“…In turn, the risk of higher cost led to (re)selection of incumbent multistory construction technologies (i.e., concrete multistory construction). Several studies have corroborated and commented extensively on similar sets of barriers discussed by the key informants (see e.g., Aaltonen et al, 2021;Ruuska and Häkkinen, 2016;Hurmekoski et al, 2015Hurmekoski et al, , 2018Lazarevic et al, 2020;Toppinen et al, 2018aToppinen et al, , 2018bToppinen et al, , 2019aToppinen et al, , 2019bToivonen et al, 2021a;Vihemaki et al, 2019). Because this dissertation research is concerned with municipalities, I will not comment on these aforementioned barriers further.…”

“…However, this kind of comparison is limited to the kinds of indicators that are possible to model, thereby excluding qualitative aspects of ecosystem service provision, such as different scenarios' impacts on people's quality of life. In contrast, some studies have used qualitative participatory approaches to develop preferred forest futures with stakeholders (Bizikova et al, 2012;Sandström et al, 2016;de Bruin et al, 2017;Toivonen et al, 2021). They have used backcasting approaches to develop desirable future visions and identify potential pathways to reach them, focusing primarily on the management of social systems.…”

“…During workshop 2, the future scenarios (Figure 5) were used in a participatory backcasting process de Bruin et al 2017;Toivonen et al 2021) to outline the policy targets and tools needed to reach the future visons that were incorporated into the scenarios. Thus, during workshop 2, participants were invited to rank which of the scenarios they wished to develop pathways for, and then divided into groups based on those requests.…”

Forests are expected to provide multiple ecosystem services and mitigate climate change whilst also being adapted to the impacts of climate change. This thesis aims to analyse these competing expectations placed on forests in Sweden and how to tailor forest management locally to meet them by (i) applying machine learning to analyse forest conflicts in daily media from 2012 to 2022 and (ii) collaborating with local forest stakeholders to co-produce locally-tailored forest management pathways in two study areas in Sweden. The results showed that media coverage of forest conflicts has increased over time and that the conflicts concerned why and for whom forests should be managed. The co-production processes additionally highlighted expectations of how forests should be managed. Overall, the local stakeholders wanted to diversify forest management to enable more multifunctional and climate-smart forests, whilst they also stressed several conditions that may enable or disable its implementation in practice, depending on how they are handled. To adapt forest management to climate change impacts, the stakeholders emphasised the value of learning from past experiences and continuously improving management in line with an adaptive forest management approach. To limit climate change, they argued that it is necessary to consider climate change mitigation holistically and in conjunction with climate change adaptation and forests’ provision of ecosystem services. By collaborating with local stakeholders and combining their context-based local knowledge with forest science, this thesis developed a broader and pluralistic understanding of forest management while enabling collaborative learning. In summary, this thesis highlights competing expectations placed on forests in Sweden and the value of co-production processes to tailor forest management to local socio-ecological contexts in collaboration with local stakeholders.

“…Therefore, timber buildings have been gaining increasing global attention since some authors, for example, De Araujo et al [23,24], Petruch and Walcher [25], Toivonen et al [26], and Jussila et al [27], have confirmed its up-and-coming market status. Other relevant studies discuss construction supplies [16,[28][29][30], identification of different timber construction techniques [31][32][33][34][35], forecasts of market trends [36][37][38], and evaluations of market potential for specific construction techniques [39][40][41].…”

Is the Timber Construction Sector Prepared for E-Commerce via Instagram®? A Perspective from Brazil

Timber construction is a contemporary solution where sales are performed through in-store trade. Timber house e-commerce may stimulate global markets, and in times of intense remote routines, it is useful to improve the performance of the wood and construction sectors. Timber housing producers and dealers are the research object under analysis to study the electronic market of this Brazilian sector on Instagram®. With just over four hundred companies, nearly 80% of this sector already utilizes this virtual social network. We validated the outcomes through a significant sampling of all 315 companies with corporate profiles to identify their competences, goals, and failures. The profiles prioritize the elucidation of products and basic features, not yet being ready for the virtual sales of timber houses. The study makes it clear that our results typify a sector marked by a developing electronic market. Inserting a description of product prices and detailed specifications may change this status. From failures and competences, a classification for social profiles was proposed to measure the progress and virtual participation of each individual.
