Analytical approach for analyzing and providing solutions for the conflicts among forest stakeholders across Turkey

Different approaches to the social vision of communal land management: the case of Galicia (Spain)

“…Such a classification can be performed at large scales and at very low costs, which is not possible using other sources such as surveys to owners (Barli et al, 2006;Marey-Pérez and Rodríguez-Vicente, 2008). Moreover, it provides a new perspective on common management, since conflict is perceived from an external point of view that targets the whole society of the region (Meitner et al, 2005).…”

“…The goals of the methodology are: 1) to explain whether conflicts are randomly distributed or grouped into different classes, and 2) to determine the sources of conflicts and whether there is a distinct pattern for the presence of conflicts in each area that can be totally or partially explained based on other social, economic or environmental variables. The development of the methodology was divided into the following stages: 1) Correlation analysis was used to find the degree of suitability of the variables for the analysis proposed (Barli et al, 2006), Spearman's rho was used to estimate the statistical association between variables at 0.05 and 0.01 significance levels. 2) Classification of a set of elements.…”

“…Accordingly, many authors have analyzed conflicts in forest areas. Ellefson (1992) analyzed the resolution of conflicts over forests, focusing on policies and participants; Sidaway (1997) studied different approaches to conflict management and resolution; Bostedt and Mattsson (1996) analyzed the regulations and legal instruments developed by institutions and governments for the resolution of environmental conflicts; Walker and Daniels (1997) portrayed conflict management as a triangle of three interrelated dimensions: substance, procedure and relationship; Skutsh (2000) analyzed the types of conflicts and related them to the forms of resolution; Hëllstrom (2001) proposed a set of indicators for the analysis of conflicts over forests categorized according to theme, intensity, actors, dimensions of the conflict, communication, relationship with other actors, policy and economic aspects; Pinto Correia et al (2006) presented a holistic approach for the resolution of environmental conflicts; Barli et al (2006) made a descriptive statistical analysis of a number of indicators related to conflicts over forests ;De Jong et al (2006) performed a qualitative analysis of conflicts in three forest areas, and Brehm (2007) applied grounded theory to the analysis of environmental conflicts. Ibarra and Hirakuri (2007) performed a qualitative analysis based on interviews with experts, and Hovardas and Korfiatis (2008) analyzed changes in the environmental policy of an area using local and regional newspaper reports and their impact on forest management patterns.…”

“…The arrival of a competitive economy to international markets brought about important changes in traditional land uses and management practices (Pardo and Gil, 2005), which had to conform to the new socio-economic situation (Hoogstra et al, 2004;Olsson et al, 2004;Ziegenspeck et al, 2004;Barli et al, 2006;De Jong et al, 2006;Salka et al, 2006;Sanginga et al, 2006;Schlüter, 2007;Bravo and De Moor, 2008;Short, 2008).…”

Managing Impressions and Forests: The Importance of Role Confusion in Co-Creation of a Natural Resource Conflict

“…an interference of goals or the likelihood of incompatible goals, as the result of another person's or group's actions, threat of action, or personal/group attributes.'' According to Church et al (2007), this and other similar definitions of conflict have led to an emphasis on examining competition between user groups (Jacob and Schreyer 1980;Barli et al 2006;Clark et al 2009;Hunt et al 2009;Mann and Philippe 2009). Conflict definitions based on competition can have practical consequences in that the focus in meetings and processes is often on interests and experts, while communication is reduced to a procedural role (Hamilton and Wills-Toker 2006).…”
