Forestry
works have an important work branch in the Eastern Black Sea Region because of
the wealth of forested areas, the multiplicity of forest villages, the intense
forestry activities and the lack of different income sources of forest
villagers. Therefore, forestry activities are one of the main industries for
forest villagers to prevent unemployment and to reduce income imbalance between
different regions. Forestry activities differ from other sectors because of
work difficulty, hard working conditions, limited time, temporary work, low
revenue and legal dimension of work. Harvesting works should be done by forest
villagers in accordance with article 40 of Forest Law. The analysis of the
socio-economic structure of a community is important both in giving photographs
of the current period and in presenting the transformations of working class
dynamics over time. In this study, the relationship between the demographic
features of forest workers and work satisfaction was examined. Within the scope
of the study, a questionnaire including questions about personal
characteristics, family structures, economic incomes and work satisfaction was
applied to the workers. As a result, it was determined that 35.83% of all
workers were between 31 and 40 ages and primary school (35%). In addition,
forest workers had no income sources except for forest (77.5%), and most of the
workers were the livelihoods of their families (81.4%) and working for 6-8
hours. Most of them are satisfied with forest workers (65.83%), and the main
reasons for not being satisfied were determined as low income, lack of social
security and difficult working conditions (18.33%).
