Abstract

ABSTRACT Private forest owners’ management decisions significantly impact the development of forest values in Sweden. This study explored the potential to develop environmental values on privately owned land in southern Sweden. Data were collected through interviews with 23 forest owners and analyzed with semantic content analysis. The interviewees owned estates of productive, predominantly coniferous forest ranging in size from 10–825 ha. They were aged 36–84, and 26% were female. Results showed that there is considerable potential to develop environmental values on private land since 1) Forest owners demonstrated multi-functional views of primarily social and emotional dimensions surrounding forest ownership, and the mindset of combining goals enables many different values to be developed, 2) Desired management showed numerous ideas that could bring a diversity of benefits, and 3) Practical management included various production-favoring measures, but even more for environmental, social, cultural, and emotional purposes that, largely unnoted, bring environmental conservation benefits. All forest owners perceived barriers to management and ownership, categorized primarily to structural or surrounding society factors. Financial incentives, policies encouraging forest owners’ initiatives, an adequate supply of resources and sound management advice are suggested measures to reduce barriers and facilitate the development of environmental values.
在瑞典南部私有林地开发环境价值的潜力
私人森林所有者的管理决策显著影响瑞典森林价值的发展。这项研究探讨了在瑞典南部私有土地上开发环境价值的潜力。通过对23名森林所有者的访谈收集数据,并进行语义内容分析。受访者拥有以针叶林为主的生产性林地,面积从10-825公顷不等。他们的年龄在36-84岁之间,其中26%为女性。结果表明,由于1)森林所有者表现出围绕森林所有权的主要社会和情感维度的多功能观点,并且结合目标的心态使得许多不同的价值观得以发展,因此在私人土地上具有相当大的发展潜力;2)期望管理显示出许多可以带来多样性利益的想法;3)实际管理包括各种有利于生产的措施。但更多的是出于环境、社会、文化和情感的目的,这些目的在很大程度上没有被注意到,它们带来了环境保护的好处。所有森林所有者都认为管理和所有权存在障碍,主要分类为结构性或周围社会因素。财政奖励、鼓励森林所有者主动行动的政策、充足的资源供应和健全的管理咨询是减少障碍和促进环境价值发展的建议措施。
