Localizing is the second step of the three-step-model of decision-making in forest technology. The first step is functionalizing and the third one is individualizing.
The second step checks for any local constraints to their deployment and leads to the exclusion of non-compatible options. The criteria are the economic suitability for the company (effectiveness and efficiency), the ecological suitability for the local environment (ecological compatibility and eco-efficiency), and the social suitability for the local population (societal compatibility and ergonomics).
