  • Opportunities and barriers for wood-based infrastructure in urban Himalayas

    Open AccessAlark Saxena, William Cole Buettner et al.ARTICLETrees Forests and People2022

    Nepal is a landlocked developing nation in a fragile mountain landscape vulnerable to seismic activity. The 2015 Gorkha earthquake highlighted how systemic social issues, such as poverty, rural-to-urban migration, and weak governance, exacerbate devastating impacts of natural disasters. Building wood-based infrastructure (WBI) can increase rural livelihoods through sustainable forest management and reduce rural-to-urban migration, while improving…

  • Analysis of challenges, costs, and governance alternative for peatland restoration in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia

    Open AccessDyah Puspitaloka, Yeon‐su Kim et al.ARTICLETrees Forests and People2021

    Restoration of degraded tropical peatland is considered to be one of the most cost-efficient measures in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and conserving biodiversity. Although benefits of restoration are often expected to substantially exceed the costs, most restoration projects are being carried out without clear cost analyses. This study provides empirical assessments of challenges and costs of the four peatland restoration projects managed by…

  • Where to put community-based forestry

    Open AccessAndika Putraditama, Yeon‐su Kim et al.ARTICLETrees Forests and People2021

    Community-based forestry (CBF) has been promoted as a potential win-win solution for improving forest conservation and livelihood outcomes. Incorporating location-specific factors from participants’ perspectives in the design and implementation of CBF has been noted as an important prerequisite for ensuring positive outcomes. This study investigates benefits and challenges of CBF perceived by participating farmers in two Community Forests (HKM – …

  • Coconstruction of Ecosystem Services Management in Tribal Lands

    Alicia Azpeleta Tarancón, Yeon‐su Kim et al.ARTICLEWeather, Climate, and Society2020

    The Mescalero Apache Tribal Lands (MATL) provide a diverse range of ecosystem services, many of which are of fundamental importance for the Mescalero Apache Tribe’s well-being. Managing forests on MATL, especially under climate change, involves prioritizing certain ecosystem services. We used an iterative survey of experts’ opinions to identify those ecosystem services that 1) have high utility—services that the Tribe uses, or could use, and are …

  • Non-state certification of smallholders for sustainable palm oil in Sumatra, Indonesia

    Open AccessErnawati Apriani, Yeon‐su Kim et al.ARTICLELand Use Policy2020Cited by: 2References: 43

    Rapid expansion of oil palm plantations is one of the leading causes of Indonesia’s continued deforestation over the past decades. To reverse this trend against the wave of increasing global demand for palm oil, non-state certification programs, such as the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO), have been promoted to ensure sustainable palm oil production. However, limited empirical studies exist for understanding how RSPO is perceived and pr…

    Yeon‐su Kim, Yeon-Su Kim et al.ARTICLEThe Pacific Review2018Cited by: 1References: 8

    The need for new and stronger middle power diplomacy is growing as global challenges are increasingly governed by various horizontal inter- and trans-national networks. Climate change is one of the most complex and urgent global challenges that require collective action, and it is an issue for which more middle power leadership is greatly needed. The Republic of Korea (ROK) has been successful in becoming a primary actor in green growth governanc…

  • Forest density preferences of homebuyers in the wildland-urban interface

    Open AccessEvan E Hjerpe, Evan Hjerpe et al.ARTICLEForest Policy and Economics2016Cited by: 1References: 2

    In the fire-prone Western U.S., the scale of surrounding forest density can be realized by homebuyers as an amenity for aesthetics and cooling effects, or as a disamenity in terms of wildfire risk. There has been a lack of academic attention to understanding this duality of forest density preferences for homebuyers in at-risk Wildland Urban Interfaces (WUIs). To fill this gap, we investigated the influence of forest density on WUI house sales in …

  • Promises and Perils of Decentralized Forest Governance

    Jae Soo Bae, Yeon‐su Kim et al.ARTICLESociety & Natural Resources2014Cited by: 7References: 3

    Indonesia's forest management unit (Kesatuan Pengelolaan Hutan or KPH) system can be a promising mechanism for balancing international and national interests for global carbon mitigation initiatives with local interests in project implementation. We discuss the potential role of the KPH system in implementing REDD+ (Reducing Emission from Deforestation and Forest Degradation) projects and improving decentralized forest governance. Substantial fin…

    Thirty-one articles on community forestry, encompassing 69 case studies worldwide, were reviewed for systematic data synthesis and hypothesis testing. The meta-study identifies 43 independent variables ranging from internal attributes of the community and resources to external factors. Variables with significant influence on the success of community forestry are tenure security, clear ownership, congruence between biophysical and socioeconomic bo…

  • The Impact of Forests and Forest Management on Neighboring Property Values

    Yeon‐su Kim, Yeon-Su Kim et al.ARTICLESociety & Natural Resources2002Cited by: 6

    Previous hedonic studies have shown the positive contribution of forests to neighboring property values. However, they failed to address the differences in the economic contribution resulting from the changes in forest management practices. This study estimates the contribution of forests and forest management to property values around McDonald-Dunn Research Forest near Corvallis, OR. We investigated the economic effects of proximity to the fores…
