“…Totally, 15 experts participated in the Delphi survey. The Delphi method is thought to obtain a consensus among individuals who have the special knowledge of an issue of interest, in contrast to opinion polls which use a random choice of participants and lack the opinion feedback (FÜrst et al 2010). Also, this method of screening provides a suitable way of bridging the gap between regional analysis and its incorporation into public policy (Miller 1993).…”

ABSTRACT:The aim of this study is to solve the forest park site selection problem using a Fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) framework in the Galegol Basin, Lorestan province, Iran. The Delphi screening method was used to select the most relevant criteria and sub-criteria to the forest park problem. Using the FAHP weighting approach, the weight of each criterion and sub-criterion was calculated. Then, the suitability map of forest park location was mapped by the weighted linear combination (WLC) method. The results revealed that 7 criteria (climate, water resources, physiography, landscape, vegetation cover, wildlife and economic criteria) and 16 sub-criteria received the required values and can be involved into the decision-making process of the forest park site selection problem. Using the derived weights of sub-criteria by FAHP and the WLC method, the final results showed that most of the study area is moderately suitable for the forest park location problem. The results of this study can be valuable in the planning of local forest park and future land use planning.

“…For this type of knowledge, technology developers have long focused on supporting planners in handling and managing considerable amounts of information. However, there is not a general consensus about spatial models and technologies (particularly Geographic Information Systems) for supporting planning and decision-making processes (Fürst et al 2010a(Fürst et al , 2010b. This is partly related to the fact that most planning theories are based on different assumptions regarding rationality.…”

“…In the framework of the research project RegioPower, GISCAME [43,44] is applied for visualizing and assessing the impact of alternative land use scenarios in forestry and agriculture on (i) the production potential for biomass and (ii) the provision of ecosystem services at the regional scale. GISCAME combines features of a geo-information system, a cellular automaton, and multi-criteria evaluation.…”

Cross-Sectoral Resource Management: How Forest Management Alternatives Affect the Provision of Biomass and Other Ecosystem Services

Integrated forest management is faced with the challenge that the contribution of forests to economic and ecological planning targets must be assessed in a socio-ecological system context. This paper introduces a way to model spatio-temporal dynamics of biomass production at a regional scale in order to derive land use strategies that enhance biomass provision and avoid trade-offs for other ecosystem services. The software platform GISCAME was employed to bridge the gap between local land management decisions and regional planning by linking growth and yield models with an integrative mesoscale modeling and assessment approach. The model region is located in Saxony, Germany. Five scenarios were simulated, which aimed at testing different alternatives for adapted land use in the context of climate change and increasing biomass demand. The results showed, for example, that forest conversion towards climate-change-adapted forest types had positive effects on ecological integrity and landscape aesthetics. In contrast, negative impacts on landscape aesthetics must be expected if agricultural sites were converted into short rotation coppices. Uncertainties with stem from assumptions regarding growth and yield models were discussed. Future developmental steps which consider, for example, accessibility of the resources were identified.
