“…For effective stakeholder participation, it is important to understand their perceptions and attitudes [74], since sometimes conservation is not well understood [75]. Local stakeholder involvement is fundamental since land use systems are part of the local identity [76], with important social, cultural, and religious dimensions, as revealed by studies from Chile [77,78]. In certain contexts, local actors are able to interlink local and traditional knowledge with modern insights [79].…”

Forest land provides several environmental services and goods with significant implications for different socioeconomic and environmental dimensions. Forestry and its management are determinant activities for sustainable development, specifically in the current context of urgent mitigation of climate change. In this perspective, one objective of this research was to survey the main insights from the literature about the forest and management dimensions put together, highlighting the contributions of these activities to mitigate climate change. Another objective was to explore indicators related to forest management (land, employment, output, and net emissions) in order to obtain a forest sustainability index through factor analysis. As main insights from this study, we can quote that the literature survey pinpoints the most relevant factors framing forest management: soil characteristics, ecology, ecosystems, biodiversity, deforestation, climate change, socioeconomic frameworks, local knowledge, public policies, institutional context, and new technologies. Forest indicators reveal a strong relationship between forest land, employment and output, and a weaker relation with net emissions. We concluded that there is a need for stakeholders to explore and improve the interlinkage with climate change impact, specifically with regard to improving the relationships of forestry greenhouse gas emissions impacts with forest size and output.

“…Prior research argues that when considering the various forms of natural resource-related economic development policy makers could encourage in rural areas, it is important to consider local community support and buy-in (Gordon & Barton, 2015;Park, Nunkoo, & Yoon, 2015;Roseland, 2000). If local communities are resistant to strategies aimed at revitalizing their economies, economic development efforts may prove contentious, or even impossible.…”

“…If local communities are resistant to strategies aimed at revitalizing their economies, economic development efforts may prove contentious, or even impossible. When officials make decisions based on assumptions about the public interest, it can negatively affect public support and cooperation (Gordon & Barton, 2015). It has been noted, in the case of both extractive and non-extractive forms of development, that understanding and assessing community support and interest is essential for sustainable and successful development (Gordon & Barton, 2015;Nunkoo, Smith, & Ramkissoon, 2013).…”

Understanding rural resident support for various forms of natural resource related economic development has been a common research topic in rural sociology. However, the vast majority of research has only evaluated support for one form of natural resource use at a time. The little research that has explored support for a wide variety of uses has found that residents are likely to support many of the suggested forms of development. We assessed rural resident support for seven forms of natural resource development: commercial logging, natural gas, mining, real estate, wind energy, tourism, and outdoor recreation. Using social exchange theory, this study examines the influence of perceived impacts of development, industry trust, and perceived industry power on general support for the seven forms of natural resource-related economic development using a fixed effects generalized linear model among a sample of residents of rural Pennsylvania communities. Additionally, we use mixed logit discreet choice modeling to evaluate the drivers of relative support, meaning a stated preference for one form of development over other possible options. The drivers of general support and relative support were similar, with trust in industry and impacts to quality of life emerging as the primary drivers of both.

“…As opposed to more traditional policy making which fails to incorporate views of local residents, planning that accounts for residents' views and builds trust in leaders and the process can contribute to better outcomes for more stakeholder groups. Particularly in relation to natural resource‐related economic development, past research has argued that local community support is important if the efforts are to be sustainable and successful (Gordon and Barton 2015; Nunkoo, Smith, and Ramkissoon 2013; Park, Nunkoo, and Yoon 2015; Roseland 2000).…”

Preferences for Economic and Environmental Goals in Rural Community Development in the Western United States*

et al. 2022

Rural residents in the United States do not always agree on local development priorities, yet understanding and accounting for their preferences is a step towards more effective and equitable community development. We use survey data spanning different types of rural Intermountain West communities to gauge residents' preference weights for economic and environmental rural development goals. Given that community tenure and age are often related to development preferences, respondents are divided into three groups based on these factors using a classification tree approach. Long-term residents (>36 percent of life spent in the community) have the strongest economic preferences, while older newcomers have the strongest environmental preferences. The Leti heterogeneity index reveals that long-term residents also displayed the greatest homogeneity of preferences. Ordered probit analysis shows that goal preferences are also related to sex, education, household income, community financial security, and the share of county income derived from wealth assets. These findings provide a more nuanced and methods-based understanding of residential tenure in a community and its relationship to development attitudes across a variety of rural place types, all valuable information for rural community and economic development practitioners.
