| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 森林環境暨資源學研究所 === 99 === To retrieve leased national forestlands, the government has started a compensation program to encourage leaseholders to return their leased forest lands voluntarily since 2003. The Experimental Forest of National Taiwan University began to carry out the compensation program in 2008. This paper aims to study the determinants that affect leaseholders to return leased forestlands by examining the leased forestlands in the Experimental Forest. Besides, multinomial logistic regression analysis is applied in this study applies.
The study result shows that accessibility, type of contract, number of tenants and area size of leased forestlands are major factors affecting leaseholders to return their leased forestlands. Leaseholders have the less accessible forestlands and the less secure contracts; they have the higher probability to return their leased forestlands. A leased forestland with more tenants and larger or smaller size of area is less chance to be retrieved. The result indicates that the theorems of land rent, property right and transaction costs are valid to explain the behaviors of leaseholders.
