The system covers the whole decision support process from data inventory to tools for selecting among plan alternatives with multi-criteria decision making techniques. The system is designed for both large-scale and small-scale forestry.

Description

Has description Heureka is a system for long and medium term forestry planning and scenario analysis. It consists of 
several applications: (1) StandWise for stand-level management analysis, (2) PlanWise for forest-level planning, (3) RegWise for regional scenario analysis, (4) PlanEval for multi-criteria deciion analysis to rank plans created in PlanWise and RegWise with one pr more stakeholders, and (5) Habitat Prognosis, a AcGIS-abased application for habitat suitability analysis of a given plan. The system covers the whole decision support process from data inventory to tools for selecting among plan alternatives with multi-criteria decision making techniques. The system is designed for both large-scale and small-scale forestry.

The utilities handled today are timber and bio-fuel production, carbon sequestration, biodiversity, and recreation.
