“…Potential shifts in the identity, relationship, attributes or use preferences the forest owner displays in relation to their property, or more broadly in relation to a conception of nature or place, are thereby not easily conceived in unitary categories, but are rather part of complexes encompassing not only location but also valuation related to numerous factors-many subjective-related to place. These types of conceptions of multiple attachments are noted in studies ranging from psychology (Elster 1987) to geography (Tuan 1977;Massey 1994). Acknowledging that urban or new forest owners still keep some bonds and may behave partly like traditional/rural forest owners is thus well in line with understandings that highlight the constructed nature of attachment-that any person's bond to area cannot be understood merely through simplified parameters such as geographical distance or, for instance, "forest owner type" (e.g.…”

Over the centuries, Swedish rural areas have been formed in close interaction with their inhabitants and different and various uses. Based on studies, particularly of "new forest owners" in Sweden, this article illustrates how an understanding of forest and forest ownership can highlight the dynamic and shifting role of rural areas: as both rural and urban, based on both forest property and second-home ownership. It also illustrates that rural areas are not only post-productive but also continuously over time production areas, in addition to many other use patterns, and that rural areas can be areas of forest-related industrial and services growth, and thus rural growth. The article also illustrates that forest areas in Sweden, but also more broadly Fennoscandia, can be seen as areas with different habitation patterns and linkages between nature and population than what has often been described in broader rural literature.

“…Az erdőtulajdonosok csoportosítása a szakirodalomban mindig az adott vizsgálat céljait és szempontjait követi (Ficko & Lidestav 2017), azonban általánosságban elmondható, hogy az új tulajdonosi csoportok jellemzően kisebb mértékben függenek az erdőből származó jövedelmektől, és nagyobb jelentőséget tulajdonítanak az erdők rekreációs funkcióinak. Caputo & Butler (2017) vizsgálatai szerint az ökoszisztéma szolgáltatások tudatos használata az Amerikai Egyesült Államokban a magán-erdőtulajdonosok igen nagy részét jellemzi, de az ezekből elérhető bevételi lehetőségeket nem használják ki.…”

KivonatA földhivatali nyilvántartás adatainak teljes körű elemzése alapján elmondható, hogy a legalább 0,5 ha nagyságú, erdő művelési ágban levő és nem a magyar állam kizárólagos tulajdonát képező erdőterületek tulajdonosainak száma csaknem 425 ezer fő magánszemély és 3 ezer gazdasági, önkormányzati, egyházi és civil szervezet. A tanulmány elsősorban a magánszemély tulajdonosok helyzetét elemzi, és megállapítja, hogy a férfi és a női tulajdonosok létszáma közel azonos, de a férfiak tulajdonát képező erdőterület csaknem kétszer akkora, mint a női tulajdonosok erdőterülete. A tulajdonosok több mint fele községben él, egynegyede kisvárosban, egyötöde pedig nagyvárosban; a külföldön, vagy ismeretlen helyen élők aránya elenyésző. Az átlagos tulajdoni nagyság 1,85 ha, a tulajdoneloszlás jelentősen koncentrált. Míg a tulajdonosok egyharmada 0,1 ha-nál kisebb tulajdonnal rendelkezik és az általuk tulajdonlott erdőterület csak 0,6%-os részesedést tesz ki, addig a 10 ha-nál nagyobb erdőterületű tulajdonosok a 3,1%-os létszámarány mellett 55,0% területarányt érnek el. A tulajdonosok kétharmadának egyetlen földrészletben van csak tulajdona, és ugyanekkora arányú a tulajdonuktól legfeljebb 10 km távolságra lakóké is.Kulcsszavak: tulajdoni illetőség, szerzési jogcím, öröklés, tulajdon koncentráció, földforgalom PRIVATE FOREST OWNWERS IN HUNGARY AbstractBased on the analysis of land registry data, it can be concluded that the land lots with forest area larger than 0.5 ha, classified as forest management area and not 100% state property is owned by 425 thousand individuals and 3 thousand organizations such as enterprises, municipalities, civil organizations and churches. This study is focusing on the analysis of individual owners and finds that the number of female and male owners is equal, but male owners own almost double the area than that of the female owners. More than half of the owners live in villages, one-fourth in small towns and one-fifth in large cities, while only a fraction of owners is living abroad or at unknown places. The average size of property is 1.85 ha, and the distribution of property sizes is strongly concentrated. On the one hand, one-third of the owners own less than 0.1 ha and their forests cover only 0.6% of the study area, while on the other hand, the owners with forest area larger than 10 ha have a 3.1% share in the number of owners and a 55.0% of the study area. Two-third of the owners owns forest only in one single land lot, and the same share of owners lives within a 10 km radius from their property.

“…The idea is to group together similar "types" of people based on common behavior. This form of dimension reduction leads to a functional typology which, while not describing the individual, represents archetypal patterns of behavior that tend to repeat themselves within the community (Ficko, Ní Dhubháin, Karppinen, & Westin, 2019). AFTs have proven to be useful for modeling human decision-making in a variety of applications, especially in the agricultural sector (Guillem, Barnes, Rounsevell, & Renwick, 2012;Karali, Brunner, Doherty, Hersperger, & Rounsevell, 2013) and in the context of large-scale socio-ecological systems (Arneth, Brown, & Rounsevell, 2014;Rounsevell, Robinson, & Murray-Rust, 2012).…”

Landowner Functional Types to Characterize Response to Forest Insects

Forest insects and pathogens (FIPs) play an important role in the complex interactions between woodland owners and the ecosystems they manage. Understanding the specifics of woodland owner decision-making with regard to trees impacted by FIPs can facilitate projections of future forest conditions and insect spread. Our first objective is to: (i) characterize agent functional types (AFTs) of New England family forest owners (FFOs) using a set of contingent behavior questions contained in a mail survey of FFOs concerning response to FIPs. We establish AFTs as a form of dimension reduction, effectively assigning individual FFOs to particular decision-making classes, each with distinct probabilities of behavior with respect to the harvest of impacted trees. Our second objective is to: (ii) model AFT membership to predict the distribution of AFTs across the landscape. Predictors are chosen from a set of survey, geographic, and demographic features. Accomplishing (i) establishes three functional classes of landowners: ‘cutters’ (46% of respondents; highly likely to cut timber impacted by FIPs), ‘responsive’ cutters (42% of respondents; sensitive to pest severity), and ‘non-cutters’ (12% of respondents; highly unlikely to cut). Fulfilling (ii) provides a high-resolution probability surface of AFTs across the landscape, delivering key input for simulation models of forest and land cover change in New England. Predictors in our best model of AFT membership include parcel size (hectares of forest), region, and town-level forested fraction.
