Description

To determine how to mutually use the forest information utilizing the forest geographic information system (GIS) and solve the problem of integrating it, I conducted a questionnaire survey to determine the operative situation of forest GIS among metropolises, districts and forest administration bureaus nationwide amid demands for increased production of domestic lumber via premeditated material production. Consequently, it emerged that integrated computer systems at an early stage would be difficult, given differences in the system and software of the forest GIS which I managed as well as varying numbers of data items. It is thought that the organization and short-term personnel changes affect personnel training to operate GIS. With regard to the exchange of information with external organizations, there were still cities, towns, villages and forestry owner associations which had yet to install forest GIS, but the low budget involved meant system development was considered feasible. I believe the analytical function of GIS was not used very much. It is because it does not accumulate topography data and road line data in order to decide production method by condition of stand, road, and topography. I suggest that we push forward progressively with sharing of forest GIS data and mutual use of GIS between private and national forests.
