“…The SHIFT was successful in maintaining the stability of collective forests, and was soon extended to other provinces and became the most popular regime in China (Song et al, 2004). However, despite its popularity the SHIFT system was far from efficient in terms of the operation of property rights.…”

China's recent collective forestry property rights reform (CFPRR) is regarded as the third Land Reform and has been implemented to accelerate China's rural restructuring. In departing from previous top-down policy changes, the CFPRR has focused on local collective practices and actions. It indicates a shift in China's rural governance, away from direct intervention towards support for local collective actions. Based on a case study of Hongtian Village, the origin of the CFPRR, this article analyzes the process of insinuating collective action and the impact that this has had in creating a new cultural understanding and acceptance of collective forestry property rights. In contrast to the relative insecurity of tenure that can accompany many reforms of the governance of common pool resources, the paper suggests that the success of the 'Hongtian model' mainly lies in high levels of process engagement by local people and effective interaction between villagers and the government. While not addressing all the issues associated with the inefficiency of the previous collective approach to forestry, the paper suggests that there are many transferable lessons to be learnt from the CFPRR, both within and beyond China.

“…La investigación del comportamiento innovador en el sector forestal y madera avanzó principalmente a través de estudios comparativos globales y estudios de caso en aquellos países líderes en la industria forestal global como son Australia y Nueva Zelanda (Bull y Ferguson 2006), Canadá (Schaan y Anderson 2002), China (Song et al 2004), Estados Unidos de América (Hansen et al 2014), Rusia (Akim et al 2014) y los Países Nórdicos (Stendahl y Roos 2008). En términos generales, la evidencia que se recopiló en estos trabajos revela que, a pesar de la ingente disponibilidad de recursos forestales de los países líderes, el dinamismo del intercambio comercial y el crecimiento del sector forestal global, los procesos de cambio tecnológico y adopción de innovaciones en la industria forestal tienen un ritmo menor a otras industrias igualmente relevantes y maduras a escala global como la agricultura o la industria farmacéutica (Hammett y Youngs 2002).…”

Dentro de las causas que explican este hecho se identifican problemas tales como la alta fragmentación y falta de acceso a información tecnológica relevante para las empresas forestales (Rosenberg et al 1990); inadecuadas estructuras de gestión empresarial para la innovación (Bull y Ferguson 2006); gobernanza institucional centralista e insuficientes incentivos públicos a la innovación empresarial (Song et al 2004); y predominio de una cultura o clima organizacional conservador poco proclive a la innovación (Hansen et al 2014); como los factores más relevantes.…”

This paper describes the forest fire dynamics in the city of Sanming in Fujian province, China, from 2000 to 2009 with a view to understand the number of fires and burned areas in different counties. It also includes the spatialtemporal distribution of fires and application of the Canadian Forest Fire Danger Rating System (CFFDRS). Daily forest fire data was provided by the Department of Wildfire Prevention of Sanming Forestry Bureau. FWI calculator v.7.0.2.76 was used in this study for analysing the weather parameter data. The results showed that a total of 818 fires and burned areas of 8721.16 ha were found during the study period of 10 years. However, the highest and lowest forest fires were found in Youxi county and Sanming district, respectively. Most of the fires with large burned areas occurred at 2 p.m. Moreover, occurrences of fires were found the highest and lowest in March and June, respectively. Based on FWI calculation, the highest danger rating value was found in March, 2009. This study proposes that it would be possible to manage regular forest fire occurrences through the application of CFFDRS. Finally, to plan the fire prevention and management in southern China and other tropical countries, this system has a great opportunity for further implementations.
