Abstract

With the international and national development of sustainable forest management (SFM) for protecting and conserving all forest functions and its biodiversity, also for improving of human wellbeing who related to forest, some criteria and indicators have been present. We used this tools and hierarchical framework, scoring, ranking, and weighting to assess implemented policies at SFM unit. This study has investigated policy, planning of participatory integrated management at Pachat village and adjacent forests. In our study we achieved the principle score (ps) of 0.32 as one of the SFM principles for the studied area. The same process could be introduced for other SFM units to compare the results, in order to find out how close they are to SFM
