Contemporary approaches to studying family forests have identified distinct subgroups of landowners through segmentation analysis. Our study expands on this approach, incorporating the concept of place to provide a novel perspective on how the cognition and emotions that create place attachment and landowner concerns influence certain landowner behaviors. We specifically modeled legacy planning and future landowner ownership behavioral intentions/behaviors. A mail survey was administered to a statewide sample of Maine family forest landowners that measured place attachment and landowner concerns regarding biophysical and social conditions on their woodland. Results based on the 878 respondents (54.9% response rate) indicated place attachment and landowner concern are related to legacy planning, land ownership, and development behavioral intentions, and when considered in conjunction with segmentation analysis, it was found the majority of family forest landowners in the sample experienced strong place attachment and moderate levels of concern. Our study suggests that forest outreach, forest policies and additional family forest research should further consider and incorporate the intangibles of the landowner experience.

与家庭林地所有者行为有关的场所依恋和关注

通过细分分析，当代研究家庭森林的方法已经确定了不同的土地所有者亚组。我们的研究在此方法的基础上进行了扩展，并结合了场所的概念，从而提供了一种新颖的视角，探讨了造成场所依恋和土地所有者担忧的认知和情绪如何影响某些土地所有者的行为。我们专门为遗留规划和未来土地所有者所有权的行为意图/行为建模。对缅因州家庭森林地主的全州样本进行了邮件调查，该调查测量了地点依恋和土地所有者对林地生物物理和社会状况的关注。根据878位受访者（54.9％的回应率）得出的结果表明，地点依恋和对土地所有者的关注与遗产规划，土地所有权和发展行为意图有关，当与分割分析一起考虑时，发现样本中的大多数家庭林地所有者都经历了强烈的地点依恋和中等程度的关注。我们的研究表明，森林推广，森林政策和其他家庭森林研究应进一步考虑并纳入土地所有者经验中的无形资产。
