Abstract:
“Mountain distribution to every family” is one of the main methods of present new collective forest right system reform, while the “co-owned property” remains the traditional method. This paper uses the social-ecological system (SES) analyzing frame and takes H village and L village of Fujian Province as examples to analyze the advantages and disadvantages of the two approaches of forest sources management. It points out that neither property distribution nor property integration can ensure our country’s forest resources developing permanently. A single mechanism can not solve all the problems, thus a big challenge is to improve the ecology system management from the wide social-ecology system perspective in order to make the relationship between human beings and forest more harmonic.
