Application of relax-and-fix heuristic in the aggregation of stands for tactical forest scheduling

The publication addresses the problematic issues of the regional forestry planning. The object of research is the forest sector of the Sverdlovsk region. The subject of research is the mechanism of regional forestry planning. The purpose of the work is to describe the current mechanism of regional forest planning and make individual proposals to improve its functioning. One decade of experience in applying the first forestry plans of the subjects of the Russian Federation have shown their failure. The new forestry plans, developed in the subjects of the Russian Federation using a unified methodology for the period from 2018 to 2029, do not inspire optimism either. The main reasons for the failure of forestry plans are the lack of a scientific concept and the usage of a forest management approach in their development. The conclusions are drawn on a number of organizational and methodological problems associated with the development and implementation of the existing regional forestry planning mechanism, as well as on the need to develop an up-to-date scientifically proven methodological basis for planning in the forest sector at the regional level.
