This study aims to contribute an effort to such challenges by analyzing the interaction of rural households with forest products in Myanmar. Data were collected using face-to-face questionnaire interviews with 218 households and conducting a rapid tree inventory across 132 circular random plots in selected rural communities around four townships of the Katha District. The empirical results indicate that the 95% of rural households were entirely dependent on forest products. The survey documented 13 main forest products and 54 tree species, which were primarily used for household consumption. Low-income households compared with medium- and high-income households with low educational level ( p < 0.05 ）和一个小的农业土地区域（ p < 0.05 发现）是更依赖森林的家庭。据报道，非法伐木，采矿，燃料木收集，砍伐农业以及建立森林种植园是森林产品耗尽的主要原因。这项研究的结果虽然在微观层面，但缅甸林业部可以将其用作基线信息，以改善基于社区的森林管理活动。SN -1687-9368 UR -https：//doi.org/10.1155/2017/2105012 do -10.1155/2017/2017/2105012 JF-国际森林研究杂志PB- Hindawi KW- hindawi kw -er-- er-- er-
