Evaluation of Farmer's Satisfaction at Supporting Measures of Collective Forest Tenure Reform:A Case Study in Fujian Province

Collective forest tenure reform is conducive to increase farmers' income and raise their great enthusiasm for protecting and managing forest. Supporting measures have played the important role in forest tenure reform. Taking Taining County and Jiangle County in Sanming city, Fujian Province as the research object, we select infrastructure and forestry promotion as the main survey contents. The former one includes environmental sanitation and road construction, while scientific and technical knowledge, market information, pest and disease control, anti-theft logging and forest fire are investigated to make analysis of the effects of forestry promotion. Firstly by descriptive analysis on the survey results, we have a general understanding of farmers' satisfaction at supporting measures. Then we have quantitative evaluation of the overall satisfaction at the supporting measures of collective forest tenure reform by AHP and fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method. The results show that more than half of the farmers are quite satisfied with the supporting measures of collective forest tenure reform, which interprets that farmers are quite satisfied with the supporting measures in our country. However there are still large flaws in the infrastructure building and technology services, and the advices are given for them.
