【 摘 要 】

Utility of a typology of timber artisanal loggers, in order to contribute to the formulation of public policy on logging in Orientale province (DRC). Description of the subject. This paper discusses the types of wood artisanal loggers, in order to assist in the formulation of public policy on logging in Orientale province (DRC). Objectives. The objective was to characterize artisanal timber in order to propose the establishment of legal channels to increase the contribution of this product to the national economy. Method. Surveys were conducted with 412 artisanal loggers active in 23 villages in Orientale province between 2010 and 2012. Factor analyses for mixed data (FAMD) and hierarchical classification on principal components (HCPC) were performed. Results. Three types of artisanal loggers were distinguished: (1) sawyers of provincial origin who supply local markets in Kinshasa; (2) sawyers of local origin that serve local markets; (3) sawyers from the other provinces of Orientale province, supplying markets in Kivu and Uganda. Conclusions. Taking into account the specificity of each of these groups of artisanal operators could improve the development and implementation of public policy measures needed to secure and formalize logging activity.
