Nonindustrial private forest (NIPF) landowners are a dominant forest landownership group in the south-eastern United States and play a crucial role in regular fuel management for effective landscape-level wildfire hazard reduction. However, little is known about their intentions to implement fuel reduction treatments in the future. This study estimated the likelihood that NIPF landowner will implement a fuel reduction treatment in the next 5 years using a binary logistic regression model. This likelihood was associated with landowner attitudes towards wildfires, forest landownership and socioeconomic characteristics, and forest location attributes. Approximately 30% of landowners were likely to implement a fuel reduction treatment and a majority were interested in treating pine plantations. Management of undesired vegetation, promotion of tree growth, wildlife habitat improvements and reduction of wildfire severity were primary motivations for implementing treatments. Past implementation of fuel reduction treatments, previous wildfire experiences, concern about wildfire-related property damage, familiarity with wildfire prevention programs, ecosystem service maintenance as an ownership objective, forest land area owned and implementation of fuel treatments by neighbouring landowners were positively associated with the likelihood of fuel reduction treatments. Findings will be helpful in developing more effective programs encouraging landowners to regularly treat hazardous fuels in their forests.

非工业私有林 (NIPF) 土地所有者是美国东南部占主导地位的森林土地所有权群体，在常规燃料管理以有效减少景观级野火危害方面发挥着至关重要的作用。然而，关于他们未来实施燃料减少处理的意图知之甚少。本研究使用二元逻辑回归模型估计了 NIPF 土地所有者在未来 5 年内实施燃料减少处理的可能性。这种可能性与土地所有者对野火的态度、林地所有权和社会经济特征以及森林位置属性有关。大约 30% 的土地所有者可能会实施燃料减少处理，并且大多数人对处理松树种植园感兴趣。管理不需要的植被，促进树木生长、改善野生动物栖息地和降低野火严重程度是实施治疗的主要动机。过去实施的燃料减少处理、以前的野火经历、对野火相关财产损失的担忧、对野火预防计划的熟悉、将生态系统服务维护作为所有权目标、拥有的林地面积和邻近土地所有者实施燃料处理与减少燃料处理的可能性。调查结果将有助于制定更有效的计划，鼓励土地所有者定期处理其森林中的危险燃料。以前的野火经历、对野火相关财产损失的担忧、对野火预防计划的熟悉、将生态系统服务维护作为所有权目标、拥有林地面积和邻近土地所有者实施燃料处理与减少燃料处理的可能性呈正相关。调查结果将有助于制定更有效的计划，鼓励土地所有者定期处理其森林中的危险燃料。以前的野火经历、对野火相关财产损失的担忧、对野火预防计划的熟悉、将生态系统服务维护作为所有权目标、拥有林地面积和邻近土地所有者实施燃料处理与减少燃料处理的可能性呈正相关。调查结果将有助于制定更有效的计划，鼓励土地所有者定期处理其森林中的危险燃料。
