The relative importance of forest income to landowners has steadily declined, and contributes now only marginally to the household income of non-industrial forest owners. For many owners the contribution of other aspects of forestry has gained importance. This development will certainly have consequences for harvesting levels, investments in forestry and the timing of these activities. From a forest policy point of view this is may be worrying, but also for the forest industries that are dependent on a st able domestic supply of timber. This development, thus, calls for a thorough analysis of objective for ownership, variables affecting the engagement in forest related activities and possible means in order to counteract negative short- and long-run effect s from it. Previous Norwegian studies have been less concerned about the various motivations and objectives for owning a forest property, as is the case of for example Finnish analyses. There is also a lack, both nationally and internationally, of empir ical information about forest owners' risky environment and their reactions to it. For the Norwegian forestry there is a gap in the literature about forest owners' goals, objectives, risks sources and risk management strategies and how these affect the st ructure and forest investments. It looks like that earlier studies only partly have taken following important aspects today into account: - The forest owner's portfolio includes a range of activities (not only one or a few). - There is a wide range of pr eferences and behaviours among the forest owners. Then it seems likely that there will be differences between the owners in their perceptions of risk and in how they cope with risk and organize the operation of the forest. This project proposal aims to d irect all these topics within two parts.
