20.500.12556/RUL-166290 Factors influencing private forest owners decision-making rationalities to implement salvage logging after large-scale natural disturbances in Slovenia This study examines the factors that influence the decision-making rationality of private forest owners (PFOs) when implementing salvage logging after large-scale natural disturbances. The literature suggests two main responses to large large-scale natural disturbances: performing salvage logging and no salvage at all. When salvage logging is carried out, two different strategies can be applied: clearing, i.e. all trees are removed, including damaged trees and standing survivors; and salvaging, i.e. damaged trees are removed but the surviving trees are left and some dead trees are left standing. In an online survey conducted in Slovenia in March and April 2022, responses were collected from 1515 forest-owning households. A logistic regression model was created to analyse the data and understand how socio-demographic characteristics, characteristics of forest property, forest management activities and the market influence their decisions. The results show that previous management activities and cooperation with service providers significantly influence PFOs' decision-making rationality to implement salvage logging. The study contributes to a nuanced understanding of the complex decision-making processes in forestry. Future research opportunities lie in investigating specific aspects of past management activities and understanding the dynamics in cooperation between different actors to develop customised policies for effective forest management after large-scale natural disturbances. forestry environmental disturbances private forest owners decision making process post-damage management logistic regression analysis gozdarstvo okoljske motnje zasebni lastniki gozdov proces odločanja upravljanje po poškodbah logistična regresijska analiza true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2025-01-06 10:28:52 2025-01-06 10:28:58 2025-01-07 03:48:18 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 Str. 165-177 no. 1 Vol. 46 2025 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 630*68 1848-9672 10.5552/crojfe.2025.2825 216519427 RAZ_Stare_Darja_2025.pdf RAZ_Stare_Darja_2025.pdf 1 6DB39FC1E2F919F65053A9AF38D7814B a2859d773fbd94345b5e15e97b2c83f4bf5244d70cf701322dfb13bf805d5f95 35d949e9-cc10-11ef-b232-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=197782 https://crojfe.com/archive/volume-46-no-1/factors-influencing-private-forest-owners-decision-making-rationalities-to-implement-salvage-logging-after-large-scale-natural/ 1 f47daa6c-cc0f-11ef-b232-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=197780 Biotehniška fakulteta 0 0 0
