ABSTRACT Forest social values has been put forward as an umbrella term for a new and less material relationship between people and the forested landscape, a relationship that more recently has become a policy issue. In this case study we explore how forest-related values are conceptualised in the case of Dalasjö, in Vilhelmina, Sweden, where a recent process involving determining protection for social values took place in relation to, and simultaneous with, governmental considerations regarding the application of a social values concept. By means of focus group and key informant interviews, the study demonstrates that forest social values are not only about forest per se, or even the physical and user values per se. Further, the diverse but still general understanding of forest social values on a policy level is demonstrated. This stands in contrast to the specific and place-based understanding of the local community, emanating from both individual and collective experiences. Thus, it is concluded that a policy use of social values terms, which may be difficult to identify from the outside, makes the definition of values in specific land use conflicts more complex rather than offering a possibility to immediately provide clear basis for planning tools.

森林社会价值：瑞典达拉舍的案例

摘要 森林社会价值观已被提出作为人与森林景观之间一种新的、物质较少的关系的总称，这种关系最近已成为一个政策问题。在本案例研究中，我们探讨了如何在瑞典 Vilhelmina 的 Dalasjö 案例中将与森林相关的价值概念化，在该案例中，最近发生的涉及确定社会价值保护的过程与政府关于应用一个社会价值观概念。通过焦点小组和关键知情人访谈，该研究表明森林社会价值不仅与森林本身有关，甚至与物理价值和使用者价值本身有关。此外，还展示了在政策层面对森林社会价值的不同但仍然普遍的理解。这与源自个人和集体经验的对当地社区的特定和基于地方的理解形成鲜明对比。因此，得出的结论是，社会价值术语的政策使用可能难以从外部识别，使得特定土地使用冲突中的价值定义更加复杂，而不是提供立即为规划工具提供明确基础的可能性。
