This article assesses the occurrence of forest crimes mostly in Bagamoyo coastal region using qualitative and quantitative approaches. The probability sampling along with non-probability sampling, was applied when selecting the participants who were used in the study, the collection of data was done through a community information system (participatory GIS), documents investigation, GPS survey, remote viewing as well as observation. Arc GIs software was used to create hotspot maps, forest crime patterns and visual representing of data. The outcomes revealed that areas which are highly vulnerable to the crime increase overtime from 2010 to 2022, it is due to the various factors like the family status of people along the study area, economic status, education, poor infrastructure around the area, low living standard and more, availability of forest markets and more.
