    Would ensuring property right contribute to managing forest protected areas? – Loss compensation in South Korea

    About 70 percent of Korea's land is mountainous, and by allowing private ownership, private forests account for 70 percent of the total the mountainous area. Under these circumstances, the designation of private forest reserves based on the Forest Protection Act contributes to protecting the ecosystem from deforestation. However, when forest protected areas are designated, property rights restrictions, such as the prohibition of harvesting trees, could arise, causing disputes between individuals and the government. One of the means to adjust such conflicts and pursue social equity is the loss compensation system. However, while analyzing the Forest Protection La w by applying forest management approaches as well as legal concepts of the constitution and administrative law, we found that loss compensations are largely impractical due to the structural specificity of the loss compensation system, which leads to the malfunction of forest governance. It is reported that the insufficient protection of property rights is not only a failure to resolve the conflict over the designation of forest protected areas but also a major stumbling block to expanding the zones. The conflict is expected to escalate in the future as the civic awareness of property rights on private forests is on the rise. This research identifies the causes of loss compensation impossibility by focusing on the structural specificity of the loss compensation regulations under the Forest Protection Act. The paper also presents alternatives to the limitations. These findings give us an insight that the guarantee of private property rights can contribute to strengthening integrated land use plans and improving forest governance through the management and expansion of protected areas.
