이 연구는 소득과 불평등 간의 관계에 대한 다양한 논의가 진행되고 있는 가운데 임가의 소득과 소득불평등 간의 관계를 알아보기 위해 동태적 접근법을 통해 그 관계를 알아보고자 하는데 있다. 이를 위해 단위근 검정과 공적분 검정을 실시한 후 불안정한 시계열 자료를 안정적인 시계열 자료로 변환시킨 후 VAR 모형을 추정하였고 이를 바탕으로 충격반응, 분산분해 분석을 실시하였다. 분석결과, 임가 소득의 영향이 지니계수에 의한 영향에 비해 상대적으로 큰 것으로 나타났으며 임가 소득의 충격이 자체 소득을 증가시키는 방향으로 작용할 뿐만 아니라 지니계수를 감소시키는 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 지니계수의 충격은 임가 소득을 감소시키는 방향으로 영향을 미치며 소득불평등을 더욱 심화시키는 것을 보여주고 있다. 따라서 임가 소득불평등을 완화시키기 위해서는 소득분배 정책보다는 소득성장 정책이 보다 효과적일 수 있을 것이라는 결론을 얻을 수 있었다.

The Lao PDR is a developing country that heavily relies on rice farming. During off-season of rice farming, rural villagers produce non-timber forest products such as bamboo products. Until recently many villages have overexploited bamboo resources and supplied raw bamboo materials to foreign companies. Although the Lao government allocated harvesting quotas, most villagers keep on cutting bamboos due to no other income during the off-season. This study provides an alternative income model, bamboo handicraft, that can increase villagers' income while minimizing the use of bamboo resources. It also accesses the economic feasibility of the new income model for a mountain village, Nongboua village, where surveys were conducted on general incomes of 10 sample families who participated in the new income model voluntarily. A difference was made during the off-season when the sample families worked on cutting bamboos (previous income) or bamboo handicrafts (new income). A daily wage of $ 11.5 was used for the previous income, based on our surveys. For the new income, it was assumed that single family could produce 6 bamboo handicrafts daily with a unit price of $ 2.3, resulting in a daily income of $ 13.8. During the off-season, 8 and 14 working days in a month were assumed for the previous and new incomes based on surveys. Then the previous previous and new yearly incomes were estimated and compared using normality and paired t-tests. This study found that the new yearly income was significantly greater than the previous yearly income (p < 0.001): the former (rice farming and bamboo handicraft, $ 2,064) was 42% ($ 608) greater than the latter (rice farming and bamboo cutting, $ 1,456). These results suggested that the new income model could increase villagers' income significantly. If the bamboo handicraft model is applied for other areas with bamboo resources, it can provide an opportunity to improve the rural economies and livelihoods of developing countries.

The issue of sustainable forest management (SFM) continues to emerge as part of the REDD+ mechanism mitigation efforts. Especially for some developing countries, such as Indonesia, forest management is required to provide benefits to the welfare of local communities in addition to forest conservation efforts. This study aims to identify the economic, social, and environmental impacts of community-based forest management (CBFM) implementation activities, which is one of the implementations of SFM at field level. The primary objectives were to find out the impacts of CBFM activities based on local people's perceptions and to identify what factors need to be considered to increase local people's satisfaction on CBFM activities. The data from 6 sub-villages was derived through surveys with local people involved in CBFM activities, interviews with a key informant, and supported by secondary data. The results of the study state that CBFM activities have increased the local people's income as well as their welfare, strengthening the local institution, and help to resolve conflicts in the study area. CBFM has also been successful in protecting forests by rehabilitating unproductive lands and increase forest cover area. By using binary logistic regression analysis, it found that income, business development opportunities, access to forests, conflict resolution, institutional strengthening, and forest rehabilitation variable significantly affected the local people's satisfaction of CBFM activities.

최근 단기소득임산물 생산량 증가에 따라 정부나 관련 기관에서 단기소득임산물에 대한 소비를 촉진하기 위한 다양한 노력을 하고 있다. 소비 촉진 노력의 일환으로 단기소득임산물에 대한 소비자 의향 연구가 진행되고 있지만 대부분의 연구는 설문조사에만 의존하는 상황이다. 정보화 시대에서 소비재에 대한 소비자 의향은 인터넷 확산에 따라 SNS에 크게 반영되고 있다. 기존 연구에서 설문에만 의존하는 것을 탈피하여 소비자의 의향이 직접 반영되어 있는 SNS를 직접 분석하는 것이 필요하다. 이에 본 연구는 소셜 빅테이터 분석을 통해 주요 단기소득임산물에 대한 소비자 의향을 파악하였으며, 이 결과를 이용해 해당 단기소득임산물의 판매 촉진 전략을 수립하였다. 본 논문은 설문조사만을 이용한 기존의 단기임산물 관련 연구들과는 다르게 적은 비용으로 많은 표본들의 즉각적인 반응을 파악할 수 있는 SNS 빅데이터를 활용하여 소비자 의향을 파악하였다는 것에 차별성이 있다. 본 연구의 결과는 정부나 관련 기관의 단기소득임산물의 소비 촉진 정책에 직접적으로 도움이 되고 궁극적으로는 임가 소득 향상과 건강한 산림관리에 도움이 될 수 있을 것이라 기대된다.

