Abstract
In Slovenia, the monitoring of sustainable forest management (SFM) and the process of a national forest programme (NFPs) are not carried out systematically and transparently. With the aim of establishing a common system of indicators for SFM and for the process of NFP. The project proposal encopmasses  5 tasks. The aim of the first task will be to study the differences between the indicators of SFM and the targets and indicators laid down in the resolution on the NFP. Within the second task a proposal of harmonized indicators for monitoing SFM and the implementation of NFP will be designed. Moreover, the list of harmonized indicators will be complemented by specific (national) indicators. The third task will encompass the design of methods for computing the target/reference values of indicators. In addition, the GAP analysis that will help uncover the discrepancies between the information needs and the available data will be carried out. The last task will tailor a proposal of the participatory process, under which the current resolution on the NFP will develop into the process of NFP.
Significance for science
Although Slovenian Forestry is a great proponent of sustainable forest management (SFM), which includes ecosystem management and multifunctional use of forestlands, it has difficulties with a transparent and systematic implementation of SFM and the process of national forest program. A harmonized and updated system of indicators, originating from the resoltion on NFP which will be the result of this project, and of the ongoing project V4-1421 (finished next year), will certainly contribute to a better and more transparent implementation of the NFP and SFM. At the same time the updated system will be a great challenge for the whole forest sector and for the country. Qualitative analysis of such data will be the basis for the creation of inter-sectoral policies and for the identification and monitoring of strategic objectives and measures, relevant for the development of forests, the environment and sustainable development of the society as a whole. The quality data will also contribute to the scientific excellence in Slovenia. With such data the scientific community will be able to participate in researches dealing with forest development, environmental changes, change dynamics and in modeling the scenarios of future development. Also important for Slovene society will be the launch of the process of NFP. Not only will it be an interesting project from the sociological point of view (study of coalitions, the effects of concensus on the objectives), the process will also be a driving force for meeting the objectives and for modernization of the profession.
Significance for the country
Reports from other countries on the state of forests and SFM suggest that the reports are considered important sources of information for the economy. The analysis of the state and the development of forests are an integral part of the European forest policy processes such as Forest Europe and cohesion policy (ERDF) both promoting a green economy. The system of indicators also fully supports the certification scheme, which has a direct influence on the economic efficiency of forestry (certified wood, the more potential for sales and a better price). Monitoring SFM and transparent reporting on the implementation of NFP will also help develop the profession and the domestic economy. Additionally, data on SFM may also act as early warning systems. In the case of deregulation of the forestry sector, reports on SFM and NFP will be sources of economic policy and will assist in preparing conditions for entrepreneurial niches in the areas of forestry (forest management support buros), wood industry, ecotourism, ecosystem services, marketing, etc. It is a realistic expectation that the implementation of NFP will increase the efficiency of Slovenian forestry as a whole (increased realization of forest plans, etc.).
