Forest stands must be evaluated before making zoning or harvest plans. 'lhis paper evaluated the net income of managed sugi Uapanese cedag ClyPtomeria 1'mponica D. DoN) plantations in private forests in a snowy region and classfied sugi plantations according to the prebability of harvesting, using a geographic information system (GIS), in a case study of private forests in Sanpoku Tewn, Niigata Prefecture. The town includes both lew coastal anci mountainous inland areas and the snow depth varies markedly Two transfer points were assumed: a timber market and a local wood-related complex. First, log production was predicted according to site quality, using an existing stand density management diagram, as well as height growth cttrves to ebtain log volumes according te log length and tep diameter class, Gross inceme was estimated from log prices and the predicted log production accerding to site quality Then, the total cost from planting threugh te logging was estimated for standard cenditiens of productivity, necessary workfbrce and wages, using four factors/ site quality} yarding distance, the deepest snow depth and slope angle, The cost of plantation forest management included the regeneration cost for establishing new plantations and the legging cost for final cutting. Forest net income was evaluated fer three cutting ages: short, intermediate and leng rotation. Finally, sugi plantations were classhied accerding to the probability of harvest and the area of each c]ass was obtained using GIS on the assumptien ef present, 10% higher and 10% Iower ]og prices. Site quality was the more impertant factor in sugi plantation management; it was more important than yarding distance or the deepest snow depth. Prices 10% lower than present prices on the Niigata Timber Market were the minimum neces$ary te maintain timber productien frem sugi plantations in private forests, given present costs and $ubsidies, Kbywonts: cutting age, net income, site quality,snow depth,sugi, yarding distance
