International audience In Switzerland, the demand for wood is growing. However, federal policy encourages the protection of forest resources in the country, and the general public considers the social and ecological functions of the forest to be a priority. This article examines the perception of potential conflicts between the functions of forests. It offers solutions to ensure multi-functionality and improve the profitability of forest enterprises. The method used combines a qualitative survey and a poll performed on a representative sample of the Swiss population. Our results show that although conflicts may arise from time to time, there is no general perception of a conflict between logging and other forest functions. This intensification should however be limited to the annual growth of standing timber and be subjected to careful monitoring to prevent any new conflict from occurring. ; En Suisse, la demande de bois croît. Toutefois, la politique fédérale encourage la protection des ressources forestières du pays et le public considère les fonctions sociales et écologiques de la forêt comme prioritaires. Cet article étudie la perception des conflits potentiels entre les fonctions de la forêt. Il propose des solutions pour assurer la multifonctionnalité et améliorer la rentabilité des exploitations forestières. La méthode utilisée combine une enquête qualitative et un sondage représentatif de la population suisse. Nos résultats montrent que, si des conflits peuvent survenir ponctuellement, on ne perçoit généralement pas de conflits entre l'exploitation du bois et les autres fonctions de la forêt. Il existe donc une possibilité d'exploiter davantage le bois suisse sans affaiblir les autres fonctions. Cette intensification devrait cependant se limiter à la croissance annuelle du volume de bois sur pied et faire l'objet d'une observation attentive pour prévenir l'apparition de nouveaux conflits.

The Federal Office for spatial development, together with the Federal office for transport and the Federal office for roads, has created a multimodal transport model for the National passenger transport with a base year 2017.

Transport models are tools to evaluate the consequences of infrastructure projects, to compute the traffic volumes and to predict changes in traffic flows, modal shares and possible bottlenecks in the transport network.

More information (only in German, French and Italian):

Transport modeling is a tool to evaluate the consequences of infrastructure projects, to compute the traffic volumes and to predict changes in traffic flows, modal shares and possible bottlenecks in the transport network.

National transport modeling includes creating base models, to be adapted depending on the usage. The accuracy of base models depends on the national needs. Local, cantonal, regional and urban models are complementary to national transport models and allow differentiated approaches according to territorial specificities.

In collaboration with the Federal Office of Transport FOT and the Federal Roads Office FEDRO, the Federal Office for Spatial Development ARE has created a multimodal base model for passenger traffic for rail and road. Similarly, a national model for goods has recently been created and an aggregate method for freight has been developed.
