Structured Questionnaire

The current study examines the importance of planning and management documents (notably the forest management plan and the regional forest plan) for public relations purposes. 17 people (15 forest engineers and 2 forest guards) were interviewed using a semi-structured questionnaire. The results of our survey show that some of the information used for public relations is taken from the planning documents. The forest management plan is primarily considered to be an internal document, but it also provides information on the objectives of forest enterprises, justifications of the planned measures, numbers and maps. The regional forest plan contributes to the public relations in three ways: its content provides information about objectives, description of forest functions, projects and measures. In addition, the participation of the public in the process of elaborating this plan is an ideal opportunity to heighten awareness in society and further public understanding of the forest and forestry services. Finally, as the regional forest management plan is in the public domain, it functions as a type of «show case» of the forest service.

Forest Management Plan

The silvicultural principles of a forest management plan for Canton Neuchâtel reveals itself as steeped in a systemic approach that allows us to consider the forest as a truly living system. In this context, it seems judicious to the author to conceive of the body forest personnel as a group of responsible people who share certain common ethics and who, in their work, promote the emergence of collective services recognised as beneficial to the state and which would be supported by public funding for the good of the entire community.

Abstract The paper presents procedures for determining market values of forest real properties, with particular emphasis placed on the forest stand. The mixed-approach valuation procedure - land valuation index method - was analyzed. The practical part of the work regarding the valuation of the forest stand introduces the various techniques of valuation and acquisition of data on forest resources used, i.e.: index-based valuation approach and stock survey approach. The subject of the research is part of a forest property, which represents an assessment area, typical of the southern part of Poland, located in the Tenczynek Forest Division. There is a forest management plan for the analyzed property which, together with the assessment descriptions, was used as one of the sources of data for valuation. The second source of data for valuation were direct field surveys, i.e.: geodetic surveys for determining the assessment area and the stock survey approach with individual tree assessment with respect to data on the stand. Based on the research, it may be concluded that both valuation techniques and methods used to capture data on forest resources significantly affect the final value of forest properties. The market value of the stand, determined by the index-based valuation approach, demonstrates a significant difference when compared to the value of the stand determined by the stock survey approach. The forest management plan should only be used as a supplementary material and only to identify site types of forests by property valuers and, partially, together with economic maps, to determine the boundaries of assessment areas.

OO Parque Estadual da Pedra Selada, localizado no sul fluminense, possui atrativos turísticos muito interessantes, sendo o pico da Pedra Selada e os percursos para a Pedra Boca do Sapo, os mais conhecidos. Os objetivos do trabalho foram caracterizar e mapear as trilhas para localizar os pontos de limitações e os pontos de fragilidade ecoturística para auxiliar a gestão da Unidade de Conservação no planejamento, no manejo e na conservação da área. Para isso, foram mapeados com auxílio do GPS, os atrativos, os pontos de cicatrizes de erosão e na identificação das áreas sem manejo. O geoprocessamento foi utilizado em conjunto com a metodologia do Índice de Atratividade de Pontos Interpretativos; o que permitiu localizar os pontos de fragilidade ecoturística. Esse estudo foi importante porque poderá contribuir com a Unidade de Conservação na implantação do Plano de Manejo e, auxiliar a gestão do Parque Estadual da Pedra Selada na preservação dos atrativos, podendo melhorar a visita dos turistas, a renda da população local e, principalmente, minimizar os impactos negativos na biota. Como principais resultados e conclusões, o presente trabalho contribuiu para auxiliar a gestão do Parque Estadual da Pedra Selada na identificação das áreas de baixa, média e alta fragilidade ecoturística; no diagnóstico antecipado das áreas que possam sofrer impactos causados pela visitação e contribuir também na implantação da zona de amortecimento da Unidade de Conservação na região da Pedra Boca do Sapo. te Park; Fragility Ecotourism; GIS. Evaluation of the potential and limitations of the Sealed Stone trail and paths for the Pedra Boca do Sapo (Mouth Frog Stone) in the ‘Pedra Selada’ (Sealed Stone) State Park (RJ, Brazil) ABSTRACT The state Park off Pedra Selada, located on the south of Rio de Janeiro’s state, has very interesting touristic attractions, one of them being the Pedra Selada and the paths to the Boca do Sapo Rock, those are the most famous ones. The focus of this study were characterize and map the trails to locate both the limitation and the vulnerability of those eco touristic spots it was done to assist management of the Conservation Unit on planning, forest management and conservation of the area. In order to do those attractions were mapped with the help off a GPS the spots of erosion scars and on the identification of areas without forest management. The geoprocessing was used in conjunction with the attractiveness Index methodology points Interpretive; what me possible to locate the vulnerable eco touristic. This study was important because it can contributes with the Conservation Unit at the implementation off the Forest management Plan and assist on the managing of the state Park off Pedra Selada preserving attractions making both the tourist visit and the income of the local population better and manly , minimize negative impacts on environment. As main result and conclusions, the study contributed to help management of the State Park off Pedra Selada identifying areas with low, medium and high vulnerability ecotourism; the early diagnosis of the areas that may suffer impacts due to visitation and also contribute to the establishment of the buffer zone of the Conservation Unit in the region of Boca do Sapo Rock.

Matlab Programming

In Turkey, forest management plans are produced by terrestrial surveying techniques for 10 or 20 year periods, which can be considered quite long to maintain the sustainability of forests. For a successful forest management plan, it is necessary to collect accurate information about the stand parameters and store them in dynamic and robust databases. The position, number, height and closure of trees are among the most important stand parameters required for a forest management plan. Determining the position of each single tree is challenging in such an area consisting of too many interlocking trees. Hence, in this study, an object-based tree detection methodology has been developed in MATLAB programming language to determine the position of each tree top in a highly closed area. The developed algorithm uses the Canopy Height Model (CHM), which is computed from the Digital Terrain Model (DTM) and Digital Surface Model (DSM) generated by using the point cloud extracted from the images taken from a UAS (Unmanned Aerial System). The heights of trees have been determined by using the CHM. The closure of the trees has been determined with the written MATLAB script. The results show that the developed tree detection methodology detected more than 70% of the trees successfully. It can also be concluded that the stand parameters may be determined by using the UAS-based point clouds depending on the characteristics of the study area. In addition, determination of the stand parameters by using point clouds reduces the time needed to produce forest management plans.
