  • A Study on the Sustainable Management of Natural Teak Forests in Myanmar
    A study on the sustainable management of natural teak forests in Myanmar （ミャンマーにおけるチーク天然林の持続的経営に関 する研究） Tin Tin Myint A dissertation submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Forest Science Graduate School of Agricultural and Life Sciences The University of Tokyo 2012 Abstract Myanmar has been experiencing natural teak forest degradation, consequent affect of over-exploitation of teak above the prescribed cut limit, and challenging of restoring its degraded forests. The un-sustainable way of teak production from the natural forests of Myanmar is the main driving factor to point out the currently applied Brandis yield model for Annual Allowable Cut (AAC) of teak and to propose an alternative model for the yield regulation of teak. This study was composed of five chapters: introduction, study site and data set, preliminary analysis of teak conditions in natural forests, developing alternative approach for yield regulation, discussion and conclusion. Under the system of Myanma Selection System (MSS), it was believed that the future consistent supply of teak would be ensured by following AAC with the prescribed girth limit for exploitable teak trees and felling cycle of thirty-year. Through the preliminary analysis on existing yield model, this study addressed that no forest stands had been harvested in accordance with AAC. Decreasing girth limit and shortening felling cycles were observed in the selected research site. In fact, this yield regulation model was developed over centuries for the sustainable teak productivity of the virgin natural forests which were almost untouched by disturbances. The author also examined disturbance finding in each girth class of teak stock.

  • Pilot Introducing the River Basin Management Approach in ­Sittaung River Basin/Myanmar
    RESEARCH CAPACITY BUILDING Pilot introducing the river basin management approach in Sittaung River Basin/Myanmar Ingrid Nesheim, Zaw Lwin Tun, Toe Aung, Hla Oo Nwe River basin management, Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM), Water Framework Directive, Myanmar An important aim of the IWRM Institutional Building and Training project is to pilot test the river basin man- agement approach in Myanmar. The purpose is to investigate how cooperation between different sectors on river basin level, including stakeholder participation can be implemented in Myanmar. The Sittaung River Basin is selected as the case study area as it is a relatively small river basin, and as there are few, if any, ethnic conflicts in the basin. The practical water management tasks are implemented in Bago sub-basin of the Sittaung River Basin Area (RBA). The paper first describes the administrative governance system in My- anmar as this is an important baseline for introducing the river basin management (RBM) approach. The testing approach is then presented, also including practical water management tasks. Implementing the RBM approach involves organising coordination platforms for developing a River Basin Management Plan; a River Basin Area Committee, and a Non-Governmental Stakeholder Group. A pragmatic solution oriented approach in a small sub-basin can permit experiences that provide for valuable insight related to the overall aim of holistic and sustainable water management. In the paper challenges related to implementing the River Basin Management Approach in Myanmar are discussed. Introduction Myanmar has embraced the concept by adopting two The river basin management approach refers to coordi- policies, the National Water Framework Directive nated water management within the entire basin includ- (NWFD) and the National Water Policy (NWP).
