摘要

在台灣，造林成本高造成私有林主無意投入森林經營工作，結果造成森林衰退和經濟產出下滑等負面影響。而私有林主入適當森林管理，對刺激山村經濟、促進社會穩定及提升環境品質極其重要。本研究目的即為善用從森林疏伐之未成熟材，如小徑材作為林主穩定的收入來源。本研究調查使用小徑材做為國民小學校課程的組裝材料包之可行性。據估計，此一產品約有新台幣2.6億元的產值，約相當於政府補貼8647 ha造林面積20年的造林獎勵金，即私有林主可從製作疏伐材料的組裝材料包獲得NT$600,000/ha，研究建議此方案可做為生態補償之可行選項之一。此外，此策略可望能提高人工林管理、促進有效的公民參與，並提高私有林主之收入。

In Taiwan, the high cost of afforestation discourages private forest landowners from investing in forest management. As a result, negative impacts occur, such as forest degradation and a downturn of economic output. To facilitate proper forest management by private forest landowners, it is important to stimulate village economies, promote social stability, and improve environmental quality. The goal of the study was to activate farmers' resourcefulness in utilizing juvenile wood from forest thinning and growth operations such as small-dimension wood as a more-stable source of income. This study investigated the profitability of promoting the use of assembly kits of smalldimension wood as curricular teaching resources in public elementary school classrooms. It was estimated that the market would be worth NT$260 million, equivalent to 20 years of current afforestation subsidies covering 8647 ha in Taiwan. In view of the estimated worth of NT$600,000/ha for private forest landowners to manufacture assembly kits with forest thinning materials, results of this research recommend this desirable practice to be used as an alternative for ecological compensation approaches. In addition, this practice is expected to enhance plantation management, facilitate effective public involvement, and increase forest landowners' income.
