Abstract
The contribution — a position paper — is concentrated on an interdisciplinary approach to a solution of the problem of better utilization of Central European forests for structural raw material and value added products. An experience from the Czech Republic is utilized to stress the complexity of problems, especially their dependency on technological, scientific, political, social and economical characteristics as well as historical backgrounds and structural design philosophy.
