The study conducted a questionnaire survey and collected the data of perceptions of foresters and conservationists in Taiwan on four forest management practices, i.e., natural forest, national park, forest recreation and forest plantation. The perceptions of forester and conservationist groups were different, but there was no difference within each group. The major divergence between the two groups was the perceptions on the goals of forest plantation and forest recreation being for private interests or for public interests. The survey data indicated that conservationist group had a higher tendency toward new environmental paradigm than forest group in the perceptions on forest management.
