The purposes of this study are to investigate the relationship between forestry management intention (FMI) and management behavior for three typies of forest ownership samples, i.e. national forest tenants, private forest landowners and both. The data was based on the 1990 Forestry Census completed by Directorate-General of Budget, Accounting and Statistics, Executive Yuan. The logit probability model was applied to determine whether the probability of FMI varied by management behavior. Results showed that, in private forest sample, the probability of FMI is higher in bamboo management than timber management. Bamboo management, non-timber forest products management and labor availability are major factors affecting the FMI in national forest tenants sample. Due to the revenue variable has negative effect on FIJI in all three types, it may imply that after forests have been harvested, the land tended to be left in devastated conditions or for unconservational uses.
