State forest administration performance in the Czech Republic: A case study of forestry legislation implementation in the South Bohemian Region

In the Czech Republic, the present state forest administration is incorporated into general state administration. Municipalities with extended competence (MECs) as first-instance forest administration bodies thus perform the so-called “mixed” administration. Besides forestry, MECs cumulatively perfo...
