èŠă§ăăăăIn this paper, trhe relationship between management of forest owners' association (FOA) and regional structure of forestry is discussed through the case of Hokutan-seibu FOA and Ichinomiya-cho FOA in Hyogo prefecture. In the case of Hokutan-seibu FOA the structure of its activities related to organizing of worker's squad clearly. As a result, in accordance with the increasing of thinning activities in near future, to strengthen the relation of menbership in FOA and to find out the new market for thinning wood sill be needed. In the case of Ichinomiya-cho FOA, main its activities are afforestation but the contents of job in its activities changed from planting and weeding to thinning and prunning. Activities on logging are also increasing gradually by the contracting for logging of national forest. It is neccesarry to streugthen full-time employment on worker's squad to secure the labor force in this FOA
Contact strategy in a Forest Owner's Association : a benchmarking study about customer contact between a Forest Owners' Association and its members
SkogsÀgarföreningen har identifierat att ett av de största problemen för att uppnÄ mÄl kopplade till medlemsnytta ligger i förmÄgan att komma i kontakt med sina medlemmar. Med bakgrund av att skogsÀgarstrukturen förÀndrats under de senaste Ären gjordes denna studie och genom en benchmarkingstudie undersöka vilka skillnader som finns mellan SkogsÀgareföreningens kontaktstrategi och kontaktstrategier hos företag i andra branscher med dokumenterat hög kundnöjdhet. Detta för att se om skogsÀgarföreningar kan dra lÀrdom av arbetssÀtt i andra branscher för att förbÀttra kontakten med befintliga medlemmar.
Sex kvalitativa intervjuer hölls med representanter frĂ„n SkogsĂ€garföreningen, Bank- och försĂ€kringsbolaget, Energibolaget, samt Konsultbolaget. VĂ„rt arbete visar att SkogsĂ€gareföreningen idag har samma typ av kommunikationsvĂ€gar som övriga företag, samt gott om personal vars huvudsakliga uppgift Ă€r att skapa kontakt med skogsĂ€garna. Det som skiljer SkogsĂ€garföreningen frĂ„n övriga företag Ă€r att skogsĂ€garföreningen inte har tydliga rutiner och arbetsprocesser för hur kontaktskapande ska ske och dĂ€r tror vi att det finns en stor utvecklingspotential. Företaget bör ocksĂ„ avvĂ€ga hur personalens arbete ska mĂ€tas, samt ta reda pĂ„ vilka sĂ€ljhinder som finns hos personalen och dĂ€mpa dessa. SkogsĂ€garföreningens ledning bör ocksĂ„ fokusera pĂ„ att kommunicera verksamhetsidĂ©n och organisationens mĂ„l för att skapa en större förstĂ„else och stolthet för dessa internt. Att dessutom fokusera mer pĂ„ att sĂ€tta kunden i centrum och styra verksamheten utifrĂ„n kundnöjdhet kan bli ett framgĂ„ngskoncept för företaget som Ă€ven kan orsaka ökade ekonomiska intĂ€kter.The Swedish Forest Ownersâ Association we have been working with has identified that one of the biggest problems connected to obtaining goals related to benefits for its members lies in the ability to contact its members. This study was made based on the fact that the structure of the private forest owners in Sweden has changed over the last couple of years into more urban owners, not living on their real estate. The study was made as a benchmarking study between the Forest Ownersâ Association and two other companies with documented satisfied customers. The aim was to investigate the differences between the Forest Ownersâ Associationâs contact strategy and contact strategies in the other two companies, to see if a Forest Ownersâ Association can learn from other businesses and improve their contact making with existing members.
Six qualitative interviews were held with representatives from the Forest Ownersâ Association, the Bank- and Insurance Company, the Energy Company and the Consultant Company.
