The ten most important explanatory variables for the direct economic uses, other forest uses, cultural spiritual importance, importance for health, and environmental health benefits indices from a BRT analysis

The dataset presents the ten most important explanatory variables for the direct economic uses, other forest uses, cultural spiritual importance for health, and environmental health benefits indicies in the Boosted Regression Tree or BRT analysis. Explanatory variables are shown in order down each column with their relative importance.   The data was gathered by interview survey. Two interview surveys were completed. A survey was conducted in Kalimantan, the Indonesian part of the
island of Borneo. The survey was conducted by 19 local non-governmental
organizations (NGOs) over a period of 15 months from April 2008 to
September 2009, and involved interviews with 6,983 people in 687
villages within the general distribution range of orangutan in
Kalimantan. The original dataset of
6,983 interviews was reduced to 4,973 because of doubts about the reliability of some of the
responses. A further 56 interviews were performed in six villages in the Malaysian State of Sabah. The survey questionnaire comprised 32 questions and 34 optional
sub-questions that were divided into a number of sections focusing on
basic socio-demographic information, assessment of interviewee
reliability, and questions on perceptions of forest values and wildlife.

本数据集呈现了提升回归树（Boosted Regression Tree，BRT）分析中，针对直接经济用途、其他林业用途、健康相关文化精神重要性以及环境健康效益指数的十大关键解释变量。解释变量按列依次排列，并标注其相对重要性。
本数据集通过访谈调研采集，共完成两轮访谈。第一轮调研于2008年4月至2009年9月的15个月间开展，由19家当地非政府组织（non-governmental organization，NGO）在印尼婆罗洲所属的加里曼丹地区执行，在该区域红毛猩猩（orangutan）的整体分布范围内的687个村庄中，完成了6983人次的访谈。因部分受访者回答的可靠性存疑，原始6983份访谈样本被缩减至4973份；后续在马来西亚沙巴州的6个村庄中补充完成了56份访谈。
本次调研的问卷包含32个主问题与34个可选子问题，划分为多个模块，分别聚焦基础社会人口学信息采集、受访者可靠性评估，以及森林价值与野生动物认知相关问题。
