You should first try to analyse how people are using both timber and non-timber forest prduce. Once you understand the value of forest produce in life of people or communities , where you r wirking than plan a survey according to value of produce , you have assed.Often non-timber forest produce have more value than timber in life of community , particularly in tropics.In addition to structured schelule , also try to record statements of stakehokders , which are given on spot querries abut a particular aspecct.Once the survey is completed , try to analyse throgh structured schedules and as well as open discussion you had with stakeholders.When I tried to work on such issues , I found mentioned approach very useful to reach some logical conclusions .

Estimado Ahmad, la valoración económica de los bosques no es distinta a cualquier otra evaluación económica en términos metodológicos. Sin embargo, la dificultad principal se centra en definir y valorizar los productos y servicios que produce el bosque. En este sentido, en orden de dificultad, se debe analizar en primer término los productos madereros, luego los productos no madereros y finalmente los servicios ambientales o ecosistémicos que genera el bosque. Para los dos primeros, es probable encontrar información de rendimientos, costos y precios que permitan generar flujos para evaluar económicamente. Para los servicios ambientales, es bastante más complejo, ya que lo más probable es que no se cuente con información para su cuantificación y menos para su eventual valorización. Normalmente se realiza a través de evaluaciones contingentes y encuestas de disponibilidad a pagar por dichos servicios.
