The concept of multiple-use forestry can be considered as a simple application of the economic theory which commands the efficient utilization of resources. This paper reviews two important branches of the economic theory-theory of the firm and the capital theory-and discusses various methodologies of measuring the non-timber benefits from the forest. In addition, an empirical analysis with an example of the Deogyu National Park is presented. For this purpose, the Clawson's Travel Cost Method was employed.

This study was performed to figure out the recognition on forest certification by consumption propensity and socio-economic characteristics of wood cabinet consumers. The mean score of recognition on SFM and FSC showed comparatively low, 2.25 and 2.20(5-point likert scale), from the analysis result on 88 valid questionnaires of 90. The respondents rate of eco and non eco-friendly group formed 80.7% and 18.2%, there is a significant gap between two groups on total questionnaires. The percentage of respondents recognizing on SFM and FSC was about 31% (eco-friendly), 5.6%(non eco-friendly, SFM) and 2.8%(non eco-friendly, FSC) within each group. It showed that the socio-economic characteristics on eco-friendly respondents were higher than the others about more 1.3 times in the married rate, average age and monthly householding income.

In this study, the economic feasibility of a local energy facility that uses forest biomass as an energy source was assessed. We analyzed profitability using data from the Forest Energy Self-sufficient Village Project financed by the Korea Forest Service. The energy facility has a cogeneration generator and wood chip boiler. Wood chip, which has lower heat value and is cheaper than wood pellets, is used as fuel. Revenue comes from the sale of electricity, heat, and renewable energy certificates. Additionally, we considered the sale of carbon credits as substitutes for fossil fuels. The expenditure consists of fuel costs and fixed costs, and the initial investment is treated as a sunk cost. Under the condition of a 55% operation rate and wood chip price of 95,000 KRW per ton, the annual net revenue is positive. Crucial factors for managing the facility sustainably are operation rate and fuel cost. A simulation in which two factors were changed showed that the annual net revenue is negative with a 50% operation rate and 100,000 KRW per ton of wood chip price. To improve net revenue, an increase in the operation rate or a decrease in the wood chip price is required. Additionally, selling carbon credits will make the operation of the facility more profitable. Furthermore, the payment required to procure wood chips could contribute to the rural economy. To foster the use of forest biomass for energy, the price for heat supplied from renewable energy sources should be subsidized.

기후변화 대응 및 녹색성장을 위한 산림의 중요성이 대두되고 있는 시대 변화에 발맞추어 우리나라에도 산림치유에 관한 산업이 급부상하고 있다. 2007년부터 산림치유와 관련된 산림청 기획 연구과제가 수행됨에 따라 산림 치유에 대한 본격적인 연구와 정책이 시작되었다. 산림의 다양한 환경요소를 활용해 현대인의 건강을 증진시키는 산림치유(Forest healing)에 대한 국내외 연구사례와 언론보도 등으로 산림치유에 대한 사회적 관심은 최근 10년 사이 그야말로 폭발적인 관심을 끌었다. 지방자치단체의 대부분이 직간접적으로 산림치유와 관련된 정책을 추진하고 있으며, 민간에서도 관련 사업이 활성화되고 있는 것을 쉽게 찾아볼 수 있다. 특히 현 산림청장이 국립대학의 산림치유학과 교수였던 이력을 보더라도 산림치유에 대한 국가적인 기대도 크다는 것을 느낄 수 있다. 최근 산림정과 녹색사업단이 공동 기획한 산림치유 전문지 'ECO HEALING (에코힐링)'의 창간 또한 이러한 사회적 관심과 요구에 부흥하는 일이라 하겠다. 그간 치산녹화에 주력해 우리 산림을 급부상시킨 산림경영인들이 이제는 시대적 요구에 걸맞은 혜안을 가지고 국가 시책과 사회적 요구에 앞서 나가 또 다른 산림 산업의 주역으로서 역할을 해야 할 때가 되었다고 생각한다. 산림치유 산업이 급부상하게 된 이유와 산림의 이로움을 재조명하는 과정을 통해 앞으로의 산림치유 산업의 전망을 살펴보고자 한다.

The marketization in North Korea is spreading rapidly. This study proposes forest rehabilitation strategy for North Korea in light of their major shift toward market economy. This current trend of marketization in North Korea is now affecting the forest sector, especially the way the residents utilize small forest land. For analyzing the influence of marketization on forest management in North Korea, we reviewed the official documents issued by North Korea and related materials of North Korean marketization. The government of Kim Jong Eun has set up policies and systems regarding the spread of marketization, such as guaranteeing individuals a right to dispose certain products on their own and establishing a special economic zone to attract foreign investments. In the forestry sector, the North Korean government has been trying to fully implement its forest restoration plan by carrying out measures like re-claiming of sloping lands that had been previously used by residents. However, as marketization progresses, it is expected that there lies much difficulty in government-led massive mobilization for forest restoration due to the increase of illegal logging to meet high demand for timber, illegal firewood harvesting, collecting non-timber products for livelihoods and illegal crop cultivation to sell in the market. Therefore, South Korea's support for forest restoration should also consider the recent marketization phenomenon in North Korea. It is necessary to formulate strategic measures such as conducting joint commercialization project on agroforestry management using cooperative farming unit, helping to improve income source from small forest lands, and to activate a comprehensive mountain village special economic zone by utilizing forest business. We do hope that our proposed forest rehabilitation strategy in this paper regarding the changes in North Korea's marketization and forest policy can give a meaningful suggestion on supporting forest restoration in North Korea in an effective way.

The purpose of this study was to define the relationship between respondents' social economic condition and willingness to pay on forest landscape. From the result of analyzing the difference of willingness to pay amount with considering social economic condition by using statistical technique, it was found that willingness to pay amount was highest when people are able to access forests landscape. In addition, it was found that women's willingness to pay amount was higher than that of men and the person such as laborer and public employee, who could spare enough time, had the intention to pay higher amount, than the person such as specialist and self-employed person, who spare enough money. For age, it was found that the retired people in their sixties showed low willingness to pay amount on forest scenery. For income per household, it was interesting that although willingness to pay amount increased as income increased, it was rather low in high income class, whose income was more than KRW 10 million.
