Detecting Forest Fire Damage Using Remote Sensing

Abstract

Forest fires have become a huge and global problem in recent years. Although the large fires seen in almost every continent and country have started due to natural causes or human activities, the general management policies of forests are being questioned in many ways in the context of fires. The direct and indirect effects of reasons such as changes in climatic temperature and precipitation regimes, the decrease in rural population due to migration, the reduction of wild animals and livestock in natural environments and forests, and the accumulation of excessive amounts of flammable organic matter on forest floors are being discussed in wide circles from academic circles to the public. Climatic changes resulting from human activities over time, the rapid increase in the world population, and incorrect application in forests indicate that forest fires will continue to be a serious problem for humanity in the coming years. The important point of forest fires is the amount of burned area. Geographic Information Systems and Remote Sensing are the most preferred methods for determining the amount of burned area with satellite images. The study aims to determine the calculation of the fire in Izmir in the summer of 2024. Satellite images were obtained before and after the fire in the study. Normalized Burn Ratio and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index analyses were applied to the obtained satellite images, and the amount of burned area was calculated with both methods. Finally, it was determined that remote sensing and geographic information systems can be used to calculate the amount of burned area, and the resolution of the satellite image used is important. It was also determined that the difference between the determined amount and the data of the Regional Forestry Directorate is small.
