How Are Wood and Non-Wood Forest Products Utilized in the Czech Republic? A Preliminary Assessment of a Nationwide Survey on the Bioeconomy
Original language description
The Czech forests occupy 33,7 percent of the total country area. Thus, wood and non-wood forest products (NWFPs) are important resources for the country. To date, the country has not adopted a forest bioeconomy strategy. A forest bioeconomy is defined as all activities that relate to the forest ecosystem services (FES). This study aimed to provide an initial evaluation regarding the use of forest products and related factors and to make recommendations on developing wood consumption and promoting other FES for the adoption of a forest bioeconomy strategy in the country. The research study was part of a nationwide survey in June 2019. An online panel of 1050 respondents aged 18 to 65 years old were recruited based on a quota sampling procedure. Wood products were the most preferred material for furniture (96,3 percent) and building materials (46,3 percent). In total, 38,6 percent of Czech residents used wood as a source of energy, mostly in the form of firewood. It is challenging to switch the practic
