摘要：
In this paper, the property rights system (PR) in small-scale forestry in Europe is analysed in relationship to enterprise and innovation development. The paper applies the theory of property rights to distinguish four criteria relevant for enterprise and innovation development: security of rights, definition of the content, transferability of the rights and owners’ participation in the definition of rules for forest management. The description of the PR systems in the national COST Action E30 reports has been used as empirical data to illustrate some barriers to enterprise development according to the four selected criteria. Two categories of rearrangements in the PR systems in favour of innovation were identified: the partition of property rights amongst different users and the public allocation of rights over resource utilisation.
