“…Policy arrangement refers to the 'temporary stabilisation of the content and organisation of a particular policy domain ' (van Tatenhove et al, 2011, p. 13). Scholars applied this analytical concept mainly to environmental issues, including forest governance (Ayana et al, 2018;Dang et al, 2016;Mustalahti et al, 2017;Park, 2015;van Gossum et al, 2011), irrigation water governance (Munaretto & Battilani, 2014), the European Union Air Quality Directive (Lenschow et al, 2017) and climate change adaptation (Boezeman & de Vries, 2019;van Eerd et al, 2014). We found two interesting applications of the policy arrangement approach within the context of spatial and urban planning.…”

“…Plan analysis unveils three different specifications for this area. According to the cantonal structure plan, it is designated as building land, and the regional structure plan even describes it as an area of higher density due to its proximity to the train station (Amt für Raumentwicklung Kanton Zürich, 1995, 2015Zürcher Planungsgruppe Knonaueramt, 1998). Conversely, the local zoning plan designates it as open space located within the core zone of the municipality (Amt für Raumentwicklung Kanton Zürich, 2019a).…”

Many countries use spatial planning instruments to coordinate interests in land use and influence land-use change. In Switzerland, the cantonal structure plan (kantonale Richtplan) serves as the main spatial planning instrument at the cantonal level. Coordinating land-use interests and influencing land-use change requires 'regional governance capacities'. This paper presents an analytical concept of regional governance capacities in spatial planning using the policy arrangement approach and drawing from the spatial planning implementation and evaluation literature. The canton of Zurich, with its embedded cases on the regional and local levels, serves as the case study for testing the analytical concept. Empirical evidence from qualitative interviews, observations and document analyses reveals a coexistence of various regional governance capacities within the canton of Zurich. Whereas regional governance capacities regarding the promotion of inner development in urban areas emerge as high, the results unveil mixed regional governance capacities when it comes to coordinating transport and land-use planning. To make judgements about regional governance capacities in spatial planning, it is essential to observe various spatial challenges, spatial scales and local examples.

“…In terms of inter-Korean forest cooperation, only a few researchers have conducted such an assessment. Park (2015), for example, analyzed South Korean policies for inter-Korean forest cooperation and suggested several ways to improve bilateral forest cooperation policies based on the analysis results. Compared to Park (ibid.…”

Deforestation is a severe environmental problem in North Korea. Beginning in 2001, the government implemented ten-year reforestation projects with few positive outcomes. Inter-Korean forestry cooperation began in 1999. Local governments and NGOs were the main implementers of cooperative projects from South Korea. The two Koreas had also been seeking financial and technical support from international organizations. This study examines the cooperative networks between government agencies, NGOs, and international organizations and financing possibilities to identify the reasons why so little has been accomplished. It also provides a meaningful contribution to the understanding of comparative relationships among the stakeholders and practical recommendations to improve the effectiveness of cooperative forestry programs in North Korea.

“…Its forest age is more than 80 years. Wonsan, which is located on the east coast of North Korea, is one of the focus areas for restoring deforested North Korean forests [11,49]. Honghuaerji forest is located in a sandy area with a relatively young forest stand age.…”

“…Temperate forests in South Korea and Japan were restored during the 1960s to 1970s, and now both countries have successful restoration outcomes, with the aim of sustainable forest management [11]. As a case in point, the forest growing stock volume (GSV) in South Korean forests was 10.5 m 3 /ha in 1952, and it reached 100.4 m 3 /ha in 2007 [12].…”

The mid-latitude ecotone (MLE)—a transition zone between boreal and temperate forests, which includes the regions of Northeast Asia around 30°–60° N latitudes—delivers different ecosystem functions depending on different management activities. In this study, we assessed forest volume and net primary productivity changes in the MLE of Northeast Asia under different ecological characteristics, as well as various current management activities, using the BioGeoChemistry Management Model (BGC-MAN). We selected five pilot sites for pine (Scots pine and Korean red pine; Pinus sylvestris and P. densiflora), oak (Quercus spp.), and larch forests (Dahurian larch and Siberian larch; Larix gmelinii and L. sibirica), respectively, which covered the transition zone across the MLE from Lake Baikal, Russia to Kyushu, Japan, including Mongolia, Northeast China, and the Korean Peninsula. With site-specific information, soil characteristics, and management descriptions by forest species, we established their management characteristics as natural preserved forests, degraded forests, sandy and cold forest stands, and forests exposed to fires. We simulated forest volume (m3) and net primary productivity (Mg C ha−1) during 1960–2005 and compared the results with published literature. They were in the range of those specified in previous studies, with some site-levels under or over estimation, but unbiased estimates in their mean values for pine, oak, and larch forests. Annual rates of change in volume and net primary productivity differed by latitude, site conditions, and climatic characteristics. For larch forests, we identified a high mountain ecotype which warrants a separate model parameterization. We detected changes in forest ecosystems, explaining ecological transition in the Northeast Asian MLE. Under the transition, we need to resolve expected problems through appropriate forest management and social efforts.
