The AHP Solution
Priorities of the alternative management strategies for maximization of
economic outcome from timber oroduction on sustainable basis were determined
using the ratios of moiey units (see Table 2). For both components
of sub-utility obtained from timber production, ratios of money units
were scaled up to sum up to one, as required by the AHP technique.
Relative importance of the economic decision attributes were determined
by the planning staff of INHUTANI 111 Company:
where ECON(i) is the relative local priority of implementation of strategy
i with respect to economic outcome; p(i-short) is the local priority of
strategy i with respect to the net income during the first 10-year period
from 1990 on; andp(i-sust) is the priority of strategy i with respect to the
net monetary value of the standing crop at the end of the planning period
(year 2025). The priorities of management strategies with respect to ecoTABLE

each of the qualitativelv assessed criteria is indicated bv the number of " - "
