The present study was conducted to assess the levels of awareness and sensitivity of forest dwellers on the northern forest issues in drainage basin number 53 located in Amol city (Blair forests). The study method in this study was the descriptive-analytical method through documentary research and field study. The statistical population of the study included 100 rural households in the forest basin as well as passengers (tourists) and a random sampling method with a questionnaire was used to collect data. The reliability of the measuring instrument was confirmed by calculating the Cronbach's alpha coefficient (0.78). The main results of the study showed that the level of awareness for the benefits and environmental role of northern forests was 89.9% and the level of awareness for the economic benefits was 77.7% and was high. This study also showed that people's interaction with the region's forests is not very satisfactory.
