Abstract

This study establishes evaluation indicators for sustainable forest farm management referring to a large number of literatures on the previous study. Then using AHP-entropy and index weighting method to carry out the forestry sustainable development comprehensive evaluation. The result shows that the comprehensive index of sustainable management was 0.4084 in 2001, while the comprehensive index was 0.7321 in 2011. Ecological sustainable comprehensive index was 0.3552 in 2001, being in a sustainable state, while it was 0.9157 in 2011, being in a fully sustainable state; Sustainable economic index was 0.4570 in 2001, while it was 0.5845 in 2011, being in the weak sustainable state; Social sustainability index was 0.4324 in 2001, being in the weak sustainable state, while it was 0.7210 in 2011, being in the basic sustainable state. The result shows that the evaluation results is consistent with the actual situation, the index system is reasonable, which has certain scientific nature and feasibility.
