Table 5. Parameter estimates for the generalized model with logit function for the response on the use of Mikania micrantha (Yes = 1, No = 0) at a significance level (α) of 0.05. Odds ratio is obtained by exponentiation of the estimate of the model
Figure 3. Chisquare model correspondence analysis showing variability in the peoples’ spatial perception (solid triangles) of Mikania micrantha in the study area, Kumroj Buffer Zone Community Forest, Chitwan, Nepal. The first dimension (left to right) shows the variability due to the distance. The second dimension (top to bottom) shows variability among the perception type.
