%X <p>The landscape preferences and attitudes of inhabitants of Puolanka, north-eastern Finland, to the effects of silvicultural practice on the forest landscape were studied by a postal inquiry.

The quality of the living environment also influenced the preferences, since uncommon features in the living environment were favoured most.</p>
