DocumentA study on the roles and efficient operations of Korea Forest Conservation Association as a support organization
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022
2022Also available in:
No results found.The Korea Forest Conservation Association (KFCA) is a special corporation under the Korea Forest Service, pursuant to Article 46 of Mountainous Districts Management Act. This study analyzes the current functions and state of operations in KFCA for areas with high social value. The main role of KFCA is to act as an expert in investigating the adequacy and validity of the use of forest land that is 30ha or larger; to research for policies that can help upgrade the system for mountainous regions and improve the evaluation of mountainous characteristics. This review provides a broad overview of the major roles and current work status of a forest-specialized organization in Korea, operated as a special corporation under the Korea Forest Service.

ArticleA study on a specialized flight safety management method to prevent accidents of forest fire-fighting helicopters (Focusing on accidents that occur in the process of loading water into a helicopter)

No results found.Climate change has had a significant impact on the frequency of forest fires and the extent of damage caused by such fires. Dry lands and strong winds have been the primary causes of large-scale forest fires, as proven by outbreak of forest fires throughout the world in the recent few years, including those in the US, Canada, Australia, and Russia. The most effective method for responding to forest fires that quickly spread through strong winds is aerial firefighting using an air tank or a helicopter. However, the lives of many crew members have been sacrificed as a result of helicopter crashes that have frequently occurred during forest fire-fighting in different parts of the world. Inability to prevent frequent accidents involving forest firefighting helicopters can give a negative perception to the pilots that forest firefighting is dangerous work, which can cause a sharp decrease in work efficiency and number of pilots taking part in forest firefighting. Moreover, protecting skilled pilots from accidents is also very important for preventing deforestation by forest fires and sustainable development. To prevent accidents of forest fire-fighting helicopters, the Flight Operations Quality Assurance (FOQA) Team was established in 2019 to collect and analyze flight data of aircrafts approaching reservoirs for recommending pilots who exceed the safe range to change their flight habits, as well as providing training opportunities to change the flight habits of pilots who are repeatedly exposed to risk samples. This article explains the flight method applied during the process of approaching reservoirs, flight data analysis method, and safety management methods on preventing crashes by improving unsafe pilot habits.

ArticleEmpirical study on the effects of technology training on the forest-related income of rural poverty-stricken house-holds—based on the PSM method

No results found.The implementation of technology training is essential to promote the commercialization of research achievements, and plays a crucial role in poverty alleviation in China. Based on the microcosmic survey data of farmers in four poverty-stricken counties officially assisted by National Forestry and Grassland Administration,the effects of technology training on forest-related income of rural poverty-stricken households is analyzed by using Propensity Score Matching (PSM) method. The study found that after eliminating the deviation from the self-selection and the endogenous issues, the forestry technology training has increased the total forest- related family income and forestry production and operation income by 3.09 times and 2.82 times, respectively. The effect of technology training on income increase is remarkable. Besides, the behavior of poor farmers participating in forestry technology training is significantly affected by the following factors, such as gender, age, family size, managed forestland area, whether they held forest tenure/equity certificate, whether they joined forestry professional cooperatives, and whether they cooperated with forestry enterprises. In order to further improve the effect of technology in poverty alleviation, the following policy recommendations are proposed, including: (1) to encourage poverty-stricken households to actively participate in forestry technology training; (2) to establish a diversified system of forestry technology training; and (3) to ensure the training content is based on the actual needs of the poor.
