LEARNING OUTCOMES

Learning Outcomes
Please describe the learning outcomes of the course: Knowledge, skills and abilities acquired after the successful completion of the course.
The course syllabus aims to introduce students to the principles of management and the concepts of forest management, the available planning and analysis tools, the basic characteristics of planning targets and the methods of rational goal selection according to the level of planning. It also refers to the transition from the sustainability principle to sustainable forest management and its consequences on forest management. Finally, the aim of the course is knowledge of the growth patterns of the basic stand forms and the corresponding models of normal (evenaged) forest and un-evenaged forest and the analysis of their application in forest management practice. The course is the basis for the forest management methods described and analyzed in Forest Management II. Upon successful completion of the course, the student will be able to: · He has understood the principles and functions of management, the basic concepts of forest management and the way they are composed in the organization of forest enterprises. · He has knowledge of the tools and techniques of planning and analysis and uses them in the organization and planning of tasks to identify basic elements such as critical path, dependencies and a realistic time schedule. · It is able to distinguish strategic from objective goals and select the appropriate forestry goals for a managed forest, recognizing and assessing the key interactions between goals. · It recognizes the evolution of the sustainability principle over time and distinguishes the impact that the principle of sustainable forest management has brought to the modern management practice. · He recognizes the structural differences of the various stand forms and identifies the basic growth and yield parameters that are necessary for their rational management. · He combines his knowledge to choose the appropriate model of normal forest and apply it, adapting it appropriately, in each case study or actual situation.
