Abstract: (4957 Views)
Range management cooperatives have a great role in the sustainable development of ranchers and the success of restoration programs. The present study aimed to investigate the social cohesion among rangelands beneficiaries, within two groups of members and non-members of rangelands management cooperatives in Gounbad city of Golestan province. The study population consisted of 461persons in which 210 persons were selected through Morgan sample table. Social cohesion was measured with 35 questions in three dimensions of orientation, interaction, and conflict. Results showed that social cohesion among members of range management cooperatives was greater than non-members. Also, among investigated dimensions, conflict among non-members of range management cooperatives was in the first rank while interaction was more important among members of range management cooperatives. Development and extension of range management cooperatives in order to increase the social cohesion of rangelands exploiters can promote collaborative management plans in rangeland ecosystems.
