Nurlely Aman

Abstract :

Forest management is challenged today to better integrate ecological, economic, and social objectives. One of the main function of forests is as a media of water preservation for rivers to be used as a resource of a hydroelectric power plant. Other objectives of economic and silvicultural nature of forestry should be taken into account in developing the forest management planning. This paper proposes a goal programming approach to model the forest management planning in which several objectives have to be met. The model is applied to the forest in North Sumatera province of Indonesia
