Abstract

Çalışmanın amacı: Bu çalışma, 1987, 2000 ve 2016 yılları arasında Kastamonu ilinin kıyı bölgelerinin riparian zonların içinde ve dışında kalan orman alanlarında meydana gelen zamana bağlı değişimleri ve demografik etmenler ile ilgili olan ilişkilerini inceleyerek nüfus dinamiklerinin orman örtüsü üzerindeki etkisini değerlendirmeyi amaçlamaktadır.
Çalışma alanı: Araştırma, Kastamonu ilinin kuzeyinde yaklaşık 1000 kilometrekarelik bir alanı kapsayan ve 153 orman köyünü içeren dört kıyı ilçesinde gerçekleştirilmiştir.
Materyal ve yöntem: Çalışmada arazi örtüsü ve nüfus değişikliklerini saptayıp analiz etmek için coğrafi bilgi sistemleri ve uzaktan algılama verileri kullanılmıştır. Riparian zonlar içerisindeki mekânsal ve zamansal dinamikleri araştırmak için de Landsat uydu görüntüleri ve nüfus verileri kullanmıştır.
Temel sonuçlar: Araştırma sonuçları, 1987'den 2000'e kadar ormanlık alanlarda önemli bir artış ve 2000'den 2016'ya kadar takip eden bir azalma olduğunu ortaya çıkarmış ve bu değişimlerin, azalan yerel nüfusla zayıf ancak anlamlı negatif bir korelasyona sahip olduğunu göstermiştir.
Araştırma vurguları: Bulgular, kırsal nüfuslardaki azalmanın ormanlara yönelik antropojenik baskıları azaltabileceğini ve etkili orman yönetimi ve korumasına yönelik bazı zorluklar oluşturabileceğini öne sürmektedir. Araştırma, demografik değişikliklerle orman koruma çabalarını bütünleştiren sürdürülebilir stratejilerin gerekliliğini ve ekosistem hizmetleri ile biyoçeşitliliğin korunmasını vurgulamaktadır.

Temporal Analysis of Riparian Buffer Zones and Demographic Trends in the Coastal Districts of Kastamonu

Abstract

Aim of study: This study investigates the temporal changes of forest areas within and outside the Riparian Buffer Zones (RBZs) and examines their correlation with demographic trends in the coastal districts of Kastamonu from 1987, 2000, and 2016 to assess how population dynamics influence forest cover.
Area of study: The study was conducted in four coastal districts in northern Kastamonu province, Türkiye, covering approximately 1000 square kilometers and focusing on 153 forest villages.
Material and methods: Geographic Information Systems and remote sensing data delineated and analyzed land cover and population changes. The study used Landsat imagery and population data to explore spatial and temporal dynamics within the RBZs
Main results: The study found a significant increase in forest area from 1987 to 2000 and a subsequent decrease from 2000 to 2016, with these changes showing a weak but significant negative correlation with the declining local population.
Research highlihts: The findings suggest that declining rural populations may reduce anthropogenic pressures on forests and pose challenges to effective forest management and conservation. The research highlights the need for sustainable strategies integrating demographic change with forest conservation efforts to maintain ecosystem services and biodiversity.
