This study aims to analyze the current status of timber production operation and the effects of the forestry mechanization projects on timber production. In order to increase the domestic timber production, it is necessary to propel forestry mechanization project, improve policy and institution, broaden forest-road network, enlarge the number of forest workers, enhance timber production and supply system, provide forestry machines, establish forest operation system, and train forest workers. In addition, the reestablishment of policy goals, the consistency of policy, and the rearrangement of laws and institution are considered more important. To improve the results and effects of forestry mechanization project, it is necessary to drive of forestry mechanization project, the spread of forestry machines, the cultivation of trainer ability, the development of training materials, and the teaching of field skill. In order to meet timber buyersí preference, timber needs to be produced through whole tree logging operation system. Expanding the proportion of domestic timber among total timber demand in Korea requires price competitiveness, and the supply ability of high quality product from the perspective of length and width.

This study was carried out to compare the conditions of Korean and Japanese forestry. Two countries were appeared same trend in forestry condition, so our forestry in future can be estimated with compared Japanese forestry, but the results obtained are as follows ; 1) The average forest area per capita of the world, Japan and Korea are 0.9, 0.23 and 0.16 ha, respectively, this means that Korean forest area is not sufficient. The growing stock of forest per capita is $22.5m^3$ in Japan and $3.9m^3$ in Korea, but timber consumptions per capita are $1m^3$ in Japan and $0.2m^3$ in Korea. Those mean that both countries have not a plentiful resource of forestry. 2) The forestry production activity becomes gradually stagnation. Both in Korea and Japan, the reforestation and stumpage felling area show gradually decreasing tendency, the artificial forest ratio of total forest area is, at present, 28% in Korea and 40% in Japan. 3) In forestry demand aspect, the ratio of imported timber is 79% in Korea and 62.4% in Japan. Because the price index of timber is lower than the general price index, the dullness of forestry-related industries is expected in future. 4) The forestry labour supply has gradually difficulty because of the reduction in farming labour. 5) The managements of national forests show deficit operation, at present, both in Korea and Japan. The results above mentioned are derived form the poor forest resources, therefore, it is considered that rather more and continuous investment is necessary, but also forestry should be invested in the territorial conservation aspect.

The purpose of this study was to identify the impact of various income sources on income inequality of forestry households. Data from the Forestry Household Economy Survey from 2013-2016 were analyzed using the Gini coefficient decomposition method via income source. In particular, the income inequality analysis of forestry households was broken down into separate analyses based on group, i.e., the whole of forestry households and the five income quintile classes. The results of the analyses showed that income inequality of forestry households is primarily affected by forestry and nonforestry incomes and income quintile class. Moreover, income inequality of the highest income quintile class was largely affected by forestry income compared with other sources of income, whereas that of other income quintile classes was largely affected by nonforestry income. Therefore, in order to reduce income inequality in forestry households, it is necessary to increase the proportion of forestry income in the lower four quintile classes. Given that the income of the lowest quintile class is negative, it is necessary to devise ways to improve the proportion and quantity of forestry income. At the same time, as forestry income increases, a policy alternative is also required to improve inequality in forestry income.

This study was carried out to improve forest tax system corresponding to Korean forestry status. Especially, special regard was paled in order to promote forest investment as a result of improvement measures. As a result of this study, the establishment of new system which allow deduction as a loss when forest investment occurred is more effective than present forest income tax system, which gives tax-exemption on cutting of artificial forests. Some detailed adoption technique of that system was examined in various viewpoint. Also, it is indicated that this improvement measures was already adopted generally in some developed countries.

This study was carried to analyze the structural change of interrelationships between the forestry including forest product processing and the other industrial sectors. The interindustry tables (19 setors) were drawn with the aid of the interindustry table published in 1970, 1975 and 1980 in connection with the forestry and forest product processing. In addition, the input coefficient and inverse matrix coefficient were calculated in the light of the 19 sector of interindustry tables. Owing to the change of economic structure during the period of 1970-1980, the importance of forest in Gross National Product has been decreasing. But it has shown that forestry is a kind of original industry having a great deal of intermediate demand which is constantly increasing. Therefore, forestry could be regarded as a supply industry to other industries. In addition, the import coefficient of forestry products in larger than that of other industries and it keeps increasing.

In order to identify the economic impacts of forest-related industry on the national economy in general and the linkages between forestry and its related industries, an input-output analysis was conducted using the 2015 Input-Output Tables of the Bank of Korea. Production inducement effects are relatively high in paper products, lumber, and silviculture and relatively low in other wood industries. Value-added inducement effects are relatively high in silviculture and log production. With respect to the wood products industry, forward linkage effects are higher and backward linkage effects are lower. A Ritz-Spaulding multiplier analysis revealed that the growth of wood products production has only a modest impact on the growth of forestry. How to increase the linkage between forestry and the wood products industry is one of the most important policy tasks in Korea, given that it affects forest ecosystem management and climate change mitigation efforts.
