WISDOM is a spatially-explicit method designed to support strategic wood energy planning and policy formulation, through the integration and analysis of existing woodfuel demand and supply related information and indicators. The Slovenia WISDOM analysis was based on 2696 Cadastral Communities (KO, from Katastrske Obþine), which represent the Slovenian territorial structure and a serve as reference for both forestry and demographic statistics. A cartographic layer was added to illustrate the distribution of some 6000 human settlements providing basic demographic data. The integration and elaboration, at KO level, of data from existing statistics (forestry, census, land use, etc.) and from the new survey on woody biomass outside forests, resulted in a rich data set of over 100 parameters related to woodfuel consumption and supply.
