Dear colleagues,
I am happy to inform you the call for abstracts of our mid-term meeting
in Freiburg.
Mid-term Meeting of IUFRO RG3.03.00
Session No.154 "Sustainable and Constructive Strategy of Ergonomic
Research in Forestry" in the IUFRO 125th Anniversary Congress, Freiburg,
Germany: 19-22 September, 2017
Deadline for Submissions: 30 November 2016.
RG3.03.00 invites submissions of abstracts for oral and poster
presentations for our session.
Please submit from (http://iufro2017.com/call-for-abstracts/)
The future role of ergonomic research increases its importance under
current global forest and forestry conditions. The need of forest
ergonomic solutions is obviously visible in the topics of: work
accidents, physical or psychological burdens, machine operation
techniques, occupational health, forestry labor, aging, training and
education, decision making, management sense, social roles, care for
environment, and so on. In contrary, numbers of the ergonomic
researchers in forestry have decreased. This problem could be triggered
by the fact that forest ergonomic education has been implemented
insufficiently. Only few universities or colleges that majoring in
forest and forestry provide lecture (and laboratory) discussing forest
ergonomics. In this mid-term meeting, we will mainly discuss to how to
foster future ergonomic researchers, and propose publishing a world
standard forest ergonomic textbook for world forest ergonomic education.
Secondly, we will discuss strategy to reduce working accidents from
forest and forestry operations as a world critical problem.

The world today is undergoing rapid socio-economic and technological changes, which have implications for the forest and environment sector, in turn affecting the ecological, economic and social well being of the people. The forestry sector must keep pace and adapt to these changes. The "Commonwealth" refers to the Commonwealth of Nations, an association of 53 sovereign nations that works together to achieve international goals such as Peace, Democracy and Consensus-building, Law, Human Rights and Development, Environmentally Sustainable Economic Development with greater trust and mutual understanding. Environment and forests are global resources and need to be focused upon by the global fraternity due to the pressures they are under as a result of the alarming growth in the human population, pressures that are being exacerbated by climate and environmental change. The year 2017 will be a key occasion for forestry professionals, academicians and all those interested in and associated with forestry sector in the Commonwealth; they will gather and share their experiences with a view to learn and develop a vision for the future that will involve inclusive and sustainable growth and development. The commonwealth forestry conferences have been held since 1920, when the first (Empire) Forestry Conference was held in London. Since then, the conferences have been held regularly to discuss various aspects of management of forests and focus the action on the changing priorities of the forestry sector.
The 19th Commonwealth Forestry Conference is scheduled to be held at Forest Research Institute, Dehradun, India from 3rd to 7th April, 2017. The ICFRE and FRI will be the Focal point of the conference, with support from MOEF & CC, Government of India and Commonwealth Forestry Association. The major theme of the conference will be: "Forests for Prosperity and Posterity"
Abstract submission
Abstract submission will be open until 7 November 2016, at <http://www.cfc2017.in/call-for-papers/> http://www.cfc2017.in/call-for-papers/, containing detailed instructions on how to proceed. The sub-themes are:

Dear friend Vladan
Thanks of your announcement.
Well, I submitted a paper about afforestation and saved to IUFRO websites (attachment file). Unfortunately, I could not find sub-division 121 on dicision 3, So, I put the abstract for division 5. I wish should not be mistakes.
Best regards
Mohammad

