  • Integrating physical and social variables to enhance understanding of urban forestry key-indicators: Insights from a socio-cultural forest monitoring

    Urban Forestry and Urban Greening, 2026
    Urban forests are vital for enhancing urban life, as they provide environmental benefits and support human well-being. They contribute to cleaner air, cooler cities, and mental and physical health. Yet, despite their importance, little is known about how physical forest features and social perceptions interact to shape the attractiveness of these forests for recreation and well-being. This study addresses this gap by integrating ecological and social perspectives in the context of Switzerland. A nationwide survey (n=3,116) was conducted where respondents were asked to map the forest they visited most frequently and to evaluate their recreation experiences. These spatially explicit participatory GIS data were linked with detailed forest inventory information. Distinct statistical models were developed to explain five indicators of forest use and perception: Reported “Visit frequency”, “General visit satisfaction”, “Perceived visual attractiveness”, satisfaction with “Forest care and management”, and “Self-perceived well-being”. The results show that social and cultural variables explain outcomes far better than physical forest characteristics. The explanatory power of the models ranged from 13 to 40 percent, with forest meanings, especially personal connection to forests, emerging as the most important factor. Spatial patterns revealed distinct clusters of high and low values across Switzerland. In particular, differences corresponded with well-known language regions, highlighting the influence of cultural context. Physical access factors, e.g., distance to bus stops, were of little relevance. These findings highlight the decisive role of people’s perceptions, meanings, and cultural background in shaping forest-related experiences. They demonstrate that physical features alone cannot explain how forests are valued and used. By combining social and ecological data, this study offers a model for understanding urban forests that can be applied in other regions. It provides evidence that policy and planning must integrate cultural and social dimensions to improve management, enhance recreational value, and strengthen the role of urban forests in supporting well-being. • Integrates forest inventory data with detailed socio-cultural survey responses • Reveals distinct spatial clusters of key forest indicators via participatory mapping • Advances understanding of forest indicators for recreation and visual perception • Identifies forest meanings (e.g., personal connection) as significant across models • Facilitates informed decision-making in urban forest policy and management

    Urban Forestry and Urban Greening, 2026
    Urban and peri-urban forests play an increasingly important role in public health and recreation, particularly in the context of urbanization and demographic change. This study compares forest visit patterns across Switzerland, Baden-Württemberg, and Bavaria based on harmonized, large-scale survey data. We analyze visit frequency, motives, satisfaction, and perceived forest health through multilevel and Bayesian models. Results show that individual factors strongly shape satisfaction and visit frequency, while regional effects are minimal. Our findings highlight the need for user-centered forest management that considers diverse motives and especially the needs of younger and more frequent users in urbanizing contexts.
  • Changing mindsets towards renewable energy landscapes in Switzerland: Comparing stated preferences in 2018 and 2022
    Boris Salak, Marcel Hunziker
    Energy Research and Social Science, 2025
    Renewable energy transitions depend not only on technology, but also on the acceptance of the respective infrastructure placements in different landscapes. These issues are globally relevant, as many countries face tensions between renewable energy infrastructure (REI) expansion and the cultural meanings attached to affected landscapes. This study examines how the general Swiss public evaluates REI in different landscape types in Switzerland, and how the evaluations evolved over time, in particular with respect to ecological and geopolitical disruptions of recent times. To this end, we compared two nationally representative surveys from 2018 ( n = 1062) and 2022 ( n = 1220). Results show a persistent rejection of REI in high-elevation mountainous regions—such as the largely pristine Alps—over time and despite the disruptions. In contrast, tourism-oriented alpine regions with already existing infrastructure have become more acceptable hosts of REI, reflecting a preference for siting them in already transformed areas. Support for photovoltaic (PV) has broadened: medium-scale PV (rooftop and small ground-mounted) remains most preferred, but acceptance of large PV clusters has risen from 2018 to 2022 and they are increasingly seen as a symbol of sustainability. Wind energy remains least favored, largely due to its vertical dominance and contested siting. These findings show how public mindsets shift selectively rather than uniformly, filling a gap in knowledge on how energy crises interact with landscape-technology fit. Effective planning must therefore align REI not only with techno-economic criteria, but also with how people relate to landscapes that are considered as potential hosts of REI.
