Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)
'The vital environmental and socio-economic role of European forests is well documented and acknowledged in policy documents of both the European Union and its member states. However, there are critical incoherencies within and between trans-national, national and local forest-related land use policies, the central issue being mismatches between the policies and their implementation at the landscape level. Hence, there is a need to improve existing policy and management approaches capable of delivering a better balance between multiple and conflicting demands for forest goods and services. Diminishing mismatches and providing a new policy and management approach that is sensitive to ecological, socioeconomic and political issues of are the main objectives of INTEGRAL. The objectives are achieved by following a research approach with 3 phases: diagnostic analysis of the status-quo (phase 1), participatory development and evaluation of scenarios (phase 2), and problem-solving oriented back-casting for policy development and evaluation (phase 3). The research design will be applied in a total of 20 landscapes in 10 European countries that differ in key characteristics, such as ownership, the importance of forestry and forest-based industries and the priorities of allocation and management of new and existing forest lands. The involvement of national and local stakeholder groups all the way through the project plays a decisive role in the project. The most important long term impact of INTEGRAL consists of the knowledge and competence base for integrating international, national and local levels in participatory decision and planning processes. This includes the development of manuals for how to conduct such processes, methods for utilizing quantitative decision support tools in the participatory process, and the establishment of a body of knowledge among those participating in the extensive case studies. Thus, the consistency of implemented forest policies can be enhanced.'
Introduzione (Teaser)
European land-use researchers are conducting case studies in various European forests to improve EU policy on the use of these important ecological resources.
Descrizione progetto (Article)
Forests play a crucial role in the environment, economy and society. Despite this, there is a no coherent policy in place for proper management of forest resources across Europe.
The EU-funded 'Future-oriented integrated management of European forest landscapes' (http://www.integral-project.eu/ (INTEGRAL)) project will develop a new policy and management approach that is sensitive to ecological, socioeconomic and political issues. A total of 20 case studies in 10 European countries will inform this process.
Researchers have assessed the biophysical aspects of the case study landscapes, as well as the main ecosystem goods and services they provide. They also set up decision-support systems (DSSs) in the areas and are collecting data by means of interviews and database research.
This data has been collated in an online wiki. Using the data in conjunction with the DSSs, more than 80 comparable scenarios have been described for EU forests over the next 30 years.
The team's research approach is based on a theoretical and methodological framework developed during the project. This framework has been formalised into a handbook, which will be important for supporting cross-country analyses to enhance the understanding of policy formation.
Finally, INTEGRAL is training a number of participants in backcasting methods. Trainees will use these skills to validate the scenarios created during the project.
INTEGRAL's most valuable contribution will be the knowledge base it is creating for integrating international, national and local levels of decision making and planning. The work will also boost the transfer of knowledge to partners lacking experience in long-term landscape-level management analysis.
