- W61955644 abstract "Summary Aims Tasmania’s wet Eucalypt forests are currently harvested by a clearfell, burn and sow system. Clearfelling is considered by the forestry industry to be a safe and efficient way to extract timber, but it concerns many people. This research aimed to find out whether alternative harvest systems that retain some trees on felled areas would be more or less acceptable to the community than clearfelling. Within this aim, we sought to find out whether information about the consequences of harvesting had any effect on acceptability judgements. A second aim was to investigate some of the underlying bases for differences of view about clearfelling in Tasmanian society, in particular people’s values in relation to the natural environment and their beliefs about clearfelling. Methods The project used computer-simulated pictures of forests to show different forest management systems superimposed on the same patch of forest. Harvest systems shown included clearfelling, selective logging, aggregated retention and dispersed retention systems similar to those being trialled by Forestry Tasmania at the Warra Long Term Ecological Research site. A small side study investigated a wider range of systems which included a no-harvest option and conversion to bluegum plantation. To understand the underlying factors beneath people’s views about clearfelling and the other harvest systems, the research drew on psychological theories that relate people’s deeply held values to their attitudes to management of the environment. A questionnaire was developed to measure peoples’ values, beliefs about consequences and acceptance of the harvest systems. The questionnaire measured three kinds of social values for the natural environment. Use values relate to the value that humans directly extract from natural areas such as timber. Intrinsic value involves valuing aspect of the natural environment for it’s own sake, rather than for any human benefit. Non-use value includes benefits to humans from not using natural areas, which includes the ecosystem services thought to be provided by forests, such as clean air. The early phases of the project focussed on development of the computer simulations, information about the consequences of harvesting and the questionnaire. These research tools were tested several times with small groups of participants to ensure that they were valid and would result in meaningful data. For the main part of the study we surveyed about 550 people in groups. We found participants by inviting a wide range of organizations to come to group sessions. These organizations ranged from environmental groups to all kinds of clubs and societies to forest industry organizations. The groups that agreed to participate were shown the simulated pictures on an 8 metre wide screen, to maximise their sense of being in the forest. These participants filled in the questionnaire as they viewed the pictures. About half the participants also viewed information about the consequences of harvesting for a wide range of outcomes including fauna, forest products and other forest values." @default.
