Gospodarenje šumama u Hrvatskoj je pretežito koncentrirano i usmjereno prema šumama u državnom vlasništvu, koje je stoga obilježeno stalnošću i dosljednošću planiranja i provedbe postupaka gospodarenja, te se provode načela...

The purpose of this paper was to determine the share of active and inactive forest owners in Croatia and to identify potential causes for underuse of wood resources and their most important predictors based on inactive forest owners sample. We interviewed 1007 randomly selected forest owners on Croatian territory with a telephone survey. Of the total sample, 60% of forest owners believe that they efficiently manage their forests while 40% are inactive (Table 1). In order to determine the most important reasons and causes for inactive forest owners not cutting more, additional questions were asked. They were provided by 19 statements describing possible reasons for underuse of wood resources. Then, on Likert’s scale from 1 (not important at all) to 5 (very important) they expressed their level of agreement with a particular statement (Table 2). The statements were condensed into three dimensions by explanatory factor analysis with eigenvalue approach. Factors were interpreted as: (1) factor of qualifications and knowledge constraints, (2) factor of passiveness and forest conservation and (3) factor of physical constraints (Table 2). Statistically acceptable model was established by confirmatory factor analysis approach (Figure 2). The pronounced processes of structural changes in forest ownership composition, as well as in socio-demographic and forest property characteristics, are evident across Europe consequently influencing the intensity of private forest management. Within the aforementioned, we used gender, age, education, working status, the distance between the forest and the place of residence, the size of the settlement and the knowledge of forest property boundary lines as independent variables for management constraining factors model construction (Figure 1). Socio-demographic and forest property characteristics have been modeled with the extracted management constraining factors by applying a Multiple Indicators Multiple Causes (MIMIC) model (Figure 3). MIMIC model revealed that gender, age, and lack of boundary lines knowledge were the most important predictors for management constraining factors (Table 4). The notable part of forest owners in Croatia do not manage their forests because of insufficient knowledge and qualifications.

Raznodobne jelovo-bukove šume u Republici Hrvatskoj zauzimaju oko 157 000 ha. Tijekom povijesti njima se upravljalo različitim načinima gospodarenja, od jednodobnog do prebornog gospodarenja. Kao rezultat povijesne integracije hrvatskog šumarstva u njemačku šumarsku školu i uz jedinstvene ekološke značajke dinarskog područja, primarno se primjenjuje preborni način gospodarenja. U današnje vrijeme zbog različitih biotskih i abiotskih utjecaja, većina bukovo-jelovih šuma u Hrvatskoj ima prijelaznu strukturu između jednodobne i one preborne. Strukturu karakterizira velika drvna zaliha, mali prirast, loša vitalnost, slaba obnova jele i sve veći udio obične bukve. Takav ogledni primjer je i stalna pokusna ploha koja se nalazi u sjevernom dinarskom području Hrvatske i kojom gospodare “Hrvatske šume” d.o.o. Zagreb, a ujedno je i predmet ovog istraživanja. Cilj članka jest istražiti različite modele određivanja sječa koji će usmjeriti šumu u stabilniju prebornu strukturu s optimalanim prirastom i s odgovarajućim volumnim udjelom jele. Ulazni podaci dobiveni su sukcesivnim mjerenjima na stalnoj pokusnoj plohi u bukovo-jelovoj sastojini. Simulator šumskih stabala i sastojina, MOSES version 3.0, testiran je na primjenjivost u lokalnim uvjetima i korišten je za projekciju budućeg gospodarenja. Četiri scenarija temeljena na različitim modelima izračuna sječe korištena su za simulaciju mogućih smjerova budućeg gospodarenja s naglaskom na ciljani volumni udio jele, prirodnu obnovu jele, uspostavu i održavanje preborne strukture. Svi scenariji predviđaju smanjenje volumena jele praćeno agresivnom regeneracijom obične bukve te djelomično postizanje preborne strukture. Krajnje strukture šumskih sastojina (nakon 110 godina) uspoređene su i rangirane na temelju sastojinskih i ekonomskih pokazatelja. S gledišta ekološke, šumsko-gospodarske i ekonomske održivosti, model izračuna sječe koji je temeljen na trenutnoj drvnoj zalihi i desetogodišnjem prirastu pokazao se kao najbolji među istraženim scenarijima.
