| The objectives of this study were to present a model of integer linear programming (IP) to develop the creation of production units (PUs) regulated at the level of exploitable trees and to implement a heuristic method to obtain suboptimal feasible solutions. The studied area is in the municipality of Bujari, AC, Brazil. Using a sustainable forest management (SFM) area of 1,057.41 ha, 4,237 trees were selected for exploration through the census inventory. We applied the p-median model with volume and income restrictions; however, the adaptive heuristics development (AHD) is a random, greedy, and adaptive procedure that forms the PUs optimally. Four scenarios were formulated with a variation of ±10% to ±20% in volume and income values; the simulation was... |
