ABSTRACT : This study presents a forest planning approach using GIS and satellite imagery for the forest managed by the Forest Environment Research Station of Kyeonggi Province in Korea. Compartments were newly delimited on the basis on not only past compartment boundaries and cadastral map. but also the digital forest type map produced using high resolution(4m x 4m) imagery of IKONOS. Several digital thematic map for forest planning such as compartment map , cadastral map, forest road map, soil type map, topographic map were prepared with 1 : 5,000 scale and incorporated into the GIS application system(Forest Management and Planning System) developed using Arc view and A venue. Forest management plans for planting. tending, harvesting, and forest road were performed with the help of the Forest Management and Planning System. Useful statistics and maps coming with forest management and planning could be also easily available from the system.

 

Key words :Forest Management and Planning System, GIS and IKONOS imagery, digital thematic map
