Influence of human–forest relationships on perceived happiness in Finland
Open AccessSyamili Manoj Santhi, Tuomo Takala et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2025
The social functions of forest resources must be acknowledged for effective forest management, given the environmental challenges facing humanity. The current study assessed the dimensions of human–forest relationships that influence perceived happiness of people. We focused on Finland, where an industrialised forest‐based market economy coexists with a widespread cultural appreciation of forests. We conducted a web‐based national questionnaire s…

Using a location-based game to collect preference information for urban and rural forest planning
Open AccessPhilip Chambers, P L Chambers et al.ARTICLELandscape and Urban Planning2024
Collecting human-centred data for forest planning is resource-intensive and costly. • Location-based games like geocaching can be utilised in data collection. • Geocaches closer to urban areas have more visits and higher survey response rates. • Setting up shorter, accessible, circular trails improves data collection. • Geocaches collect the most responses in the first summer after establishment. Location-based games provide an opportunity to col…
Is a sustainability transition possible within the decision-support services provided to Finnish forest owners
Open AccessTuomo Takala, Minna Tanskanen et al.ARTICLEForest Policy and Economics2023Cited by: 3References: 8
North-European decision-support service providers have been advised to look beyond wood production to respond to the diverse needs of forest owners, to maximise business opportunities and to fulfil the pluralist goals of society. However, change in the service sector has remained limited to date. Here, we applied a mixed-method critical discourse analysis to examine whether the discourses produced by Finnish forest owners (n=12) and consulting pr…
Discursive barriers to voluntary biodiversity conservation
Open AccessTuomo Takala, Maria Brockhaus et al.ARTICLEForest Policy and Economics2022Cited by: 6References: 5
In many parts of the world, the success of biodiversity conservation strongly depends on the decisions of private landowners. These decisions are guided by the shared perceptions of the biodiversity problem. In this study, we applied a mixed method critical discourse analysis and examined how alternative discourses of biodiversity guide Finnish forest owners to maintain, or not maintain, biodiversity on their lands. Data collection combined a pre…
Forest owners as political actors
Open AccessTuomo Takala, Ari Lehtinen et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Science & Policy2021Cited by: 2References: 21
Conflicting interests make forests an inevitably political issue. We examine the political roles that Finnish forest owners take as decision-makers and citizens. Inspired by post-political theories of democracy, we examine forest owners’ aim of open, constructive treatment of the controversies between views, ideologies and actors. Our data consisted of a survey (n = 452) informed by an interview (n = 24). We applied a mixed-method critical discou…
