The Need to Establish a Social and Economic Database of Private Forest Owners: The Case of Lithuania

In Lithuania, as in other analyzed countries, greatest attention is concentrated on the protection and monitoring of state forests, while the situation in the private forest sector is quite unclear and uncertain. In most European countries, as well as in Lithuania, there are a lack of socio-economic data, and there are no planned forest monitoring methods and permanent programs. We claim that the problem of achieving sustainability in the forest sector, in the case of the estates of the private forest owners, could be partially solved by implementing the monitoring of social and economic indicators. This study proposes the need for the establishment of a social and economic database of private forest owners in Lithuania. In this article, we have carried out a detailed analysis of scientific sources and selected socio-economic indicators to help the adoption of optimal management solutions for sustainability in the private forest sector. To explore the need to establish a social and economic database of private forest owners in Lithuania, we conducted an empirical study by applying the method of semi-structured interview to a group of experts/specialists in the forestry field. Summarizing the results of the research, it can be concluded that the need for socio-economic information about the owners of private forests in Lithuania is obvious, as it would clarify the most pressing problems that forest owners face when farming in their forest estates. This information would also allow the improvement of policy formulation and implementation, the adoption of legal regulations, and the organization of the necessary changes in private forestry. Therefore, it is necessary to establish criteria and indicators that could ensure more sustainable forest management

Šiuolaikinės valstybės ir bažnyčios požiūris į santuoką

Santuokinės teisės ir pareigos religijos požiūriu yra privalomos ne tik viešojo gyvenimo santykiuose, bet ir sąžinės požiūriu. Šiuolaikinės civilizacijos demokratinės visuomenės pripažįsta savo piliečių teisę gerbti savo įsipareigojimus tiek pagal valstybinę, tiek konfesinę teisę. Tačiau šios abi sistemos yra labai skirtingos. Kai kurios šalys pripažįsta bažnytinę santuoką, kitose teisines pasekmes sukelia tik santuokos sudarytos pagal valstybės keliamus reikalavimus. Moderni bažnyčia aiškiai pasisako už santuoką ir šeimą, tačiau nepripažįsta civilinės santuokos. Moderni valstybė pripažįsta civilinės santuokos registraciją, tačiau valstybė pripažįsta tik tas santuokas, kurios yra sudarytos pagal civilinės teisės keliamus reikalavimus. Tiek religinės bendruomenės, tiek ir valstybė turi stiprius interesus reglamentuojant santuokas. Šie interesai kyla iš esminių institucinių bei praktinių ir koncepcinių bažnyčios ir valstybės reikmių. Konfliktai tarp valstybės bažnyčios, reguliuojant santuokos instituciją iš vienos pusės kyla santuokos sudarymo ir pripažinimo klausymais, konfliktus iš kitos pusės sukelia ir santuokos anuliavimo, nutraukimo klausimai. Valstybės požiūriu santuoka yra sutartis, bažnyčios- sutartis ir sakramentas. Valstybė ir bažnyčia liberalioje valstybėje pripažįsta viena kitos suverenitetą savo srityje ir abi bendradarbiauja. Problemos iškyla kada šios abi institucijos siekia realizuoti savo suverenitetą. Abi institucijos rūpinasi žmonių gerove. Valstybė sutuoktiniais rūpinasi tik pasaulietinėje srityje, kuri detaliai reglamentuoja asmenų gerovę, sukuriant žmonėms galimybes patenkinti savo interesus. Valstybė savo piliečiams suteikia garantijas. Bažnyčios pozicija yra ta, kad, jos nuomone, santuoka yra sakramentas ir savo teisinius santuokos sudarymo padarinius nustumia į antrąją vietą. Šis požiūris yra pagrįstas atsižvelgiant į valdžių padalijimo tarp valstybės ir bažnyčios. Valstybė nustato tik teisiškai privalomas sutuoktinių teises ir pareigas.The matrimonial rights and duties in the religious view are binding not only in the external sphere of public life but in the internal sphere of one’s conscience. Democratic systems of modern civilization recognize the right of their religious citizens to worship and respect their obligations to the confessional law. However, these systems differ in the aspect of respect vis-à-vis the individuals’ religious feelings regarding religious marriage. Confessional marriages are recognized by civil law in some countries: in others – the church marriage is not recognized as it has no legal power. The modern Church is clearly in favour of marriage and family. Marriage and family are no obsolete models of pre-modern times, nor are they solutions to embarrassing situations, nor can they be swept away as a failed development that has to be overcome

Church Marriage and Civil Marriage Compatibility and Recognition Problems in the Law of the Lithuanian Republic

The Republic of Lithuania approach to the marriage institution is mainly social and has currently undergone significant change in the light of changed social and modern circumstances (living conditions, individual needs and abilities).
