“…There is also a growing interest in a change in forestry practices (Buchy & Hoverman 2000). This is the reason why those professionals in forestry need to communicate their ideas and actions, not only to other professionals, but also to a higher number of nonprofessionals (Tyrväinen et al 2006). Sugimura & Howard (2008) recommend the participation of stakeholders in the final phases of forest zoning.…”

Stakeholder participation in decisions related to forest planning is essential to get long-lasting and viable solutions. Nowadays, public participation is necessary to reach consensus in natural resource management and in citizen governance of land. It is a key element in a forest planning on a strategic level. However, only the first steps are being taken to include public participation in forest planning within the forestry sector. This paper proposes a review of public participation processes in forest planning as a reference for the development of new methodologies in areas with no previous experience in participative processes. The assessment of the existing scientific literature and its use in different models and countries show a high diversity of responses to the challenge of including social aspects and integrating them with methodological proposals.

“…Though it is common in this kind of research to use blind questionnaires and interviews to map social values (e.g. Tyrva¨inen et al, 2006), those few that have been carried out in the Irish landscape have taken a more anthropological approach, where the researcher is embedded in the community for some time (O'Rourke, 2005). Still others favour targeted interviews with key stakeholders such as farmers (Curry, 1997).…”

Industrially Harvested Peatlands and After-use Potential: Understanding Local Stakeholder Narratives and Landscape Preferences

Recent years have witnessed much debate on the turn towards community within landscape management and planning. This is particularly evident in the European Landscape Convention which asserts the legitimacy of local preferences and citizen involvement in policy processes. This paper explores a bottom-up perspective on people-place relationships in a changing landscape, through assessing the after-use potential of industrially mined peatlands in Ireland and the rehabilitation of degraded landscapes. The mining of the peatland resource has a longstanding tradition in Ireland, however, significant attention has now focused on exploring market and non-market uses of remains after harvesting has finished resulting in a cutaway landscape. We argue that local people's everyday experiences of the landscape is a legitimate form of knowledge and should provide a key input into deliberative planning and management processes. Drawing largely on an interpretive research approach, we assess key local narratives in relation to harvested peatland landscapes and explore local people's after-use preferences. There appears to be strong support among the local community for amenity/biodiversity after-uses, which are currently not reflected in public policy debates. We review people-place relationships and discuss the role of ethnographic research in a peatland context as well as defining the relevant stakeholders. Finally, conclusions are developed to identify wider lessons for people/place relationships within the context of landscape management and planning.

“…Aesthetic quality is defined as a value judgment based on the appearance of a landscape and a person's emotional response to it (Daniel 2001). Thus, aesthetic value is of significance when evaluating the quality of urban forests and plays an increasingly important role in the planning of urban forests Tyrväinen et al 2006. However, it is challenging to make an objective assessment regarding aesthetic quality and integrate it into management plans.…”

Urban forests form an important component of the urban environment. They make a significant contribution to landscape silhouettes due to species diversity and the differences observed within forest communities such as tree composition, size and form. Visual effects such as these are referred as aesthetic value. Therein, quantitative assessments of targeted forest structures that will optimize aesthetic values are vital during urban forest planning. However, the silhouette effect, which is an important component of aesthetic value, has not been extensively studied to date. This study aims to reveal the relationship between forest structure, the visual quality of tree composition and the different forms and sizes that create the silhouette effect. To this end, virtual landscapes of different structures were created using computer-assisted images. The forest structure was characterized by a Form Mingling Index (FMI) and Height Dominance Index (HDI). A Pearson correlation was applied in order to find the relationship between the landscape silhouette values through a perceptual test as well as the FMI and HDI. The results of the analyses showed that there was a strong positive relationship between the FMI and HDI (r = 0.78, r = 0.75, P \ 0.01, respectively) and landscape silhouette values. The combined effect of FMI ? HDI was found to have the highest relationship with landscape silhouette values (r = 0.80, P \ 0.01). In conclusion, FMI and HDI offer a rapid, cost-effective method which can be used by managers to assess the silhouette value of an urban forest landscape.
