( Syazwan Roslan ),김계수,( Athirah Irwan ) 한국품질경영학회 2019 한국품질경영학회 학술대회 Vol.2019 No.-

Total Quality Management, TQM, is a concept that have been used many decades as a problem solving method and boosting organization performance. TQM concept emphasize on Juran’s main element, Quality Planing, Quality Control, and Quality Improvement. Besides, TQM is a concept that rely on evidence of process in order to obtaining the quality decision making procedure. Sustainable forestry or sustainable forest management is one of industry that very much rely on evidence in the process for decision making procedure. Sustainable forest management has been defined in various ways. Despite widespread support for the concept of sustainable forest management, disagreements can arise about the specifics of how to achieve it. Forest management or forest use that seems reasonable to one person or group may not appear so to another. Conflicts over planned or ongoing forest management are inevitable, and people who share concern about forest resources sometimes disagree about priorities for those resources. Forests can be managed for several purposes simultaneously, and, thus, jointly meet the interests and priorities of multiple groups. A proper forest planing are highly required partly the result of the outcome could take many decades. Currently, there is a gap in forest management plan mainly in the operational aspect. Operation procedure affected the decision making and providing a concrete evidence as a planing basis is highly demanded. With the current method, There is no much indication on the continued development of techniques to further improve the sustainable forest management. The use of IT techniques and drone is not shown. The improvement of manpower on the analytical aspects of data is not properly shown. Tree mapping technique is been used to show the current forest standing, species distribution and distribution (with the coordinate of trees). with the use new method in estimating the tree damage it will provide more efficient in cutting regime. The estimate could be done using the location of the trees in that area. Besides, by provide prediction on the future forest in the next cycle, as evidence that the forest could grow and could be harvested in the next cycle. Lastly, by provide the image result taken from drone to monitor the progress of forest growth. Comparing the trees in terms of their height could be indicate how much tree have grown after logging. The study will provide a alternative technique in accordance with Total Quality Management in sustainable forest management issues.

산림생태계 관리: 개념, 원칙 및 적용방법을 중심으로

손요환,김진수 한국생태학회 1997 Journal of Ecology and Environment Vol.20 No.3

Forest managers are increasingly being challenged to produce goods and services to society while managing for ecosystem sustainability. Forest ecosystem management is an emerging philosophy to achieve these objectives. We synthesized some basic concepts of forest ecosystem, sustainability in forests and forest ecosystem management, and described the importances of long-term ecological studies. Also we presented few relatively simple principles of forest ecosystem management, strategies, and case studies for integrating forest ecosystem management principles into the forest management planning process. It was emphasizd that in forest ecosystem management process, society, land managers, forest managers, and scientists be entered into a partnership to reshape management goals, redefine objectives, and redirect management actions in response to changing socioeconomic information and evolving bioogical, physical, chemical, and environmental conditions. Agreement or disagreement with our synthesis and opinions on forest ecosystem management is out of the primary objective of this paper, which is to stimulate new and creative approaches to forest ecosystem management as an emerging issue in forestry.

Measuring social capital in Indonesian community forest management

이요한,Indri Puji Rianti,박미선 한국산림과학회 2017 Forest Science And Technology Vol.13 No.3

Social capital provides an overview of a community’s togetherness, unity, and mutual trust in achieving common goals towards sustainable development. Community forest management requires a certain level of social capital for sustainable forest management. This study aims to identify and analyze key factors influencing the community’s social capital in forest management. The key factors influencing the level of social capital in a community include internal factors such as individual characteristics and knowledge of community forest management, and external factors such as extension activities, the role of the forest farmer group, and access to information. Using the theoretical framework of social capital and multiple linear regression models, we found that social capital was significantly influenced by both internal and external factors, indicating a need to improve these factors. To increase the value of social capital for maintaining the sustainability of community forest management, the results of this Indonesian case suggest that individual characteristics, procedural knowledge of community forest management, and the role of forest farmer groups need to be considered for forest management based on the social capital of forest communities.

