Forest road planning to improve tourism accessibility: a comparison of different methods applied in a real case study

Manijeh Talebi et al.

Summary: This article proposes a novel Genetic Algorithm (GA) based approach for forest road planning and validates it in a real forest area. The results show significant advantages of this algorithm over traditional road planning methods in reducing computation time, costs, and environmental impacts.

An Infrastructure Perspective for Enhancing Multi-functionality of Forests: A Conceptual Modeling Approach

Mojtaba Houballah et al.

Summary: Forest resource systems heavily rely on shared and coupled infrastructures, where road provision can pose dilemmas in multifunctional management. By developing a mathematical model based on recent studies, the impact of road provisions on forest functions can be analyzed, and governance strategies can be explored to enhance forest multifunctionality. This approach helps derive conditions of sustainability and understand the role of shared infrastructure provisions in forest functionalities and performance.

Spatially explicit assessment of forest road suitability for timber extraction and hauling in Switzerland

Marielle Fraefel et al.

Summary: The study evaluates the economic suitability of the forest road network for harvesting operations in the entire Swiss forest, showing that while most of the forest is suitable for economic harvesting, there are also significant portions that are not suitable. The model results can help in planning and managing the road network, and identifying areas for economic harvesting and areas that are not suitable for it.

Forest accessibility, Madonie mountains (northern Sicily, Italy): implementing a GIS decision support system

Sebastiano Sferlazza et al.

Summary: Valorization and sustainable exploitation of woody biomass from cultivation interventions present an important opportunity for rural communities in natural protected areas, while the governance of Mediterranean protected areas faces challenges from overlapping and conflicting institutions and stakeholders. A GIS-based decision support system tool was introduced for mapping forest accessibility and optimizing woody biomass extraction, with models implemented at different scales and validated in Madonie mountains, Sicily, Italy.
