Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to examine the forest management of villagers in the modern transition period, focusing on the journal of Munhwa Yu in Omi-dong, Gurye. There are many traces of Yu's efforts to continuously plant, manage, and sell trees to increase income, so it is important to observe planting patterns to understand the family's operation and life. In particular, the tangible industry is focusing on forest management and commercial activities to overcome the declining households as their material base weakens compared to the era of grandfather Yu Je-yang. In addition, it can be seen that planting trees was one of the lifelong plans by referring to it as a "ten-year work" or a "lifetime business." In fact, Yu’s tangible industry began full-fledged forest management activities as a head of household, and forest product sales gradually emerged as a major area of household income. Omi-dong, their residence, is surrounded by Jirisan Mountain and is also the background of the Yu family's use of the forest. Trees with high use and sales value as forest products such as pine trees and chestnut trees were planted on a large scale in the nearby mountains. It can be seen that these acts were passed down from generation to generation, and the value or importance of forests in the family was passed down to future generations. Yu's forest can be organized into three categories: first, it contributes to household management through the labeling and protection of private land; second, it contributes to the commercialization of forest products; and lastly, it repairs the village land damaged by floods. In addition, it is possible to grasp the characteristics of the times through conflicts caused by the introduction of forest policies and related systems in Japan and the response patterns of Gurye village residents.