REDD+ has been taking international intention on forestry discourse in the age of climate change. REDD+ is defined as policy approaches and positive incentives on issues relatingtoreducingemissionsfromdeforestationandforestdegradation;andtheroleofconservation,sustainab lemanagementofforestsandenhancementofforestcarbonstocksindevelopingcountries.REDD+isexpectedto beanewmechanismundertheUNFCCCprocesstoreduceemissionfromforestrysector. Since early 1990`s forest certification has been discussed to address the concern of sustainable forest management. Certification is an economic policy instrument with environmental and trade objectives. A basic objective of economic instruments is to ensure an appropriate pricing of natural resources in order to promote their efficient use and allocation. Forest certification is an economic market-based instrument, which aims to raise awareness and provide incentives for both producers and consumers towards a more responsible use of forest. For more a decade forest certification has become a global feature in forest management.Forest certification is becoming an important market tool towards sustainable forest management. This study examine lesson learnt from forest certification that are relevant to REDD+ implementation by identifying key issues and challenges. The knowledge may be of benefit to REDD+ implementation in particular on how the existing challenges in forest certification practices may influence this mechanism. The article is based on a variety of literature and also on previous research. Seminar/workshop proceedings, policy briefs, and other relevant documents were reviewed to identify key issues and challenges on forest certification. International journal articles in period 1995-2013 were also reviewed. The articles were search using keywords ‘forest certification’, ‘forest certification and climate change’ through Scopussearchengine. As a market tool forest certification cannot guarantee that certified products will have premium price compare to uncertified ones. This situation has influenced motivation of Forest Company to pursue certification. In some cases forest companies feel that it become burden as they have to allocate resources for forest certification but there is no clear incentive in return. Market access might be one of incentive from the market but this is not enough to shift business as usual practices. Forest land tenure is one of big challenges for forest certification practices in particular in developing countries. In many cases it creates conflict between local communities and company, between local government and forest companies, and/or between other groups of interest. Distribution of benefits also part of the issue. Local communities` accessibility to forest resources is important to maintain better forest management as most of forest dependent people rely on their livelihood on the forest. Once forest area is certified forest company may apply strict approach to maintain environmental performance by limiting access for local people. To maintain long term security balancing social and environment concerns with economic goals is indispensable. Based on experience from forest certification practices, REDD+ implementation should provide equal benefit for stakeholders in the long run. Government and forest manager should consider and develop sharing benefits mechanism that can be accepted by all groups of interest. REDD+ implementation may limit access of local communities to the forest resources. Therefore forest land tenure issue should be addressed since planning phase of REDD+ project. Clear forest tenure of each group`s interest could grant better environment for REDD+ implementation that is projected for long term. Other important issue is that financing mechanism of REDD+ is remain unclear. It should be noted that under voluntary (market) mechanism, price will be an incentive but on the other hand it can be disincentive if it is unreasonable. Forest provides many services and if the price is not attractive enough, different interest groups may reluctant to this idea. There should be robust financing mechanism for REDD+ implementation to be succeed.

The Impact of Community-Based Forest Management on Local People around the Forest: Case Study in Forest Management Unit Bogor, Indonesia

Fajar, Nugraha Cahya,Kim, Joon Soon Institute of Forest Science 2019 Journal of Forest Science Vol.35 No.2

The issue of sustainable forest management (SFM) continues to emerge as part of the REDD+ mechanism mitigation efforts. Especially for some developing countries, such as Indonesia, forest management is required to provide benefits to the welfare of local communities in addition to forest conservation efforts. This study aims to identify the economic, social, and environmental impacts of community-based forest management (CBFM) implementation activities, which is one of the implementations of SFM at field level. The primary objectives were to find out the impacts of CBFM activities based on local people's perceptions and to identify what factors need to be considered to increase local people's satisfaction on CBFM activities. The data from 6 sub-villages was derived through surveys with local people involved in CBFM activities, interviews with a key informant, and supported by secondary data. The results of the study state that CBFM activities have increased the local people's income as well as their welfare, strengthening the local institution, and help to resolve conflicts in the study area. CBFM has also been successful in protecting forests by rehabilitating unproductive lands and increase forest cover area. By using binary logistic regression analysis, it found that income, business development opportunities, access to forests, conflict resolution, institutional strengthening, and forest rehabilitation variable significantly affected the local people's satisfaction of CBFM activities.

