The Research On Satisfaction Assessment Of Collective Forest Tenure Reform In Hunan Province From The Perspective Of Stakeholders

Hunan Province is an important province in the southern collective forest area,and the collective forest land accounts for more than 95%of the forest land in Hunan Province.After 2014,the reform of "three rights division" has promoted the flow of forest land elements,and a number of new business entities have been formed in Hunan Province,promote the carbon sequestration and storage capacity of forestry and realize common prosperity.The study is of great practical significance and theoretical value as it explores the satisfaction of forest reform among stakeholders such as village collectives,farmers,new management entities and grassroots government.Based on a comprehensive review of the reform of collective forest tenure reform in Hunan Province,this study is based on four types of questionnaire data in 18 villages in 3 counties of Hunan Province,based on the "Collective Forest Tenure System Reform Re-evaluation" project of the National Forestry and Grasses Bureau,with government managers and collective forest operators as the research objects.The study explores the law of stakeholders’ satisfaction with forest reform from two aspects:satisfaction with forest reform performance and satisfaction with forest reform policy.First,evaluating the performance satisfaction of government managers in terms of ecological benefits,economic benefits,and social benefits,and the performance satisfaction of collective forest operators in terms of direct benefits and indirect benefits;then,evaluating the performance satisfaction of government managers and collective forest operators in terms of main reform and supporting reform;then,we compare the results of this study with the results of existing literature studies.Finally,we propose corresponding countermeasures.According to the satisfaction assessment,① government managers are more satisfied with the performance and policy of forest reform than collective forest operators;②in terms of satisfaction with the performance of forest reform,government managers are more satisfied with social benefits>economic benefits>ecological benefits,and collective forest operators are more satisfied with indirect benefits>direct benefits;③in terms of satisfaction with the policy of forest reform,both types of stakeholders are more satisfied with the main reform than the supporting reform.Both types of stakeholders are more satisfied with the main reform than the supporting reform.The comparison between this study and the results of existing literature revealed that:foresters were not satisfied with forestry income and government managers were not satisfied with ecological benefits,which were significantly different from the results of existing literature.Based on the results of the study,this study proposes:establishing an interest expression mechanism;improving forestry income of foresters through multiple channels;doing a good job of forestry reform to check the leaks and fill in the gaps;building a trading platform for forest rights and forest land transfer;and improving the timber harvesting system and ecological public welfare forest compensation mechanism.
