Abstract
The development of the framework for criteria and indicators can provide the basis used in management and science, And it is also the concrete action for practicing the sustainable forest management (SFM). The study was proposed to establish the criteria and indicators of ecosystem management for Liouquei Experimental Forest at the level of forest management unit (FMU).
In order to solve the situation of indefiniteness and uneasy to quantify, the method “fuzzy multicriteria decision making, Fuzzy MCDM) was used for analysis, the results are as follows:
The study calculate the grade of membership and membership function value between 48 indicators and 12 important degrees. The fuzzy synthetic decision was applied to evaluate the priority of indicators: the first three are「richness and diversity of species」、「area and percentage of forest types and ages」 and 「stream volume」separately. The last three are 「forest concession」、「interaction frequency between units」 and 「forest labor analysis」. At last, the sensitivity analysis was used to evaluated the weight change of indicators.
