JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe importance of tropical forest for rural people has not yet been evaluated properly. The objective of this research was to examine the changes in the pattern of heat energy consumption, use of timber in construction and associated changes in tropical forest. This study was conducted from 1997 to 1999 and the site consisted of six villages in northeastern Thailand. 99 households (14.2%) were selected at random. Data was collected from the questionnaires, personal interviews, direct observations and measurements. All the households planting trees on their private land were also interviewed. It was clear that fuelwood was the main source of heat energy and charcoal was its complement. Recently however, the use of gas and electricity has become popular. Although villagers continue to use wood as building material, they have adopted cement and concrete as substitutes for construction timber. These substitutes are bought at the city market and not always obtained by barter system or personal relations within the village. In order to deal with the shortage of wood in future, private reforestation has been seriously considered and villagers have started planting trees on their private land.View full abstractDownload PDF (863K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSFarm forestry in tropical areas is an effective method for reforestation, but farm forestry in Vietnam has been little studied. The objective of this study is to investigate the factors that promote expansion of farm forestry. We selected two villages that actively practiced farm forestry in northern Vietnam. Information about the history of villages and reforestation projects was obtained from interviews with village leaders and government officials. Household surveys and interviews concerning reforestation activities were conducted in 25% of all households in the two villages. The study site is located near the circulation route of pulpwood and cinnamon bark and its altitude is suitable for the growth of cinnamon. In the study site, many reforestation projects were introduced with various tree species under the "Land Allocation" policy. Many households expected income from cinnamon and participated in the reforestation projects. However, busy households with livestock, large home gardens, and/or off-farm activities prefer styrax, a fast-growing species that needs little management. Here, farmers selected tree species based on their livelihood activities and planting objectives. This study suggests that several factors should be considered for implementation of farm forestry, including government policy, natural conditions, access to markets, and farmer's livelihood activities.View full abstractDownload PDF (655K) -
