Abstract: The effective management evaluation of protected areas is an important means to scientifically analyze the protection and management work and improve the management efficiency and quality. Through the selection of evaluation indicators, the expert scoring method was used to quantitatively analyze the management effectiveness of Jiaozishan National Nature Reserve. The results showed that the total score of the management effectiveness evaluation of the reserve was 76 points, and 13 of the 34 indicators were excellent, with a score of 38 points, accounting for 38.20 % of the total number of indicators and 50.00 % of the total score. However, 18 indicators are good, and the quality levels of the three indicators, such as administrative law enforcement power, community participation and community co-management, are medium, and there is still much room for improvement in protection and management capabilities. In this regard, it is proposed to strengthen the management system and management ability, promote the coordinated development of protection and utilization, strengthen community support, and improve the ecological service function of the protected area.
