Economic Development Prospects of Forest‐Dependent Communities: Analyzing Trade‐offs Using a Compromise‐Fuzzy Programming Framework
使用多目标规划方法，分析森林依赖型社区在就业、木材供应、社区稳定和经济多元化之间的冲突目标，发现妥协模糊规划比传统经验法则更能改善经济发展结果，但木材开采不足以驱动农村社区发展。
Abstract Many aboriginal communities look to forest resources for short‐ and long‐term employment, adequate timber for mills, an even flow of wood fiber for community stability, and financial returns for economic diversification. We address these conflicting objectives using multiple‐objective programming. We show how compromise programming can be used to set bounds on fuzzy membership functions, and illustrate the difference between crisp and fuzzy weighting of objectives. Economic development outcomes obtained using compromise and fuzzy programming greatly improve upon those associated with the even‐flow of timber rule of thumb. Yet, timber extraction is an inadequate driver of economic development in rural communities.