  • How the COVID-19 pandemic changed forest visits in Switzerland: Is there a back to normal?
    Anne C. Wunderlich, Boris Salak, K. Tessa Hegetschweiler, Nicole Bauer, Marcel Hunziker
    Landscape and Urban Planning, 2024
    Lockdown measures implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic led to a rise in people’s visits to forests and urban green spaces. However, as vaccination efforts progressed and infection rates declined, it remained uncertain whether forest visitation levels would return to pre-pandemic norms or even decreased. To explore the post-crisis status of forest visits, we conducted a comprehensive analysis using data from a representative online panel survey conducted in Switzerland. Specifically, we compared data collected one week prior to the lockdown (in March 2020), on visit frequency, duration, activities and locations visited, with data collected two weeks after the lockdown was enforced (2020), and also with data from the summer of 2021. We aimed to determine if forest visitation had returned to normal by the time of the third survey. Our findings indicate that during times of crisis, visitation patterns and recreational preferences in urban green spaces, such as forests, undergo changes, with some of these changes exhibiting greater persistence than others. Meanwhile the activities during a forest visit as well as motivations of forest visits seem to return to their initial levels after the crisis, for example, the changes in the frequency or lengths of the visits appear to be more persistent. Recognizing and understanding these changes are crucial for urban planners and forest management authorities to adapt policies and effectively address the evolving needs of visitors.
  • Renewable energies in the field of tension between social demands
    Boris Salak, Reto Spielhofer, Marcel Hunziker, Felix Kienast, Ulrike Wissen Hayek, Adrienne Grêt-Regamey
    Schweizerische Zeitschrift Fur Forstwesen, 2024
    Das Schweizer Energiesystem soll gemäss Energiestrategie 2050 massgeblich mit Photovoltaik- (PV) und Wind-energieanlagen umgestaltet werden. Jedoch beeinflussen diese Anlagen die Wahrnehmung der Landschaft durch die Bevölkerung und können zu Konflikten mit verschiedenen gesellschaftlichen Interessen führen. Auch der Wald steht zunehmend in der Diskussion, einen Beitrag zur Energiewende zu leisten. Um Zielkonflikte zwischen der Produktion von erneuerbarer Energie und anderen gesellschaftlichen Interessen besser zu verstehen, zeigt dieser Artikel den Beitrag der Anwendung räumlicher Optimierungsmodelle, wobei zur Standortfindung erneuerbarer Energieanlagen verschiedene Planungsprioritäten berücksichtigt werden. Den Prioritäten entsprechend optimale Standorte werden auf der Basis technoökonomischer, ökologischer und gesellschaftlicher Kosten ermittelt und damit einhergehende Zielkonflikte integrativ untersucht. Räumliche Zusammenhänge zwischen Anlagenstandorten und weiteren raumrelevanten Landnutzungsinteressen werden verdeutlicht. Schliesslich werden die Wirkungen der Landschaftsveränderung auf gesellschaftliche Präferenzen für Standorte aufgezeigt. Ein solches Systemverständnis kann sowohl entscheidungstragenden als auch planenden Personen helfen, die sozialen, ökologischen und ökonomischen Auswirkungen ihrer Entscheidungen besser zu verstehen und dieses Verständnis in die Planung von erneuerbaren Energien einzubringen.
