GIS based Planning of Forest Road Networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper focuses on an interdisciplinary approach using Geoinformation Science and Technology, Operations Research and Forest Science to overcome the limitations of the traditional forest road planning process. A pilot study shows that combining Geoinformation Science and Technology and Operations Research supports forest road planning. The first research objective solved in the project is the development of a system architecture that combines the strengths of software and tools from Geographical Information Science and Operations Research. This will be the starting point for further research activities towards the development of a Spatial Decision Support System prototype for planning forest road networks.

Planning road network in mountain forests using GIS and Analytic Hierarchical Process (AHP)
Forest road construction is the most costly operation in forestry. Road designing and construction in unsuitable areas may increase construction and maintenance costs and also cause many environmental impacts. Therefore, it is required to pay more attention to forest road design. In this research, we tried to introduce an appropriate method for locating forest roads using GIS and AHP simultaneo...
متن کاملDeveloping a Decision Support System to Improve Transportation Planning in Landslide Prone Terrain
Within the past decade, several transportation planning decision support systems that combine heuristic programming techniques with geographic information systems (GIS) technology have been developed to meet forest operation challenges. These decision support systems, however, have not directly addressed the upslope influences of landslides in choosing routes from road networks. This paper prov...
متن کاملForest road design combining common design techniques and GIS (Case Study: 2nd series of Liresar Forest)
Nowadays, it is necessary to apply modern techniques for the design of road networks, especially roads passing through ecosystems such as forests, in order to reduce operating costs, prevent further degradation of the environment, increase road efficiency and achieve sustainable development goals. In this paper, a new way of designing the road is presented. New design method has the ability to ...
متن کاملDetermination of roads quota in watershed sediment yield using SEDMODEL and GIS
During the construction of road networks large area of forests and rangelands will be destroyed in the road path and its margins. This process causes massive amount of soil and rock move from its site and on adjacent lands will be accumulated, that causes increasing environmental degradation. One of the most important problems due to forest roads making is increasing of different erosion forms ...
متن کاملClassification of Protected Forest Areas for Road Network Planning (Case Study: Arasbaran Area)
The road network is an important element for sustainable forest ecosystem management. On the other hand, efficiency and quality of road design can be improved by considering of environmental and technical principles. Therefore, this study was performed to determine the capability of Arasbaran protected area for road passing and communication routes in order to use in the area management. For th...
