Almost 80 % of Norwegians live in urban areas, making urban forests highly valuable. The multitude of values assigned to those forests creates conceptual challenges, especially incorporating humanistic and existentialistic views of man. The aim of this presentation is to propose a value taxonomy for urban forests that takes such views of man into consideration, and to suggest how this can be useful to managers. Methodologically the taxonomy is developed through a literature review of environmental philosophical and recreation management literature, and then tested through qualitative interviews with selected stakeholder groups in urban forests near Trondheim, Bergen and Oslo. Through the literature review demand values, instrumental values and constitutive values were identified as key categories. Demand values are utilitarian values appreciated for their own sake, while instrumental values are valued as means to get other values. Such concepts are used in philosophy by Ariansen (1997) and psychology by Rokeach (1973). Constitutive values are genuine non-utility values contributing to our deep felt self understanding, often subdivided into ethical, cultural identity and religious – spiritual values. Introducing constitutive values may help avoiding the trap of the `commodity metaphor` in the often utilitarian oriented management literature...
