Public Perception of Traditional Forest Management Approaches

Original language description

Our contribution presents results of public opinion survey regarding newly applied traditional forest management approaches (coppice and coppice-with-standards) at the Training Forest Enterprise ""Masarykův les"" Křtiny (Czech Republic). At the turn of the years 2014/2015, a public opinion survey was performed at Hády district, where a conversion to copice-with-standards is being carried out. During the summer months of the year 2015, public opinion was surveyed at the Lesná locality, where another conversion to coppice is being carried out. Both conversions are located in suburban areas of the Brno city. The aim of the survey was to find out, whether the newly applied management approaches a) evoke an impression of better forest management, b) are considered more esthetical (as compared to standard high forest model), c) could become a demanded management way on bigger forest areas in the future. Respondents also assessed their impressions evoked by either coppice or coppice-with standards by marking (from 1-excellent to 5-unsufficient). Our results revealed that public opinion doesn't differ with age, gender and achieved educational degree (besides rare exceptions). Coppice-withstandards (coppice respectively) evokes an impression of a better forest management way in 47 % (29 %) of respondents. It was assigned with a higher esthetical value by 28 % (15 %) of the respondents. In the future, it would be demanded on greater areas of the forest by 42 % (34 %) of the respondents. Respondents marked their impression evoked by coppice-with-standards (high forest respectively) with an average mark 3.0 (4.0). Respondents marked their impression evoked by coppice (high forest respectively) with an average mark 3.0 (1.0). Based upon all of above mentioned figures, it could be summed up that public perception of coppice is worse than that of coppice-with-standards.
