了解非工业私有森林(NIPF)所有者如何获得和分享有关其财产管理的信息对政策制定者非常重要，但我们对这些信息如何在私有景观上流动以及在多大程度上流动的了解有限。这里描述的工作试图解决这一不足。具有封闭式问题的广泛管理的调查可能无法充分捕捉NIPF所有者社区内的信息流。本研究使用开放式问题对NIPF所有者群进行访谈，以确定所有者是否以及在多大程度上直接(通过对话或向咨询来源推荐)或间接(通过对管理层的观察)影响彼此。我们从密歇根州西上半岛NIPF物业业主的34次电话采访中获得了数据，并使用开放编码对数据进行了分析。我们采访的森林所有者中，大约有一半直接或间接受到其NIPF社区其他成员的影响。拥有森林的原因(如隐私、狩猎和自然娱乐以及经济)也影响了所有者的管理行为和目标。这种点对点的信息流(无论是直接的还是间接的)对于如何在NIPF所有者社区中分发管理和规划信息，以及这些社区在多大程度上服从合作或跨境计划以实现生态系统和景观规模目标具有重大影响。
Understanding how non-industrial private forest (NIPF) owners gain and share information regarding the management of their property is very important to policy makers, yet our knowledge regarding how and to what degree this information flows over privately owned landscapes is limited. The work described here seeks to address this shortfall. Widely administered surveys with close-ended questions may not adequately capture this information flow within NIPF owner communities. This study used open-ended questions in interviews of clusters of NIPF owners to determine whether and to what extent owners in-fluence each other directly (through conversations or referrals to sources of advice) or indirectly (through observation of management). We obtained data from thirty-four telephone interviews with owners of NIPF properties in the Western Upper Peninsula of Michigan, and analyzed the data using open coding. Roughly half of the forest owners we interviewed were influenced either directly or indirectly by other members of their NIPF communities. Reasons for owning forests (such as privacy, hunting and nature recreation, and economics) also influenced owners’ management behaviors and goals. This peer-to-peer flow of information (whether direct or indirect) has significant implications for how to distribute management and programmatic information throughout NIPF owner communities, and how amenable these communities may be to cooperative or cross-boundary programs to achieve ecosystem and landscapescale goals.
