산림비점오염관리 거버넌스 구축을 위한 이해관계자 인식 및 참여의향 분석

Abstract

Forests, covering 64% of South Korea’s land, play a crucial role in maintaining watershed water quality. However, non-point source pollutantsoriginating from forests can spread across vast areas through various pathways, necessitating effective governance for forest non-point source pollution(FNSP) management. This study analyzes stakeholder perceptions and participation intentions regarding FNSP governance in Jeonbuk-do, a region withhigh pollution levels. The findings reveal that stakeholder perceptions vary by group, with academia, experts, and private sector representativesdemonstrating higher awareness than government and public sector groups. Additionally, significant differences in participation intentions were observedbased on age, education level, and stakeholder type. Notably, private sector stakeholders expressed a stronger willingness to participate compared togovernment and public sector groups. The analysis of governance requirements for FNSP management indicates that the most appropriate spatial scopeis at the city and county levels (mid-watershed). Regarding governance functions, academia, experts, and private sector groups prioritized issue selection,whereas government and public sector groups emphasized project implementation. To enhance stakeholder participation and improve FNSP management,it is essential to develop targeted strategies and guidelines that encourage engagement and establish effective governance structures.
