Özet:

 Aim of study: National parks establishment was stimulated by conservation. However, conflicts exist with park managers and rustic communities hosting the park. The need to regulate utilization of forest resources by man to ensuring peaceful coexistence becomes necessary. Area of study: Okomu National Park, Edo State, Nigeria was the study area. Material and methods: One hundred and fifty respondents from host communities and 20 staff of Okomu National Park were randomly selected and structured questionnaire administered to them. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics.

Destruction of farms by fauna and inability of park managers to fulfill their social responsibilities 20.0 Staff and inability of park to carry out social responsibility 20.0 communities were the major conflict sources. Dialog 26.0 and intensive support zone programme 20.0 were suggested by community and staff respectively for peaceful coexistence.

The underlying cause is deprivation of host communities from accessing resources and parks manager inability to fulfill their social responsibilities. Conflict resolution method of supply of palliativebenefit from park to communities will aid parks conservation.

 Çalışmanın amacı: Milli parkların oluşumu koruma ile teşvik edilmiştir. Ancak, park yöneticileri ve parkı barındıran rustik topluluklarla çatışma var. Barışçıl bir arada yaşamayı sağlamak için orman kaynaklarının insan tarafından kullanımını düzenleme ihtiyacı gerekli hale geliyor. Çalışma alanı: Okomu Ulusal Parkı, Edo Eyaleti, Nijerya çalışma alanıdır. Materyal ve yöntem: Ev sahibi topluluklardan yüz elli katılımcı ve Okomu Milli Parkının 20 personeli, yapılandırılmış anket kullanılarak rastgele seçilmiştir. Veriler tanımlayıcı istatistikler kullanılarak analiz edildi. Sonuçlar: Topluluk üyelerinin çoğu 86.0 parka rehberlik eden yasanın farkındaydı, ancak park görevlileri tarafından farkındalık yaratılmasına 80.0 bakılmaksızın kararlıydı 40.0. Çiftliklerin fauna tarafından tahrip edilmesi ve park yöneticilerinin sosyal sorumluluklarını yerine getirememesi 20.0 Personel ve parkın sosyal sorumluluğu yerine getirememesi 20.0 topluluklar başlıca çatışma kaynaklarıydı. Barış içinde bir arada yaşama için diyalog 26.0 ve yoğun destek bölgesi programı 20.0 sırasıyla toplum ve personel tarafından önerildi. Önemli vurgular: Ev sahibi topluluklar ve park yönetimi arasında çatışmalar belirgindi. Bunun altında yatan neden, ev sahibi toplulukların kaynaklara erişimden yoksun kalması ve park yöneticilerinin sosyal sorumluluklarını yerine getirememesidir. Parktan topluluklara palyatiffayda sağlamanın çatışma çözme yöntemi parkların korunmasına yardımcı olacaktır.
