The influence of forest roads building and maintenance costs on their optimum density in low-lying forests of Croatia

The problem of building forest roads in low-lying forests relates to the distance between the forest roads and their building and maintenance costs. The optimal density of a forest road network in low-lying stands was calculated on the terrain according to known models. The model of minimum total costs (according to Sabadi) applied to the management unit Šiljakovačka Dubrava II; the classification of the forest road network was done on the terrain, the existing conditions for the opening-up of forests through a forest road network were recorded, an analysis of costs was made according to the type of roads, building method and maintenance financing in the public enterprise Hrvatske šume, forest management authority of Velika Gorica; optimum road density for the opening-up of forests in this management unit was calculated; and advantages and disadvantages of optimization of opening this forest area were critically analysed according to the above-mentioned theoretical model.
