Abstract

Forest management is strongly influenced by a suitable road network. This work is aimed to be a technical support for discussing the problem of road conditions in forest management and planning. The study area is the Badia Prataglia’s forest, which is enclosed in the Foreste Casentinesi National Park. Using G.I.S. technology we evaluated the forest accessibility, both for touristic-recreative and service purposes. This work shows the applied methodology, the phases to build a geographical data base and the survey of field data. Results and cartographic printouts are discussed.
