“…The PCA results revealed that the forest bathing in the urban park tended to be associated with more decline of anxieties from social contact especially the love-affair relationship. Similarly, former studies found that forests near the city center tended to be perceived with greater 'non-material values' (Casado-Arzuaga et al, 2013;Dou et al, 2017), such as aesthetic and recreational services (Carvalho-Ribeiro and Lovett, 2011;Erol, 2012). Our results revealed that in response to the forest bathing in the urban park participants tended to perceive more desire to communicate with others including those in the opposite gender.…”

“…In contrast, the forest bathing in the rural park was associated with the anxiety alleviation mostly from school works and partly from the social contact. This was in contrast with former studies where rural forests were mainly perceived in material ecosystem services for timber harvest and non-woody production (Carvalho-Ribeiro and Lovett, 2011;Erol, 2012;Casado-Arzuaga et al, 2013). It might be because participants were laypeople from forest production, but they can perceive that school work is important to their further value when they were receiving forest bathing in the rural forest.…”

Effect of Short-term Forest Bathing in Urban Parks on Perceived Anxiety of Young-adults: A Pilot Study in Guiyang, Southwest China

Forest can be taken as a natural therapy to alleviate perceived anxiety of visitors. Given the geographical difference between urban and rural forest environments, little is known about the urban forest therapy effect of anxiety alleviation with reference to the rural forest. In this study, forty-three university students (aged from 19 to 23) were recruited as participants to visit the forest parks at urban and rural areas of Guiyang City on 21 and 23 December 2016. The forest experience was separated by four sceneries. Participants were asked to complete questionnaires by self-evaluating specific anxiety change from 12 questions with scores from 1 to 10 at both entrance and exit of the parks. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test and paired t-test were used to compare the change of anti-anxiety scores during forest bathing and between urban and rural forests, respectively. Results revealed that forest bathing in the urban park can alleviate the anxiety from financial state (P = 0.0028), exam-pass pressure (P = 0.0040) and love-affair relationship (P = 0.0286). Although rural forest bathing can also alleviate the anxiety from financial state (P = 0.0222), meanwhile, it maintained the anxiety about campus life (P < 0.0001). Forest tree richness tended to be higher in the rural forest park than in the urban one, which in contrast decreased the anxiety alleviation from inter-communication in the rural forest park (P = 0.0487). Principle component analysis indicated that participants tended to perceive more decline of anxiety from social contact in the urban forest. In conclusion, university students were recommended to pay a short visit to the urban forest with partners if they felt anxious about personal affairs and felt necessary to talk with others. For general people's visiting, urban forest trees can be controlled in diversity to some extent to look orderly and alleviate perceived anxiety.

“…Günşen and Atmiş (2020) have determined that an increased liberalisation of national policies has led to a decline in interest in the protection and development of forest villagers. Several studies have illustrated that forest villagers perceive forests as a source of life, prioritise the ecological functions of forests, and believe that they are the main factor in the protection of forests (Sağlam and Öztürk 2008, Yurdakul Erol 2012, Yılmaz 2018, Durkaya et al 2017).…”

Identifying and prioritising traditional knowledge-related strategies within Turkish forest policy: the perspective of forest managers

2023

Forests are an essential part of the lifestyle and income of forest villagers in Türkiye. This interaction between forests and rural society offers considerable potential for the generation of traditional knowledge (TK). However, most of this knowledge is in danger of extinction. This study pursued qualitative and quantitative research methods: a SWOT analysis was created by utilising the related components of current national forest policy documents and sought to create basic strategies which were then prioritised using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) rating approach. The findings showed that TK is tied directly to the main objectives of forestry policy. Social strategies were viewed as the highest priority, emphasising the improvement of local living standards and increasing local awareness and loyalty to their regions. These strategies were followed by organisational and legislation-policy-related issues. However, the close scores of the strategies proved that all are interdependent and have relations with each other, and a holistic approach is required.

“…Although some substitute materials, such as metallics and synthetics, are widely used today, this does not mitigate the need for wood products. To the contrary, consumption of wood products is rapidly increasing with increasing worldwide economic development and population growth (Birler 1998, Ekizoğlu 2008, Toppinen and Kuuluvainan 2010, Yıldırım 2010, Erol 2012. The board sector of the forest industry is of great importance for Turkey.…”

World production of wood based panel has grown from 63,1 million cubic meters in 2005 to 75,5 million m 3 in 2009, a 12 million m 3 rise in production. China is the world's largest wood based panel's manufacturer. The Turkish wood based panels industry has shown a tendency of fluctuating during this time. Turkey, as the world's 4 th largest producer of wood based panels, is an important contributor to the industry. Turkey has made great strides in the last 20 years in the forest products industry. Both the development of new materials and techniques of domestic and international market demand have played a decisive role. Turkey's wood panel production has gone from 100000 m 3 in the early 2000s, to 5,5 million m³ of production in 2010. The sector's total production capacity is approximately 9 million m³. The results obtained thus far indicate that the Turkish wood based panel industry demand for raw material is not being met by the GDF's chip wood fiber production. Where the raw material supply problem in the industry, as well as the problems encountered in the forest and on the basis of the villagers living adjacent to, not to the time of product problems related to storage and transportation of raw materials and other related problems are bottlenecks. We examine problems related to the provision of raw materials and raw materials research, the need for future estimates of the level at which the world and close to the periphery countries will be examined, wood composite panel production and trade policy recommendations will be developed.
