The aim of this study was to identify the role of rural women in activities related to natural resources management in villages of Chahar-zebar region – Kermanshah (Chahar-zebar Olia, Deh-sefid, Gawhar-abad and Kashanbe-lak). A total number of 153 women living in the villages were interviewed in a survey using a researcher-made questionnaire and through semi-structured, face to face interview and direct observation of women activities. The individual characteristics of the respondents, the general profile of their households, their role in various activities, management and decision making about family incomes-costs, and the level of women knowledge about natural resources (forests and pastures) were recorded and analyzed. Results showed that women were involved in only 27 percent of natural resources activities, while the most of practices (96.7 percent) were done with the participation of other people (other women, husband and children respectively). In general women’s knowledge of natural resources was assessed as medium to low. Correlation analysis indicated that among the personal, family and social characteristics of women, factor including age, religious activities and migration tendency had a negative relationship with the role of women in both management and decision making while a positive correlation was seen for time spent in forest activities. The variables age, history of residency and migration tendency also negatively correlated with the time spent for activities in forests. We concluded that the time spent for forest activities is the most determinant for both the role of women in management and their knowledge about natural resources.
