Abstract:

【Objective】 State-owned forest farms have already become one of the main parts of ecological construction. State-owned forest farms manage forest resources on behalf of the state. Forest resources are the core of the management of state-owned forest farms, therefore, forest resource management performance assessment is an important way to evaluate the management efficacy of the state-owned forest farms. From the perspective of forest resource management, on the basis of expert consultation, this paper develops a set of index system of performance evaluation of state-owned forest farm management. 【Method】From the management process and management result two state layers, the index system include forest cultivation, forest development and utilization, forest sustaining and protecting, forestry technology, forest resources state, ecological state, economic benefits and social benefits, totally eight topics, 35 indicators. Based on this index system, using the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and the distance function, through the expert scoring method to determine the weight of each indicator on total target, taking Jiangle state-owned forest farm of Fujian province as an example, the field investigation has been carried out to obtain the reference and the actual value of each indicator. It then calculates the comprehensive distance from the actual value to reference value of forest resource management of Jiangle state-owned forest farm, which assesses forest resources management performance of the state-owned forest farm. 【Result】Assessment results show that the distance value of management process is 0.139 2 and the distance value of management results is 0.129 5, the comprehensive distance value of performance management of forest resources is 0.268 7. This indicates that forest resources management performance of Jiangle state-owned forest farms is good. From the management process and management results respectively, the distance value of management process accounts 51.81% of comprehensive distance of forest resource management; the distance value of management results accounts 48.19% of comprehensive distance, which shows that the management results was slightly better than the management process. 【Conclusion】 Assessment result shows that Jiangle state-owned forest farm has achieved good level in forest resources management. However in the calculation of specific indicators also shows some problems: 1) the distance value of annual change rate in forest stocks is 1;2) distance value of increase rate of farm business revenue is 1;3) the distance value of the ratio tertiary industry output to forestry output is 1. Therefore the following suggestions are put forward: 1) To greatly develop under-forests economy (under-forests planting and breeding) and raise the productivity of forest land per unit area; 2) To actively reform the low yield forest by applying the related national policies, so as to further improve forest and increase the stocking volume per unit area;3) To adjust industrial structure, broaden the income channels, and speed up the development of the tertiary industry.
