Abstract

One of timber harvesting purposes is moving wood from the forest to sawmills. Road network planning requires consideration for alternatives. This paper purposed to determine decision-making in the selection of alternative road networks with utility analysis by considering economic, ecological, and social criteria. The indicator used were the length of the road, open area, cost of road construction, felling, skidding, and empowerment of forest communities. The analysis showed that the first alternative was the best forest road network of the three alternatives designed. The results are used in the decision-making plan for implementation in the next rotation.
