“…The findings of this qualitative research presents the institutional perspectives of organizations involved in private land conservation and thus it differentiates itself from similar studies on private land conservation that focuses on landowners' perspectives and motivations or on specific private land conservation tool such as easements (Daley et al 2004;Ernst and Wallace 2008;Farmer et al 2011;Joshi and Arano 2009;Raymond and Brown 2011). The institutional perspectives from the two countries highlighted the differing views that exists on what private land conservation entails and its trajectory into the future in the two countries.…”

Private land is gradually emerging as a global biodiversity conservation strategy for its potential to complement the existing protected area model in its attempt to halt the global biodiversity loss. However, involving private lands in conserving a public good face continuous challenges. While examining landowners' motivations for conserving their land is imperative to its success, it is equally important to assess how other stakeholder groups perceive private land conservation. In order to capture the diversity and contrasts in implementing private land conservation, this research focuses on investigating the managerial perspectives on the status of private land conservation in two countries: USA and Poland. The paper presents the results of twenty five in-depth interviews that were conducted in the two countries. The US context, with a longer history and experience, captured complex interactions and factors that influence private land conservation, including role of conservation policies, civic sector organizations, stakeholder collaboration, technical and financial support, and nonmonetary motivations of landowners. The Polish context however, was limited to the regulatory model and as such did not differentiate private land conservation from traditional protected areas. Additionally, the lack of voluntary initiatives along with adequate policies and lack of awareness on private land conservation at a national and local level contributed to limited scope and understanding on the subject. The two case studies highlight the context dependency of such a strategy and bring to focus some of the factors that should be addressed while adopting conservation on private land as a biodiversity conservation strategy.

“…Not surprisingly, asset or financial position (or a proxy for asset position, like size of forest holding) often was found to be an important determinant of landowner behavior [13,42]. Plus, a number of studies showed that many NIPF owners did not primarily focus on timber production, but had major ownership objectives related to non-timber outputs like wildlife and recreation [51,92,104,105,112,134,[145][146][147][148][149][150][151][152][153][154][155][156][157][158][159]. Even forest landowners' stated intentions were found to differ from later forest management practices on the ground [152][153][154][155].…”

Abstract:One of the fundamental issues in American forest policy has been the small forest ownership problem. Early in the twentieth century, it was called the farm forestry problem, later, the nonindustrial private forest problem, and today, the family forest problem. Family forest owners are thought to manage their lands in a suboptimal manner resulting in low forest productivity relative to other ownership groups. This can lead to future timber supply problems. The exact nature of the problem, especially its social and economic basis, was a common subject of early forestry research studies. This article includes many of the major nonindustrial private forest or family forest studies, from early to current, and classifies them both by themes used by other authors and categories that relate to major research areas in the current literature. A major focus of this literature deals with promoting management on family forest holdings and possible land management incentives and disincentives. Natural trends in family forest ownership, like parcelization, also impact upon forest management opportunities. By developing a taxonomy that classifies these studies by research objective, methodology, owner motivation, and problem definition, this article serves to organize the family forest literature in a manner that provides a temporal framework for better understanding the historical motivation for and development of family forest research in the United States.

“…Secara genetik perilaku petani yang baik diduga disebabkan oleh umur petani, sedangkan faktor lingkungan diduga disebabkan oleh peran sumberdaya dan orientasi ekonomi. Joshi & Arano (2009) Keberhasilan pembangunan dan pengembangan hutan rakyat tergantung pada interaksi petani dan teknik silvikultur yang dilakukan oleh petani. Jika intensitas interaksi petani terhadap hutan rakyat tinggi, maka produktifitas lahan meningkat dan produksi kayu terpenuhi secara berkelanjutan sehingga kesejahteraan petani meningkat.…”

Most of the establishment of community forests fail due to lack of understanding about the characteristics of farmers. Effort to conserve cempaka (Michelia champaca L.) could be done through development of cempaka private forest. This research aimed to study correlation between internal characteristics of farmers (knowledge, attitude and behavior) with growth performance of cempaka on a private forest demonstration plot. Cempaka private forest was established in two phases (2012 and 2013), involved 36 farmers. Data was collected by structured interview with farmers and measurement of cempaka growth. Data were analyzed using Pearson Correlation Test. The result showed that there was a significant correlation between internal characteristics of farmers with growth performance of cempaka. Positive correlation was shown between attitude and behavior with the successfull of cempaka growth. The strongest correlation was shown by behavioral characteristic, as high growth performance of cempaka was strongly influenced by farmer's activity in plant maintenance. Distinctive farmer characteristics require different approaches farmers empowerment. Training in cultivation technique and economical aspect of cempaka should be provided to farmer with characeristics: good knowledge, good attitude, fair behavior. In contrary, land optimalization and strengthening farmers' institution to anticipate larger timber market should be conducted to farmer with characteristics: poor knowledge, good attitude, good behavior. This results could be applied for farmer empowerment at Ginanjar Village in the future.Keywords: Correlation, farmer characteristics, growth, Michelia champaca, private forest ABSTRAK Pembangunan hutan rakyat sering mengalami kegagalan akibat kurangnya pemahaman tentang karakteritik kehidupan petani. Salah satu upaya melestarikan cempaka (Michelia champaca L.) dapat dilakukan dengan pola hutan rakyat. Tujuan penelitian adalah untuk mempelajari hubungan antara karakteristik internal petani (pengetahuan, sikap dan perilaku) dengan keberhasilan tumbuh cempaka. Pembangunan hutan rakyat cempaka dilakukan dua fase yaitu 2012 dan 2013, dengan melibatkan total 36 petani. Penelitian dilakukan melalui wawancara terstruktur responden (petani) dan pengukuran pertumbuhan tanaman cempaka. Analisis dilakukan dengan uji korelasi Pearson. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan terdapat hubungan yang nyata antara karakteristik internal petani (pengetahuan, sikap dan perilaku) dengan keberhasilan tumbuh cempaka. Hubungan positif ditunjukkan oleh sikap dan perilaku, dimana semakin baik sikap dan perilaku, maka semakin tinggi keberhasilan tumbuh cempaka. Hubungan yang paling kuat ditunjukkan oleh karakteristik perilaku, dimana keberhasilan pertumbuhan cempaka sangat dipengaruhi oleh aktifitas petani dalam pemeliharaan tanaman. Perbedaan hubungan karakteristik petani terhadap keberhasilan tumbuh cempaka membutuhkan pembinaan yang berbeda untuk meningkatkan keberhasilan penanaman. Pembinaan petani dengan karakteristik pengetahuan baik, sikap ba...
