Wei-An Chen and Jun-Yen Lee
Due to the factors of awareness of environmental protection in 90’s, reducing
domestic-harvesting logs supplies, and instability of wood product imports in terms of
quantities and price, Taiwan lumber industry has experienced the problems of sustainability.
This study will introduce multi-criteria analysis to explore the sustainable policy for the
industry by interviewing and sending questionnaires to local lumber manufacturers and
forest experts to collect information. The information will include the possible solutions
leading to the sustainability of the industry.
Our results will unveil the current sustainable issues on the industry, develop sustainable
indicators for the industry, and suggest the preferred policy for the industry’s sustainable
development.
