由构树 (Broussonetia Kazinoki Siebold) 纤维制成的韩国纸坚韧、非常坚固且柔韧，并且不含酸，比酸性西方纸张的使用寿命更长。因此，它被广泛用于存储重要的文件和记录。与西方纸张相比，它还具有透气、柔软的触感、吸水性和隔音性等优异特性，已被用于生活必需品和工艺材料等多个领域。然而，由于农村劳动力减少和老龄化、韩国劳动力成本上升、从中国和东南亚进口廉价原材料增加以及需求减少等因素影响，全年经营成功变得越来越困难，大多数韩国造纸制造商都关门了。韩国造纸农家的数量也在迅速减少，这意味着韩国构树的生产基础正在下降。然而，目前几乎没有对生产构树的农家或韩纸制造商进行研究。因此，本研究旨在通过调查构树生产农舍的种植状况和韩国造纸制造商的经营状况，确定激活韩国造纸产业和农舍构树生产的方法。结果发现，构树种植需要从利用小田和剩余土地的小规模生产转向利用森林和田地的规模生产。人们还发现，韩纸的生产需要政府的支持和管理，以便制造商能够建立清晰的韩纸概念，并区分其特点，以保持传统韩纸的活力。
Korean paper made from paper mulberry (Broussonetia Kazinoki Siebold) fibers is tough, very strong, and pliable, and, being acid–free, it lasts longer than the acidic Western paper. It has, therefore, been used widely for storing important documents and records. It also has excellent characteristics, such as ventilation, a soft touch, water absorption, and soundproofness compared with the Western paper, and it has been used in a number of fields, including living necessities and craft material. However, most Korean paper manufacturers are closed, because it is becoming difficult to run successful businesses all year round as business is being influenced by the decreases and aging of the labor force in farming villages, the increase of labor costs in Korea, the increase of imports of cheap raw materials from China and Southeast Asia, and the decrease of demand. The number of Korean paper producing farmhouses is also decreasing rapidly, meaning the production basis for paper mulberry in Korea is in decline. However, there have been almost no studies on farmhouses producing paper mulberries or Korean paper manufacturers. This study, therefore, was intended to determine a way to activate the Korean paper manufacturing industry and the paper mulberry production among farmhouses, by examining the cultivation status of paper mulberry producing farmhouses, and the operating status of Korean paper manufacturers. As a result, the cultivation of paper mulberries was found to need to move away from small–scale production using small fields and remaining land, toward large–scale production using forests and fields. It was also found that the production of Korean paper needs the support and management of the government so that manufacturers can establish a clear concept of what Korean paper is, and differentiate its characteristics in order to keep traditional Korean paper alive.
