Selecting Criteria and Indicators, and Applicability of Multi-purpose Monitoring System

Abstract

In that the interest in the sustainable forest management rises, the integration of objective forest resource information and the nationwide information service become important. Also, forest resource inventory is reconsidered as the basic information for the purpose of conservation of the forest environments and biodiversity, and mitigation of the global warming by, for example, the forest sink project. It was shown that the accumulation of the data and the cross-check are important especially after surveying and reviewing the characteristics of the previous forest inventory regarding the design of the multipurpose permanent monitoring system.
