Abstract

This research addresses the subject of cross-country terrain path finding using forest inventory route planning as a case study. Although the subject is closely related to the key concepts of geography, so far it has not been studied in academic geography in any significant extent. Accordingly, an additional motive for the research is to attempt to raise the importance of terrain path finding within the domain of academic geography and GIS. The research also strives to develop GIS-based methods that would be particularly useful in applications related to the environment, conditions and industries of the North and periphery.
