Economic problems of forest management at current development stage

Abstract

Research of problems of forest management, formation and development of forest management. Clarification of features in the system «management and planning in the field of use, protection and other functions of forests», according to the current Forest code of the Russian Federation and the concept «forest legislation of the Russian Federation based on the principles of sustainable forest management, conservation of their biological diversity and other useful functions of forests». From the point of view of the practice and system of strategic forest management, specific issues regarding forest management objects are highlighted. Analytical method for obtaining information about natural-historical and economic conditions of the area where the forest management object is located.

Based on the theoretical review and analysis presented in the relationship of the system «results-costs», the main directions of development of forest management are determined. Scientific novelty. The scientific novelty consists in defining the concept of competitiveness of forest capital. Achieving competitive advantages is possible on the basis of sustainable development as a factor of ensuring economic stability. The structure of the forest management process includes progressive elements based on a balance between the growth and depletion of natural resources.

Sustainable forest management as a basis for economic security

“…According to professor A.P. Petrov's approach and given his findings [1,2], a most rational direction in increasing competitiveness from the standpoint of sustainable forest management can be provided on the basis of innovative activity study. The keystone of the problem is the economic theory and practice of using innovation resources at the input of the process and the effective parameters of economic development: the theory of accumulation, the theory of reproduction, the theory of economic growth, and the theory of economic trends.…”