IUFRO 3.08 Small-scale Forestry Research group News
Dear friends, dear colleagues,
Looking back to a productive, interesting and very nice meeting in Brazil and Argentina I’m glad to be now in the position to announce the next upcoming event(s) of our group.
Next year is going to be the 125th anniversary of IUFRO. This important event will be celebrated with an “anniversary congress” held in Freiburg, Germany. You all can easily find information about this exciting event on the congress webpage.
Web: <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__iufro2017.com_&d=DQMFAw…> http://iufro2017.com/
As many other groups we have decided not to compete with this event, in order to avoid that people have to decide between our group meeting and the anniversary congress.
As you might know, our group frequently tends to be somehow different. In this case, this means that we decided to provide the opportunity to discuss our research field a little bit more intensely. As a means to achieve this goal, two additional small-scale forestry days will be organized right before the meeting. We are calling it “IUFRO125a/3.08 Side-event”.
In detail this means that we will offer a “hiking excursion” on Sunday, Sep. 17th 2017. On Monday 18th 2017, one additional day for presentations will be organized by and at the Forest Research Institute Baden-Württemberg (Dept. of Forest economics) here in Freiburg.
Together with a couple of 125a congress-sessions, which will touch small-scale forestry issues as well, we hope to provide enough space to discuss our field of interest in detail.
This setting allows in addition, that papers, which cannot be considered inside the 125 a conference, can find a place to be presented inside our group - and in this case with even more time for presentation and discussion.
As a first step to start our 2017 3.08 conference procedure I highly encourage you all to make submissions to the two sessions, which will be organized by the 3.08 group. Brett Butler is organizing session 151 (History, Findings, and Future Directions of Forest Landowner Research). I’m glad to offer session 149 (Synergies and Conflicts in the Provision of Ecosystem Services by Small - scale Forest Owners). Both sessions are described in more details below.
Please keep in mind that submissions must be made over the conference website:
<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__iufro2017.com_call-2Dfo…> http://iufro2017.com/call-for-abstracts/
The deadline for abstracts is Nov. 30th 2016!!!
Brett and I are looking forward to seeing your abstracts.
An open call for abstracts for the IUFRO125a/3.08 side-event will be launched in January, when decisions about the abstracts of the 125a Conference have been made.
At the same time we will provide more information about the side-event.

Session description
The fate of the forests lies largely in the hands of those who own it and consequently forest owners are critical component of “Interconnecting Forests, Science and People.” Operating within political, social, economic, and biophysical constraints, forest owners are the ones who decide if and how forests will be managed and what will be produced. Private owners dominate many forested landscape across much of the world. According to the FAO’s 2015 Global Forest Resources Assessment, private forest owners control nearly 70 million hectares of forestland around the globe and account for well over 50% of the forestland in many countries in Europe and North and South America. The largest areas of private forestland are in the USA, Brazil, China, Colombia, Papua New Guinea, Australia, Canada, Sweden, Mexico, Finland, and Japan. Within this category of private forest owners, family forest owners, also known as nonindustrial private forest owners, are dominant. Surveys are the most common research tool used for understanding the attitudes, behaviors, and demographics of family forest owners. Most landowner surveys are focused on narrow topics for owners in limited geographic areas, but a handful of projects have been established that look at forest owners across broad areas and for extended periods of times, such as the U.S. Forest Service’s National Woodland Owner Survey, the “accountancy networks” of Germany and Austria, and the periodic landowner surveys in Finland, Sweden, and Japan. This session will provide an opportunity for discussing the history, synthesizing the current state, and charting a path forward for forestland owner research.
149 Synergies and Conflicts in the Provision of Ecosystem Services by Small - scale Forest Owners

Session description
Privately owned forests play a substantial role all over the world.
Regionally, they are the prevalent ownership type. Thus, the provision of all kind of ecosystem services (ESS) can- not work without the contribution of private and communal forest owners. Depending on the demand and intensity of the use of ecosystem services on one hand and the set of objectives and biophysical preconditions on the other, the relationship between ESS and owner rights or objectives can differ widely. Where the access and the use of forests is limited, the preconditions for production of income or limitation of impact for instance, are much better than in case of free access rights and a societal widely accepted and expected use of forest for recreational and conservation purposes. The session wants to contribute to this ongoing and intensifying debate and will focus on the question, which preconditions and political settings can contribute to a fair balance of interest between owner’s rights and social obligation of property in different parts of the world. Additionally, the chances and requirements for private forest owners to draw benefits from the provision of various types of ESS will be highlighted. Consequently, contributions from densely populated parts of the world will be prevalent, but views on the situation from other regions, in which this debate might be at an earlier stage, are welcome. As a fair balance requires a sound evaluation of the monetary impact or contribution of ecosystem services to the forest owner’s household income or community forest budget, contributions to the methodology and results of the assessment of monetary consequences are seen as valuable input on the discussion as well.
