  abstract = {{S}ome recommendations made by the {W}orld {P}arks {C}ongress in {D}urban (2003) underscore the need to consider the impacts of multi-purpose marine protected areas ({MPA}s) on resident or adjacent populations, and lead social and fisheries scientists to reconsider their approaches and methods regarding the assessment of economic effects of an {MPA}. {T}his paper contributes to this reconsideration by proposing an assessment method of microeconomic effects. {T}he approach is the comparison of fishing households’ economic situation in {C}humphon {P}rovince ({T}hailand) at a given time based on their location in relation to a marine protected area: within or adjacent to {C}humphon {A}rchipelago {M}arine {N}ational {P}ark vs. remote from it. {W}e address three economic dimensions: the profitability of household activities, the income-distributional effects among households and the household vulnerability. {T}his assessment requires the calculation of five indicators : the net income, the net profit margin, the {G}ini coefficient and the {H}erfindahl index, and {B}ene's vulnerability index. {F}rom a dataset made up of 123 fishing households surveyed twice a year, the main results show higher incomes and less economic vulnerability for households located within or adjacent to the {MPA}, and a more inegalitarian income distribution among households located remote from the {MPA}. {S}o, the households located within or adjacent to the {MPA} have more security, can stay focused on the most profitable fishing activities and not have to diversify outside of the fishing sector. {I}n an environment where commercial small-scale fishing was already highly developed, setting up an {MPA} could have the effect of sustaining an efficient, specialised professional set-up for fishing households in the area concerned. {W}ith respect to a policy to establish {MPA}s in keeping with the {D}urban recommendations, this study shows that a thorough analysis of profitability, income distribution and economic vulnerability should help to identify who the winners and losers might be, which could improve the targeting of mitigation and compensation measures.},
