The aim of the paper is to model felling planning process using GIS data. Regularities, development opportunities and the relationship between the environment and the processes of society, which previously could not be seen, using GIS techniques can now be seen and also provided. GIS is used for different types of challenges: the efficient use and search of natural resources, territorial and industrial planning, monitoring of living conditions, social care, science and education, mapping and other. The main GIS-oriented databases difference from conventional databases is their attachment to the real world coordinates. The success of felling development is based on planning, as well as any other activity. The quality of this planning will affect the quality of stand after felling, labour productivity and the cost, preservation of nature objects and public places, which are located near to felling place. Felling planning is a laborious process, which is followed within several regulations described in the laws. The essential part of process is to plan structure of exporting roads, using all geographical restrictions. To plan the felling development effectively, the logger must survey felling’s surrounding. It is necessary to assess the environmental risks and set up a professional technological map. Author’s recent studies in felling processes show that developing felling at first it is necessary to carry out its analysis using geographic data. For this purpose felling planning support process is modelled there. In the future such modelling of the process is going to help developers and others to plan felling effectively as well as it could significantly enhance this process.
