Ida Wallin

Doctoral student within forest management & planning

Research:

My research studies are conducted within the EU funded project called INTEGRAL – Future-oriented integrated management of European forest landscapes. The INTEGRAL project duration is 1/11/2011-1/11/2015 and the Department of Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre is especially responsible for the Southern Swedish case study of Helgeå. The Helgeå case study focuses on issues regarding water quality and non-industrial private forest ownership and since the spring 2014 I am responsible for the case study investigations. My research activities within the INTEGRAL project has mainly concerned the Swedish investigations and especially then the Helgeå case study were all analysis were completed and reported by the end of March 2015. During the project the following research activities have been executed:

• Interviews of stakeholders about present and historical forest management practices and their perception of Swedish forest policy both with regard to their own forest holdings and to the forest sector in general.
• Participatory scenario development workshops with smaller groups of local stakeholders.
• Policy-backcasting workshops with local and national stakeholders.
• Communication and dissemination of research results at conferences and seminars.
• The finalization of the INTEGRAL project in the end of 2015 mean that the present focus is on dissemination of final results to national and local stakeholders, including the people involved in the different research activities such as interviewees.

During the period May-December 2015 I will be a visiting scholar at the Chair of Forest and Environmental Policy at the University of Freiburg, Germany. One of my tasks will be to work on a publication within the COST Action FP1207 - ORCHESTRA.
