Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper explains the concepts of fuzzy set theory and applies them to the problem of allocating public forest land on Vancouver Island among competing land uses. Two principal sources of fuzziness are identified: those related to uncertainty in classification (specification of management objectives) and those related to uncertainty concerning how actions affect objectives (imprecise technical coefficients). Comparing the results of classical and fuzzy decision models enables determination of which approach provides improved results, and which is more consistent with the political decision-making process in British Columbia.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Land allocation use specialization is a forest management strategy designed to accommodate the wide array of values present on the forested landscape, having the potential to enhance both environmental and industrial uses of the forest. The details of such a strategy, however, are not fixed, being case specific. The challenge is to define the basis for zoning considering the multiplicity of values expected from each particular forestland base. Therefore, this work explores the implications of different zoning approaches for land allocation in the Prince George Forest District of central British Columbia, Canada. To do so, three objectives were set: a) evaluate the consequences of different zoning strategies on a specific forestland base; b) examine the effects of different area proportions among categories on the land use allocation; and c) explore how expected future climate change may affect land use allocation in the study area. The methodology consisted of defining the basic values expected by stakeholders from the forest land base and combining them using three different zoning approaches: three-zone, four-zone and multiple-zone. Results show that the zoning approach has major influences on the results, increasing spatial distribution and fragmentation with an increase in the number of zones. Furthermore, the increase in target area of a specific category results in its greater distribution over the landscape and better representation of the variety of landscapes found in the study area. Finally, climate change predictions can be proactively incorporated in land use plans, creating more robust land use plants. The methodology employed in this work enables the amalgamation of multiple sources of information to define forest values, it is flexible and it also provides spatially explicit allocation maps easy to assimilate."--P. ii.

This book was released on 1986 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the more pressing resource management problems in British Columbia is the allocation of forest land between competing uses. This study examines the technical evaluation of alternative uses in environmental impact assessment (EIA) to reach land allocation decisions. A review of evaluative techniques commonly used by provincial agencies to assess resource use was conducted, along with a review of the use of cost-benefit analysis. A case study of the West Coast Trail is used to apply the methods.

This book was released on 1985 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The agriculture-forest interface is defined as the general boundary zone separating the agricultural ecumene from forest. A variety of land uses in addition to farming and forestry can exist in such areas: recreation, energy and mineral development, wildlife, watershed protection. This exploratory paper reviews, by province, the principal geographic areas of substantial recent changes in land use at the agriculture-forest interface and discusses the land allocation and management issues associated with each area"--Abstract.
