This paper describe the use of multiple criteria decision tools for assessing criteria and indicators designed to evaluate sustainable forest management. Three techniques called ranking, rating, and pairwise comparisons are described and used within the framework of a generic set of criteria and ...


Mendoza, G.A.Prabhu, R.[Multiple criteria decision making approaches to assessing forest sustainability using criteria and indicators: a case study]Multiple criteria decision making approaches to assessing forest sustainability using criteria and indicators: a case study

This paper describes the general concepts, meaning, and definitions of sustainability and proposes the use of soft methodologies, particularly fuzzy set theory, for its assessment. Basic elements and concepts of fuzzy sets are described, including membership functions and their interpretations in...


Mendoza, G.A.Prabhu, R.[Fuzzy methods for assessing criteria and indicators of sustainable forest management]Fuzzy methods for assessing criteria and indicators of sustainable forest management

Assessing the performance of management is central to natural resource management, in terms of improving the efficiency of interventions in an adaptive-learning cycle. This is not simple, given that such systems generally have multiple scales of interaction and response; high frequency of non-lin...

This paper describes an application of multiple criteria analysis (MCA) in assessing criteria and indicators adapted for a particular forest management unit. The methods include: ranking, rating, and pairwise comparisons. These methods were used in a participatory decision-making environment wher...


Mendoza, G.A.Prabhu, R.[Development of a methodology for selecting criteria and indicators of sustainable forest management: a case study on participatory assessment]Development of a methodology for selecting criteria and indicators of sustainable forest management: a case study on participatory assessment

Criteria and indicators (C&I) for sustainable resource management were generated under a facilitated community-driven approach where villagers took active roles, not only in the generation of the indicators but also in their subsequent assessment. The general procedure followed a two-stage proces...

This paper describes an application of multi-criteria analysis (MCA) in evaluating and selecting criteria and indicators (C&I) of forest sustainability. The method was applied on a case study involving a forest area managed under the Community-Based Forest Management System of the Department of E...

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 ...
