Type and quality of soils, as a natural resource, plays a crucial role in the growth and evolvement of plants, and therefore also on different tree species. However, certain pedogenetic factors have greater or lesser impacts on suitability for the growth and development of certain tree (forest) congregation. Natural potentials, which together with soil play an important role, both in the creation of soil and as basic elements of the environment, are relief, climate and vegetation. These elements are key to land-use planning based on sustainable development. The paper survey evaluation of natural potentials: relief, climate, soils and vegetation cover, for the needs of forestry development in the part of the Municipality of Pale (the mountain area of Ravna Mountain and its foothill Pale Valley) in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Using rating method and the AHP method in combination with GIS techniques, maps were obtained for eight analysed criteria of previously mentioned natural potentials. The result of the work is a synthesis map obtained on suitability maps of each of the eight criteria. With this map we have qualitatively identified areas that, in terms of natural potentials, provide the most optimal conditions for the growth and development of certain types of trees. In the evaluation process, were determinate eliminatory areas which are exempt from evaluation, due to primary function settlement, infrastructure, but also areas contaminated by land mines, as well as due to the specificity of physical-geographical features of the area.
