National Forest Inventories (NFIs) hold promise for monitoring and valuing of non-productive forest functions, including social and recreational services. European countries use a range of methods to collect social and recreational information within their NFI methodologies. Data collected frequently included general and recreation-specific infrastructure, but innovative approaches are also used to monitor recreational use and social abuse. Social and recreational indicators are increasingly valued in efforts to measure the non-productive value of forests in Europe. National Forest Inventories (NFIs) can be used to estimate recreational and social usage of forest land at a national level and relate this use to other biophysical, spatial and topographical features. Nonetheless, there is little information concerning the extent. The study aims to identify the coverage of social and recreational data present in European NFIs including the types of data recorded as part of the NFI methodologies across European countries. It also aims to examine contrasting methods used to record social and recreational data and present recommendations for ways forward for countries to integrate these into NFI practice. A pan-European questionnaire was designed and distributed to 35 counties as part of the EU-funded project Distributed, Integrated and Harmonised Forest Information for Bioeconomy Outlooks (DIABOLO). The questionnaire probed countries on all social and recreational data that was included within NFIs. Qualitative response data was analysed and recoded to measure the extent of social and recreational data recoded in European NFIs both as a function of the number of variable categories per country and the number of countries recording particular variables. Thirty-one countries reported at least one social or recreational variable over 12 categories of data. The most frequently recorded variables included ownership, general transport infrastructure and recreation-specific infrastructure. Countries collecting data over many different categories included Switzerland, Great Britain, Czech Republic, Luxemburg and Denmark. The study proposes a specific set of indicators, based upon countries with well-developed social and recreational data in their NFIs, which could be used by other countries, and report on the extent to which these are currently collected across Europe. It discusses results and makes a series of recommendations concerning priorities for the inclusion of social and recreational data in European NFIs.

协调、改进和使用欧洲国家森林清单中的社会和娱乐数据

国家森林清单 (NFI) 有望监测和评估非生产性森林功能，包括社会和娱乐服务。欧洲国家使用一系列方法在其 NFI 方法中收集社会和娱乐信息。收集的数据经常包括一般的和特定于娱乐的基础设施，但也使用创新方法来监控娱乐用途和社会虐待。在衡量欧洲森林的非生产价值方面，社会和娱乐指标越来越受到重视。国家森林清单 (NFI) 可用于估算国家级林地的娱乐和社会用途，并将这种用途与其他生物物理、空间和地形特征联系起来。尽管如此，关于范围的信息很少。该研究旨在确定欧洲 NFI 中存在的社会和娱乐数据的覆盖范围，包括作为欧洲国家 NFI 方法的一部分记录的数据类型。它还旨在研究用于记录社会和娱乐数据的对比方法，并为各国将这些方法纳入 NFI 实践提出建议。作为欧盟资助的生物经济展望分布式、综合和协调森林信息项目 (DIABOLO) 的一部分，设计了一份泛欧问卷并将其分发给 35 个县。问卷调查了国家金融机构中包含的所有社会和娱乐数据。对定性响应数据进行了分析和重新编码，以衡量欧洲 NFI 中记录的社会和娱乐数据的范围，作为每个国家的变量类别数量和记录特定变量的国家数量的函数。31 个国家在 12 类数据中报告了至少一种社会或娱乐变量。最常记录的变量包括所有权、一般交通基础设施和娱乐专用基础设施。收集不同类别数据的国家包括瑞士、英国、捷克共和国、卢森堡和丹麦。该研究提出了一套特定的指标，这些指标基于在其 NFI 中拥有完善的社会和娱乐数据的国家，可供其他国家使用，并报告目前在整个欧洲收集这些信息的程度。它讨论了结果并就将社会和娱乐数据纳入欧洲 NFI 的优先事项提出了一系列建议。