Implications of the Association Between Forest Cover and the Central Bank Rate of Return on Sustainable Forest Management in Kenya

Chisika Sylvester Ngome,고주연,염춘호 사단법인 한국융합기술연구학회 2023 아시아태평양융합연구교류논문지 Vol.9 No.8

Forests play an important role in human well-being and sustainable development. However, in the wake of the rising deforestation and climate change, information on how monetary policy factors, especially the Central Bank Rate of Return (CBRR) affect sustainable forest management in developing countries is scarce. This study examined the relationship between CBRR and forest cover in Kenya for the period of 2006–2022, with the aim of contributing to a better understanding of the factors influencing sustainable forest conservation and management. A literature review and quantitative data analysis using pearson's correlation, multiple regression and ANOVA showed a weak, negative correlation between the CBRR and forest cover (r =-0.36, p<0.05), indicating that a higher CBRR is generally associated with lower forest cover value in Kenya. This result indicates that there could be some relationship, but the data points remained scattered such that the correlation is closer to zero (R-squared = 0.130). Moreover, the correlation coefficient also suggests that the relationship between the two variables is weak. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) found a statistically significant difference between the means of the CBRR and forest cover groups (F (1,32) = 21.93, p< 0.000), supporting the idea that the CBRR could have an impact on the forest cover percentage in Kenya. However, this impact could be weak and influenced by other factors not captured in the model. This paper recommends that forest management stakeholders in Kenya consider the potential influence of changes in the CBRR on forest cover and the need for a coordinated effort from policymakers, researchers, and local communities to address the complex issues driving forest cover change in the country.

탈탄소 사회를 위한 부탄의 지속가능한 산림관리 제도 연구

최영진 ( Youngjin Choi ),이기영 ( Kiyoung Lee ),김민철 ( Minchul Kim ) 사단법인 아시아문화학술원 2021 인문사회 21 Vol.12 No.1

탈탄소 사회의 세계적 추세 속에서 부탄의 지속가능한 산림 관리를 위해서는 국제환경법의 원칙 중 지속가능성을 준수하는 것도 중요하다. 부탄의 환경정책은 지속가능한 개발원칙에 부합하도록 변화되고 있다. 그러나 산림관리의 경우 과도한 규제로 인해 목재산업의 효율성을 저하시킨다는 비판이 제기되어왔다. 부탄의 사회경제적 요건을 고려할 때에 적정한 수준에서 산림을 활용할 수 있는 선진적 제도는 반드시 필요하다. 부탄정부도 부탄산림정책(2009)을 시작으로 빈곤을 줄이고 지속가능한 개발을 강화하기 위한 지역림의 관리권한 이양 강화를 위한 정책방향과 사유림에서의 산림자원활용을 위한 정책방향을 수립하는 등 지속가능한 개발을 점차 추구하는 것으로 보인다. 또한 부탄 정부는 산림의 지속가능한 관리를 통한 GNH 및 SDGs의 달성을 위하여 지역림(Community Forest) 프로그램을 운영하고 있다. 부탄은 지속가능한 산림관리의 실정에 맞는 산림인증제도의 도입이 필요하다. 부탄의 산림과 관련된 법제들은 선진입법에 못지않게 제도화는 되어 있다. 그러나 지속가능한 산림관리를 위해서는 불교적 관점의 지나친 규제보다는 지역림 프로그램 등의 법제화를 통한 수정전략이 필요할 것이다. 이와 함께 양자조약의 체결을 통하여 부탄과 한국 등 산림관리 선진 국가와의 국제협력이 의무화되는 것을 제안한다. Bhutan’s environmental policy is changing to conform to sustainable development principles. In the case of forest management, however, there has been criticism that excessive regulation reduces the efficiency of the timber industry. In view of Bhutan’s socioeconomic requirements, an advanced system that can utilize forests at an appropriate level is essential. Starting with the The Bhutanese government also operates a Community Forest program to achieve GNH and SDGs through sustainable management of forests. Bhutan needs to introduce a forest certification system that is suitable for sustainable forest management. The laws concerning forests in Bhutan are as institutionalized as advanced legislation. For sustainable forest management, revision strategies through legislation such as local forest programs will be needed rather than excessive regulation. In addition, it is proposed that international cooperation with advanced countries in forest management.

Towards Sustainability of Tropical Forests: Implications for Enhanced Carbon Stock and Climate Change Mitigation

Mizanur Rahman,Mahmuda Islam,Rofiqul Islam,Norul Alam Sobuj 강원대학교 산림과학연구소 2017 Journal of Forest Science Vol.33 No.4

Tropical forests constitute almost half of the global forest cover, account for 35% of the global net primary productivity and thereby have potential to contribute substantially to sequester atmospheric CO2 and offset climate change impact. However, deforestation and degradation lead by unsustainable management of tropical forests contribute to the unprecedented species losses and limit ecosystem services including carbon sequestration. Sustainable forest management (SFM) in the tropics may tackle and rectify such deleterious impacts of anthropogenic disturbances and climatic changes. However, the existing dilemma on the definition of SFM and lack of understanding of how tropical forest sustainability can be achieved lead to increasing debate on whether climate change mitigation initiatives would be successful. We reviewed the available literature with a view to clarify the concept of sustainability and provide with a framework towards the sustainability of tropical forests for enhanced carbon stock and climate change mitigation. We argue that along with securing forest tenure and thereby reducing deforestation, application of reduced impact logging (RIL) and appropriate silvicultural system can enhance tropical forest carbon stock and help mitigate climate change.

