“…At the other end of the scale the baseline combination (even-sized coniferous stands where all dead trees are removed) was the least liked stand type; most changes from the base-case provoked positive WTP. Thus the study shows the considerable recreational values of forests with higher visual diversity, as has often been suggested (Ribe, 1989;Bell et al, 2005;Gustavsson et al, 2005).…”

“…Some claim a need to widen the view of management from preservation of spaces to include strategic approaches and planning (Gustavsson, Hermy, Konijnendijk, & Steidle-Schwahn, 2005;Jansson & Lindgren, 2012;Konijnendijk, 1999;Morgan, 1991;Randrup & Persson, 2009;Steiner, 1991). Within urban forestry and park management, the 'management organisation' and its strategic and tactical work are therefore often given particular attention, sometimes distinguished from management activities (de Magalhães & Carmona, 2009;Gustavsson et al, 2005).…”

The governance of landscape management: new approaches to urban open space development

The concept and practice of urban open space (UOS) management is becoming increasingly influenced by varying governance arrangements for participatory co-development. These varying arrangements generate multifaceted approaches to UOS management as well as to landscape architecture more broadly. Governance and management constitute two central themes within UOS development, but their combination has so far been little addressed, despite its potential in addressing different desired values and processes. This paper uses a secondary case study approach to highlight and analyse this combination in different contexts and discusses conceptual use and knowledge gaps within landscape architecture, critically rethinking current process logics, reflecting on new tendencies for co-and self-management and discussing consequences for theory and practice. The conceptual understanding of governance approaches in UOS management presented may be useful for sustainable long-term development of UOS.

“…Public spaces, however, are often under rather uninteresting (unethical, unaesthetic, not place-specific, not creative) forest maintenance, including standardization of ecological aims or aspects related to the population's health and recreation i.e. environmental protection, social governance, and control of public needs and preferences (Gustavsson et al 2005). Is it the case that private space is more expressed and public space is muter?…”

“…However, we think it is important to raise these questions and present some ideas and conceptual discussion of what forest stewardship is, and how stewardship is related to other similar concepts such as forest dwelling and forest maintenance, to private land versus public land, as well as to the relationship between practical wisdom and more technical research knowledge (e.g. Gustavsson et al 2005). …”

There is a major trend in forest management that local managers are being replaced by entrepreneurs, who are often less placedependent. Entrepreneurs are also more updated when it comes to scientific knowledge and national and international trends in forest values and functions, as well as knowledge about general planning and management concepts that have high value for tourism and recreation. Parallel with the observed changing management culture, there also seems to be an increased abstraction of forest values and functions in forest certification programmes. The article briefly presents some key aspects of Aldo Leopold's thinking that are of relevance for forest stewardship, and discusses these in relation to key forest stewardship trends in a Nordic forestry context. In a Nordic tradition, forest management and planning are deeply rooted in local management practice carried out by official local supervisors in cooperation with forest owners and other stakeholders. Local traditions and accumulated local knowledge over time were, in addition to updated scientific knowledge, important skills for local managers. Today's post-modern forestry includes complex multi-valued forest situations on different scales, which are even more complex and challenging to manage than the more utilitarian historical forest was.
