Abstract :
The Teknaf Peninsula has ecologically important hilly forest. Local people are extremely poor and they depend on the local ecosystem. So it is very important to assess the impact of subsistence activities of the local people on the local ecosystem and develop extension strategies to manage the ecosystem and conserve the biodiversity. Hence, it is very important to know about the life and living of the people of the Teknaf Peninsula. The main focus of this study is to elucidate and compare the socioeconomic characteristics of the two areas (eastern and western side) as well as to identify and describe the factors responsible for the different socioeconomic characteristics of the people of the two sides. We found significant differences between two villages in the aspects of education, settlement year, major income source and fuel wood management. Based on the result, the basic ideas of the strategies have been suggested.
