Abstract
The objective of this study was to determine the effective land units of communal forests for evaluating forest functions using GIS. As the candidates of the effective land units, we chosen the administrative units of parcels and 3 different scales of watersheds; small, medium and large. However, the administrative units of parcels were discarded because of the extreme complexity of ownerships and the highly petty scales of parcels. Instead, the 3 different levels of watershed units were applied to evaluating forest functions and the effectiveness of the resultant functional maps were compared each other in terms of the appropriateness or adequacy for field applications. According to the results of this study, it was found that the aggregated area by watersheds provides the appropriate scales of land area for forest functions and the small watershed is the most adequate one as the effective land units for forest functions in communal forests.
