ABSTRACT

At the beginning of the 21st century, a new paradigm shift has occurred in contemporary Korean forest policies: from the preservation and technicalmanagement oriented goals towards the sustainable and integral development of forest area. This paper explores the elements and means to build the foundation of sustainable forest development. In particular, our study stress the importance of local development planning process based on the participatory governance system. For the purpose, we will analyze a French participatory local plan called "Charte forestieˋre de territoire" which is aimed for forest area development. CFT is a compelling example showing that a paradigm shift from 'sectoral and top-down approach' to 'local community(bottom up) and asset based approach' has been occurred in French local development policies. As an integral Forest area development plan, the CFT planning process embraces the respective and specific characteristics of public forests (State and locally owned forests) and privately owned forests alike. The purpose of our study is to derive significant implications for the sustainable development of Korean forest areas through this case study. In thiscase, French society discusses constantly about the question of appropriated territory and administrative system for sustainable forest development, which should be considered as a new foundation of local community building, will be significantly discussed.
