Abstract

This paper examines a new approach to forest accessibility planning based on a GIS road development algorithm and some topographically derived indices. The aim of the paper is to propose and validate a method of assessing forest accessibility introducing an ecological approach, based on morphological impact. For the case study, both cartographic material (DEM) and measured items (existing road network) were used in applying the method. The case study offered the data and possibility to analyze, compare and take into consideration the ecological impact on planning forest accessibility.