Our work shows that the Forest Owners Association today has the same ways to communicate with its members as the other companies, as well as a lot of human resources whose main task is to contact forest owners. What differs the Forest Owners Association from the other companies is that the Forest Ownersâ Association does not have clear routines and work processes on how to contact customers, and we believe that the major development potential lies here. The Forest Ownersâ Association should also consider how the work of its employees should be measured and identify which Sales Call Reluctance-factors that exist in the organization and try to minimize the effect of these. The management of the Forest Ownersâ Association should also focus on communicating the business idea and the goals of the organization internally to create a greater understanding and pride for the company among the employees. Additionally, focusing more on putting the customer first and managing the business based on customer satisfaction can be a successful concept that also could cause increased financial revenues
Participation of non-industrial private forest owners in National Forest Programmes: a discrete choice model for Northern Portugal
In countries where private forest ownership is very important, knowledge of the behaviour of private forest owners is useful for the design and implementation of successful forest policies. This applies to Portugal where 86 % of the forest lands are private property. This paper presents a study carried out in a region of the Northern part of the country covered by a local forest ownersâ association. Based on individual data about the members of this association concerning some of their characteristics (implementation of publicly subsidised afforestation projects, size of the forest holdings, number of forest holdings belonging to the same owner and distance between the permanent residence of the owner and his forest holdings), a multinomial logit model is estimated for the probabilities of participation on public incentive schemes to finance individual and grouped afforestation projects.non industrial private forest owners, afforestation projects, public incentives

Metsanduse ÔppekavalMetsaressurss on Eesti riigile suure olulisusega, mistÔttu on riik vÔtnud eesmÀrgiks
soodustada metsade heaperemehelikku majandamist luues erametsaomanikele neid abistava
tugisĂŒsteemi. TugisĂŒsteemi pakutavad teenused peavad olema metsaomaniku jaoks
vÔimalikult kvaliteetsed ning seega on oluline teada teenuste kasutajate rahulolu praeguse
pakutavaga.
LĂ”putöö eesmĂ€rgiks on selgitada seoseid riikliku tugisĂŒsteemi ja metsaĂŒhistusse
mittekuuluvate erametsaomanike vahel. Uuringu alusandmeteks on erametsanduse
tugisĂŒsteemi rahulolu tagasisidekĂŒsimustiku vastused, mida analĂŒĂŒsiti nii kvantitatiivse kui
kvalitatiivse meetodiga.
AnalĂŒĂŒsist selgus, et metsaĂŒhistusse mittekuuluvad erametsaomanikud on kursis eelkĂ”ige SA
Erametsakeskus ja konsulentidega ning vĂ€hem tuntakse neid tugisĂŒsteemi osasid (Eesti
Erametsaliit, KeskĂŒhistu Eramets, Eesti PuidumĂŒĂŒgikeskus), mille otsene sihtgrupp on
metsaĂŒhistud. Metsaomanikel on vaja kĂ”ige enam erametsanduslikke toetusi ning kĂ”ige
vĂ€hem oluliseks peetakse metsade sertifitseerimist. TugisĂŒsteemi peamise puudusena toodi
vĂ€lja halba infokorraldust. Lisaks selgus, et tugisĂŒsteemist on vĂ€hem teadlikud
looduskaitseliste piirangutega metsade omanikud.
LĂ”putöö tulemusi saab kasutada erametsanduse edendamisel â teades metsaomanike sidet
praeguse tugisĂŒsteemiga on vĂ”imalik tugisĂŒsteemi kvaliteeti vastavalt muuta.Forest resources are essential for Estonia and therefore a set of goals have been established
together with a support system. Its function is to assist and help private forest owners with
forest management. The services offered by the system have to be good and the quality could
be changed by knowing the consumers satisfaction with the current state.
The aim of this thesis is to elucidate forest owner association non-members relationships with
the national support system. The data for this study originates from a satisfaction survey of
private forestry support system conducted in 2017. The data analysis is based on quantitative
and qualitative methods. The results were expressed primarily using descriptive statistics.
The results showed that private forest owners are more informed about the Foundation Private
Forest Centre and the regional consultants. However, they are less aware of those parts of the
support system which target groups include mainly forest owners associations. Private forest
owners regard forestry subsidies as the most significant part of the national support system.
Less interest was shown in forest certification. Information management was named as the
main disadvantage of the existing support system. The results showed that those forest owners
with properties with conservation restrictions were in less contact with the support system and
less aware of its existence.
The results of this thesis could be applied when developing the private forestry support
system. The quality of the support system for private forest owners can be adjusted knowing
forest ownersâ satisfaction with the current private forestry support system
Members of forest owners association Mellanskogs views on pre-commercial thinning
The main purpose of this study is to investigate the needs of pre-commercial thinning on private owned forest properties, which is considered to be increasing. The reason is believed to be the high cost of labor that pre-commercial thinning brings. Furthermore thinning is costly, the revenue created through pre-commercial thinning are post-poned until the first thinning.
The study was made through a survey among members of Mellanskog forest owners association. The survey was distributed by e-mail. The time to answer was set to two weeks.
The answers indicate that the most common reason why the pre-commercial thinning is delayed, or not done at all, is the forest ownerâs lack of time. The high cost is also a common reason. The answers to some questions indicate that there is a certain need of advisory service among the owners of small properties, as well as owners that does not live on their property

Bakalaureusetöö
Metsanduse Ă”ppekavalBakalaureusetöö eesmĂ€rk on selgitada metsaĂŒhistute spetsialistide vaateid erametsanduse tugisĂŒsteemi toimimise ning selle arenguvajaduse kohta.
