Hence, there is a recent trend to encourage participation in forest management strategies. There is an often implicit assumption that PGIS use is effective, in that it meets content needs, satisfies underlying...

Now, this approach is adopting in several country for strengthen conservation efforts and reducing natural forest conversion especially in outside protected area. The toolkit has also applied in oil palm concession,...

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...
