摘要: There is an increasing interest in considering goals other than timber production forest planning. Common to many of these new that there are spatial requirements. Unfortunately, existing approaches for long-term planning general non-spatial, or not effective considerations because the complexity solving problems. These circumstances have spurred extensive research into problem during last years. However, much has a focus on American conditions. Subsequently, majority studies deal with harvesting adjacent areas and only small number problems more typical to, e.g., Scandinavian conditions, such as minimizing fragmentation old forest. In this chapter different aspects consideration will be discussed. Different ways including planning, characteristics problems, presented.
