Performance Evaluation of Collective Forest Reform：A Perspective of Forestland Use Change

This paper carries out performance evaluation of collective forest reform through a perspective of forestland use change. Combining with questionnaire investigation, relevant suggestions are provided from the aspects of forestland protection, deforestation, and forestry technology. Results indicate that the area of young afforested land increases rapidly after the collective forest reform, which illustrates the reform arousing farmers’ enthusiasm on forestation. The forest land area decreases slightly, but bald woodland area increased. Those illustrate that deforestation area increased continuously after the reform, but the quality of forest resource improved. The increase of bamboo and nursery forest land area indicates that the forest and wood market become active after the reform, the demand of forest product assumes a growth trend.
