Summary/Abstract: This paper addresses the characteristics and use of the Geographic Information System (GIS) for quantifying forest lands in Romania and Alba County. Firstly, it presents a characterization of the national forest fund, highlighting its importance and extent throughout the country in the context of environmental conservation and natural resources. The identification of forest lands is analyzed through the utilization of data from the Corine Land Cover (CLC) program, establishing the groundwork for determining the indicator of the percentage of forested areas within the administrative-territorial units (ATUs).
