RESULTS OF A QUESTIONNAIRE ON SECONDARY FOREST PRODUCTS AND NON-WOOD FOREST PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

U ovom radu donose se rezultati ankete postavljene na internetskim stranicama "Hrvatskih šuma" d.o.o., Zagreb, kojom su ispitani stavovi i mišljenja korisnika ove stranice o sporednim šumskim proizvodima i ne drvo proizvodnim uslugama šuma. Anketa je oblikovana i postavljena na internetske stranice Direkcije "Hrvatskih šuma" d.o.o., Zagreb, krajem 2004. i početkom 2005. godine, te je bila otvorena za sve korisnike. Cilj ankete je bio ispitati stavove zaposlenika i drugih korisnika o značenju, sadašnjem korištenju i mogučnostima korištenja sporednih šumskih proizvoda i ostalih usluga šuma koje su radi lakšeg razumijevanja nazvane ne drvo proizvodnim. Ovdje se osobito misli na socijalne usluge šuma, kao što su rekreacijska, zdravstvena i turistička koje također kao i svi drugi proizvodi šuma mogu biti predmetom planiranja i gospodarenja u šumarstvu. Anketa se sastojala od ukupno 12 pitanja kojima je obrađen socijalni status ispitanika, te njihovi stavovi o izabranoj problematici. Pitanja su većinom nudila više odgovora od kojih je trebalo izabrati jedan ili više, te je kod nekih pitanja ostavljena i mogučnost dodatnog upisivanja odgovora koji nisu obuhvaćeni ponuđenima. Također je taj prostor bilo moguće koristiti za komentare o značaju i korištenju sporednih šumskih proizvoda. U vremenu od nekoliko mjeseci anketu je ispunilo nešto više od 300 korisnika te su sakupljeni vrijedni komentari. Prikupljeni podaci su analizirani prema dobnim skupinama, radnom mjestu te osnovnim regijama (kontinentalna, gorska i primorska). Osnovni zaključak upućuje na važnost sporednih šumskih proizvoda te jedan opći stav o njihovom slabom korištenju, kako u osobne svrhe tako i u vidu osiguranja dodatnih prihoda za Hrvatske šume d.o.o.This paper presents the results of a questionnaire given in the internet pages of Croatian Forests, Ltd., Zagreb, in which the views and opinions of the users of the page on secondary forest products and non-wood forest services are asked. The questionnaire was designed and introduced on the internet pages of the Directorate of Croatian Forests, Ltd., Zagreb at the end of 2004 and beginning of 2005, and was open to all users. The aim of the questionnaire was to find out the views of employees and other users on the importance, present use and possibilities of use of secondary forest products and other services of the forest, which for the purpose of easier understanding, are called non-wood productive. This refers particularly to social services of the forest, such as recreation, health and tourist benefits, which, like other forest products, can be the object of planning and management in the forestry. The questionnaire consisted of 12 questions, dealing with the social status of the examinees and their views on the relevant problems. In most cases the questions offered the possibility of several answers, of which one or more was needed, and for some questions there was the possibility of giving added comments which were not covered by the answers offered. Furthermore, it was possible to add comments on the significance and use of secondary forest products. During a period of several months the questionnaire was completed by slightly more than 300 users, and valuable comments were collected. The data collected were analysed according to age groups, workplaces and regions (continental, montane and coastal). The basic conclusion indicates the importance of secondary forest products and the general view of their poor utilisation, both for personal use and with regard to ensuring additional income for Croatian Forests, Ltd
