Russian Forest

Russia owns one-fifth of the world’s forest-covered area but has never been the leader of the global forest sector nor in gross output or relative productivity. The issues of the Russian forest sector have attracted research attention, but for many topics, this is still a green field on the map of sectoral studies. We developed a novel approach to understand the primary causes of the inefficiency of the Russian forest policy through the qualitative assessment of completeness and reliability of forest sector-related data. The main output of this paper is a thorough overview of the available sources of data with an assessment of their quality, completeness and reliability. We show that the Russian official forest sector statistics provide only basic indicators for very short periods with few observations being incomplete and inconsistent. Besides a critical analysis of the official statistics, we also discover some known, but still underemployed, resources of information on the Russian forest sector: textual information of official public bodies and companies, accounting records, remote-sensing data, etc. Finally, we discuss the possible ways to improve the data procurement of the forest sector in Russia to support future decision-making. We are convinced that a prerequisite for the implementation of effective forest policy in Russia is a significant expansion and improvement of the volume and quality of statistics on the dynamics of Russian forests and forest economy. Integration of existing and new data sources is necessary to achieve synergistic effects, both in terms of deepening the understanding of key business processes in the industry and in the sense of solving strategic tasks of its development.

Russian Forest

The Russian forest sector is running down. To remedy the situation, a strategy for developing the forest sector of the Russian Federation until 2030 was developed. The strategy basically repeats the mistakes of various concepts, strategies and programs developed in recent years for the Russian Federation as a whole and its subjects.Essentially, these documents are aimed at developing the forest industry, i.e. use of wood. The strategy analysis shows the unsatisfactory nature of this document, as it is based on the provisions of the detrimental Forest Code of 2006.The strategy primary error is underresourcedplanned indicators of forest products export and domestic consumption of wood raw materials. The strategy does not fix problem of forestry financing under a market economy. Based only on wood accounting, forest evaluationsare counterproductive for the forest sector, as they underestimate the value of forest areas, which are of great environmental and social importance. Further development of the forest sector will largely depend on the ability of the Federationto dialog withits subjects, forest companies and enterprises, scientific and public organizations in the field of forest policy and practice.

Annual review of Swiss forest policy 2014 Swiss forest policy in 2014 was marked by the passage of the Federal Council's message and draft of an amendment of the Forest Law, which was also treated by the Council of State's Commission for Environment, Spatial Planning and Energy and by the Council of State itself. This revision affects more than 20 articles of the current Forest Law. Despite these numerous alterations, the revision has not caused major debates. The forest-relevant parliamentary interventions decreased drastically in 2014, but since the beginning of 2015 a countertrend is notable. The forest budget remained practically the same as in previous years. The number of federal court decisions in relation to the forest sector has stayed small. Yet there are increasingly significant cantonal court decisions in this domain. In terms of broader forest policy, the public administration has mainly undertaken new standpoints regarding spatial planning and energy policies.

Base Application

On the basis of the electronic components business processes and the analysis of the quality data related, a model based on the object entity of the product life cycle is proposed. Object entity as the carrier of the related data this model mergers and reorganizes the related business, meanwhile links the entity through the revolved information of the quality data model thus achieving the integrity of the business in both time and space. This data model as the basis, can effectively realize the integration and sharing of quality data, facilitates the quality data analysis and quality traceability, and improve the capabilities of quality data management for the enterprise.

Conflicting Objectives

Operation strategy plays an important role in business improvement and calls for many research attention in recent years. This study aims to propose an integrated approach to determine the most appropriate operational strategies in their companies under multi-conflicting objectives with a limited budget. The novel approach is developed by using the combination of Fuzzy Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Situation (Fuzzy TOPSIS), Sensitivity Analysis (SA) and Multi-Objective Linear Programming (MOLP) model. The operation strategies are evaluated through five objectives such as Productivity, Quality, Cost, Time and Importance score. The importance scores of all strategies are firstly obtained from the Fuzzy TOPSIS method. The sets of the weight of criteria are then established by using SA while MOLP approach is used to select appropriate strategies under multi-conflicting objectives with limited resources. A case study with 110 possible scenarios of operational strategies from An Giang Fisheries Import Export Joint Stock Company in Vietnam is considered to illustrate the practicability of the proposed approach. The results found that the proposed approach is suitable to make a decision on operation strategy.

The Impact

The paper considers the directions of development of the region of the forestry sector of low-forest use on the example of the Voronezh region, highlights the factors and conditions for sustainable development and regional forest policy, principles, principles of compatibility of the compatibility of the use of forest resources in one area. It is emphasized that for sparsely wooded regions it is advisable to conduct economic activities within the framework of public-private partnerships associated with ensuring the protection and protection of forests, afforestation and reforestation, that is, activities related to the creation of a resource region. It is noted that the non-resource use of forests due to the disclosure of the recreational potential of the territory contributes not only to the development of the regional economy, but also satisfies the population's need for recreation, allowing to restore the lost working capacity. Forest plots from the lands of the forest fund of the Voronezh region in 2018-2020 were provided for permanent (unlimited) use, rent, free fixed-term use. The analysis showed an increase in the number of contracts for the implementation of recreational activities, construction, reconstruction, operation of linear objects, as well as hunting. With the aim of a balanced use of forest resources, taking into account the impact on the development of the regional economy, the criteria for choosing a priority direction of forest use were determined.

The problems of the forest sector identified by many researchers are primarily related to the quality of institutions and the lack of effective institutional relations in the industry, according to the authors’ opinion. The results presented in the article, which prove the existence of a causal relationship between the qualitative characteristics of institutions and institutional relations and economic results, are shown for the first time in the case of the forest industry. In order to achieve the objective, the economic interrelations between forest industry entities are analyzed in the context of their institutional environment. It is revealed that the existing institutional structure of the industry supports the conflict of incentives between the owner (state) and the user (tenant) of forest land. The theoretical aspects of the specification of property rights, minimization of transaction costs and costs of contractual relations in the Russian forest industry to increase its economic efficiency are investigated. The transformation of Russian forest industry institutions should be based on the comparative advantages of existing institutions, economic models of successful forest management, objective institutional and economic indicators of sustainable growth, such as the specification of property rights and the minimization of specific transaction costs.
