Linking silvicultural aspects of pro-poor leasehold forestry for socio-economic benefits to the poor and vulnerable communities

Abstract: Government of Nepal has adopted different models like community forestry, leasehold forestry, collaborative forestry, buffer zone community forestry and public land agroforestry for management of forest resources. Poor focused leasehold forestry is only the approach adopted since early 1990 that has two major objectives: livelihood improvement and environmental conservation. Forest user groups of 5–15 households (HHs) are provided with part of national forests for a period of initial lease of 40 years. Leased forests are managed mainly with forestry crops, forage and non-timber forest products (NTFPs) to meet the dual objectives. Past studies and researches have indicated that leasehold forests are better than the hand over time however they are inadequate in dealing with silvicultural aspects in leasehold forestry (LF). This research paper has highlighted the significance of silvicultural aspects of leasehold forestry for overall socio-economic benefits to the poor and vulnerable forest users. Review of the existing policy and legal documents, studies and progress reports of the leasehold forestry projects implemented during the last two decades, consultation with leasehold forest user groups from five districts (Tehrathum, Makawanpur, Tanahun, Pyuthan and Doti) formed the main source of data for this article. Further, author’s own experiences in the sector were taken as supporting reliable information for the study. The study found that silvicultural practices, except plantations and weeding, were not adopted in leasehold forest but there was great potential for such practices to maximize the socio-economic benefits. Proper use of silvicultural practices might have increased contribution to currently realized benefits like (i) increased income of members i.e. poorest families (having less than 3 months secured foods) were reduced over years, (ii) group members had increased access to different networks and cooperatives, (iii) participation of women, poor and indigenous people increased in the decision-making process, and (iv) forest coverage was increased with respect to the hand over time. Some issues on silviculture aspects included proper guidelines for silvicultural methods, capacity of staff and leasehold forest user group members, smaller sizes of leasehold forests, and promotion of appropriate species.

Determinants of Residential Land Price:Structure Equation Model Analysis Using Land-leasing Parcel Data in Beijing

Abstract: Since the 1980s Chinese cities have experienced dramatic transformation of its land use system from free allocation toward a leasehold system.Recent literatures have paid attention to spatial features and determinants of land price in transitional Chinese cities,in comparison to its counterparts in advanced market economies.Recently,many scholars have adopted the hedonic model to examine influences of urban spatial structure and local public goods on residential land leasing price.Nonetheless,research on this issue has been limited by the lack of systematic data-especially spatial data-on land leasing parcels as well as other related data sources,and by the limitation of the hedonic model in establishing the complex causal relationship between land price and its determinants.In this paper,we establish a PLS-based structural equation model to quantitatively measure the influences of accessibility to job centers and key local public services on the leasing prices of residential land parcels in transitional urban Beijing.We use Beijing as our case city,and we are particularly interested in four latent variables,i.e.distance to job centers of Beijing,public transportation connectivity,accessibility to public services,and accessibility to amenities,on residential land price during 2004-2008,the period when the land leasing market has largely been established.Based on the analysis,we found that residential land price has obvious relevance with its location to the four latent variables and influential powers of these four latent variables on the residential land price are varied.We believe our research would enrich the existing knowledge of the emerging urban land market in transitional China,and provide information for further land and housing policy making.
