Local non-timber forest products can be easily accessed by tourists. These also provide opportunities for tourists to experience the local culture. Many local governments are paying constant attention to the development of non-timber forest product brands to revitalize the local economy and increase the profits of local farmers. Although there are many forest products and tourism resources in each region of Korea, there is no local specialized strategy to sell non-timber forest products and promote consumers' purchase intentions. In this study, we aimed to explore the consumers' perceived creating shared value (CSV) and its association with purchasing behavior of non-timber forest products in Jeongeup city, Korea. Data were collected from 1,066 consumers who had purchased non-timber forest products. Purchasing patterns of local specialty products differed depending on consumers' perceived CSV levels. In addition, consumers with higher levels of perceived CSV showed higher awareness and familiarity with Jeongeup city and experienced Jeongeup city's non-timber forest products. Our findings suggest that improving consumer perception towards CSV of non-timber forest products can be used as a marketing strategy for local non-timber forest products to revitalize the local economy.

Reticulitermes speratus is commonly found in Asia, including Korea and Japan. We recently analyzed the 5' region of mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I to perform a phylogenetic analysis of R. speratus KMT1, isolated in Seoul, Korea. Our results, using COXI, suggest that the taxonomy of R. speratus should be reconsidered with regard to the subgenus group. A similar phylogenetic analysis by COXI and COXII demonstrated the reliability of COXI genetic information in a molecular phylogenetic analysis of termites.

This study was conducted to examine the functionality of the fire retardant treated wood. The hygroscopic property, leaching resistance, metal corrosive efficacy and gas toxicity of retardant treated wood were analyzed. Sodium silicate was penetrated to the wood for making fire retardant treated wood. The subsequent treatment agents such as boric acid, ammonium borate, di-ammonium phosphate were treated after sodium silicate treatment due to fixation. As results for the test, the leaching resist was improved by subsequent treatment. The fire retardant combination such as sodium silicate, boric acid and di-ammonium phosphate showed high hygroscopic property, metal corrosive efficacy. The gas toxicity was also satisfied KS standard.

The eco-friendly preservatives such as ACQ or CUAZ have been used in landscape architectural facilities these days. In this study, the decay efficacies of ACQ treatments were evaluated according to domestic veneer species, concentration of ACQ, weathering test, adhesive type, and fungus type. In case of veneer species, hinoki cypress and yellow poplar showed the highest and lowest decay resistance, respectively. And the decay resistance appeared to be greater in plywoods bonded by resorcinol resin-bonded plywood and non-weathering treated plywood than polyurethane resin-bonded plywood and weathering treated plywood.

Termites are wood pests that cause vast economic damage every year. They digest both cellulose and starch, but the enzymes for starch digestion have not been well characterized. We obtained complete amino acid sequence information on the KME1 ${\alpha}$-amylase from Reticulitermes speratus KMT1 through analysis of total mRNA sequences. The KME1 enzyme has two ${\alpha}$-amylase domains and is 68% identical to the ${\alpha}$-amylase from Blattellager manica, its closest relative in the GenBank database. Some unique features of its conserved region and its distant evolutionary relationship to other insect ${\alpha}$-amylases suggest that KME1 is a new type of ${\alpha}$-amylase.

This study examined differences in consumers' images of short-term income forest products, preference, willingness to pay prices and purchase behavior according to dietary lifestyle as well as investigated what factors influence the degree of satisfaction when purchasing short-term income forest products and willingness to repurchase. According to dietary lifestyle, the results classified consumers as 'frugal housewife type,' 'convenience-seeking type,' and 'food high-involvement type.' A 'food high-involvement group' is defined as a group that wants high quality products regardless of price. In the 'frugal housewife type,' country of origin and hygiene/safety (considered when purchasing food) had positive influences on the degree of satisfaction. In the 'convenience-seeking type,' country of origin (considered when purchasing food) had a positive influence on the degree of satisfaction while country of origin (checked when purchasing food) had a negative influence on degree of satisfaction. Consumers had a lack of perception for short-term income forest products; subsequently, short-term income forest products had a weakness of low access to consumers. Therefore, farms for short-term income forest products need to divide products into 'high-priced' luxury products and 'low-priced' frugal products according to dietary lifestyle characteristics, improve packaging status to enable consumers to check quality certificates, and clearly indicate country of origin as well as improve distribution processes and increase consumer access to products.