The purpose of this study is to develop promotion strategies for revitalizing mountain eco-villages through social economic support. In order to fulfill this purpose, this study analyzed operation conditions, income creation structures of 240 mountain eco-villages formed by Korea Forest Service, and reviewed systems for social economic support. As summarized in research outputs, this study confirmed that the activities of organizations for joint projects had not been properly implemented due to the absence of supporting systems following the construction of mountain eco-villages. In addition, 159 villages formed as experience villages could not be qualified for enterprise systems due to aging population and absence of network systems. As for income creation, as indicated by comparing net incomes for joint projects calculated based on the classification of village management evaluation, the average net income of 51 highly-rated villages was 22 million Won and that of 128 moderately-rated villages was 3.5 million Won. Experience-based projects and the sales of processed forestry products made by young adult associations or women's societies were major sources of income, and the absence of inner economic bases or villages' jobs caused young adults and returned farmers to focus on working for outside economic activities. Finally, this study developed strategies for mountain eco-village's social economic promotion and suggested four stages of social economic revitalization provisions.

Background: Despite the increasing role of dry forests in climate change adaptation and mitigation, these versatile resources has got less attention in the national and regional planning, their potential to enhance the local and national economy has been overlooked, and their contribution to sustainable environmental management has not been recognized. Hence, the objective of this study was to assess the socioeconomic contribution of dry forests and forest products to climate change adaptation in the Liben Woreda, Southern Oromia region of Ethiopia. Methods: For this study, an integrated qualitative and quantitative approach was used. A total of 74 households from villages in the Bulbul, Boba, and Melka-Guba kebeles were randomly selected for the household survey. Results: Results showed that 75% of the respondents in the area indicated that climate change has become their major sources of vulnerability, where drought has been manifested in the form of crops failure and massive death of livestock particularly cattle species. The main income strategies of the study households include livestock, crop, forests such as gum and resins, firewood and charcoal and non-farm activities such as in the form of petty trade, wage and aid. The average total household income was ETB 11,209.7. Out of this, dry forest income constituted 15% of the total income. In addition to using dry forests as rangeland for livestock, the communities collect wood for construction, fodder, traditional medicine, and forest food both for subsistence and for sale. On the other hand, dry forest products could be considered as less vulnerable, rather resilient livelihood strategies to climate- and environment-related risks compared to livestock and crop production such as in the face of drought periods. More than 48.6% of the households argued that the income generated from dry forests increased substantially due to increment in the level of engagement of family members in forest based income activities. On the other hand, 35.8% of the households responded that livestock production, particularly camels and goats, have been making the livelihood strategies of the respondents more resilient indicating the shift made from grazers browsers to livestock. In general trends show that, the trends of livelihood dependency on dry forest were highly increasing indicating the importance of dry forest income in responsse to frequent droughts. Conclusions: Dry forest income has been becoming crucial livelihood staretgy in response to frequent droughts in the study area and hence, it is important to improve the management of dry forests for livelihood enhancement, while also securing their long-term ecological functions.

이 연구의 목적은 임가의 소득원이 소득불평등에 미치는 영향을 파악하는 데 있다. 이를 위해 2013년부터 2016년까지 임가경제조사 데이터를 이용하여 소득원천별 지니계수 분해법을 적용하여 분석하였다. 구체적으로는 임가의 소득불평등도 분석은 임가 전체와 5개의 소득분위 계층별로 구분하여 분석하였다. 분석결과를 보면 임가의 소득불평등에 주로 영향을 미치는 소득은 임업소득과 임업 외 소득으로 나타났으며, 분위별로는 최상위 소득계층의 소득불평등은 임업소득의 영향력이 다른 소득원에 비해 크게 나타난 반면, 그 외의 분위에 속하는 임가에서는 임업 외 소득의 영향이 큰 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 임가의 소득증대를 위해서는 최상위 계층을 제외한 다른 계층에서의 임업소득에 대한 비중을 증대시킬 필요가 있으며, 최하위 소득계층의 임업소득이 부채상태인 점을 감안할 때, 이를 개선시킬 수 있는 방안의 강구도 필요한 것으로 판단된다. 동시에 임가의 소득불평등을 개선하기 위해서는 임가소득이 증대될수록 임업소득의 불평등을 개선하기 위한 정책적 대안이 필요한 것으로 판단된다.

In India, forest based insect enterprises has never been linked up with any forest management activity, either as a forest conservation strategy or to reduce the poverty in forested area. This investigation indicated that when forest dependent people are associated with forest insect industry (FII) like forest sericulture, lac culture or apiculture; this income generating activity links livelihood with forest conservation, and generates a viable model of collaborative forest management (CFM). In this model different stakeholders work together as a coherent entity for unified goal of managing the forest for well-being of the poor people in fringe areas. Article summaries and evaluates the prospect of India specific forest insect industry, and discusses how and to what extent integration of FII could be a viable livelihood component in CFM to conserve the forest and insect biodiversity. We analysed a case study on forestbased rearing of tropical tasar silkworm rearing in Central India from CFM perspective. Arguments in this communication are intended to provide forest managers and policy-makers with necessary input to consider location specific FII in CFM mode to provide a continuous source of small income to forest dependent people to ensure long lasting success of their forest management endeavours.

Previous studies have shown that forest therapy program can help prevent dementia. However, few studies have focused on low-income elderly people living alone. The current study examined the meanings that the elderly living alone receiving medical care assigned to the urban forest therapy program, as a way to understand the pathways that nature-based intervention affect preventing dementia. Twenty-one participants were recruited and they participated in a five-week urban forest therapy program. Semi-structured interviews were carried out with 21 participants who experienced the urban forest therapy program, and analyzed qualitative data using thematic analysis. Results showed that all themes identified were related to connectedness with oneself, neighbors and nature. Awarenesses of change were consisted of positive and negative themes. The themes of positive awareness were improvements of mental and emotional condition, feelings of isolation and loneliness, and health-related lifestyle. The negative themes were terminations of short-term programs and inconvenient access to the urban forest. Based on these data, we suggest an urban green welfare framework for future research and interventions for preventing dementia of underprivileged elderly group.
