The article presents a geo-informational model of the transport network of the Lozovsky district of the Kharkiv region. An analysis of the modeling object was carried out and it was determined that the transport system of the Lozovsky district contains two main components - a network of railway tracks and a network of highways. There are also waterways, but they are not suitable for transportation tasks. At the same time, geoinformation technologies, by their purpose, have descriptive and analytical functions that allow modeling and analysis of any objects. The Internet resource Open Street Map was selected as a data source for spatial modeling of the transport system of the Lozovsky district. This resource contains detailed and free information, access to Open Street Map data in geoinformation format integrated with QGIS software. Therefore, this software product was used as a modeling tool. Using the modules of the software tool selected for modeling, the following layers of the model were created: "District boundaries", "Roads", "Railway", "Railway stations", "Waterways" and "Populations", each of which has attribute data that characterize the properties of the elements of the corresponding layer. As an example of the use of the built model, the main types of network analysis were performed, namely, the shortest routes between settlements located within the selected modeling area were calculated. Modeling of the shortest distances from settlements located on the selected territory to the district center of Lozovsky district of Kharkiv region was also performed. Conclusions were made about the suitability of the built model for analysis and solving issues of optimization of transport infrastructure. The resulting model can be used as a means of supporting decision-making when forming a development strategy. In addition, it has been determined that geographic information modeling is a powerful tool for analyzing and visualizing geographically distributed data and has a wide range of applications, providing great opportunities for analyzing and improving the management of geographic information, including for the study and modeling of transport networks. Keywords: transport network, geoinformation system, modeling, route optimization, shortest distance.

“…Forest operations have traditionally been divided into three major categories: (i) "Environmentally Sound Forest Harvesting" [37]; (ii) "Reduced-Impact Logging" [7,38]; and (iii) "Forest Operations Ecology" [16]. Instead, the required and ongoing evolving new challenges for forest ecosystems, ecosystem products and services, as well as conservation values owing to climatic changes must be the source of the desired future conditions in forest operations planning and management [39,40].…”

The sustainable management of forest resources is greatly influenced by forest operations (FO). Interactions between humans and nature describe how people engage with and are impacted by the natural world. As we enter the Anthropocene epoch, we are being compelled to reevaluate our past and present methods of managing and planning our forest operations in order to find new ones that are more adaptable and successful at addressing the growing unpredictability resulting from accelerating global change. We briefly discuss the goals and constraints of the prior and current management and planning principles for forest operations in this study, focusing on how these principles have evolved on a worldwide scale. We then propose a promising idea, such as managing forest operations as complex adaptive systems and approaches based on resilience and sustainable use of forest resources, in order to achieve the necessary economic, social, and ecological goals. An in-depth understanding of the ecological, economic, and social factors that influence forest resilience is necessary for planning and managing forest operations efficiently. The proposed strategy combines the effectiveness of forest operations with a functional, complex network approach in order to manage forests for the Anthropocene.
