Participatory modelling can be a useful process to encourage critical examination of livelihood options and foster sustainable natural resource use through enhanced social learning, collective action and mobilization. The broom-grass group in the Mafungautsi forest reserve serves as a case study ...

Sustainability in the context of development and forest management is a concept defined by human-beings. As human needs change across space and time, so will the expectations of what benefits and services of forests need to be sustained. Much of CIFOR's research focuses on providing a better unde...


Prabhu, R.Vanclay, J.K.[Pinning down a moving target: sustainability, people and forests]Pinning down a moving target: sustainability, people and forests

This paper describes an integrated framework for assessing the sustainability og managed forests. The framework builds on Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Multiple Criteria Decision Making (MCDM). Sustainability of forests is assessed in terms of Criteria and Indicators (C & I) as propors...


Mendoza, G.A.Prabhu, R.Purnomo, H.[Combining multicriteria decision making and geographic information system for assessing forest sustainability]Combining multicriteria decision making and geographic information system for assessing forest sustainability

This paper presents different models designed to operationalize the principle of forest sustainability. Concepts such as resource or environmental utilization space, carrying capacity and critical thresholds are defined. The paper also describes an application of the qualitative and quantitative ...

Participatory approaches to development in general and natural resource management in particular are now a widely accepted management strategy. Multi-agent system (MAS), a computer-based tool, offers a promising approach for multi-stakeholder management systems such as the case involving communit...


Purnomo, H.Mendoza, G.A.Prabhu, R.Yasmi, Y.[Developing multi-stakeholder forest management scenarios: a multi-agent system simulation approach applied in Indonesia]Developing multi-stakeholder forest management scenarios: a multi-agent system simulation approach applied in Indonesia

This article provides an overview of concepts, models, measures, and dimensions of forest sustainability assessments. The methods described include models that are fully developed and have actually been applied to various application contexts, as well as two normative models, graph theory and cog...

FLORES, the Forest Land Oriented Resurce Envisioning System, is a framework to facilitate quantitative modelling of ecological, economic and social issues at the landscape scale. This special issue of journal describes the evolution of FLORES from a concept to a series of models calibrated for di...
