DocumentA study on the ecotourism cooperation using the forest cultural heritage in South and North Korea - Focusing on the Geumgangsan Yusan-gi (Geumgang mountain travels)
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022

No results found.Forest restoration and ecological protection in North Korea require a variety of approaches.
This research focuses on the Geumgangsan Yusan-gi, a shared forest cultural heritage between the two Koreas, to find ways to collaborate with ecotourism.
Is ecotourism a novel approach to Inter-Korean forest cooperation?
What are the advantages and prospects of working together on ecotourism projects centered on the Geumgangsan Yusan-gi?
To achieve the study's goal, North Korean literature data were reviewed and analyzed, and value models for ecotourism cooperation were investigated using content analysis of the Geumgangsan Yusan-gi.
Inter-Korean forest cooperation has primarily focused on planting and management to prevent forest devastation in North Korea.
Forest cooperation needs to develop into a scalable project that connects peace and tourism.
Ecotourism has the potential to be a new model for inter-Korean forest cooperation.
First, ecotourism cooperation pursues reciprocity.
Second, ecotourism is a sustainable project different from one-time support.
Third, ecotourism can be backed by the international community and promoted readily in the face of North Korean sanctions.
Fourth, the ecotourism cooperation project is in line with the Kim Jong-un administration's current tourism policy.
Fifth, the inter-Korean collaboration project based on the two Koreas' shared forest cultural legacy is a unique initiative rooted in Korea's history and tradition.
The Geumgangsan Yusan-gi can promote ecotourism cooperation, such as joint inter-Korean investigation and program development and operation.
To become a reality rather than a pipe dream, this proposal must overcome some obstacles, including the US and international community sanctions against North Korea.
Civil society organizations, such as forests and environmental organizations, play an important role in peace initiatives such as ecotourism and forest cooperation.

ArticleReducing risks from forest fire and disasters through a community-based forest fire brigade (MPA), a case study in Danau Sentarum National Park
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022

No results found.The TNBKDS is an exotic ecosystem and has designated as one of the world biospheres reserves. The Park is also inhabited by around 6,000 people. Ecotourism, biodiversity, and cultural value attracts many domestic and international tourists. However, the park has high-risk from forest fire and flooding. During 2014-2019, forest fire in the park is recorded at the average of 206.6 Ha. The lake has also experienced in regular flooding. Reducing these risks should involve community by strengthening their capacity to protect their home. Consultations and SWOT analysis was used to map community capacity and to rank the threat. Opportunities on livelihood improvement is also identified to develop approach and strategy in reducing risks and improving their income. A GIS tool was used to monitor forest fire. A total of 10 MPA were established in 10 villages, involving 300 peoples (300 households). From series of consultations, 100% agreed that community need to involve in combating forest fire and reducing the damage from flooding. FIP-1 provides forest fire equipment, as well as series of training on forest fire, forest monitoring using GPS, alternative income activities such as bee keeping, fish processing, and women empowerment. Establishment of MPA and implementation of forest patrol for the period of 2018-Jun 2021 has directly protected a forest area from forest fire of 11,265 ha and non-forest area of 82,481 ha. Community participation is the key success of reducing risks from forest fire. Training program is also essential to support community capacity in reducing hotspots and to provide alternative income for their sustainable live within the national park.

DocumentExamining the applicability of UAV-based photogrammetry to assess sediment yield from small fire-affected forests
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022
2022Also available in:
No results found.Forest clearance after a fire is commonly implemented in fire-affected forests in South Korea, removing damaged vegetation and ash-litter layers. It undoubtedly affects hydrological processes, thereby leads to severe soil erosion to the downstream waterbodies such as stream, reservoir, dam. Therefore, accurate understanding of the magnitude of sediment yields is a prerequisite to implement the sediment control measures in the fire-affected region. Over the past decades, direct field measurement of sediment yields has been conducted over the world, particularly in South Korea. The traditional field survey has restricted to the application due to requiring a lot of labor and time and is only used to small and limited area. In this study, we tried to overcome the limitations of traditional approach by monitoring the sediment yield variations through images obtained from UAVs. For this purpose, direct field survey and UAV image-based photogrammetry were conducted on erosion control dams located in the downstream of mountain terrain. A comparison of sediment deposition in the dams were done to assess the applicability and reliability of UAV photogrammetry in forest sectors. The results show that UAV-derived photogrammetry technique can be considered as the alternative of field surveying when estimates the relief and terrain shape in a site where direct access and available resource are limited. This study may introduce a simple and accurate methodology for measuring soil loss and sediment yield on degraded mountain areas. Keywords: Monitoring and data collection ID: 3623072
