20.500.12556/RUL-125634 Harvesting system suitability as decision support in selection cutting forest management in northwest Bosnia and Herzegovina Planning of forest harvesting operations is one of the key elements of successful forest management. The integration of modern tools and traditional forestry procedures is something that must be done in contemporary forestry. This research investigated the use of multicriteria decision support (AHP) and GIS in choosing the optimal harvesting system for predominantly selection cutting forest management on the example of two Forest Management Units (FMU). Results showed that AHP could be easily integrated into GIS using the extAHP tool and its results could be of help, along with other input data, in choosing the optimal harvesting system. Spatial analysis of raster data in GIS gives a comprehensive insight into the stand and terrain characteristics and shows the relative share of the area proposed for each system. In FMU %Kozara%Mlječanica%, the harvesting system chainsaw-skidder had the highest relative share with 44% of the area, meaning that it is almost the only harvesting system in current use, followed by chainsaw-forwarder (36%), chainsaw-cable yarder (19%), and chainsaw-adapted agriculture tractor (AAT) (1%). The system harvester-forwarder was not used at all, which is understandable considering that FMU %Kozara%Mlječanica% has a higher average slope and higher diameter of trees to be cut than FMU %Prosara%, where harvester-forwarder system accounts for a significant 36% of the area. The dominant system in FMU %Prosara% was chainsaw-forwarder (42%), followed by chainsaw-cable yarder (17%), chainsaw-skidder (4%) and chainsaw-AAT (1%). It should be noted that the presence of chainsaw-skidder system is insignificant. It is replaced by the system chainsaw-forwarder. Traditional harvesting system chainsaw-skidder, which prevails in Bosnia and Herzegovina, should be upgraded with the new technologies and methods. Using tools like multicriteria decision support and GIS could be of great help in that process. harvesting systems criteria AHP GIS raster analysis spravilo lesa kriteriji odločanja AHP GIS rastrska analiza true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2021-03-29 09:55:41 2021-03-29 09:55:50 2022-09-05 03:51:46 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2020 0 0 Str. 251-265 iss. 2 Vol. 41 2020 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 630*3 1845-5719 10.5552/crojfe.2020.744 57307395 1543078 RAZ_Marceta_Dane_2020.pdf RAZ_Marceta_Dane_2020.pdf 1 62D862C63CD3B0EF35704B12424391F4 051e428a3eb833364611f4aab31d7ddc7c29da334d73c3b12ccb6422e4187718 c063186d-a1bb-11eb-a523-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=141434 https://doi.org/10.5552/crojfe.2020.744 1 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=141433 Biotehniška fakulteta 0 0 0
