Abstract: Given the need to improve the Belarusian forest road networks and the severe constraint on the resources needed to plan these improvements, it isimportant to target these efforts based upon the available information. Previous research based on existing forest compartment and road network data produced the concept of a methodological study of forest accessibility. This article is devoted to development of the design technique forest road network for effective transport development of woodland in Belarus. The results of this analysis, obtained by use of Geographic Information System (GIS), help the forest manager to allocate efficiently the resourcesto specific forest areas. The results of the analysis are based on data that are easily obtained with GIS. GIS measures of skidding distance, skidding costs and desirable accessibility are included hi the model. Relative accessibility and forest road network efficiency are two important calculated results. The article presents a detailed description of each step of this work.
Keywords: forest roads, location, forest network, road density, transport development of woodland
