Land tenure heterogeneity may be an obstacle to forested landscape-level management planning and the provision of ecosystem services. This research focused on potential combining participatory workshops multiple criteria decision methods (MCDMs) support development negotiation targets for supply services help design plan needed meet those targets. We describe application two landscapes with several ownership types in Portugal. The approach encompassed involving more than 40 stakeholders...
The practice of multicriteria forest management planning is often complicated by the need to explicit a priori goals and preferences decisionmaker. This manuscript aims at describing an approach that may take advantage posteriori preference modeling facilitate specification levels achievement various objectives in typical framework. goal provide information about nondominated points feasible set criteria space (FSCS) so decisionmakers trade-off information. emphasis on demonstrating...
Cork oak (Quercus suber L.) and holm rotundifolia) ecosystems are characteristic of Mediterranean forestry in Portugal. Even though cork is the most valuable product, these provide multiple products services. Assessing trade-offs between goals thus critical for effectiveness ecosystem management planning. This paper focuses on development a decision support system ecosystems’ scenario analysis including criteria. It includes an innovative systems (DSS) functionality to assess criteria that...
Wildfires impact the outcomes of forest management plans. Addressing that is thus critical for effective ecosystem planning. This paper presents research on use multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) methods integrate wildfire risk in planning contexts characterized by objectives. Specifically, an a posteriori preference modeling approach developed adds to set objectives representing services supply values. Wildfire are derived from stand-level occurrence and damage models as well...
This study examines the potential of combining decision support approaches to identify optimal bundles ecosystem services in a framework characterized by multiple decision-makers. A forested landscape, Zona de Intervenção Florestal Paiva and Entre-Douro Sousa (ZIF_VS) Portugal, is used test demonstrate this potential. The landscape extends over 14,388 ha, representing 1976 stands. property fragmented into 376 holdings. overall analysis was performed three steps. First, we selected six...
Aim of study: In this paper, we present a decision support system (DSS) to making where different stakeholders have generate landscape and forest level strategic plans. We further an interactive approach that may take advantage posteriori preference modelling (i.e. Pareto frontier technique) facilitate the specification levels achievement various objectives.Area The was applied one planning cycle real world study case, Leiria National Forest in Portugal. Forest, managed area approximately...
In this paper, we present a web-based decision support system (DSS)—wSADfLOR—to facilitate the access of stakeholders to tools that may contribute enhancing forest management planning. The emphasis is on architecture and web graphic user interface (wGUI) effectively analysis trade-offs between ecosystem services in order address participatory sustainable objectives. For purpose, wGUI provides remote information system, enabling users analyze environmental biometric data topological as well....
Decision making in modern forest management planning is challenged by the need to recognize multiple ecosystem services and address preferences goals of stakeholders. This research presents an innovative a posteriori preference modeling multi-objective integer optimization (MOIP) approach encompassing programming models new technique for generation interactive visualization Pareto frontier. Due complexity size our problems, decomposition was used build frontier general problem using...
This study examines the potential of combining decision support approaches to identify optimal bundles ecosystem services. A forested landscape, Zona de Intervenção Florestal Paiva and Entre-Douro Sousa (Portugal), is used test demonstrate this potential. The landscape extends over 14,000 ha, representing 1,976 stands. property fragmented into 376 holdings. overall analysis was performed in three steps. First, we selected six alternative solutions (A F) a Pareto...
The conversion of fertile croplands to Eucalyptus woodlots in Ethiopian highlands, due its business attractiveness smallholders, raises concerns related food production, water resources, carbon and other ecosystem services. This study was therefore designed examine land allocation plantation management decisions. Our emphasis on the analysis tradeoffs between economic gains obtained from harvesting timber use. For that purpose, we considered a 1987 ha agroforest landscape Amhara region,...
Abstract This research addresses the problem of forested landscape management planning in contexts characterized by multiple ecosystem services and stakeholders. A new methodology for participatory landscape-level forest is proposed. Specifically, a bilevel representation used, whereas models subsystems are used constructing an integrated model master problem. Participatory workshops interactive visualization Pareto frontier to support solution multi-objective optimization upper- lower-level...
Forests provide multiple ecosystem services, some of which are competitive, while others complementary. Pareto frontier approaches often used to assess the trade-offs among these services. However, when dealing with spatial optimization problems, one is faced problems that computationally complex. In this paper, we study sources complexity and propose an approach address adjacency conflicts analyzing wood production, cork, carbon stock, erosion, fire resistance biodiversity. This starts by...
A decision support system (DSS) devoted to water–quality planning is described. The DSS based on a graphic multiple–criteria technique called generalized reachable sets (GRS) method, which provides experts and makers with objective tradeoff curves among cost pollution criteria. information improves their understanding of the problem helps identify wastewater treatment strategies that provide reasonable balance between pollution. These are starting points for further negotiation governmental...
