This book has been developed as a textbook of decision support
methods for s- dents and can also serve as a handbook for practical
foresters. It is based on the research we have carried out and
lectures we have given over the past years. We have set out to
present all the methods in enough details and examples that they
can be adopted from this book. For researchers who need more
details, references are given to more advanced scienti c papers and
books. In this book, theories of decision making and the methods
used for forestry - cision support are presented. The book covers
basics of classical utility theory and its fuzzy counterparts,
exact and heuristic optimization method and modern mul- criteria
decision support tools such as AHP or ELECTRE. Possibilities of
analyzing and dealing with uncertainty are also brie y presented.
The use of each method is illustrated with examples. In addition to
decision aid methods, we present the basic theory of participatory
planning. Both hard and soft methods suitable for partici- tory or
group decision analysis are presented, such as problem structuring
method and voting. The criticism towards decision theory is also
covered. Finally, some real-life examples of the methods are
presented. Annika Kangas Department of Forest Resource Management
