Basic transformations in social environmental concerns, in the structure of management problems, and in the tools to approach these problems have rendered conventional monolithic modelling approaches difficult, costly, and of little relevance to resolving today's emerging problems in forest management. This publication presents proceedings of a workshop addressing hierarchical planning in forest management, involving the use of integrated systems of small models that can be linked with each other. Topics of workshop papers include hierarchical planning in forest resource management and in the forest products industry; tactical level harvest scheduling; policy analysis models; resource allocation mechanism design; applications of hierarchical forest planning; analysis of old-growth designations; incorporating wildlife objectives into forest planning; decision support systems; and data and decision aggregation processes.
