A multi-stage sampling procedure was used for the selection of respondents. Structured questionnaire containing a 5-point likert scale were used to measure issues relating to the objectives of the study. Many respondents indicated that active participation between community residents and park management. Ecotourism and conservation projects are largely determined by the park system as residents are yet to be fully integrated into the planning process. Major cause of conflict is restriction of residents from access to wildlife resources in the park. The park system needs to improve her relationship with communities.
