SUMMARY: This paper presents results of research project “Defining of values and possibilities
of use for non-wood forests’ products and services financed by Croatian forests ltd.
and executed by Croatian Forest Research Institute in cooperation with Forest District Karlovac
(2005–2010). Non-wood forests´ products were defined as group of forest fruits and
mushrooms, and services as group of social forests’ services (recreation and landscape).


Method chosen for analysis and interpretation of results from two different investigations
was triangulation (Denzin and Lincoln 1998 i 2003). First investigation was done with population
of Peters´ mountain (2007–2008) using face-to-face interviews (table 4), and second
using questionnaire send by mail to citizens of Karlovac (table 5) as users of forest services
(2009–2010).This method allowed us to put results from different investigations into relation
with aim to get better picture and understanding of investigated phenomenon. In addition the
data on forest suitability for providing forest services were collected too. Those data were used
for defining forest suitability for providing recreational and landscape services to users.


Results show high level of correlation between attitudes of two different groups of respondents,
and significant recognition of importance of ecological, recreational and landscape
forests´ services (figure 1). Another finding is that both groups of respondents very often and
gladly visits forest, mostly for purpose of rest and recreation, but also for health reasons
(table 7 and 9) (Vuletić et al 2009). During their visits to forest they often almost regularly
collect forest fruits, and they recognized this activity as very important for them (table 8).


They are also equally satisfied with state of forests. However, the level of respondents’ satisfaction
decreased with increased level of education. Contrary level of satisfaction is low
when it is about state and maintenance of recreational infrastructure in forests. Especially
they missed adopted infrastructure for disabled people. The forests´ suitability for providing
recreational and landscape services is for almost whole area of Peters´ mountain excellent
and very good (table 6) and we see this as a clear sign of huge potential for developing recreational
activities and for use in marketing of whole recreational area. Also this could be
used to facilitate private entrepreneurship development based on use of forests’ non-wood
products for which the both groups of respondents recognized the potential. The local population
expresses also interest to start private entrepreneurship where those which owned they
forests were more interested in it. Peters´ mountain with the recreational center “Muljava”
with numerous of visitors (table 1) presents huge potential for developing recreational activities
based on collection of non-wood forests´ products which will motivate their visitors to
prolong their stay in forests. The existing common interest for non-wood forest products and
fruits should be used and connected through possibility to sell collected fruits to some of local
collectors, which could boost the private entrepreneurship in these poorly developed areas
with almost non additional investments.


Although, for getting the whole picture of investigated phenomenon additional research
should be planned and executed giving the special attention to concrete visitors of forests
and this recreational area and in second hand to private entrepreneurs to find out what are
the critical factors which can initiate or foster those activities.
