In this study, we attempted to estimate the degree of management of chestnut forestry households in Chungcheongnam-do and to provide information for establishing chestnut cultivation-related policies. The chestnut management standard diagnostic table consists of three major categories, namely, management base, management and sales capacity, and production technology levels, along with 19 subcategories. A survey of 309 chestnut forestry households was conducted from 2014 to 2019 in Gongju, Cheongyang, and Buyeo in Chungcheongnam-do. The average score for the 19 subcategories was 65.7 points, indicating that these areas have excellent management conditions. When the total score was higher, the output per hectare and the rate of top-grade products in the total output were also higher, indicating a significant correlation. These findings will be useful for providing consulting services to chestnut growers as they highlight the correlation between the higher scores of the indicators in the chestnut management standard diagnostic table and the management performance of the farmers. We found that the scores of the indicators for management and sale skill, such as management record and analysis, material purchase, and direct transaction with consumers, were relatively lower than those of the indicators for management base and production skill. It is assumed that the chestnut growers aging has led to negligence in recording details on incomes, expenditures, and work and lowered the willingness to make substantial profits. Therefore, it is essential to overcome these problems for profitable chestnut farming.

This study attempted to estimate the degree of management of oak mushroom farms in Chungcheongnam-do and to provide information to establish oak mushroom cultivation-related policies. The oak mushroom management standard diagnostic table consists of three major categories, growing condition, inoculation management, cultivation management and management administration, along with 20 subcategories. Thus, 209 households of oak mushroom farms were surveyed from 2015 to 2018 in Gongju, Cheongyang, Buyeo and Seochun in Chungcheongnam-do. The average score for the 20 subcategories was 71.5 points (representing a significant level), indicating that these areas have excellent management conditions. The analysis of the management performance indicators revealed a high number of indicators with scores of five or above. The total score was higher, and the amount per bed log and the rate of top-grade products in the total output were also higher, indicating a significant correlation. These findings will provide consulting services to oak mushroom growers as they highlight the correlation between the higher scores of indicators in the oak mushroom management standard diagnostic table and the management performance of farmers. We found that the scores of the indicators for management administration, such as management record and analysis and fund plan were relatively lower than those of other indicators. It is assumed that the owners aging has led to negligence in recording the details on incomes, expenditures, and work and lowered the willingness to make substantial profits. Therefore, it is essential to overcome these problems for profitable oak mushroom farming.

베트남은 국토의 3/4이 고산지대이며 1천만ha의 산림자원을 보유하고 있으나 비효율적인 산림관리로 인해 산림의 규모와 질이 점차적으로 악화되어 왔다. 국가기관이 관리하는 대규모산림과 개인소유의 산림은 비교적 관리가 잘 되는 반면, 지역사회가 관리하는 고산지대의 산림은 제대로 관리되지 뭇하고 있다. 이 연구는 베트남 지역사회 산림관리의 실제와 문제점들을 고찰하였다. 지역사회에 의한 산림관리는 새로운 제도라기 보다는 이미 지역주민에 의해 개발되어진 전통적인 관리방식으로 1955년 토지개혁 이전부터 이용되어 왔다. 지역사회산림은 지역에 적합한 지식과 제도에 따라 관리됨으로 산림의 보호와 지역사회 발전에 긍정적인 효과를 가져왔었음에도 여건 변화에 적응하지 못한 문제점을 내포하고 있다. 따라서 산림의 효율적 관리를 위해서는 물리적, 제도적 여건의 많은 변화속에서 지역사회 산림의 회복과 관리를 위해서 지속적인 실험과 연구가 수행되어야 할 것이다.

식생지수(Vegetation Index, 이하 VI)는 위성영상의 각 밴드가 식생에 대해 나타내는 특징적 반사치를 이용하여 지피의 식생 유무와 상태를 표현하고 정량화(Quantification)가 가능하다. 본 연구는 개엽(aestivation) 전 주사된 광릉시험림 지역의 QuickBird 위성영상과 임소반도를 이용하여 수목분류간 VI의 비교를 목적으로 삼는다. VI는 식생 및 토양의 특성에 따라 많은 영향을 받게 되며 이러한 영향의 최소화를 통해서만 정확한 평가자료를 얻을 수 있기 때문에 토양부분을 제외한 수목과 상관관계가 높은 VI를 연구에 사용하였다. 그 결과 침엽수로 조림된 단순림(單純林)간의 분류는 용이하지 않았지만 개엽 전 낙엽송과 활엽수간의 분류체계에는 효과적임을 입증할 수 있었다.

Hyperion, as hyperspectral data, is carried on NASA’s EO-1 satellite, can be used in more subtle discrimination on forest cover, with 224 band in 360 ?2580 nm (10nm interval). In this study, Hyperion image is used to investigate the effects of topography on the classification of forest cover, and to assess whether the topographic correction improves the discrimination of species units for practical forest mapping. A publicly available Digital Elevation Model (DEM), at a scale of 1:25,000, is used to model the radiance variation on forest, considering MSR(Mean Spectral Ratio) on antithesis aspects. Hyperion, as hyperspectral data, is corrected on a pixel-by-pixel basis to normalize the scene to a uniform solar illumination and viewing geometry. As a result, the approach on topographic effect normalization in hyperspectral data can effectively reduce the variation in detected radiance due to changes in forest illumination, progress the classification of forest cover.

To investigate the effects of national forest management on the regional community, the inter-relationship between the local communities and neighbouring forest owned by the state was surveyed in the three locations, namely pyungchang-gun, Bonghwa-gun, and Kwangyang-gun, which have a large area of national forest. The effect of national forest management on the local community was different depending upon the relationship between the local community and the national forest, the resource base and infrastructure and facilities installed within the national forest. The major contribution of the national forest to regional society is the provision of land resources, forest products, employment opportunities, and social functions of forest. The supply of land resource from the national forest has been increasing steadily due to the increase in demand for public facilities. About one quarter of household income in the forest villages surveyed came out of the sales of forest products, mainly non-timber products. Due to the low level of forest operations for timber production, there are very limited opportunities of employment provided by the national forest. And the use of forest roads by local residents was also to a limited extent. Therefore, it is suggested that the national frosts should be managed such that help to revive the economy of local communities which are disadvantaged in the national investment priority due to the low economic returns.
