森林为个人产生市场（例如木材）和非市场（例如野生动物）价值，多用途森林管理涉及在不同管理目标之间进行权衡。这项研究利用六个焦点小组的结果来了解公众如何看待这些权衡，并研究密歇根州中上半岛城市和农村群体之间的差异。结果揭示了农村、依赖木材的参与者和城市、非木材依赖的参与者对森林管理和森林内生态相互作用的熟悉程度之间的差异。结果支持这样一种观点，即依赖木材的农村社区成员非常关心市场和非市场森林产出的持续供应。城市、不依赖木材的社区居民对维持多种森林产出的担忧较温和，但对维持个人用途的娱乐机会表示强烈担忧。结果并不支持农村/城市观点按照人类中心-生物中心连续体的假设。
Forests generate market (e.g., timber) and nonmarket (e.g., wildlife) values to individuals, and multiple-use forest management involves making trade-offs between different management goals. This research uses results from six focus-groups to understand how the public perceives these trade-offs and examines differences between urban and rural groups in Michigan's Central Upper Peninsula. Results reveal differences between rural, timber-dependent and urban, non-timber-dependent participants' familiarity with forest management and ecological interactions within forests. Results support the idea that rural, timber-dependent community members are very concerned about the continued provision of both market and nonmarket forest outputs. Urban, non-timber-dependent community residents have milder concerns for sustaining multiple forest outputs but expressed strong concerns for maintaining recreational opportunities for personal uses. The results do not support the hypothesis that rural/urban views lie as expected along an anthropocentric–biocentric continuum.
