Contribution of the technological engineering and design in the Forest Research Institute to Romanian forestry development

摘要

The paper presents a short history of the technological egineering and invest-ment design in our country and a brief review of their contribution to the sus-tainable development of Romanian forestry. Regarding the forest management planning, which represents the main con-tribution of the technological engineering to the rational management of the fo-rest areas, there are being presented the main characteristics of the forest ma-nagement planning system in Romania and its evolution as principles, bases,methods and forest management plans.The activity of developing the studies and investment projects has had, also,a special importance in the forestry development. The afforestation and ecolo-gical restoration projects, the ones for regulaiton og torrential watersheds andimprovement of degraded lands, for development of tree nurseries, trout farms,pheasant farms, basketry workshops, unit for processing and selling of forestfruits and mushrooms, etc. played an important part in increasing the efficiencyof forest management. Also, the paper presented the present and future priorities of the design depart-ment within the Forest Research and Management Institute