권순덕 ( Soon Duk Kwon ),박영규 ( Young Kyu Park ),김은희 ( Eun Hee Kim ) 한국지리정보학회 2008 한국지리정보학회지 Vol.11 No.4

본 연구는 국립산림과학원에서 개발된 GIS 기반 산림기능평가 프로그램을 활용하여 국유림 산림경영계획을 위한 임ㆍ소반단위 산림기능구분도 작성을 목적으로 연구를 수행하였다. 산림기능구분방법은 프로그램을 이용하여 Grid 단위 기능별 잠재력을 평가한 후 소반단위 기능잠재력의 최대값을 찾아 기능평가도를 작성하고 기능우선순위에 따라 산림기능구분도를 작성하였다. 산림경영계획 수립에 필요한 최종 산림기능구분도는 우선적으로 지속가능한 산림자원관리지침의 법정림을 구분하고 다음으로 지방 산림청 자체기준에 따라 구분하였으며, 나머지 산림은 산림경영계획 담당자가 우선순위 산림기능구분도를 참고하여 구분한 결과들을 중첩하여 작성하였다. 연구결과 산림기능평가 프로그램을 이용한 Grid 단위의 기능별 잠재력평가를 통해 임ㆍ소반단위로 산림기능을 평가함으로서 국유림 산림경영계획 수립시 필요한 자료를 제공하여 합리적인 산림경영계획 수립을 가능하게 하였으며, 지속가능한 산림자원관리지침과 지방산림청 자체기준에 따라 기능을 구분할 수 있는 방법을 개발하였기 때문에 국유림 산림경영계획작성에 필요한 산림기능구분도를 보다 손쉽게 작성할 수 있었다. A forest functions classification map is an essential element for the management planning of national forests. This study was intended to make out the map at the stand level by utilizing the Forest Functions Evaluation Program(FFEP), developed by Korea Forest Research Institute. In this program, the potential of each function was evaluated in each grid cell, and then a forest functions estimation map was generated based on the optimum grid cell values in each sub-compartment unit. Finally, the program produced a forest functions classification map with consideration of the priority of the functions. The final forest functions classification map required for the national forest management planning made out overlapping those results which the rest of the forest classified referring priority functions classification map to national forest manager and classified according to the local administrative guidance and sustainable forest resources management guidance. The results indicated that the forest function classification using the FFEP program could be an efficient tool for providing the data required for national forest management planning. Also this study made a meaningful progress in the forest function classification by considering the local forest administrative guidance and sustainable forest resources management guidance.

우리나라 山林法에 있어 持續可能한 山林經營의 實現을 위한 法的 構造에 관한 硏究 : Whit a focus on the legal framework of Montreal Process Criterion 7

성준경,윤화영 동국대학교 대학원 2001 東院論集 Vol.14 No.-

Since the Statement of Forest Principles and Agenda 21 in 1992, sustainable forest management(SFM) has become a main subject for forest management in the world. For achievement of SFM, criterion and indicator(C&I) are essential factors. The Montreal Process was formed in Geneva, Switzerland, in June 1994 to develop and implement internationally agreed criteria and indicators for the conservation and sustainable management of temperate and boreal forests. At the 6th meeting of the Montreal Process Working Group in Santiago, Chile, in 1995. And then, the 10 member countries endorsed a statement of political commitment known as the "Santiago Declaration" which included a comprehensive framework of 7 criteria and 67 indicators. Among the these C&I, the criterion 7 is an effective legal and institutional framework. The first indicators of criterion 7 is the legal framework(laws, regulations, guidelines), including the 5 assessment extent, to support sustainable forest management. A purpose of this study is the assessment of criterion 7, especially the legal framework, for SFM in the Korean Forest Law. As a results of this study, the korean forest law is relatively well organized for SFM. But the indicator 7.1.b which is the legal framework to provide opportunities for public participation in public policy and decision-making related to forests and public access to information will have to develop and improve for SFM.
