Multi-criteria decision models for forestry and natural resources management by Joseph Edward De Steiguer Pdf

Foresters and natural resource managers must balance conflicting objectives when developing land-management plans. Conflicts may encompass economic, environmental, social, cultural, technical, and aesthetic objectives. Selecting the best combination of management uses from numerous objectives is difficult and challenging. Multi-Criteria Decision Models (MCDM) provide a systematic means for comparing tradeoffs and selecting alternatives that best satisfy the decisionmakergass objectives. In recent years, the use of MCDM in forestry and natural resources management has generated a substantial body of literature. This annotated bibliography includes 124 important references ranging from theoretical studies to real-world applications of MCDM.

Values, Beliefs, and Attitudes by Stewart D. Allen Pdf

Knowing about public values, beliefs, and attitudes (VBA) relevant to public land mgmt. is one foundation for understanding the linkages between the needs of nearby communities, and regional and nat. residents. Managers aware of the systematic differences in VBA held by the public and stakeholders are in a better position to define resource issues, develop alternative ways of addressing them, assess their social and cultural impacts, identify acceptable mgmt. measures, and monitor the results. This guide is designed to acquaint Forest Service staff with the concepts of VBA; to demonstrate ways in which VBA and assoc, concepts can be measured; and to suggest methods for applying VBA info. to decisions about projects and plans.

Uncertainty and Forest Land Use Allocation in British Columbia by Arlene Ells,Erwin Bulte,G. Cornelis Van Kooten,Canada-British Columbia Partnership Agreement on Forest Resource Development: FRDA II. Pdf

This paper explains the concepts of fuzzy set theory and applies them to the problem of allocating public forest land on Vancouver Island among competing land uses. Two principal sources of fuzziness are identified: those related to uncertainty in classification (specification of management objectives) and those related to uncertainty concerning how actions affect objectives (imprecise technical coefficients). Comparing the results of classical and fuzzy decision models enables determination of which approach provides improved results, and which is more consistent with the political decision-making process in British Columbia.
