“…They were reported from some states or regions of Europe, listed in Tables 1-4. However, because of the differences between countries in the intensity of publishing research works at international level [88], the identification of the actual range of described problems requires a review of the literature published in nationally ranked journals (in this article it was done for Poland). Perhaps using other databases of scientific publications (e.g., Web of Science, ScienceDirect) would also make it possible to supplement this and other information presented in the article, for example the analysis of forest management problems (Figure 2).…”

“…Not matching the favorite model-this model (Table 3) may slightly vary, depending on the region of Europe, local cultural norms, and methods of forest management, which influence biophysical factors [103]. The presented preferences are relatively narrow and in some cases contradict the principles of sustainable forest management [134], which are important in urban forestry [88]. It was mentioned that the form-and species-rich, many-layered woodland types are especially valuable types for urban contexts [84].…”

Management and Social Problems Linked to the Human Use of European Urban and Suburban Forests

This review regards the management and social problems in European urban and suburban forests linked to their maintenance and human use. They can be divided into major categories: forest management problems (e.g., the low priority of urban forestry, various or diffused urban forest management, lack of management plans or lack of sufficient funds); the social reception of forest works and forests (e.g., emotional reactions to total clear-cutting, negative evaluation of logging traces, negative evaluation of poor tourist infrastructure, specific expectations concerning a model forest: e.g., tall, of low density, mixed, old); and relations between forest users (problems related to e.g., crowding, fast-moving people, the presence of dogs, littering, thefts or noisy behaviour). Here, special attention is paid to problems and negative interactions, as they are challenges to forest management, as well as to the development of plans, strategies, and policies, both in relation to existent forests and those planned in various parts of Europe. Taking into account the feelings and expectations of forest users concerning forests, forest works/management, and infrastructure, as well as their attitude to other forest users, may reduce conflicts concerning various kinds of forest perception and use, and (with the support of societal education) may help to increase the sense of social responsibility for the “shared” forests. The presented findings are expected to be practical and useful for the management of urban and suburban forests, regardless of the location, as a type of checklist of possible problems, that may prove to be important and up-to-date in a particular location.

Pressures and Threats to Nature Related to Human Activities in European Urban and Suburban Forests

This review regards the pressures and threats linked with the human use of European urban and suburban forests. They can be divided into the following major categories: urban development, fragmentation, and isolation of forests; human pressures on soil and vegetation (e.g., changes in vegetation due to trampling, environmental and especially air pollution); human pressures on animals (e.g., wildlife losses due to collisions, frequent presence of dogs accompanying the visitors); and other threats and damages (e.g., littering and acts of vandalism). The directions of negative relations between people and forests shown in this review draw attention to the high complexity of the discussed issues. Awareness of this complexity (when planning and implementing forest management) can limit or counteract conflicts arising from the use of urban and suburban forests by people. This is of particular importance in the era of progressing urbanization and the evolution of human needs regarding the use of forests.
