| Collective forest area, south China has contributed to form the main forestralized areas in China, where several important lakes and rivers are located. Hence, the ecological concerns have been considerably paid towards protecting the limited forestry resources in this area. After liberation (1949), the legacy on the regulation of collective forest area, south China has experienced a series of changes, as result, many problems have been exposed. During 1980s to 1990s, the phenomenon of commericalizing the usage legacy for forests, wood and the place where forests grow profitably is discovered to be widely existed in a variety of places. Though this form of commercial trade is constructed on the basis of marketing forces, through which all kinds of different factors would be organized and contributed to enable to improve the sustainability of the forestry management, the marketing system has not been fully developed in China whereby. For fulfilling the objectives of sustainable development of forests in China, the attempts to diversify the management forms by categegorizing different forests were adopted in 1996. In China, forests are norminately categorized into two types according to their dominant functionality: public forestry and commercial forestry. Soon the issue about the property insecurity towards the public forestry was floated onto the surface after adopting the attempts of categorizing forests into two. The complexity of property issue existed in collective forest area, south China has profoundly decreased the sustainability in terms of forestry management. This paper attempts to investigate and analyse this property issue through comparing the historical and systematical shift of collective forest area, south China on the basis of existed law, economic regulation and the related theories. According to the findings of the existed problems around the property issues, the detailed contents for the forestry property legacy reformation will be given to enhance the sustainability of forestry management. The main conclusion has been summarized as the below:(1) The main problems existed in collective forest area, south China could be caused by the system itself or just caused during in the process of execution. In summary, the regulation associated with the property legacy of collective forest area, south China wasnot well defined. As result, the property legacy lacks security; and the commercilzation towards the property legacy driven by the marketing forces could be stucked. All these may seriously deterioriate the sustainability of the forestry management.(2) The blue print for the reformation towards the legacy property as to collective forest area, south China including the direction, objective, the main contents and the shifted styles for this reformation has been delineated. The direction of the reformation is to maintain the aggregated ownership without change; the objective of the reformation is to achieve the sustainable forest management; the main content of the reformation is to clear the property legacy, to form the efficient protection towards the forest property, achive coomercialization of the forest property under the marketing driving forces; and the reformation style should bind the compulsory shift and the incompulsary shift together.(3) The fundamental task of the reformation for the collective forest area, south China is to separate the property and the ownership, which could also be represented as the followings: the subject of the forestry must be clearly defined; the new generated property legacy ought to be instantly adjusted according to any shift caused by the new situation, the property legacy must be constructed on the basis of rationality; and finally the relationship regarding to the responsibility and power between the owners and the managers ought to be clearly defined.(4)In order to ensure the safety of forest rights, strategies such as weakening government power and establishing relative law seems necessary to be adopted. The study on safety of aggregated forest rights needs...
