Importance The article deals with the forest management based on the principles of sustainable development and balance between environmental and socio-economic significance of forests. I study the use of forests and their territorial mix resulting from the natural and socio-economic factors.
     Objectives The goal is to form a unified conception through the regions of Siberia on the contemporary structure, significance, characteristics and prospects of use of forests, which are for regions of the Russian Federation, one of the sources of economic and environmental well-being. The main tasks are to collect, compile and interpret information; develop a common system of criteria and indicators; evaluate the use of forests; form an information database and map the results.
     Methods To allocate the forest management zones and for cartographic modeling, I used methods of functional zoning.
     Results As a result of the comparative-geographical analysis, I identified territorial peculiarities of the development of forest management. I have analyzed the main uses of the forests of Siberia. I assessed the usage of the areas of forest management, the priority development of its main types, and defined the forest management types' future development. I used the MapInfo environment mapping to create a small-scale estimate map on a geographical basis. I determined seven major types of long-term forest management. The forest management plan for each zone is characterized by an individual combination of the types, one of which is the principal one. The timber and recreation and environmental types of long-term forest management have the greatest value in most zones.
     Relevance The results of this research can be applied in any regional studies, as well as in the formulation of interregional programs on development of territories and forest complex of Siberia. In addition, they may serve for a large-scale study to review the level of conditions, trends and prospects for the development of activities in specific wooded sections.

Keywords: forest region, forest management, area, types, long-term, intensity, regional studies, priority, regional mapping
