In the case ofthe CMTL,the analysis ofthe functions, developed by
local authorities, was conducted separately for each function or
potential attitude: naturalistic, protective, productive, touristic
and recreational, landscape. Function is defined as the establishment
of a forest to provide specific services. Indexes are defined
for each function on the basis of provided goods and services.
Given the indexes, information layers are selected to contribute
to the score that will determine the attitudes of the forest areas.
For example, the conservation of species, habitats and ecological
networks are some of the indexes of naturalistic attitude, in this
case Natural 2000 network is one of the informative layers used:
the presence of a Natural 2000 site in a forest area (in a polygon)
