Abstract
Land consolidation in forest areas constantly appears in all forest areas where the ownership is distributed between the state and the private owners. The managers face the hard problem of taking decisions combining multiple criteria, which do not integrate the various aspects into one indicator. This article summarizes the main characteristics and features of forest land areas under consolidation that can be involved in one criterion to support the decision-making. The aim of the current study is to propose a managerial approach suitable to support multi-criteria decision processes based on the technical efficiency of the forest territories when consolidation is being undertaken. The approach implemented here is a non-parametric Data Envelopment Analysis that is quite appropriate for the technical efficiency estimation of forest areas being consolidated. The main results reveal that the quality of the current forests standing on the purchased areas is not the main benefit, but the quality of habitats.
