"An interview study was carried out to investigate the attitudes of people visiting forest areas in Germany (Freiburg) and Japan (Morioka), focusing on tree felling and the image of the present forest operating system in each country. As a result of the investigation, in Japan, many forest visitors agreed with the opinion that tree felling should not be done because it was an act of destruction against nature. But in Germany, many forest visitors were opposed to this opinion. Also, many forest visitors in Germany were opposed to the following idea: ""I don't think tree felling is a good action, but we need forest timber for our everyday lives"". In Japan, the majority of forest visitors approved of this idea. Furthermore in Germany, forest visitors had an image of the current German forest operating system in which a small area was clear-cut or selected for cutting to create a mixed forest. However, in Japan, many forest visitors thought that large scale clear-cutting system is still being practiced in present-day Japan."
