Development of the Information System in Forestry


Summary


The paper deals with the characteristics of the information system (IS)
in forestry its structure, development methods and effects.


The characteristics of IS in forestry and the forms of its use depend on
the achievements of the information science and their application in forestry
as well as on the natural laws in forestry.


The development of forestry IS has unjustly started late when copared to
other activities, which is a common phenomenon in most countries. The reason
for the lag is a relatively low education related to the information science of
the forestry staff and inertia-caused resistance to inovation.


An organized development of IS in forestry is a complex and long-term job
requiring experts in information science and forestry who are the immediate
users of the system they create. It is necessary to make a conceptual and realization
project whose aims, development concept, tasks and financial resources
ought to be well defined, real and harmonized with the requirements
of forestry. In the development of the information system it is posible to apply
a centralized, decentralized and distributed data processing. The integrity of
the forestry IS is achieved through standardized databases, hardware network
and programme support.


The effects o using developed forestry IS can be direct, indirect, measurable
and unmeasurable. The most significant direct measurable effects are lower production
and business costs, more information and their better quality, greater
possibilities of predicting and planning the processes within forestry and their
regulation.


Key words: Information system, IS development, IS effects.
