First, most scheduling problems involve large numbers of stands and/or harvest block. Second, a long-term look is required to address sustainability—usually several rotations. As planning horizons increase, the decision variables and constraints necessary to represent adjacencies increase exponentially....

GIS integrates hardware, software, and data for capturing managing, analyzing, and displaying all forms of geographically referenced information (ESRI, 2008). This makes GIS an important tool in...

McCall and Peter A. Minang, The Geography Journal Volume 171 No.(4) pages 283-306, 2010   Introduction Integrating GIS into Forest Resources Spatial Management and Planning (1) - As Indonesia becomes the third highest biodiversity country, it is important for Indonesian to conserve its forest resources. Since, without any simultaneous conservation strategies and sustainable use of forest resources, all advantageous for nation development will be vanished no more than a few years. Concerns over the impacts of forest operations on the forest landscape have compelled a number of agencies to take initiatives to address these issues (Feunekes and Cogswell, 1993)....
