| Has statement | Need flexible analytical tools - no "overdesigned" tool that provides too much features for the use |
| Has evidence | It was decided to develop a highly detailed system in order that it could be used in the most complex forest management planning situations encountered in Ireland. The idea was that in simpler planning cases, the components that were not needed could be ignored. However, based on the most recent feedback from the management companies, the overall complexity of the system is off-putting and managers and consultants are apprehensive about the long learning curve associated with using the system. |
| Has consequences | It assures that a plan obtains a preliminary step on certification process |
| Has recommendation for action | Development of a 'light' version of the DSS, which could be used in 'simple' cases, with the option of users migrating to the detailed version as forest management problems become more complex in a maturing forest estate. |
| Has domain | Models and methods, User interface and outputs |
| Has DSS development stage | Specification, Use |
| Has decision stage | organization |
| Has temporal scale | Long term (strategic) |
| Has spatial context | Spatial with neighbourhood interrelations |
| Has spatial scale | Regional/national level |
| Has objectives dimension | Multiple objectives |
| Has goods and services dimension | Market services, Non-market services |
| Has decision making dimension | More than one decision maker/stakeholder |
| Has country | Germany |
| Has reference | |
| Has related DSS | PYL |
| Has related case | Germany-Using GISCAME to test alternative land-use scenarios under climate change in the Upper Elbe Valley |
| Has related lesson | |
| Has other relevant information | This requirement depends on the problem statement; some problems can be solved without neighbourhood interrelations. Some problems with neighbourhood interrelations, such as demanding a large area of interior conditions (no edge effects) tend to be large combinatorial problems. |
| Has working group theme | Dss development process, Models & techniques |
