Forest management and planning is complex, involving the application of many scarce and diverse resources to the production and maintenance of a multitude of products and services from the forest over a relatively long period of time.

To resolve the traditional quantifiable but incommensurate objectives of perfect regulation, maximization of present net worth, and even-flow harvest, goal programming (GP) was applied to a sample forest, providing optimal solutions for each goal and a compromise solution that jointly considered all three as weighted goals. Goal programming overcame problems of infeasible specification and satisfied alternate criteria in cases with multiple optima. The GP approach provided a means of considering each of the three goals and minimizing the appropriately weighted deviations.

This research has objective in planning economic structure of East Java in 2002.Some aspect should be considered in planing the structure are consumer demand fulfillment that hasclose relation with output which must be resulted by respective sector,PDRB target achievement while paying attention on problem of absorbing labor force in the respective economic sector and import reduction.To attain the structure we use concept of linear goal programming. The first step we take is developing a model suitable for the linear goal programming and then manipulating data hat is began by aggregation updating,arranging technology coellcient, labor force coefficient,added value coeffcient import coefficient and right side value. To get a solution of the existing model we make use of QS software.From the result of research could be concluced that priority sector must be priority are l. Trading, 2. Textile Industries 3. Transportation4. cigaretteindustry,6. Food of plants.The critical sector have to be attended are 1. Fishery,2. Bevarage industry, 3. Forestry

Situation and concerns of forest owners - some notions (essay) The swiss forest economy is expecting huge challenges due to major changes in national and international circumstances. The main task in future time will be to combine proven traditions and principles with new and probably massif changes in an optimized way. We must be aware of the fact that some existing methods of forest management and sylviculture will eventually have to be adapted in a quite extensive and fundamental way. Swiss forest land owners must be recognized again as the main actors and the most important stakeholder concerning forest matters. There has been a very long period of reducing forest owners property rights and liberty of action, this process has to be stopped now. The increasing demand for existing and new non-wood forest products and services and for further limitations in forest management must be satisfied increasingly on a voluntarely basis (product selling, service agreements), rather than by tightening up the forest and other forest-related laws. The well-known «wake theory» in Swiss forest economy doesn't work anymore in its traditional form.
