dc.description.abstractThis study investigates local community perceptions of forest ecosystem services within protected areas of Turkey’s Eastern Black Sea region, focusing on socio-economic, cultural, and geographic influences. Surveys conducted with 200 participants across six conservation sites revealed high awareness of key services including air quality regulation, erosion control, biodiversity conservation, recreation, and cultural heritage. Perceptions varied significantly with age, education, income source, and proximity to protected areas. Opinions on environmental protection measures and local participation were mixed, highlighting a pronounced need for enhanced education and participatory governance. The findings emphasize the importance of integrating traditional ecological knowledge and local socio-cultural factors into management strategies to support sustainable conservation.
