Abstract

The article analyzes the availability of wood resources as a key indicator of the sustainability of logging operations. This study leads to the conclusion that the process of assessing the availability of wood resources is associated with the collection and analysis of a large amount of data. At the same time, the more raw data is analyzed, the better the evaluation is. This article describes the experience of creating a software product based on geographic information and analytical systems designed for detailed assessment of the entire set of factors that determine the level of avail-ability of forest resources. The results of the assessment of the availability of wood resources in the Krasnoyarsk Territory are presented. The results obtained will allow to increase the efﬁciency of the use of forest resources, to select the ideal technology and system of machines, to avoid environmental disturbance, to develop the optimal route for timber transportation which will eventually allow the forest user to make the largest proﬁ t from the timber products received.
