Technodiversity Glossary

In a study from 2009, Kleinhückelkotten et al. have found five different groups of people who use the forests for recreation. One of them are the indifferent persons, the others are holistic forest friends, ecological forest romantics, pragmatical distant persons, and self-centered forest users.

With 18% of the total, the indifferent persons form a relatively large group. They feel no emotional connection with forests at all. If they talk about forestry, they assume that forestry is too primitive for them. Often, they don’t accept that forestry earns money with forest products. Fortunately, members of this group will seldom visit a forest.
