Dominant feature of private held forestsin Croatia are small property sizes wich are relatively scattered around. There are about 600.000 small private forest holders in Croatia. In average, every forest holder has two parcels which are not connected. According to foret management regulations there are no special rules for private forest holders despite some specific conditions. Therefore forest management plans are made in the same way as for state forests. In state forests there is constant and intensive forest management according to programs and regulations which are followed as good as possible. For private forest holders acoording to Starčević (1992) application of forest management regulations are very low partially because of subjective and partially because of objective reasons. Becuse of this forest planners appoint lower wood cutting intensity than normally required. Beside that, value of certain property depends on its size, position, spatial homogeneity, possibility of spatial indentification, road acess, tree species composition, management form and quality of trees and their size. Aditionally, property value is related to financial effect which can be obtained in certain time interval. So one of the questions which arise is how forest management plans influence eventual purcase/sales/exchange of forest parcels. Based on growth tables for hornbeam, acacia and alder (Meštrović & Fabijanić 1995) normal wood cutting intensity is defined for first and second quality class and 60 years age for hornbeam and 40 years for acacia. By analysing the wood cutting regulations for hornbeam, acacia and alder management classes from 16 different forest management plans a comparison was made with constructed normals to get the overview of the relationship between prescribed and normal cutting intensity. Analysis showed that cutting intensity specified in forest management plans for private forest holders are too low and incomplete and practically the same in almost all management units. It is the case with all management classes within certain management unit regardless of the management period. In discussion with colleagues which prescribed the management regulations for private forests it is clear that: a) when deciding about regulations they were ' negatively biased' by former regulation realization in those private forests which had existing forest management plans. In this way regulations are related to estimation what could be realized in reality and not what is the actual potential (and need) for certain forest parcel. b) in some parcels uneven age forest management (how these forest are managed) and normality are not clearly defined. If those facts are observed from the point of investor who is looking to increase its posession by purchasing additional parcels those low intensity regulations especially within management classes of trees with short management period is destimulating. In the end it is not clear how will the forest inspection respond in the case of unaccomplished forest regulations or what to do if someone that would like to purchase the forest parcel requires higher cutting intensity in order to make the purchase. |
