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.

本数据集展示了在Boosted Regression Tree（增强回归树，简称BRT）分析中，直接经济用途、其他森林用途、对健康的文化精神重要性以及环境健康效益指数的前十位解释变量。解释变量按相对重要性依次排列于每列之中。数据通过访谈调查收集而来。共完成了两次访谈调查。一次在婆罗洲岛上的印尼部分——加里曼丹岛进行，由19家当地非政府组织（NGO）在2008年4月至2009年9月期间的15个月内实施，涉及对加里曼丹岛范围内6983名村民的访谈，访谈地点位于680多个村庄，这些村庄位于人猿的分布范围内。由于对部分回应可靠性的怀疑，原始的6983份访谈数据集被缩减至4973份。此外，在马来西亚沙巴州的六个村庄中又进行了56次访谈。调查问卷包括32个问题以及34个可选的子问题，这些问题被划分为多个部分，重点关注基本的社会人口统计数据、访谈对象的可靠性评估，以及对森林价值和野生动物感知的问题。
