Development of a Forest Inventory System for the Sustainable Forest Management

摘要

This study was conducted to develop an efficient method of sampling design appropriate for the sustainable forest management. For this, data were collected in Yangpyung-Gun, Gyunggi Province based on three different sampling designs such as systematicdesign, systematic cluster design, and stratified cluster design. Based on evaluation statistics, the sampling designs were compared to select a sampling method fitted to sustainable forest management. It was found that the systematical cluster samplingis the most efficient sampling method in terms of feasibility for sustainable forest management. It was also recommended that the sample plots should be made as a cluster of triangle-shape. The clusters should be consisted of a main plot and three sub-plots. And the subplots should be arranged with a distance of 50m from the main plot in the center of cluster.