  • Shifting from techno-economic to socioecological priorities: Incorporating landscape preferences and ecosystem services into the siting of renewable energy infrastructure
    Boris Salak, Marcel Hunziker, Adrienne Grêt-Regamey, Reto Spielhofer, Ulrike Wissen Hayek, Felix Kienast
    Plos One, 2024
    This study examines the siting scenarios for renewable energy installations (REI) in a mountainous region of Europe (Switzerland), incorporating the external costs of ecosystem services and, innovatively, social preferences. This approach challenges the prevalent techno-economic siting paradigm, which often overlooks these externalities. To minimize the external costs of the scenarios while maximizing energy yield, Marxan, an optimization software, was employed. The energy target for all scenarios is set at 25 TWh/a, stemming from the energy gap anticipated due to the phase-out of Swiss nuclear reactors by 2050. This target is met using renewable energy infrastructure such as wind, roof-mounted photovoltaic, and ground-mounted photovoltaic systems. By integrating social preferences into the optimization, this study showcases a promising implementation that transcends the software’s intended applications. It complements techno-economic approaches and offers alternative decision-making avenues. The conventional "roof first" strategy proved ineffective in preventing extensive land use for the development of new renewable energy infrastructure. Strategies incorporating ground-mounted photovoltaic infrastructure were more spatially, ecologically, and socially efficient than those without. The strategy optimized for energy yield exhibited the highest spatial efficiency but incurred significant ecosystem service costs and, surprisingly, had low social costs. In contrast, the strategy prioritizing ecosystem services was the most efficient in terms of ecosystem service costs but had elevated social costs and was spatially less efficient than other strategies. The strategy optimized for social preferences incurred the lowest social costs and excelled in spatial efficiency and ecosystem service costs. Notably, this strategy employed a limited number of planning units linked to both high ecosystem service and social costs. The findings underscore that incorporating social preferences significantly enhances the evaluation of siting options. This inclusion allows for the social acceptance of investments to be factored into costs, facilitating more informed and inclusive decisions.

  • Impact on the perceived landscape quality through renewable energy infrastructure. A discrete choice experiment in the context of the Swiss energy transition

    Renewable Energy, 2022
    This paper examines how mixes (wind, photovoltaic, power lines) of different renewable energy infrastructure (REI) impact people's preferences for various landscape types. This does not only involve the visual character but also meanings that are assigned to these landscapes, which together influence the perceived landscape quality. The research is based on a representative online panel survey of Swiss residents (n = 1062). A discrete choice model (15 choice tasks) was implemented to estimate people's preferences for different REI scenarios across several landscape types. Hierarchical Bayes analysis allowed us to determine preferences of the different respondents, while choice simulation allowed us to estimate preferences for every potential scenario (n = 224) of the discrete choice experiment. While the results show a heterogeneous picture of people's preferences, they also reveal common general patterns. Near-natural, mid/high-elevation landscapes in the Alps are clearly rejected for REI implementation. Landscapes dominated by settlements or intensive agricultural use and landscapes in mountain tourist areas are preferably selected for REI developments. REI scenarios including overhead power lines perform consistently lower than scenarios without power lines. Overall, high preferences for scenarios with low REI indicate that society still lacks awareness of the need for massive REI implementation to achieve a sustainable energy transition.
  • How landscape-technology fit affects public evaluations of renewable energy infrastructure scenarios. A hybrid choice model
    B. Salak, K. Lindberg, F. Kienast, M. Hunziker
    Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 2021
    In response to the effects of climate change, many countries are realigning their energy systems to the principle of sustainability. An energy system change will lead to the development of substantial renewable energy infrastructure (mostly wind and photovoltaic) in landscapes with effects on perceived landscape quality and socio-political acceptance. Both direct perceptive effects of physical landscape structures and latent meanings associated with those structures potentially affect their acceptance. This work evaluates the role of landscape-technology fit (derived from place-technology fit) representing the extent to which alternatives within each of these two components “fit” together (e.g., does a given type of renewable energy infrastructure fit well within some landscapes but not others?). It also evaluates the role of latent meanings ascribed to landscapes and renewable energy infrastructure within that mentioned “fit” decision as well as the role of prior experience (exposure) to both. The study is based on a survey of Swiss citizens in a representative online panel (n = 1062). To estimate preferences for diverse renewable energy infrastructure scenarios across landscape types, a discrete choice model was implemented. Meanings ascribed to landscapes and renewable energy infrastructure were included in a second component of the survey. An innovative hybrid choice model approach facilitated integration of latent and observed variables in a hierarchy of predictors. Results show that most effects were statistically significant. Landscape-technology fit functioned as a moderator between choice attributes and preferences; in turn, it is predicted by landscape and renewable energy meanings, which are predicted by relevant prior experience (exposure).