EesmĂ€rgi tĂ€itmiseks viidi lĂ€bi kaheksa pool-struktureeritud intervjuud erinevate metsaĂŒhistute spetsialistidega. KĂ”ik intervjuud lindistati metsaĂŒhistu spetsialistide nĂ”usolekul ning iga intervjuu kohta tehti eraldi transkriptsioonid MS Word programmis. Intervjuus olevad kĂŒsimused jagunesid peamiselt kaheks valdkonnaks. Esimeses pooles olid kĂŒsimused seotud metsaĂŒhistu toimimisega ning teises pooles erametsanduse tugisĂŒsteemiga.
AnalĂŒĂŒsist selgus, et enamuse arvates on Eesti erametsasektor ĂŒsna perspektiivikas metsaomanikke ja nende vajadusi koondav kogum. MetsaĂŒhistu arengusse usuvad kĂ”ik, soovides laiendada hallatavat metsamaa pindala ning liikmete arvu. TugisĂŒsteemi optimaalsuses kahtleb ĂŒle kolmandiku vastanutest. Probleemideks tuuakse vĂ€lja vĂ€ikeste metsaĂŒhistute ja metsaomanike suretamine ning mitte toetamine. TugisĂŒsteemis positiivne on metsaomanike aktiivsus astuda metsaĂŒhistutesse, sealhulgas metsaĂŒhistute enda hea majandamise ning nĂ”ustamisteenuse osutamine.The aim of the bachelor thesis is to investigate the views of forest owner association specialists on the functioning of the support system for private forestry and its development needs.
To do this, eight semi-structured interviews were carried out with different association specialists. All interviews were recorded with the permit of the association specialists and then transcribed in MS Word. The questions touched to broad areas. In the first part of the interview, questions related to the functioning of the association were asked. In the second part, also questions related to the support system were asked.
From the analysis, it became clear that the majority of the interviewees considered the Estonian private forestry sector quite potential as a complex system of forest owners and their needs. The interviewees believe in the development of forest owner associations, they wish to expand the forest area and the number of members. However, more than one third of the respondents questioned the optimality of the support system. Highlighted problems include the eradication of small forest owner associations and forest owners and the failure in supporting them. Within the support system, the active joining of forest owners with associations is considered positive, including the good management by the associations and the provision of advisory services
Preliminary Evidence on Responses to the New Zealand Forestry Emissions Trading Scheme
New Zealand is the first country to implement a Greenhouse Gas Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) that includes a forestry component as part of its contribution to global climate mitigation and as a strategy for compliance with the international climate change agreement the Kyoto Protocol. The goal of this paper is to provide information o forestryâs role in the New Zealand ETS such that a foreign policymaker will be able to understand the intricacies and issues of the New Zealand system and be able to apply this knowledge to the design of his or her own ETS. This paper also aims to provide useful documentation of the system as it stands in 2010 for the New Zealand Parliament to use in future reviews of the system. The paper first provides a brief outline of the role of forestry in New Zealandâs ETS, including the reasons for its inclusion in the greater system and the rules by which forestry operates within the system. This paper then analyses these rules, indicating the reasons behind the inclusion of certain provisions where the reasoning may not be immediately clear. Finally, this paper provides both quantitative and qualitative data on how well the system is working so far, whether the system is operating as predicted, and why any discrepancies between predicted and actual outcomes arise.Forestry; emissions trading; carbon trading; climate change; climate change mitigation; government policy; New Zealand

Mapping and explaining the productivity of Pinus radiata in New Zealand
Mapping Pinus radiata productivity for New Zealand not only provides useful information for forest owners, industry stakeholders and policy managers, but also enables current and future plantations to be visualised, quantified, and planned. Using an extensive set of permanent sample plots, split into fitting (n = 1,146) and validation (n = 618) datasets, models of P. radiata 300 Index (an index of volume mean annual increment) and Site Index (an index of height growth) were developed using a regression kriging technique. Spatial predictions were accurate and accounted for 61% and 70% of the variance for 300 Index and Site Index, respectively. Productivity predicted from these surfaces for the entire plantation estate averaged 27.4 mÂł haâ»Âč yrâ»Âč for the 300 Index and 30.4 m for Site Index. Surfaces showed wide regional variation in this productivity, which was attributable mainly to variation in air temperature and root-zone water storage from site to site
