Abstract

The article emphasizes the relevance of the research topic related to the digitalization of the forestry complex, the new stage of which was the development and implementation of FGIS LC. The object of the study is the process of implementation of FGIS LK in the Arkhangelsk region. The purpose of the study is to conduct an in-depth analysis and study of the results of the implementation of FSIS LC in the Arkhangelsk region as a pilot project. During the work, analytical materials, reports of specialized institutions and scientific articles on this topic were studied. The study used both qualitative and quantitative methods. Qualitative methods included observation, interviews, professional assessments, and testing. Quantitative methods such as questionnaires and monitoring were used in combination with these. To analyse various sources of information, methods of analysis and synthesis, comparison, as well as an empirical approach were used. The results of the study include an analysis of foreign information systems and services for forest accounting, timber harvesting, as well as an assessment of the architecture, structure and functionality of FGIS LC, as well as an analysis of the implementation process of FGIS LC in the Arkhangelsk region. Expert discussions with professionals on the implementation of FSIS LC in the Arkhangelsk region made it possible to identify a number of main errors and ways to solve them. Testing the functionality of FGIS LC in the Arkhangelsk region is focused on solving key issues that require refinement and improvement of the system. An analysis of the experience of implementing FGIS LC in the Arkhangelsk region revealed the best practices and difficulties of working with this system. Such analysis is necessary, as it helps to optimize processes in the activities of enterprises and government agencies.
