“…The literature review focussed on understanding the harvesting behaviour of forest owners (Beach et al, 2005;Bolkesjo et al, 2007;Butler, 2006;Favada et al, 2009;Stordal et al, 2008;Vokoun et al, 2006;Adams et al, 1991;Araño and Munn, 2006), as well as on wood supply in more general terms (Sterba et al, 2000;Verkerk et al, 2011). Based on our review and data availability for the entire study área, 16 potential location factors influencing the likelihood of harvest were identified, as well as a priori assumptions with regards to the direction of influence of each location factor on harvesting likelihood (Table 1).…”

“…In Norvegia, è emerso che la gestione forestale è meno attiva se i proprietari hanno un'attività lavorativa extra-aziendale, risiedono lontano dalla proprietà e sono anziani (Løyland et al 1995). Ancora in Norvegia si è visto che la presenza di un piano di assestamento, la superficie totale e la frazione di superficie a bosco della proprietà, la presenza di fonti di reddito extra-aziendale, la giovane età del proprietario e la presenza di altre attività produttive condotte nella proprietà sono collegati positivamente con la predisposizione al taglio e con l'intensità di quest'ultimo (Størdal et al 2008). In Svezia sussistono differenze significative tra i proprietari che risiedono nella proprietà e quelli residenti altrove per gli aspetti produttivi ed economici, mentre non vi sono differenze statisticamente significative per gli aspetti collegati alla ricreazione e alla conservazione (Nordlund & Westin 2011).…”

IntroduzioneC'è un gap informativo nei riguardi della proprietà forestale privata nella letteratura italiana del settore, che è invece ricca di analisi sulle caratteristiche e sulle forme di gestione della proprietà pubblica. La rinuncia ad includere, nell'universo di indagine dell'ultimo Censimento dell'Agricoltura (ISTAT 2010), le aziende esclusivamente forestali, ci ha infatti lasciati con dati obsoleti circa la numerosità dei conduttori, la forma e struttura della proprietà e la There is an information gap in the Italian literature with regards to private forest ownership, while several analysis are available on the characteristics and the management systems of public forest ownership. To address this gap, this paper presents the characteristics of private forest owners and their evolution in time by reviewing the international literature in the last three decades. The examined studies are reported according to four perspectives: (i) the available classifications and/or typologies of private forest owners; (ii) the determinants of different forest owners' behaviors, especially in relation to their objectives; (iii) the attitudes of forest owners and the motivations behind their management decisions; (iv) the valuation of the willingness to accept monetary compensations in return for the provision of ecosystem services. The results show a very complex picture, varying both in space and time. However, some recurring features can be identified: (i) not only are forest owners motivated by timber production goals, but also by other reasons, often very diversified and detached from market considerations; (ii) a "multi-functional" forest owner is by no means less active, but, conversely, is more active than a forest owner whose sole objective is timber production; (iii) in general, the active owner is a farmer whose family has owned the forest for many generations (and in this case he/she is more market-oriented), or is a new entry in the forestry sector; (iv) the "passive" owner is usually elderly, non-farmer and resides far from the property. In addition, the "absent" owner is a common problem to several of the examined geographical contexts. Although the results of the review cannot be transferred as such, they represent a useful starting point for similar analyses in the Italian context. Examining the determinants and attitudes of private forest owners in Italy would indeed prove interesting, given that private forest ownership in Italy represents a relevant share of total forest area and that the implementation of new policy tools such as payments for ecosystem services requires active participation by all key actors, including forest owners.Keywords: Private Forest Ownership, Forest Owners, Attitudes, Forest Owners', Typologies, Ecosystem ServicesReceived: Jun 25, 2015; Accepted: Mar 11, 2016; Published online: Apr 04, 2016 Citation: Mozzato D, Gatto P, 2016.

“…It has also been identified as a key attribute in landowner forest management decisions [3,[8][9][10]. Since thoughtful planning is an important prerequisite to achieve optimum benefits, private forest landowners who often do not follow management plan recommendations are likely to underachieve such benefits [5].…”

Despite the likely benefits of having a written forest management plan, a small number of landowners in the United States have the one. A recursive bivariate probit model was used to identify the possible relationship between landowners' decision to obtain a management plan and their interest in future timber harvesting. Our study results based on recursive bivariate model suggest that landowners having larger land ownerships, longer forest ownership tenure, and higher education were more likely to have a forest management plan and future timber harvesting interest. While the landowners having interest for wildlife management were also interested to have a written management plan, they did not prefer to harvest in future. Study results indicate that written management plan means more than a timber harvesting strategy to landowners in general. Many elderly landowners with a low level of income and less formal education and those having small or medium sized tracts of forestland are less likely to own a written management plan. Therefore, this group requires special attention in various government sponsored forest management related extension activities. Future research on understanding landowner perception behind written management plan is recommended.
