Book Description
Wildlife conservation plans for the northeastern U.S. call for engaging private landowners in early successional forest habitat conservation; yet, corresponding social science research to understand landowner behavior is not available. In response, my dissertation advances understanding of landowner willingness to engage in even-aged management, which is often prescribed to create ESH. I applied the social psychological Reasoned Action Approach (RAA), along with typologies, to understand landowner behavior and suggest an effective approach to engage landowners. My research was based on a survey of landowners with 10 acres or more (n=1036) in the Southern Tier region of New York State, conducted in 2010-2011. The survey measured landowners' intentions to cut patches of trees of at least 1/2 acre and allow the cut areas to regenerate into ESH. I assessed the predictors of landowners' behavioral intentions according to the RAA. Further, I applied these cognitions, along with landowner motivations, to create, critically assess, and compare three distinct typologies for understanding the breadth of landowners. Finally, I explored whether types of landowners within each of the typologies would be likely to change their behavioral intentions with the application of learning, financial, or social tools. My results show that strategies to engage landowners in even-aged management for ESH will have the greatest likelihood of success if they focus on influencing attitudes and their associated beliefs, possibly focused on members of game wildlife organizations. Additionally, a behavior-based typology might be most useful for practitioners iii when determining how to reach out to different types of landowners; yet, I found that across all landowner types and typologies, learning tools were most likely to influence landowners' intentions to patch-cut, limiting the current need for different tools for different typologies. Only Continuing adopters would be influenced similarly by learning tools and basic needs tools. I detail the conservation applications of this work for conservation agencies, organizations, and initiatives, as well as the theoretical and methodological advancements for researchers. iv.

Book Description
Abstract: Rapid changes in population growth at the rural/urban fringe are changing community dynamics and challenging the conclusions of prior research regarding landowner behavior. One important aspect of this behavior is land use behavior. Several studies have identified attitudinal, demographic, and situational variables that are correlated with land use behavior in the literature in the disciplines of rural sociology, political science, and anthropology. Despite the quantity of the literature, few studies have successfully captured the relationship between these variables in a comprehensive model. In this study, I test the hypothesis that attitude is correlated with length of residence, and the hypotheses that attitude plus several demographic variables can successfully predict preservation as a land use behavior and participation in government programs. Using multiple regression, I found that length of residence was not a significant predictor of attitude. Using logistic regression analysis, I found a significant relationship between preservation and the following variables: occupation as a farmer (negative) years living in the county (negative) and residence in Geauga County (positive). Parcel size, years living in the county, and an increasingly anti-development attitude were all significantly positively related to participation in government programs. Previous land use and soil type/topography were rated most important as factors in land use decisions. The results of the study support the theory of deHaven-Smith (1988), that land use decisions are based primarily on local, situational factors, rather than broader concepts such as concern for the environment and the Extractive Resource Commodity Theory (Tremblay and Dunlap, 1978) which states that those in extractive occupations such as farming value land differently. The results of the study are discussed in terms of farmland conservation, technical assistance, and stakeholder processes.
