“…Network ties, particularly related to information acquisition, often entail some aspect of trust (Barrera, 2007;Hujala et al, 2007). Members perceived the KWC staff and their fellow members as most trustworthy in terms of the information they might provide (Table 5).…”

Since then the applications have been on rise, not least in Scandinavia (Hujala et al 2007;Hujala & Tikkanen 2008;Hokajärvi et al 2009;Hujala et al 2009;Urquhart et al 2010;Bengston et al 2011;Lähdesmäki & Matilainen 2014). These studies applied qualitative methods to depict PFO goals, motivations, problems, and practices of forest management.…”

A c c e p t e d M a n u s c r i p t 2 AcknowledgementsThis study was performed within the frames of the research program INTEGRAL -futureoriented integrated forest management of European forests, funded by the European Commission's 7 th framework programme, grant agreement n° FP7-282887. AbstractIn contrast to quantitative surveys up to date, this study employs in-depth interviews and qualitative analyses aiming to provide detailed contextualized portrayals of private forest owners (PFO) in Lithuania, where forest ownership underwent crucial changes in the last two decades. We scrutinized narrations of 18 owners, focusing on the background and goals of forest possession, actually applied management practices and informants' future plans. Content analysis of the narrations revealed three classes of goals: ideational rationale, i.e. immaterial justification for owning and managing forest; financial goals referring to monetary benefits from selling forest products; and own material use for household needs. Reported practices differ widely among PFO, ranging from largely absent management to intensive silvicultural regimes. Syntheses of each informant's goals and practices enabled discerning four PFO types. Forest Businessmen typically own largest estates (>100 ha) and regard forest as an investment to get long-term financial benefits; they resort to forest management for timber and often intend to enlarge their possessions. Household Foresters primarily use timber for own needs, regularly applying selective tree cutting; such forestry results in frequent but small-scale management interventions. Passive Forest Lovers aspire to recreational or environmental values, being largely uninterested in timber harvesting. Ad Hoc Owners usually are small-scale, have vague goals and rarely engage in forest management. The study concludes with discussing policy implications of the identified diversity of PFO.

“…Metsaomaniku vajadustega arvestamine näidisala kujundamisel on oluline ka praktilise metsakorralduse aspektist lähtudes (nt metsaomaniku eesmärkidele vastavate metsamajandamiskavade koostamine). Viimane on teoreetiliselt käsitluselt paljuski neoklassikalise majandusteooria keskne, mis üldjoontes eeldab, et metsaomanik soovib maksimeerida metsamajandamise kasumlikkust (Hujala et al, 2007). Näidisalal tehtava õppetöö paremaks korraldamiseks tuleb koostöös ülikooli-de õppejõududega leida uusi õpperada-de punkte ja näidisobjekte.…”

Korjus, H., Põllumäe, P., Kangur, A. 2015. Why do we need a research and demonstration area of forest management planning at Järvselja?-Forestry Studies | Metsanduslikud Uurimused 63, 151-159. ISSN 1406-9954. Journal homepage: http://mi.emu. ee/forestry.studies Abstract. Changes in the society have created a need for a systematic approach in forestry combining forest management, timber harvest analysis, research and demonstration of new technologies. A research and demonstration area is an option for explaining and visualising frameworks of forest design, modelling and planning in the real nature. A research and demonstration area of forest management planning can be defi ned as a forested landscape that combines various forest uses and aims to ensure and explain forest management strategies as well as conservation of ecosystems and natural resources. A suitable area for creating the research and demonstration area of forest management planning is at Järvselja Training and Experimental Forest Centre in Estonia. It has naturally diverse forests and these include also habitats of several rare and endangered species and already comprise different sets of nature conservation areas. The centre has been used for forestry higher education and research for over 90 years and therefore all essential infrastructure has been developed including dormitories and lecture rooms for fi eld training as well as different nature paths, old fi eld experiments (e.g. initial spacing and thinning experiments) and new modern research facilities. Forest management plans and inventory data since 1922 still exist for the area. The area at Järvselja is expected to demonstrate present studies and research work in the most comprehensive way as well as the implications to forest management and the newest technologies in forest management and planning. Different systems and techniques of forest management can be studied and demonstrated to the wider public by establishing the research and demonstration area of forest management planning at Järvselja.
