Abstract Forests are being increasingly studied within the framework of social sciences, especially in relation to environmental problems and global climate change. This article deals with the perception of Czech forests and their management at two basic levels: at the level of sociological analysis of in-depth interviews with experts in the field of forestry and at the level of public opinion research. The main aim of this study was to describe the attitudes of professionals and the general public towards forests and forestry, especially with regard to climate change. Qualitative analysis of interviews with professionals discerned two main categories of opinion: ecological realism and social constructionism. The results of the study show that the Czech public, in agreement with ecological realists, considers it highly important to preserve and support the non-productive environmental functions of forests. The public also prefers close-to-nature forest management practices. Czech Republic is witnessing a fundamental shift in the mindset about forests. Although the public still expects forests to retain their production function, it perceives their environmental functions as increasingly important.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Landscape Ecology is a fully reviewed scientific journal published by Czech National Chapter of the Association for Landscape Ecology (CZ-IALE). Our international editorial board has ambition to fill up a gap in the ecological field scope covered by the European scientific journals and mainly those among them which are produced in the Czech Republic. Subjects of papers are not limited teritorially, however, emphasis is given to the Middle-European landscape-ecological themes. The journal is not preferentially theoretical or applied, it is prepared to serve as a bridge between both levels of knowledge. The effort will be developed to increase gradually its quality level and to reach for acceptation by databases of scientific journals with IF. The first issue of JLE was published in 2008. Recently, three issues of JLE are published per year.
