ABSTRACT
The present study contributes
to the development of an online FRMP (Forest
Road Management Platform) that aims to assist in the management of forest
road network in a holistic way. This is achieved by the proposed methodology which
serves as a database using geoprocessing and geospatial technologies for the handling,
and the identification of critical issues in the infrastructure of forest road networks,
visualization of forest roads, and the optimization of the management of the forest
road network by proposing alternative strategies. In this paper, the development
of the decision making web-tool, and presented examples
to demonstrate effectively its application and resulting advantages are described. The developed web-application may provide assistance
to various forest organizations in the management of forest road networks and associated
problems in an effective and sustainable way.
KEYWORDS
