Development of a decision support system for the protection of forests and natural environment from human made hazards

Abstract

The reason for this paper was the development of a Decision Support System (DSS) which will help managers in the protection of forests and natural environment from human made disasters. In detail the presented application was developed for the study of an area after the occurrence of a forest fire. The application was developed with a modular structure which provides it with the versatility needed in order to be easily upgraded in the future for supporting more natural disasters. For the study of the area the DSS supports the survey of it with the use of maps and the creation of digital shape files. Additionally the application analyses soil data, meteorological data, forestry data, erosion data, topographic and biological data. The results are presented to the user in the form of tables which suggest the forest species that should be used for reforestation. The data are also assigned with weights in order to assess the situation on the burned area and create what-if scenarios. Moreove ...
