Sažetak

Forestry is an important source of income for forest owners and for employees in rural areas. The future of the people, who make a living in rural areas from forestry, will considerably depend on how individuals and institutions react in view of the changes, how forest owners and managers obtain new knowledge and put it into practice in forestry, and how institutions, especially forest administration, extension services, forest research or other institutions best deal with emerging changes. The new EU strategies for economic and social revival of rural areas included the diversification of economic activities, especially into tourism and leisure, the promotion of local products and new markets, the development of human resources and the support of national and international cooperation at the same time that promoted the participation of local stakeholders in the creation of rural employment. Forest Act from 2005 is the basic law that defines the key entites and their relationships with regard to forests and forestry in the Republic of Croatia. The principle of sustainable management of forest resources is obligatory for all entities dealing with forests and forest land. The private forest ownership in Croatia is highly fragmented. On average each owner holds two parcels which are not connected. The borders are not marked and in practice there is no certainty of ownership. Accessibility of private forests by forest roads is limited. The paper presents sociological forest functions and forest management goals among small-scale forest owners based on a sample of 350 owners in Croatia.
