• Ownership structure of forests:
– 53% state forests
– 47% private forests

5. • Forest roads are classified into two categories
(Official Gazete RS 22/1998):
– Basic (primary) network:
• forest roads with gravel surface
(hard roads)
• forest roads with earth surface
(soft roads),
– Additional (secondary) network:
• tractor roads – skid trails

6. • Primary forest roads are permanent infrastructural objects and Main
(operational) projects are necessary for their construction.
• Secondary forest roads are
temporary roads and they
are built for the needs of
production (tree cutting, wood
processing, hauling)

– PE “Srbijašume” – 7.23 m/ha
– PE “Vojvodinašume” – 5.30 m/ha

9. • minimum radius in horizontal curves - 20 m (except in serpentines -
12 m),
• minimum carriageway width - 3,0 m for single-lane roads and 5,0 m for
double-lane roads (required extension of carriageway in curves of radius
of less than 70 m),
• minimum shoulder width - by 1 m on both sides,
• maximum longitudinal slope - 10% (exceptionally 12% on short
distances),
• minimum radius in vertical curves - for convex curves - 600 m and for
concave curves - 400 m,
• passing places – every 300 - 500 m on single-lane roads

10. • Compartments are square shaped
(750 x 750 m) or rectangular shaped
(750 x 450 m).
• Distance between main skid trails is 60 m,
and 150 m between auxiliary skid trails.
• Auxiliary skid trails are perpendicular to
the main skid trail.

– valley roads --------------
– slope roads --------------
– ridge roads --------------
• Spatial distribution of primary and secondary forest roads depend of
terrain configuration.

20. • The network of forest roads is
adjusted to the purpose of an
area.
• Determining the future routes is
by the method of variants.
• Route selection is conducted on
the basis of economically
justified and environmentally
friendly principles.
• During the planning of forest roads networks, modern tools such as GIS,
are used, but without multi-criteria decision-making.

21. • Forest road design – direct method of
projecting forest roads – all phases are
conducted in field
• The content of Main project:
– Topographic maps,
– Plan (Situation)
– Longitudinal profil
– Cross sections
– Bill of quantities
– Preliminary calculation...

23. • Projects of forest roads and short-span wooden bridges can be done by
forest engineers.
• Education – there is only one Faculty of Forestry in Serbia.
• Forest roads design and short-span bridges designing are studied
through four subjects in Undergraduate and Master studies.

24. • The average cost of road construction:
– for forest roads in mountainous areas – 35,000 €/km
– for forest roads in lowland areas – 60,000 €/km
• Construction of forest roads:
– with own machinery
– selection of contractors through public procurement.

25. • POSITIVE FACTORS:
• Ministry of agriculture and environment co-financed the construction
and reconstruction of forest roads and bridges on forest roads:
– 15,000 € for construction of new forest roads,
– 12,000 € for reconstruction of old roads with low technical standards ,
– 700 €/m for bridges on forest roads.
• There is interest in the improvement of the state of forest roads in all
structures (government, public enterprises, private forest owners...)
• National and international projects provide support to forest road
network development
– the lastest project: Assistance for the development of forest infrastructure
planning and construction in Serbia – FAO – 2014-2015. 25

26. • NEGATIVE FACTORS:
• There are no licenses for the designers of forest roads.
• There aren't Programs of forest opening for many management units.
• Public enterprises do not have sufficient technical equipment.
• Small investments in the maintenance of forest roads.
