Abstract

ABSTRACT Pine nuts from stone pine are important non-wood forest products produced in Turkey. Thus, cooperative organizations engaged in the production and marketing of pine nuts play an important role in the development of forest villages in Turkey. This study reports and evaluates the effect of Kozak Subdistrict Agricultural Development Cooperative on economic development of the township. In this regard, a survey was conducted with 190 participants, and data were evaluated statistically. After villagers participated in this cooperative, forest villagers’ income from pine nuts increased and constituted 59.8% of total household income. Although the cooperative has no effect on the animal production of forest villagers, it has positive effects on migration, income level, agricultural production, land used for pine nut cultivation, fuel use and standards of living. Therefore, the number of cooperatives utilizing non-wood forest products should be increased, and efforts should be made to conserve non-wood forest products to increase their added value and sustainable use in the future.

非木材林产品生产合作社对农村发展的影响——以土耳其科扎克街道农业发展合作社为例

石松松子是土耳其重要的非木材林产品。因此，从事松子生产和销售的合作组织在土耳其森林村庄的发展中发挥着重要作用。本研究报告并评估了Kozak街道农业发展合作社对该镇经济发展的影响。在这方面，对190名参与者进行了调查，并对数据进行了统计评估。村民加入合作社后，森林村民的松子收入增加，占家庭总收入的59.8%。虽然合作社对森林村民的动物生产没有影响，但对迁移、收入水平、农业生产、松子种植用地、燃料使用和生活水平有积极影响。因此，应增加利用非木材森林产品的合作社的数量，并努力保护非木材森林制品，以提高其附加值和未来的可持续利用。

期刊介绍： Journal of Sustainable Forestry publishes peer-reviewed, original research on forest science. While the emphasis is on sustainable use of forest products and services, the journal covers a wide range of topics from the underlying biology and ecology of forests to the social, economic and policy aspects of forestry. Short communications and review papers that provide a clear theoretical, conceptual or methodological contribution to the existing literature are also included in the journal. Common topics covered in the Journal of Sustainable Forestry include: • Ecology, management, recreation, restoration and silvicultural systems of all forest types, including urban forests • All aspects of forest biology, including ecophysiology, entomology, pathology, genetics, tree breeding, and biotechnology • Wood properties, forest biomass, bioenergy, and carbon sequestration • Simulation modeling, inventory, quantitative methods, and remote sensing • Environmental pollution, fire and climate change impacts, and adaptation and mitigation in forests • Forest engineering, economics, human dimensions, natural resource policy, and planning Journal of Sustainable Forestry provides an international forum for dialogue between research scientists, forest managers, economists and policy and decision makers who share the common vision of the sustainable use of natural resources.
