In this diploma thesis, we've tryed to show usability of lidar imaging for maintenance of the stand map. To assess the applicability of lidar, 35 stands were analyzed in the forest management unit Cerkno. First, we've evaluated the growing stock and tree height on the terrain for these stands, then we've made maps for each of the stands on lidar data and orthophoto images. On the base of both images the border of the stands was evaluated. At the same time we've compared our measurement data from the terrain with the ones in databases of the Slovenian forest service. We've found out that the forest is very well delimited to individual stands, but we've found inconsistencies in other parameters. The difference between our estimated growing stock and the one from the stand maps was lower than 10 % in eleven stands. The difference in eleven other stands was between 10 and 50 %. The difference in the thirteen remaining stands was more than 50 %. Nine of those thirteen had the difference of over 100 %. Evaluation of development phases gave us 4 stands which weren't in compliance with our estimations. Mixture of tree species was different in 4 stands.
