forest management,   etc   ; biodiversity; natural resources conservation; politics;     Show all 4 Subjects
Abstract:
... In this paper the politics of biodiversity is analysed. Biodiversity is identified as being an ideological key symbol within the expressive space of politics. Whereas individuals express themselves, their core beliefs, their ideologies, etc. for their own sake, political parties and nature conservation organisations use biodiversity to garner seats in parliament, private donations and membership f ...

Abstract:
... Landscape values mapping (LVM) is a participatory process used to gather public input for park and forest management. Respondents assign landscape values or ecosystem benefits to places on a map using a typology that usually includes the value “recreation.” Whereas other landscape values in the typology reflect personal guiding principles and enduring beliefs, recreation represents a diverse set o ...

Abstract:
... One of the classic operations problems in forest management is to select the harvesting system and to plan the layout, which has a significant impact on overall operational and environmental efficiency. This paper addresses the design of a harvesting system in areas characterized by steep slopes requiring cable-based harvesting under central European conditions. We present two computationally effi ...

Abstract:
... In the economic analysis of CBFM, people's discount rates are assumed exogenous and same for all goods. We examined the validity of this assumption by eliciting the discount rates of households for grass, timber, fuelwood and money, and analyzed the impacts of various personal and economic factors on households' discount rates. We found that time preferences are endogenous and good-specific. A goo ...

Abstract:
... The logging industry in Alberta, Canada is subject to some of the most stringent forest management regulations in North America. Though studies have criticized that forest management regulations in Alberta discourage innovation and hinder competi-tiveness, there is no empirical evidence on how the rate of technical change and productivity growth have evolved over time. A more detailed investigatio ...

Abstract:
... Despite numerous policy efforts the number of inactive small private forest owners is growing. In this persistent problem the existing research in private forest owners provides little support. We suggest a now approach in “IT-based activating of forest owners” which applies bi-production of forest policy research and IT-practices. The weaknesses of the existing research about European forest owne ...

Abstract:
... Granting indigenous people legal land titles has emerged as an intervention to implement decentralized governance. Tenure reforms, however, may not avoid land expropriation and degradation without supporting institutions that enforce exclusion rights. Focusing on land expropriation in the Andean-Amazonian region, this review looks at enabling conditions and challenges for aligning tenure reforms w ...

Abstract:
... Tree mortality plays a key role in forest development and function, reducing net annual increments (NAI) even in the absence of major disturbances, although its extent in semi-natural forests is often overlooked. While losses are most commonly quantified as a fraction of stand density, in many cases this could prove misleading due to the non-random nature of competition and mortality, and a quanti ...
