Improvement of the methodology for the transport infrastructure assessment in the system economic revenue assessment of woody forest resources

The article is devoted to the description of key areas for improving the methodology for assessing the transport infrastructure of the forest area. The paper presents a step-by-step algorithm for calculating and determining the basic elements of the transport infrastructure analysis of the forest area. Within the framework of the developed approach, the necessity to switch from the calculation of charge rates based on measuring distances to the direct calculation of the costs of delivering wood logs from the logging site to the customer's storage (woodworking enterprises) is substantiated by replacing the approach by «distance» in determining the charge rates to the approach by «cost» of round wood delivery. Analyzing the domestic system of economic evaluation of wood forest resources, the authors provide arguments about the inconsistency of the operating system, showing its key shortcomings. The basis of the presented research results is the model of analysis of the transport component in the system of assessing the economic revenue of woody forest resources...
