ABSTRACT The share of women among forest owners is growing in the traditionally masculine family forest sector. The present study continues the research on women who own forest in the Nordic setting. The focus is on the behaviour and role of rural female forest owners in Finland, as well as on the benefits of peer learning when building self-efficacy as a forest owner. The qualitative data consist of interviews with female forest owners, peer-learning group observations and feedback. The studied female forest owners who participated in the peer-learning group focused on silvicultural actions on the home farm. These women were eager to learn, but uncertain about their experience and capabilities as forest owners, which reduced their confidence to participate in forest-related discussions outside the home farm. The responsibility and decision-making power regarding the forest property is, in many cases, given to the husband. Within the studied group, the desired aim of learning seems to be the same silvicultural and timber production-oriented knowledge as held by male forest owners. In order to create new ideas and even business opportunities, the facilitator of peer-learning group plays an important role in encouraging participants to take part in more diverse discussions.

在家庭林业中实现性别平等：与其他女性森林所有者一起建立自我效能

摘要 在传统的男性家庭林业部门，森林所有者中女性的比例正在增加。本研究继续对北欧环境中拥有森林的妇女进行研究。重点是芬兰农村女性森林所有者的行为和作用，以及同伴学习在建立森林所有者自我效能时的好处。定性数据包括与女性森林所有者的访谈、同伴学习小组的观察和反馈。参加同伴学习小组的受研究女性森林所有者专注于家庭农场的造林活动。这些妇女渴望学习，但不确定自己作为森林所有者的经验和能力，这降低了她们在家庭农场以外参与森林相关讨论的信心。在许多情况下，有关森林财产的责任和决策权赋予丈夫。在所研究的群体中，预期的学习目标似乎与男性森林所有者拥有的以造林和木材生产为导向的知识相同。为了创造新的想法甚至商业机会，同伴学习小组的促进者在鼓励参与者参与更多样化的讨论方面发挥着重要作用。
