Empowering Forestry Decisions with ONEforest's Multi-Criteria Decision Support System (MCDSS)
The Multi-Criteria Decision Support System (MCDSS) from ONEforest is an innovative tool designed to help forestry stakeholders make informed, long-term strategic decisions tailored to their specific objectives.
By employing a weighted-sum approach, the system harmonizes the diverse interests of multiple stakeholders, ensuring that solutions align with both individual and collective goals.
MCDSS enables users to cultivate resilient forest production systems, promote collaborative management, and contribute to sustainable development goals.
The platform provides stakeholders with a comprehensive understanding of the far-reaching impacts of their decisions in a multi-criteria decision-making environment.
Key Features:
- Simulate & Optimize: Users can easily replicate their forest area using representative stands, define objectives, and prioritize them according to their significance.
- Set Targets & Constraints: The system allows for the customization of indicators and the setting of hard constraints to guide the decision-making process.
- Choose Scenarios: Users can choose from four predefined scenarios with preset objectives and weights or load complete stands from various case study regions.
- Actionable Insights: The system provides tailored recommendations for management options, mapped directly to specific cells within the forest area.
Accessible to all, ONEforest's MCDSS utilizes the open-source solver HiGHS, making it freely available for users.