This study was carried out to quantify degree of contribution of harvested wood product (HWP) on mitigation of climate change by valuation of public benefits, environmentally and economically. The potential carbon dioxide emission reduction of HWP was estimated by accounting carbon storage effect and substitution effect. Based on 2014 statistics of Korea Forest Service, domestic HWPs were sorted by two categories, such as wood products produced domestically from domestic and imported roundwood. The wood products were divided into seven items; sawnwood, plywood, particle board, fiberboard (MDF), paper (including pulp), biomass (wood pellet) and other products. The carbon stock of wood products and substitution effects during manufacturing process was evaluated by items. Based on the relevant carbon emission factor and life cycle analysis, the amount of carbon dioxide emission per unit volume on HWP was quantified. The amounts of carbon stock of HWP produced from domestic and from imported roundwood were 3.8 million $tCO_{2eq}$., and 2.6 million $tCO_{2eq}$., respectively. Also, each reduction of carbon emission by substitution effect of HWP produced from domestic and imported roundwood was 3.1 million $tCO_{2eq}$. and 2.1 million $tCO_{2eq}$., respectively. The results of this study, the amount of carbon emission reduction of HWP, can be effectively used as a basic data for promotion of wood utilization to revise and establish new wood utilization promotion policy such as 'forest carbon offset scheme', and 'carbon storage labeling system of HWP'.

이 논문은 자연산 임산물에 대한 소비자 인식을 조사하여 수요측면에서 산림복합경영 활성화 방안을 제시하는 데 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 도시 가구 640명을 대상으로 인터넷 설문조사를 실시하였다. 소비자들이 산지재배 임산물을 구입하는 이유는 영양 효능과 안전성 때문이며, 같은 임산물이라도 밭 재배보다 품질이 우수하다고 응답하였다. 산지재배 임산물이 친환경 밭 재배 작물보다 선호되기는 하지만 자연산 인정 여부에는 차이를 보이지 않았다. 소비자들이 임산물 속성 가운데 중요시하는 요소는 품질과 효능으로 나타나 이를 강조하는 마케팅이 요구된다. 소득이 증가하면 신선도와 가격보다 자연산 여부를 중요하게 여기는 것으로 나타났으며 채취체험이 자연산 임산물 구매에 긍정적 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과들은 산림복합경영의 활성화를 위해 자연산 인증을 통해 소비자 신뢰를 획득하고 체험 관광과 연계하는 6차산업화 추진이 필요하다는 것을 시사한다.

임도는 산림자원의 조성과 관리, 그리고 목재와 단기소득 임산물 생산 운반 등 산림경영을 위한 필수적인 기반시설이다. 최근에는 산림 병해충 방제, 산불예방 및 진화뿐만 아니라 산림휴양과 산림스포츠 등에도 적극 활용되고 있다. 임도를 건설하면 산림 내에서 경제적 기능이 활성화되어 생산 및 부가가치 유발은 물론 고용창출의 파급효과를 가져올 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구의 목적은 임도를 건설함에 따라 경제 전반으로 발생하는 파급효과를 분석하는 것이다. 분석을 위해 산업 간의 상호연관관계를 수량적으로 분석하는 산업연관분석 방법을 적용하였다. 자료는 2014년 한국은행의 투입산출표를 사용하였다. 임도를 건설하면 임도 건설에 따른 경제적 효과도 발생하지만, 임도 건설 후 임산물 생산 증대로 인한 경제적 효과도 발생하게 된다. 따라서 두 가지 효과에 대한 경제적 파급효과를 분석할 것이다. 몇 가지 가정을 통해 임산물 재배의 경제적 효과인 임산물 생산액 예측치를 계산하고 경제적 파급효과를 분석하였다. 임도 건설부문은 농림수산토목 부문으로 정의하였고, 임산물 부문은 원목, 식용임산물, 기타임산물의 합으로 정의하였다. 임도건설과 임업임산물로 정의한 2개 부문을 제외하고 나머지 부문은 기존 한국은행 30개 통합대분류의 분류체계에 맞게 통합하여 총 32개 부문으로 분류하였다. 분석결과 임도건설에 대한 생산유발계수는 2.767로 분석되었고 임업임산물에 대한 생산유발계수는 1.565로 분석되었다. 이는 임도를 건설하면 임도건설에 따라 그 투자수요의 2.767배 만큼의 생산이 전체 산업에서 유발됨을 나타내고 임업임산물 생산 증대에 따라 전체 산업에서 임업임산물 생산액의 1.562배 만큼의 생산이 유발되는 것을 의미한다. 임도건설에 대한 부가가치유발계수는 0.977로 분석되었고 임업임산물에 대한 부가가치유발계수는 0.985로 분석되었다. 임도시설은 임업발전의 필수적인 기반시설로서 산림경영, 산림휴양, 산림스포츠, 마을연결 등의 기능과 함께 목재생산과 단기임산물 생산의 필수적인 요소이므로 지속적인 투자가 이루어져야 할 것이다.
