Public perception of agriculture and forestry in rural areas
Abstract
Non-wood products and services are not necessarily public goods whose market price is zero. In the cases of forest recreation and conservation, the project investigates the possibility to transform public goods into impure private goods. In the case of protection against natural hazards, the attitudes towards various policy means are explored by quantitative methods of empirical social research. The competence of foresters as regards the provision of forest services is investigated by 3 sub-studies (recreation, nature conservation, and protection against natural hazards). The sub-studies focus on the willingness of the beneficiaries to pay for forest services. This knowledge can be used for modifying the existing policy instruments.
