Abstract
This study was conducted to contribute to propose the improvement by looking into the use of private forest support system and then analyzing the status of support system and problems among forest owners. The study result showed that the recognition of private forest support system was 57.8% in sincere forest managers and 47.6% in forest successors, but only 17.6% in forest owner. The application experience was 79.2% in sincere forest managers, and 58.6% in forest successors, but 28.6% in forest owner which was significantly low as was shown in the recognition. Response on 'not knowing the support system' as the reason they were not able to ask for support was 36.1%, 43.0%, 78.6% in sincere forest managers, forest successors, and forest owner respectively in that order, which were the same results with the recognition. In the contrast, the effects of support for private forest management were higher in forest owner than sincere forest managers and forest successors, and overall level of satisfaction was also 28.5% in sincere forest managers and 36.8% in forest successors and 41.5% in forest owner. It turned out that forest owner who had somewhat low numbers of application had rather high satisfaction on overall management. Therefore, in order to attract active forest management from forest owner who take up most of forest owners in South Korea, the recognition on private forest support system is needed to improve and the local government and the Forestry Association should come up with active plans for public relations and support.
본 연구는 산주들을 대상으로 사유림 지원제도 이용 실태를 조사하여 지원제도의 현황과 문제점을 분석하여 개선방안을 제시하는데 도움이 되고자 수행하였다. 사유림 경영 지원제도의 인지도에 대해서는 독림가 57.8%, 임업후계자 47.6%인 반면 일반산주는 불과 17.6% 만이 인지하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 지원경험도 인지도와 마찬가지로 독림가 79.2%, 임업후계자 58.6%인 반면 일반산주는 28.6%로 현저하게 낮은 비율을 보였다. 지원을 신청하기 못한 이유로는 '지원제도를 모름'에 대한 응답이 독림가, 임업후계자, 일반산주 각각 36.1%, 43.0%, 78.6%로 나타난 인지도분석 결과와 유사한 경향을 보였다. 반면 사유림 경영 지원에 대한 효과정도는 독림가와 임업후계자보다 일반산주가 높게 나타났으며, 전반적인 만족도 역시 독림가 28.5%, 임업후계자 36.8%, 일반산주 41.5%로 나타나 오히려 다소 지원횟수가 적은 일반산주에게서 경영전반에 대한 만족도가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 이에 따라 우리나라 산주의 대부분을 차지하는 일반산주의 적극적인 산림경영을 유도하기 위해서 사유림 지원제도의 인지도 개선이 필요하며, 지자체와 산림조합의 적극적인 홍보대책과 지원정책 마련이 필요할 것으로 보인다.
