Abstract: Upravljanje mestnih gozdov terja intenzivnejšo participacijo in uveljavljanje dodatnih metod za vključevanje javnosti v soodločanje o rabi gozdov. V okviru projekta URBforDAN smo s spletno anketo (n=1134) zbrali podatke o uporabnikih mestnega gozda Golovec. Preverjali smo njihovo oddaljenost od Golovca, način prihoda, pogostost in trajanje obiska, najpogostejšo točko vstopa v gozd ter želje o dodatni infrastrukturi. Glede na razlog obiska smo anketirance združevali v skupine in nadaljnje analize izvedli po skupinah uporabnikov (naštete po številčnosti: gorski kolesarji, pohodniki, družine, tekači, kolesarji, sprehajalci domačih živali in drugi). Ugotovili smo, da skoraj 60 % anketirancev obišče Golovec vsaj enkrat na teden, najpogosteje obisk traja 1 do 2 uri. Do gozda večina anketirancev pride peš ali s kolesom, več kot četrtina anketirancev se pripelje z avtomobilom. Največ anketirancev vstopi na Golovec na zahodnem delu (vstopna točka Center Hradeckega). Skupine uporabnikov vstopajo na Golovec različno: na Poligonu Rudnik, bolj odročnem delu Golovca, vstopa največ gorskih kolesarjev, v Štepanjskem naselju največ družin. Skupine uporabnikov se razlikujejo tudi po načinu prihoda v gozd: raba avtomobila in javnega potniškega prometa je najpogostejša pri družinah. Razlike med skupinami so tudi v pričakovanjih do gozda in želeni dodatni infrastrukturi. Rezultati ankete so podlaga za načrtovanje infrastrukture, usmerjanje uporabnikov in urejanje vstopnih točk na Golovec in so bili vključeni v Strateški in Operativni načrt za mestni gozd Golovec.

Abstract: In the last few decades, an increasing number and intensity of bark beetle outbreaks have plagued the forests of Europe and North America. Bark beetle management is directly related to forest owner characteristics, although this relationship is not well understood. The purpose of the study was to investigate the influence of forest owner characteristics on the amount and timing of sanitary felling under different disturbance regimes and quantities of Norway spruce. We combined different databases on sanitary felling, the timing of sanitary felling, and forest owner characteristics for Slovenia from 2014 to 2018 and analyzed the amount and timing of sanitary felling in relation to forest owner characteristics. We found that the timing in winter and the amount of sanitary felling were positively associated with the distance of the owner%s residence to the forest parcel. Larger parcels were more affected by bark beetles but did not have later timing of cutting in the summer period as was hypothesized. The timing of sanitary felling decreased with property size, while with the probability of sanitary felling, the effect of property depended on the ice storm and the amount of spruce. The size of the settlement, the permanent address of the private owner, and timing of sanitary felling were positively associated but also depended on the amount of spruce. Gender and age did not have an important influence on the amount and timing of sanitary felling. Forest owners are an important factor in effective bark beetle management. This study highlights the private forest ownership characteristics that should be emphasized in order to fight bark beetle outbreaks in the event of large-scale disturbances. Governments should support forest owners who are at greater risk of bark beetle outbreaks and less efficient in managing outbreaks. Furthermore, landowner characteristics should be included when forecasting bark beetle outbreaks.

Abstract: Regular physical activity (PA) reduces the health risk of childhood obesity and associated chronic diseases as well as mental health problems. Since PA declines as children age as well with future generations it is of highest importance to intervene in school and out-of-school settings. Out-of-school periods affect children's PA as it is mainly left to the interest and motivation of their parents. We compared accelerometer-based PA patterns in 93 6- to 9-year old children assessed four times: before (May/June), during (August), and after (September) summer holidays and at a 1-year follow up (May/June). Before summer holidays children were assessed also for anthropometry and motor tests. During summer holidays overall PA decreased by 18% (p < 0.001), physical inactivity increased by 5.5% (p < 0.001), moderate PA decreased by 53% (p < 0.001) and moderate to vigorous PA decreased by 45% (p < 0.001) when compared to before summer holidays. Furthermore, overall PA remained diminished also after summer holidays by 8.8% (p = 0.001) but recovered to baseline values at 1-year follow up. About 30% of overall PA and moderate to vigorous PA decrease during summer holidays could be explained by children's fitness level as a greater decrease was found in children with better results in standing long jump and 300-meter running time. Our finding detects an alarming summer holiday decrease in children PA that should not be neglected in future studies and intervention designs.
