“…The analysis focused on both a financial side (evaluation of allocated and really drawn means) and factual side (evaluation of measurement and use of individual measures). Details are described in Jarský et al (2014) and Jarský (2007) for the programming period 2000-2006 and in Sarvašová et al (2010) and Špičková and Jarský (2013) for the period 2007-2013.…”

“…The influence of agricultural subsidies on farm performance in practice has been widely analysed, mainly in terms of crop production (Quiroga et al, 2017;Kumbhakar and Lien, 2010). However, there is little research on the efficiency of the complex support from the rural development programmes to forestry (e.g., Jarský et al, 2014, Uthes et al, 2017. Some others have focused on specific programmes related to agroforestry (Brescancin et al, 2017, Desjeux et al, 2014, Sarvašová et al 2017 or to specific measures that address agriculture and forestry jointly (Caruso et al, 2015, Sin andNowak, 2014).…”

This study analyses the linkages between private forest owners' perceptions of forest management, and their affinity for subsidies, in a range of European countries. Society increasingly requires the provision of ecosystem services from forests, but the willingness of forest owners to redirect management goals from wood production to the provision of public goods is crucial for sustaining ecosystem services. EU incentives in the forestry sector are still mainly oriented towards an anthropocentric vision of forest management. Forest owners and managers are diverse, and although many efforts have been made to understand the role of forest subsidies in private forest management, it is still necessary to analyse the different perspectives on forest subsidies with a regional comparative approach. This paper explores European private forest owners' affinity for subsidiesthrough survey data at European leveland estimates an ordered probit model to (i) analyse how private forest owners in Europe respond to subsidies in forestry, including regional differences in terms of affinity for subsidies, (ii) characterise the factors that influence these responses and (iii) discuss lessons learned related to forest owners' attitudes on subsidies and the implications for introducing similar kind of incentives such as payments for ecosystem services. Simulations were conducted to examine the potential effects of changes in property fragmentation or the time allotted to forest activities. Forest owners with an utilitarian view of forest management, bigger forest holdings, full or part-time farmers and forest owners from East Europe are most in favour of forest subsidies. Property fragmentation and absenteeism decreases affinity for subsidies.

“…Hynynen et al (2014) conducted the SWOT analysis to analyse Finnish forestry sector's operational environment and to define scenarios for the assessment of long-term impacts of alternative forest management strategies on potential resource use (Hynynen et al, 2015). Also, the SWOT analysis was used in the cases of forest management in the Czech Republic and Slovakia (Jarský et al, 2014), Algeria (Meddour-Sahar, 2015), Kyrgyzstan (Jalilova et al, 2012), Bulgaria (Winkel & Sotirov, 2011), Italia (Carbone & Savelli, 2009) and Austria (Rauch, 2007). Very rarely, the objects of the SWOT analysis were management issues regarding forest roads.…”

“…Very rarely, the objects of the SWOT analysis were management issues regarding forest roads. In those cases, forest roads were analysed mainly from the wider perspective, as part of forest infrastructure (Meddour-Sahar, 2015), or from the investment perspective (Jarský et al, 2014), but not as a final aim of the SWOT analysis.…”

Forest resource exploitation and the achievement of full forest potential depend on the density and quality of the forest road network. The forest road network has to fulfill multiple functions; it thus has strategic importance in forest management. When planning the forest road network development, decision makers have to consider various technological, economic, social, and environmental factors. A comprehensive and functional approach is needed. A hybrid methodological framework for the formulation of guidelines, within which the strategy for the development of the state-owned forest road network should be defined, is presented in this paper. A fuzzy modification of the A'WOT method is proposed. The model, named FDA'WOT model, is based on an idea to provide a conceptual framework for strategic option selection by combining the fuzzy Delphi technique, the fuzzy SWOT analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) and the Analytical Hierarchical Process (AHP). The FDA'WOT model overcomes the problems of a classical SWOT analysis related to the vagueness and uncertainties in assessment of the character, impact and relative importance of strategic factors. It is a frame for a multicriteria approach in decision making which allows analytical prioritization of alternative strategic options and selection of an optimal one. The proposed model is applied to a case study of the strategy selection for the forest road network development in the Republic of Serbia. The presented results have shown that the FDA'WOT model can successfully create conditions for sustainable strategy formulation.
