The community organization movement done after two dam construction is followed and the ideology of community organization and the plan were explained with the third chapter. The preservation of forest resources and development of sightseeing were made as a basic policy. The forestry countermeasure being written in the plan was examined at the end.
There were two proposals of paying attention to the labor countermeasure. Firstly, woods volunteer is expected to be a new forest worker. I pointed out that the agreement among the basin inhabitant was necessary first.
Secondary, as for the improvement of working condition, it is said that increase of income of forestry worker is necessary. I pointed out that governmental aid is necessary under the present bad condition.
Forestry work must be evaluated as for contributing to the environment preservation. Direct income compensation should be paid to the forestry worker.
