentives, social interactions, and the likelihood of local organization is critical in supporting the sustainable management of collective tropical forests. In this vein, this study sought to analyze the causal relationships between factors in the context of the central rainforest of the Colombian Pacific that create barriers to local communities' cooperation in commercial logging management and control. The Socio-ecological Systems Analysis Framework was used and fed with information from a literature review and 24 interviews conducted with key informants in the area. We found that the mechanisms formally established for administering and managing collective forests have failed to encourage user cooperation and have ineffective control of free access to the increasingly scarce forest resource. We were able to identify and explain the causal importance of seven local context variables concerning the generation of disincentives to cooperation. The variables were: forest area extent, representative mechanisms in place, formulation and relevance of resource use and management regulations, appropriation by local institutions, timber trade intermediaries, low socioeconomic development, and multilevel forest management hierarchies. The results of this study hope also to help identify more effective strategies to directly involve local communities and engage them in the management and control of collective tropical forests. |

En este sentido, el propósito de este estudio fue analizar las relaciones causales entre factores del contexto del bosque pluvial central del Pacífico colombiano que crean barreras a la cooperación de las comunidades locales en el manejo y control de la extracción forestal comercial. Se utilizó el Marco de Análisis de Sistemas Socioecológicos (MSES) alimentado con información proveniente de una revisión de literatura y la aplicación de 24 entrevistas a informantes claves de la zona. Se encontró que los mecanismos formalmente establecidos para la administración y manejo del bosque colectivo no han logrado alentar la cooperación de los usuarios y han sido poco eficaces en controlar el libre acceso al recurso forestal, que es cada vez más escaso. Se logró identificar y explicar la importancia causal de siete variables del contexto local en relación con la generación de desincentivos a la cooperación. Estas variables fueron: extensión de las áreas de bosques, operación de los mecanismos de representación, formulación y pertinencia de los reglamentos de uso y manejo del recurso, apropiación de las instituciones locales, intermediarios del comercio de la madera, bajo desarrollo socioeconómico y manejo forestal en jerarquías multinivel. Se espera que los resultados de este estudio también ayuden a identificar estrategias más efectivas para involucrar directamente a las comunidades locales y lograr su compromiso con el manejo y control de los bosques tropicales colectivos.Universidade Federal de Santa Maria2023-06-21info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsm.br/cienciaflorestal/article/view/7011510.5902/1980509870115Ciência Florestal; Vol. 33 No. 2 (2023): Publicação Contínua; e70115Ciência Florestal; v. 33 n. 2 (2023): Publicação Contínua; e701151980-50980103-9954reponame:Ciência Florestal (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (UFSM)instacron:UFSMspahttps://periodicos.ufsm.br/cienciaflorestal/article/view/70115/61099Copyright (c) 2023 Ciência Florestalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSanabria-Botero, Julio RicardoAsprilla-Perea, Jeferson2023-06-23T19:50:33Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/70115Revistahttp://www.ufsm.br/cienciaflorestal/ONGhttps://old.scielo.br/oai/scielo-oai.php||cienciaflorestal@ufsm.br|| cienciaflorestal@gmail.com|| cf@smail.ufsm.br1980-50980103-9954opendoar:2023-06-23T19:50:33Ciência Florestal (Online) - Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (UFSM)false |
