AbstractMultifunctionality of forests. Multifunctionality, defined as the simultanous provision of multiple goods and services on the same forest area has been critized. Silviculturists discuss about separating forest functions and spatial scales of multifunctionality while economically oriented forest enterprises prefer a segregation for reasons of efficiency. The concept of ecosystem goods and services is an approach to quantify and valuate often poorly defined forest functions by means of indicators. Based on the third Swiss national forest inventory one can indentify large forest areas in Switzerland with multiple functions. Potential conflicts arise between the production and recreation function around areas of high population density. Looking at the production and protection function there are spatial preferences with a concentration of the production in the northern half and larges areas of forest with protective functions in the Alpine areas of Switzerland in the South. The quantification and valuation of foKeywordsmultiple use forestry, forest functions, ecosystem goods and services, valuation of non-timber forest products, total economic value of forests |

Holzproduktion im Schweizer Wald: Potenzial und Nutzungskonflikte.Der multifunktionale Wald Konflikte und Lösungen. Forum für Wissen. 2011: 15-21.
AbstractTimber production in Swiss forests: potential and conflicting interests. Forests in Switzerland have to fulfill three main functions: timber production, protection against natural hazards and welfare benefits for the population, including recreation, drinking water, and nature protection. These are, according to the current rules and regulations, all equally important. Because of these different demands on the forest, conflicts arise, which become more acute the more needs there are. This paper focuses on the conflicts that constrain forest management and timber production: between nature conservation measures, particularly reserves and protected old-growth trees and the recreational use of forests, which may hamper forest management and maintenance, and generates additional costs to ensure safety. Another factor is the pressure of game, since the high stocks hunters like lead to severe damage to regeneration. With increasing pressure on timber as a renewable resource to replace exhaustible raw materials,Keywordsrenewable resources, timber production, forest management, nature conservation, recreational use of forests, game damage |

AbstractDealing with conflict potential in forests close to cities (or in urban areas). The City of St. Gallen has created the slogan Living in the green ring as part of its logo. This expresses the City authorities aim to indicate that owning a forest should provide quality of life for the local population. In this sense ensuring the Citys inhabitants are content and avoiding conflicts in their forest are crucial parts of the local added value and a challenge for forest management.Keywordstimber harvest, conflict prevention, public relations work |

AbstractSustainable silviculture and the conservation of biological diversity in forests. Biodiversity conservation has become an integral part of multifunctional forest management in Central Europe. In Switzerland, sustainable management practices have led to a positive development of indicators for 'close-to-nature' silviculture during recent decades, including increases in forest area, stand age and the proportion of old timber and dead trees. While numerous species have benefited from integrative sustainable silviculture, it has been less effective in fulfilling the requirements of habitat specialists of semi-open forests, and of communities of old-growth forest species. In the near future, increasing demand for energy timber and climate change are likely to be a challenge for the conservation of forest biodiversity. This paper reviews findings from ecological studies relevant for conservation practice and presents some important concepts and instruments for protecting, conserving and promoting biological diversKeywordsbiological diversity, complementarity, conservation, habitat specialists, multifunctionality, silvicultural practice, Switzerland |

AbstractPromoting biodiversity in forests in the Grisons, Switzerland: implementing the programme. During the last hundred years biodiversity has been promoted in the Grisons' forests by integrating it in a multifunctional approach to forestry and by designating particular priority areas. Nature conservation goals specified in the General Forest Management Plan, which was introduced in 1996, are today systematically weighed up against other functions the forest has to fulfil. This may reveal conflicts, for example, between the wish for the dynamics to remain as natural and undisturbed as possible and the goal to make use of the potential timber. On many occasions, however, the goals are in accord, e.g. managing protection forests and, at the same time, providing a habitat for the capercaillie. When setting biodiversity goals, there is a tension between regional and national interests. New goals defined on the national level cannot necessarily be adopted easily in regionally developed General Forest Management Plans.Keywordsforest biodiversity, multifunctional silviculture, conflict, concordance |

Erholung im Wald: Erwartungen und Zufriedenheit, Verhalten und Konflikte.Der multifunktionale Wald - Konflikte und Lösungen. Forum für Wissen. 2011: 43-51.
AbstractRecreation in the forest: expectations and satisfaction, behaviour and conflicts. From a societal perspective the recreational function of the forest is very important since the public increasingly perceive the forest as attractive for recreation. This development also, represents a great challenge for forest-recreation management in Switzerland. Since visitor numbers have been rising and recreational activities becoming increasingly diverse, conflicts of interests have become topical issues in forest management. Research on the recreational use of forests in Switzerland indicates, for example, that 27?% of forest visitors feel disturbed by other visitors or their activities. Thus conflicts arise because of different interests, e.g. recreation vs. nature protection, or because people disturb each other with their various recreation activities and motives. Potentially appropriate intervention measures for reducing such conflicts are presented and evaluated on the basis of two examples, and, recommendationsKeywordsmotives, preferences, health, interventions, social sciences, wildlife, leisure activities |

Nutzungsansprüche und Zielkonflikte im Wald der Stadt Zürich.Der multifunktionale Wald - Konflikte und Lösungen. Forum für Wissen. 2011: 53-58.
AbstractUsing the City of Zurich's Forest: claims and conflicting aims. Land is the commodity in shortest supply in Zurich, as all those with political responsibilities here now realise. Dealing with competing interests and conflicting aims is part of our daily business, and thus one of the main concerns of the managers of Grün Stadt Zürich (Green City). Demands on the green spaces are enormous, and increasing, with the pressure in effect twice as high due to the shrinking area of green space. Around 600 permits per year are issued just for festivals and special events in green spaces. If we were to fulfil all requests, there would be many more. The forest is also increasingly coveted, but at least its size is kept constant, unlike that of other green spaces. Thanks to Switzerlands strict Forest Law, it is the best protected recreation area. In addition to new demands on the forest, particularly for sport activities, the old conflicting interests are still present (forest/game, recreation/natural area and compaKeywordsGrün Stadt Zürich, Grünbuch, forest development plan, integral planning, effectivness-oriented action, claims on utilization, conflicts of aims |
