Abstract
Participation of forest owners is essential for effective management of private forests. This study aimed to find a measure to activate participation of private forest owners in the Leading Forest Management Zone (LFMZ). In-depth interview was conducted to check the participation level of forest owners within the LFMZ and the participation level was evaluated based on the Arnstein's eight-rungs theory in this study. The results showed that the participation of private forest owners in the LFMZ is perfunctory and their influence in the decision-making process is quite limited. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a system in which forest owners can involve in the decision-making process in an official manner. In this study, we suggested to make a partnership between local forest manager and private forest owners to discuss management activities and budgets in the LFMZ. However, since only a few active private forest owners were surveyed in this study, it is hard to consider their opinions as those of whole forest owners in the LFMZ.
