Abstract

The aim of the study is to identify needed support for increasing the productivity of private forestry, focusing on the decision-making process in the case of women – private forestry owners in countries of the Danube region. The data used is from a survey in the frame of the project “Forest in Women’s Hands”. The methods applied are Regression Ordinary Least Squires (OLS) model and logistic regressions. Statistical correlations are measured to check the impact of some factors affecting female management decisions in turn to outline the needed support. The results, along with others, show that women involve friends, family members, and spouses in the forest to support them in decision-making, but the requested support is not directed explicitly to increasing productivity. The support provided by the forest associations and government institutions is not effective enough for forest utilisation and productivity. The conclusion that could be drawn is that the needed support is training the private female owners. On the other hand, the study identifies some differences between countries with prevailing private ownership and others.
