Tiivistelmä:The present study aims to assess the public attitudes towards nature and “rewilding” processes. Based on a standardized questionnaire to 4000 randomly selected households throughout Switzerland. A cluster analysis led to a typology with four different types of human-nature relationship (“nature lovers”, “nature sympathizers”, “nature-connected users” and “nature controllers”) that each characterize a particular attitude towards nature. The article found that due to the differences concerning the attitudes towards wilderness between the human-nature relationship types, between the rural and urban dwellers, and between the language regions, a uniform strategy for the designation and management of wilderness areas in Switzerland is not possible. when managing landscape change, all stakeholders are included in a participatory process and we advise a thorough assessment of the attitudes of the involved persons towards nature and rewilding at the start of such processes. It is argues when managing landscape change, all stakeholders are included in a participatory process as well as advises a thorough assessment of the attitudes of the involved persons towards nature and rewilding at the start of such processes.
