Abstract

The concept of “eco-innovation” has been increasingly used in environmental policy to analyze an innovation system taking into account social, ecological and economic pillars of sustainability. The aim of this study is to develop a set of eco-innovation indicators suitable to analyze the forest-wood chain at local level. The study was structured in three steps: literature review on eco-innovation indicators; defining a set of eco-innovation indicators suitable for the forestry sector; testing of eco-innovation indicators in a pilot area (Province of Trento, Italy). Eight indicators and sixteen sub-indicators suitable for the forestry sector were identified. The eco-innovation indicators were quantified using official statistics and new data collected by administering a questionnaire to 114 forest-wood chain actors. The results show an average efficiency of the timber processing and a medium-high level of enhancement of the wood residues generated by production process. Conversely, the level of collaboration between actors of forest-wood chain and institutional actors (universities, research institutes, R&D agencies) could be improved with the aim of increasing the diffusion of eco-innovation knowledge and information. The eco-innovation indicators developed by this study emphasize environmental impacts and negative externalities of innovation process in the forestry sector.

林业部门生态创新指标的全面发展:在意大利阿尔卑斯山的应用
“生态创新”的概念越来越多地用于环境政策,以分析一个考虑到可持续性的社会、生态和经济支柱的创新系统。本研究的目的是建立一套适合于分析地方一级森林-木材链的生态创新指标。本研究分为三个步骤:生态创新指标的文献综述;确定一套适合林业部门的生态创新指标;在一个试验区(意大利特伦托省)测试生态创新指标。确定了适合林业部门的8个指标和16个分指标。生态创新指标采用官方统计数据和通过对114个森林木材链参与者进行问卷调查收集的新数据进行量化。结果表明,木材加工的平均效率和生产过程中产生的木材残留物的中高水平增强。相反,森林-木材链参与者与制度参与者(大学、研究机构、研发机构)之间的合作水平可以得到提高,目的是增加生态创新知识和信息的传播。本研究开发的生态创新指标强调林业部门创新过程的环境影响和负外部性。
