Determining Priorities of the Potential Reforestation Areas Using Geographical Information Systems with Special Reference to Kahta State Forest Administration
Abstract
This study was conducted to indentify the
priority reforestation areas that mainly for sediment and erosion control in
Kahta- Adıyaman forest management planning unit, which take part in the basin that feeds the Atatürk dam using
Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and Remote Sensing (UA) technologies. All
the maps were digitalized using by Arc/Info 10.1TM software and
digitalizing was conducted on the screen at precision of 1/1250–1/1500. The maps of treeless forest areas (OT), elevation zones, settlement areas and
roads, slopes were prepared by a precision of 10×10 m and analized in
subcompartment level. According to the results, each compartment was allocated a
value between minimum of 5 and maximum of 25.
By grouping these values in itself, priority values of reforestation
areas were determined for subcompartement and compartment level and presented for
each treeless forest areas (OT) as tables and figures.
