Abstract

This study is about the actual condition of forest devastation in North Korea and the cooperative plan between South and North Korea for the restoration. In other words, it aims to derive policy implications for 'forest restoration' from the phenomenon of severe forest devastation in North Korea. It is because forest devastation in North Korea causes floods, droughts, and soil losses on the Korean Peninsula, adding to food shortages, and assuming that the future unification of the two Koreas, the cost of forest restoration in North Korea will increase environmentally and economically. Therefore, this study derives policy implications by examining the causes and conditions of forest devastation in North Korea and comparing the differences and commonalities of forest policies in South and North Korea through analysis of forest policy strategies in North Korea.

본 연구는 '북한 산림 황폐화 실태와 복구를 위한 남·북한 협력방안 연구'이다. 즉, 북한지역의 심각한 산림 황폐화 현상에 '산림복구'를 위한 정책적 시사점을 도출할 수 있도록 목표로 한다. 이러한 이유는 북한의 산림 황폐화는 한반도의 국토 이질화 현상과 더불어 홍수·가뭄·토양 유실을 유발하여 식량난을 가중시키며 미래 남북한 통일 이후를 상정하였을 때 북한의 산림복구 비용은 시간이 지날수록 환경·경제적인 문제가 크기 때문이다. 따라서 본 연구의 구성은 북한지역의 산림 황폐화 원인과 실태를 고찰하며 북한지역의 산림 정책전략에 대한 분석을 통해 남·북한의 산림정책에 대한 차이점과 공통점을 비교함으로써 본 연구의 정책적 함의를 도출하는 것이다.
