Evaluating land-use and private forest management responses to a potential forest carbon offset sales program in western Oregon (USA)

Understanding and promoting South Korean private forest owners’ investment in the Forest Carbon Offset (FCO) scheme is crucial for enhancing carbon sequestration using forests in South Korea. This study aims to identify the factors of private forest owners associated with the investment decision in FCO projects. A total of 132 forest owners in Geumsan-gun, Chungcheongnam-do responded to a mixed-method survey. A chi-square test on the respondent groups shows that a forest management contract has a positive correlation with the forest owners’ willingness to invest in FCO projects. We also developed a logistic regression model for each forest owner group to estimate the effects of forest characteristics, experience of financial support, forest owner characteristics, and management characteristics on the forest owners’ willingness to invest in FCO projects. The results indicate that beliefs in climate change, size of forest holdings, tree species, stand age, experience in cost-sharing for forestry operations with public agencies, and timber harvest experience were significantly associated with the likelihood of a forest owner’s willingness to invest in FCO projects. Therefore, forest policies should take account of the factors influencing the likelihood of forest owners’ investment in FCO projects. We also found that the forest management contract scheme can be used as a policy instrument for promoting private forest owners’ action for climate change in South Korea.

Sustainable private forest management is an opportunition sustainable forest development in Indonesia. However, sustainable production of private forest management has not been known, because characteristics of private forest are different with state forest. This research aims to determine a relevant criteria and indicator of sustainable production on private forest management, case of Barru District. This research used descriptive explorative approach and quantitative-qualitative analysis. Criteria and indicator of sustainable production on Indonesia Community Based Forest Management was used as a reference to examine suitability of the standard on private forest management practice. The standards of sustainable production on sustainable private forest management consists of three criteria, namely: (1) sustainability of resources, the indicators were clearly land rights/status and boundaries, land cover change, intensity of planting, maintenance, and harvesting, (2) sustainability of yield, the indicator is infrastructure of forest management, and (3) sustainability of enterprise, the indicators were,market certainty, market accessibility, market information system, and contribution to social and economic improvement for local communities.Keywords: criteria, indicator, private forest, sustainable production.

Private Forest Management

<p>Forest Management is facing the challenge of implementing the sustainable forest management which includes private forest. Successfully gained the Ecolabel Certificate, some private forest management units in Central Java and Yogyakarta’s districts prove that the small units run by farmers are able to implement the sustainable forest management. The farmers’ success in implementing the sustainable forest management must have been gained through learning process. How the learning process was and what farmers’ learning support institutions influencing of the sustainable private forest management were, were the research questions of this study. The study used explanatory survey method on 200 farmers in Gunung Kidul and Wonogiri. Data collection was conducted from December 2009 to February 2010. The data were analyzed by using descriptive technique and Structural Equations Model (SEM). The conclusions are: (1) there are significant differentiation about farmer’s learning support institutions in Gunung Kidul and Wonogiri. In Gunung Kidul District the institutions are integrated in one team work which legitimated by Bupati (the Head of District); (2) farmers’ learning intensity is low. It was significantly influenced by farmers’ learning support institutions; (3) farmers’ learning intensity can be improved by farmer empowerment activities and competent personnels.</p><p>Keyword: Sustainable private forest management, farmers’ learning process, support system of farmer’s learning institutions, collaboration</p>
