The aim of this paper is to examine if hydrological function of forest is preserved in Paljanska Miljacka watershed area on Jahorina mountain in central Bosnia. Here is applied GIS modeling according to adapted Slovenian methodology (Ferreira et al. 2007). GIS modeling is based on intersection of internal (forest stand structure, canopy, management regime) and external (slope terrain, erodibility, porosity) factors resulting with maps of hydrological needs and forest capacity to maintain hydrological function. Joint map presents areas with different degrees of hydrological conditions. Resulting map for forested watershed area of Paljanska Miljacka showed large area with emphasized hydrological function while in neighborhood commercial forests several stands are assigned as areas of high risk in hydrological sense. This research provides methodology adaptable for forest management plans which could strength environmental protection as integral part of sustainable forest management planning.
