宗教信仰对人们认知甘南草地功能及管理方式的影响

Effects of religion on people's cognition of grassland function and management pattern in the Gannan region

宗教信仰通过特定的宗教仪式和活动严重影响人们认知事物的意识。本研究以甘南为例,采用网状问卷调查方式分析了宗教信仰对草地功能和管理模式认知的影响。结果表明,不同宗教信仰对草地重要性、生产功能和生态功能一致性以及人与草地之间关系认知方面存在明显差异,但所有宗教信仰者均认为人为因素是草地退化的主要因素。宗教信仰对草地管理模式的影响较为复杂,佛教信仰者对草地管理模式了解程度最高,基督教信仰者最小;道教信仰者对目前草地管理模式下的生活现状满意度最高,基督教信仰者的满意度最低;佛教信仰者认为草地管理模式需要改变的比例最大;基督教信仰者认为改变草地管理模式主要原因是保护生活环境,而佛教、伊斯兰教和道教信仰者认为提高收入和便于孩子入学是改变草地管理模式的主要原因。说明宗教信仰对草地功能和管理模式认知既具有分异性,又具有趋同性。
