Abstract

Visualization has become a major tool in forest planning and management but it cannot be used alone. Advances in computer graphic capabilities and enhanced functionalities of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have advanced the use of visualization beyond mapping. Visualization itself has become an effective tool for measuring and depicting impacts of management actions, and predicting responses of the forest to different forest operations or intervention strategies. It has been used to evaluate and forecast environmental change. With increased availability and accessibility to the public, it has also become a primary tool for capturing public perceptions through visual interpretations, and in communicating the effects of various management activities. The integration of visualization techniques and spatial data has advanced over the last few years and now constitutes a significant approach in general forest planning and decision making
