The present study analyzes the diversity and usage of NTFPs and evaluates their importance in the day to day life of the people of rural Meghalaya. People use 172 NTFPs belonging to 139 plant species mainly for food, medicine and fuelwood and to a lesser extent for construction, handicrafts and ornamental purpose. These 139 plants belonged to 117 genera and 70 families with Rosaceae, Poaceae and Fagaceae families as the dominant NTFP yielding families. Fruits from shrubs and trees are most commonly harvested by people. Collection and availability of NTFPs for use as food are more during the summer season, which is also the period with least availability of job. NTFPs for subsistence use are greater in number than those having commercial value. The most commonly harvested plant parts are fruits and leaves. Roots, rhizomes and whole plants are extracted in lesser quantity which is a positive approach from sustainability point of view. NTFPs and other forest products also form a vital part of the rural household's income generation activities.

산지의 점유율이 높은 지역중 국유림의 비중이 큰 세 지역을 대상으로 국유림관리가 지역사회에 미치는 영향을 살펴본 결과, 그 영향은 지역사회와 국유림과의 연계 정도, 그리고 해당 국유림이 갖는 경제적 자원의 부존량과 가간시설의 존재여부에 따라서 다르게 나타났다. 국유림경영의 지역사회에 대한 기여는 토지자원제공, 산물공급, 고용기회제공, 사회간접시설제공 등의 측면에 있다. 지역사회내에서 공익사업의 증가로 국유림으로부터의 토지자원제공은 계속 증가하고 있으며, 국유림의 산물공급은 주로 산림부산물로서 지역주민들의 연간소득중 21.6%가 이러한 국유림의 임산물 생산으로부터 얻어지고 있었다. 국유림내에서 이루어지는 산림작업에 의한 지역사회의 고용기회 창출은 매우 적었고, 국유림내에 시설된 임도는 사회간접자본시설로서의 역할이 미약하였다. 따라서 자원이용의 한계와 낮은 수익성으로 인하여 국가의 투자정책 우선순위에서 소외되었던 국유임 소재 지역사회의 발전을 촉진시키기 위해서는 지역사회의 경제활성화에 도움이 될 수 있도록 국유림을 경영하여야 할 것이다.

Increasing demand for timber and the depletion of natural forest have encouraged utilization of many non-popular species. The understanding of wood properties and behavior is important to evaluate the potential of these species to produce high quality end products. This study determines the anatomical and physical properties of Hevea species viz Hevea pauciflora, Hevea guianensis, Hevea spruceana, Hevea benthamiana and Hevea brasiliensis. Each sample tree was cut into three different portions along the height (bottom- B, middle- M and upper -T parts) and two radial samples (outer- O and inner- I parts). H. brasiliensis clone RRIM 912 exhibited the longest fibre with $1214{\mu}m$, followed by H. benthamiana (HB, $1200{\mu}m$), H. pauciflora (HP, $1189{\mu}m$), H. spruceana (HS, $1158{\mu}m$) and H. guianensis (HG, $1145{\mu}m$). Fibre length has a positive correlation with specific gravity. The largest fibre diameter ($24.9{\mu}m$) and lumen diameter ($12.5{\mu}m$) were recorded in H. guianensis. The highest moisture content was obtained from H. spruceana (64.34%) compared to the lowest with 60.01% (Clone RRIM912). The higher moisture content is normally associated with lower strength. Overall, the properties of clone RRIM 912 is found to be comparatively better because of higher strength due to longer fibre length, thicker cell walls and higher specific gravity than the other Hevea species. Therefore, this species can be used as a general utility timber.

최근 5년간 단기소득임산물 생산량 및 생산액은 증가하고 있는 추세이며, 그 중에서도 산채(산나물) 생산액은 2017년 기준 약 4천억 원으로 전체의 14 %를 차지하고 있다. 산채 중에서도 특히 고사리, 취나물, 곤드레 등의 생산량 및 생산액은 꾸준히 증가하고 있지만, 산나물의 특성상 값 싼 수입산과의 가격경쟁이 심하고, 소비패턴의 변화가 거의 없는 점들로 인해 국내산 산채류 가격에 악영향을 미치고 이는 결국 산채 소비시장의 전반적인 소비 위축 현상을 불러일으킬 위험이 있다. 하지만 최근 소득수준의 향상과 건강에 대한 소비자들의 관심도가 증가함에 따라 건강에 좋은 웰빙 식품 선호 현상이 나타나고 있어, 지금이 산채 소비시장에서는 매우 중요한 시점이라고 할 수 있다. 이에, 본 연구에서는 산채 소비활성화를 위한 다양한 전략 및 정책 수립에 도움이 되기 위하여 소비자조사를 통한 산채에 대한 소비자들의 구매행태 및 소비행태를 분석하였고, 이와 더불어 소셜 빅데이터 분석을 통하여 산채에 대한 소비자 인식 및 의향을 파악하였다. 기존 연구들과는 달리 설문조사뿐만 아니라 SNS 소셜 빅데이터 분석을 통한 소비자 인식 및 의향 조사도 실시했다는 점에서 차별성이 있으며, 본 연구 결과가 향후 산채 소비 증진을 위한 전략 및 정책 마련에 있어 우선순위를 정하는데 도움이 될 것으로 판단된다.

Tropical bamboo species, which have a very rapid growth rate, are considered as a promising non-timber forest product capable of exhibiting new functionality by carbonization technology. This study was conducted to compare the characteristics of carbonized bamboos from Andong (G. pseuudoarundinacea (Steudel) Widjaja), Hitam (G. atrovialacea), Tali (G. apus), Kuning (B. vulgaris Var. striata (Lodd. Ex Lindl)), and Ampel (B. vulgaris Scharad. ex Wendland), and Betung (D. asper). Each bamboo was carbonized at 200, 400, 600, 800, and $1,000^{\circ}C$, respectively, and their physical and anatomical characteristics were investigated. The result showed that the volume and weight of carbonized bamboo decreased with increasing carbonization temperature and showed the substantial changes of volume and weight between 200 and $400^{\circ}C$. The highest and the lowest density of carbonized samples were found in Ampel bamboo and Betung bamboo, respectively. The density of all carbonized bamboos tended to decrease after carbonization at 200 and $400^{\circ}C$ and relatively become constant afterwards. The carbonized bamboo prepared at 800 and $1,000^{\circ}C$ showed better refining degree. The results of the anatomical observation showed that the vascular diameter of carbonized bamboo decreased with increasing carbonization temperature, and the shrinkage in radial and tangential direction showed similar tendency. Statistical analysis showed that there was significant correlation between physical contraction and anatomical contraction. Based on the results of this study, comprehensive data about Indonesian bamboo charcoals could be obtained and it will be useful for future application studies.
