Data from questionnaire from village adjacent Ugalla game reserve

Data were collected using a semi-structured interview questionnaire, which involved 141 respondents’ members of four trade unions, namely SIFICO, TWIKILAGI, TABORA FISH and TABORA BEEKEEPERS, who were contacted and interviewed. With the application of the Yamen formula, we efficiently identified 141 individuals who were considered appropriate and representative of the population sample size to participate in the interviews.To ensure the questionnaires are trustworthy, we conducted a reliability analysis test. Additionally, we checked the data validity using a Pearson correlation coefficient.
