Résumé : The present report is the result of 6 months study realized for the first phase of preliminary assessment of the "Forestry GIS project". The project is a collaboration between Innoprise Corporation and CIRAD-forêt for the implementation of a Geographic Information System on the Yayasan Sabah concession. The study concentrates first on a "preliminary assessment prior to the GIS implementation". Three main areas of activities should be covered by the GIS : Primary forest, Secondary forest and Plantation. ICSB needs more particularly a system to gather and display up-to-date information, and to produce maps easily and quickly. A need of demonstration has also been raised. According to the forest activities of the concession and the needs, 8 main objectives are proposed: 1 Demo to present the concession and its activities, 2 Demo on a Reduce Impact Logging project, 3 Concession progress consultation, 4 Road network management, 5 Preparation of coupe in Primary forest , 6 Logged-over forest management, 7 Plantation management, 8 Support to research The description of the data available and their quality allow to foresee the possible technical difficulties of implementation. The GIS should be organized from a main system based in the headquarter of Innoprise and monitored by an independent GIS team. Two other modules, more or less independent from the main system, could be developed later according to the equipment available: an Executive Information System to be handled by senior management for the purpose of demonstration and fast progress consultation, and a localized GIS for local management such as for Rattan plantation in Luasong. For a first step of implementation, a solution with 2 PC 486 has been proposed. However, upgrading the system to workstation is desirable for a GIS on the whole concession. Moreover, satellite imagery should be a very interesting source of data for the system and must be envisaged later. Two pilot areas have been chosen to start the project on small scale: The Luasong project area and The Ulu Segama Forest Reserve. In the chapter "detailed information for the pilot project", the study proposes 6 objectives with expected outputs and gives the detail of the necessary data to be captured. Finally, the study proposes a planning of implementation for the pilot project that should be achieved quickly, between 6 months to 1 year.
