对当代森林管理的各种需求要求更多地考虑文化生态系统服务。在这种情况下，了解人们如何看待森林要素可以为公园管理人员提供有价值的信息。在目前的研究中，已经探讨了游客的感知，但将这些元素与价值观联系起来的研究仍然有限。这项研究重新审视了人们对自然枯木和砍伐木材的看法。我们重新审视了学者的假设，即自然死亡和砍伐木材之间的区别对日本人来说相对较弱，并进一步研究了任何这种区别的价值。为了验证所提出的假设，我们探讨了自然死亡和砍伐木材的景观价值观。在一个案例研究的游客，日本爱知县的海正森林，我们进行了问卷调查，其中包括照片评价方法。我们进行了卡方检验和聚类分析。基于图像关联值的聚类分析将自然枯死和明显切割的木材分为两个明显的类。本研究进一步揭示了木材的聚类隶属度依赖于人为干预的程度。自然枯木和过度生长的人为诱导树干从矮林与相对较小的人为干预的照片与自然，精神和美学价值。相比之下，第二类砍伐木材中的木柴与教育和生产价值有关。卡方检验的另一个结果表明，女性倾向于比男性更重视森林和森林中杂草丛生的树干。
Diverse demands for contemporary forest management require greater consideration to cultural ecosystem services. Given the circumstances, understanding how forest elements are perceived can provide valuable information for park managers. Perceptions of visitors have been explored in current studies but research linking these elements with values remains limited. This study revisited perceptions of naturally dead wood compared to cut wood. We reexamined the scholary hypothesis that distinctions between naturally dead and cut wood are comparatively weak for Japanese people and further examined the values attached to any such distinctions. To test the suggested hypothesis, we explored landscape value perceptions of naturally dead and cut wood. In a case study of visitors to Kaisho Forest, Aichi, Japan, we administered a questionnaire that included a photograph evaluation approach. We performed a chi-square test and cluster analysis. The cluster analysis based on associated values from the images identified the naturally dead and obvious cut wood belong to two distinctive clusters. This study further revealed that cluster membership of cut wood depends on the degree of human intervention. Photographs of naturally dead wood and an overgrown humanly induced trunk from coppicing with relatively minor human intervention were associated with natural, spiritual, and aesthetic values. In contrast, fire wood - in the second cluster of cut wood - was associated with educational and productive values. An additional outcome of the chi-square test showed that women tended to assign more therapeutic values to forests and overgrown trunks in the forest than men.
