Abstract
A GIS based decision support system for eucalypt cultivation and management was developed. The system can help farmers make decision in planting suitability, eucalypt variety selection, planting scheme making etc. The system can also make an economic evaluation for the selected variety so that users can make decision to plant or not. The system supports two groups of users which are eucalypt farmers who cultivate eucalypt in a small scale and forest farms who cultivate eucalypt in a relatively large scale.
