Abstract

The paper describes an application of criteria and indicators (C&I) used for forest management unit. First we present the selection of a desirable C&I set in accordance with the ranking method. This method was used in a participatory decision-making environment where a team representing stakeholders connected with forests used their opinion in assessing C&I developed by Center for International Forestry Research. Next, we present forest management unit evaluation in line with said criteria. State Forests in Poland was used for a case-study. Results show that the ranking approach can be used to select sets of C&I for particular forest management unit. Also the results show that State Forests are finding on the road to sustainable management. Using C&I can help in monitoring forest management and fitting next purposes.
