摘要

农村社区依靠森林部门来满足其生存需要和维持经济福利。肯塔基州的森林部门为该州的农村社区提供了重要的经济和就业机会。尽管如此,人们对肯塔基州社区对森林部门的依赖与他们的经济福祉之间的关系知之甚少。在本研究中,我们根据地理条件将肯塔基州划分为三个区域,并考察了森林部门的经济贡献。我们使用2010年和2017年的共同社会经济指标,应用回归和相关分析来评估肯塔基州和三个地区森林部门依赖与经济福祉之间的关系。结果表明,尽管森林部门在农村社区的生计中发挥着关键作用,但其贡献通常被服务业和制造业等更大的部门所掩盖。因此,对森林部门的依赖通常与经济福利产生消极关系。研究意义:森林活动集中在农村和地理上困难的地区,其特点是中等收入较低,就业机会和基础设施有限。虽然森林部门在农村社区的生计中发挥着重要作用,但其贡献通常被服务业和制造业等大型部门所掩盖。政府对农村基础设施和劳动力培训的干预将有助于提高农村森林依赖社区居民的生计,使其摆脱持续贫困。这些结果可以应用于制定战略,倡导和促进政策,以确保森林部门在肯塔基州和具有类似社会经济条件的邻近州的经济中继续发挥作用。

Economic Contribution of the Forest Sector in Kentucky: Community Dependence and Economic Well-Being
Rural communities depend on the forest sector to fulfill their subsistence needs and maintain economic well-being. The forest sector in Kentucky provides significant economic and employment opportunities to the rural communities in the state. Despite this, little is understood of how Kentucky communities’ dependence on the forest sector is related to their economic well-being. In this research, we divided Kentucky into three regions based on physiographic conditions and examine the economic contribution of the forest sector. We applied regression and correlation analyses to assess the relationship between forest sector dependence and economic well-being for Kentucky and for the three regions using common socioeconomic indicators for 2010 and 2017. Results indicate that although the forest sector plays a critical role in the livelihood of rural communities, its contribution is usually overshadowed by bigger sectors such as services and manufacturing. Accordingly, dependence on the forest sector usually results in a negative relationship with economic well-being. Study Implications: Forest activities are concentrated in rural and geographically difficult areas characterized by lower median income and limited employment opportunities and infrastructures. Although the forest sector plays an important role in the livelihood of rural communities, its contribution is typically obscured by large sectors such as services and manufacturing. Government intervention in rural infrastructure and workforce training would help to raise the livelihood of those in rural forest-dependent communities from persistent poverty. These results can be applied to devise strategies and advocate for and facilitate policies that ensure a continued role of the forest sector in Kentucky’s economy and in adjacent states with similar socioeconomic conditions.
