“…• applicazioni di analisi statistica multivariata (analisi fattoriale, cluster analysis, analisi delle componenti principali e altre) impiegate principalmente per ottenere le tipologie di classificazione dei proprietari forestali (Greene & Blatner 1986, Kuuluvainen et al 1996, Karppinen 1998a, Erickson et al 2002, Boon et al 2010 degli stessi, impiegati allo scopo di identificare i fattori determinanti dei comportamenti e delle attitudini gestionali ed ambientali dei proprietari (Jamnick & Beckett 1987, Romm et al 1987, Løy-land et al 1995, Lidestav & Ekström 2000, Størdal et al 2008, Joshi & Arano 2009, Boon et al 2010, Markowski-Lindsay et al 2011, Ficko & Boncina 2013); • modelli di scelta discreta, utilizzati per individuare la disponibilità ad accettare compensazioni monetarie volte a determinare un cambiamento positivo nel comportamento dei NIPFs nei confronti delle tematiche ambientali (Kline et al 2000, Horne 2006, Vedel et al 2013). …”

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.

“…Theoretical and empirical studies indicate a greater potential for participation when payments are higher (e.g. Dickinson et al, 2011;Lynch et al, 2002;Markowski-Lindsay et al, 2011;Putten et al, 2011). However, there may be landowners already interested in conservation who are willing to participate and for whom the flexibility of the scheme might be more important (e.g.…”

“…Horne, 2004;Putten et al, 2011;Scullion et al, 2011;Stevens et al, 2002). In general, landowners prefer simpler projects without additionality requirements (Markowski-Lindsay et al, 2011), with lower compliance costs (Putten et al, 2011), not requiring specific management programs and not including penalties for non-compliance or early withdrawal (Dickinson et al, 2011, Markowski-Lindsay et al, 2011. Schemes offering upfront payments might be preferred (Putten et al, 2011) as they maximize net present value (Balderas Torres et al, 2010a).…”
