However, it lack support of human resource and finance if the work is operated by government agency or academy only. Therefore, community resources are required to assist the work. It is often to see community members are hired to monitor natural environment with money payment. And the work of monitor will stop if the research project is ended. Than results of monitor will keep in research agency and the information will be not share with community members. This study employs the content analysis to search records of meetings and research plan of Shirding community for 2006 to 2009, and interviews eight community members who participated in the patrol work to discuss the possibility for community to do work of monitor without payment. Results show that the ecological monitoring without any pay in Shirding community has practiced for four years. There are four monitoring items, including night monitoring, daytime monitoring , seedings and birds monitoring, and other monitoring items asked by Kending National Park. Furthermore, the study also designs the framework of community-involved monitoring, which divided into four parts: community mapping, capacity building, monitoring dynamics and information delivery. The study finds that reasons to keep the willing for community member to participate monitoring works are: First, patrol monitoring objective should definitely focus on developing ecotourism. Then monitoring rules should be settled and executed. Finally, let community members know the importance of monitoring for their nature environment.
