“…For example, the same piece of testimonial evidence (e.g., a newspaper report providing evidence on a topic) can have opposite effects if people have opposing views on the reliability of the source (Cook and Lewandowsky 2016). Case studies concerned with process credibility typically conclude that participatory methods and co-production of knowledge increases credibility in climate adaptation communication in agriculture (Bellochi et al 2015;Masere and Worth 2016;Sautier et al 2017), forest management (Blades et al 2016), and water shed management (Kirchhoff et al 2015).…”

“…Studies concerned with process credibility typically conclude that participatory methods and co-production of knowledge increases credibility in climate adaptation communication in various sectors such as agriculture (Bellochi et al 2015;Masere and Worth 2016;Sautier et al 2017, forest management (Blades et al 2016), water shed management (Kirchhoff et al 2015), and in assessments, more generally, of natural and social systems at risk from climate change (Jacobs and Buizer 2016).…”

“…Ezek mellett más hangsúlyokkal egyre több írást lelni fel az utóbbi években, így Johnston & Hesseln (2012) & Gameren és Zaccai (2015) az adaptációs kapacitásra, képességre fó-kuszál kanadai, illetve belga interjúvizsgálataival, ugyanezzel a módszerrel Blades et al (2016) a klímatudomány elfogadottságát tesztelte Sziklás-hegység-beli erdészekkel, Andersson et al (2017) pedig svédországi-skóciai összehasonlításával arra mutatott rá, hogy az adaptáció, az adaptációs kapacitás befolyásolásban az intézményi környezet, ágazati hagyományok legalább annyira fontos tényezők, mint a személyes tulajdonságok, s az ér-zékelés. Mostegl et al (2017) ezer fős mintán vizsgálta Ausztriában az éghajlatváltozás szerepét az erdészeti döntéshozásban.…”

KivonatTanulmányunkban országos kérdőíves mintán és interjúk segítségével vizsgáltuk az erdőgazdálkodók éghajlatváltozás-érzékelését és adaptációs tevékenységét. Eredményeink szerint leginkább a hótakarós napok számának csökkenését ér-zékelik a válaszadók, ám különbségek mutatkoztak az éghajlatváltozás érzékelésében a válaszadók földrajzi elhelyezkedése, és a kezelt erdőterületek jellege alapján. Szakirodalmi összevetésben elmondható, hogy a magyar erdésztársadalom a felkészülés szakaszában van, megvalósított adaptációról csak a válaszadók 16%-a számolt be, ugyanakkor többen jelezték, hogy ebben a jogszabályi előírások képeznek akadályt. A már alkalmazkodókról elmondható, hogy közöttük átlag-ban nagyobb fokú az aggódás, régebb óta érzékelik és jelentősebbnek tekintik a problémát, saját gazdálkodásuk eredmé-nyességét tekintve is. Megállapítottuk, hogy az állami erdőgazdaságok nem alkalmazkodnak jobban, s a magas fokú aggódásról sem mondható el, hogy blokkolná az éghajlatváltozáshoz történő alkalmazkodást, a természetvédelmi tényező pedig a kérdőíves adatok szerint ugyan nem hátráltatja az adaptációt, több interjúalany viszont erről számolt be.Kulcsszavak: éghajlatváltozás, erdészetek, érzékelés, adaptáció, Magyarország. CLIMATE CHANGE ATTITUDES AND ADAPTATION OF HUNGARIAN FOREST MANAGERS AbstractThis study utilizes a national questionnaire sample and interviews to examine attitudes to climate change as well as perceptions and adaptation activities among Hungarian forestry managers. The results show the respondents addressing climatic changes are concerned mostly by the decrease in the number of snow-covered days, but differences of opinion can be attributed to geographical location and the forest areas managed. Hungarian forest management is still in the preparation phase with only 16% of respondents reporting the implementation of climate change adaptation measures; however, many foresters claim this is often hindered by legislative constraints. Those who have implemented adaptation measures show an increased concern toward climate change on average; they have been aware of climate change for a longer time and regard it as a serious problem affecting their management activities. The study has evidence that state forest managers do not adapt better than private foresters do, high level of concern and nature conservation factors do not hinder adaptation. However, during the interviews respondents reported that nature conservation factors do, in fact, hinder adaptation processes.

“…They noted that an important barrier to combining knowledge systems is that people with one frame of reference may not perceive or value the knowledge generated by other people's systems. These barriers can contribute to lack of understanding, inability to properly communicate concepts, unwillingness to adopt little known approaches, or distrust among individuals (Blades et al 2016). Still, there is growing recognition that the complex and multiscale nature of environmental problems demands participatory and transparent decision making that is flexible to changing conditions (Hubacek and Reed 2009).…”

“…In similar projects, participants in one day workshops generally responded well to the information exchange process among scientists, managers, and stakeholders. However, these short vignettes about such massive topics (wildfire effects or climate change) were insufficient for fostering in-depth http://www.ecologyandsociety.org/vol22/iss1/art26/ understanding or an enduring relationship that would result in management actions (e.g., Wright 2010, Blades et al 2016). More optimistically, both Sturtevant et al (2007) and Millington et al (2011) indicate that an approach that establishes a long-term connection and commitment among partners is a likely requirement for substantive information transfer and sufficient collaborative action.…”

ABSTRACT. Scientists are increasingly called upon to integrate across ecological and social disciplines to tackle complex coupled human and natural system (CHANS) problems. Integration of these disciplines is challenging and many scientists do not have experience with large integrated research projects. However, much can be learned about the complicated process of integration from such efforts. We document some of these lessons from a National Science Foundation-funded CHANS project (Forests, People, Fire) and present considerations for developing and engaging in coupled human and natural system projects. Certainly we are not the first to undertake this endeavor, and many of our findings complement those of other research teams. We focus here on the process of coming together, learning to work as an integrated science team, and describe the challenges and opportunities of engaging stakeholders (agency personnel and citizen communities of interests) in our efforts. Throughout this project our intention was to foster dialogue among diverse interests and, thus, incorporate this knowledge into uncovering primary social and ecological drivers of change. A primary tool was an agentbased model, Envision, that used this information in landscape simulation, visualization models, and scenario development. Although integration can be an end in itself, the proof of value in the approach can be the degree to which it provides new insights or tools to CHANS, including closer interaction among multiple stakeholders, that could not have been reached without it.
