A new method of planning and management of natural resources was used in the Abruzzo region, Italy. The necessity is discussed of territorial planning of forest plantations for production of quality wood in large quantities in short periods of time. Remote sensing and geographical information systems were used in combination with all the available sources of information at regional, municipality and farm levels for the mapping of areas suitable for forest plantations.
