Abstract

Bu araştırmanın amacı, çeşitli peyzaj analiz tekniklerini kullanarak Manisa ilindeki potansiyel orman yangın risk bölgelerini haritalamaktır. Doğal olarak veya insan faaliyetlerinin sonucunda ortaya çıkan orman yangını, ekolojik bağlantılılığın azalmasına ve peyzajın parçalanmasına neden olur. Bu nedenle, yangın sıklığını en aza indirmek, hasarı önlemek, yangına neden olabilecek sorunlara yönelik tahmin yapmak ve çözüm yöntemlerinde karar mekanizması olarak kullanılabilecek yangın risk bölgesi haritasından yararlanılmaktadır. Bu araştırmanın materyalini, Avrupa Birliği tarafından koordine edilen ve yönetilen Yer Gözlem Programı olan Copernicus Programı çerçevesinde üretilen CORINE 2018 verisi, NASA Earthdata web sitesinden elde edilen ASTER Global DEM sayısal yükseklik modeli verisi, MODIS uydu görüntülerine dayanan yangın arşiv kayıtları, ağaç türlerinin mekânsal dağılımını gösteren sayısal meşcere haritası ve mevcut yol ağını haritalamak için kullanılan OpenStreetMap (OSM) verileri oluşturmaktadır. Risk bölgelerini tanımlamak için bitki örtüsü, eğim, bakı, yükseklik, yerleşim yerine ve yola uzaklık değişkenleri kullanılmıştır. Orman yangını çıkma potansiyeline göre her bir tematik harita katmanındaki öznitelik değerlerine belirli ağırlıklar atanmıştır. Sayısal yükseklik modelinden eğim, bakı ve yükseklik haritaları oluşturulmuştur. Yerleşim haritasına olan mesafe CORINE veri tabanından, yol haritasına olan mesafe ise OSM'den üretilmiştir. Orman yangın riski bölgelerini belirlemek için Yangın Riski Bölge Endeksi kullanılmıştır. Oluşturulan yangın riski haritasına göre, çalışma alanının %25.8’inin çok yüksek ve yüksek seviyede yangın riski taşıdığı ortaya çıkmıştır. MODIS görüntülerinden elde edilen 2001 ve 2018 yılları arasındaki orman yangını verileri ile yüksek ve çok yüksek yangın riski taşıyan alanlar çakıştırılmış, 149 orman yangının 97’sinin yüksek ve çok yüksek risk altındaki alanlarda meydana geldiği ortaya çıkmıştır. Bu bulgu, uzaktan algılama ve CBS tekniklerine dayanan metodolojinin güvenilir olduğunu ve orman yangın riski bölgelerinin tanımlanma sürecinde etkin bir şekilde kullanılabileceğini desteklemektedir.

Remote sensing and GIS-based forest fire risk zone mapping: The case of Manisa, Turkey

Abstract

The aim of this research is to map the potential forest fire risk zones using various landscape analysis techniques in Manisa province, Turkey. Forest fire, which is defined as an ecological disaster caused by natural processes or as a result of human activities, causes environmental degradation and fragmentation of the landscape. Therefore, it is very important to produce a fire risk zone map that can be used to minimize the frequency of fire, to prevent damage, to provide a prediction for the problems that may cause fire and to form a decision mechanism for the solution methods. This research utilized CORINE 2018 produced under the framework of the Copernicus Program which is the European Union's Earth Observation Programme coordinated and managed by the European Commission, ASTER Global DEM digital elevation model data obtained from the website of NASA Earthdata, fire archive records based on MODIS satellite images, digital stand map displaying the spatial distribution of tree species, and the OpenStreetMap (OSM) which were used for mapping the existing road network. Vegetation cover, slope, aspect, elevation, distance to settlement, and distance to road variables were used to determine risk zones. The specific weights were assigned to each thematic map layer according to their capacity on fire ignition. The slope, aspect, and elevation maps were generated from the digital elevation model. The distance to settlement map was generated from the CORINE database while the distance to road map was produced from OSM. The Fire Risk Zone Index (FRZI) was utilized to determine forest fire risk zones. According to the generated final fire risk map, almost 25.8% of the study area was predicted to be under very high and highrisk zones. The final forest fire risk model was validated with past fire incidents data that was acquired from MODIS images as fire points. The result of this research showed that out of 149 fire incidents in Manisa between 2001 and 2018, 97 incidents had occurred in very high and highrisk areas. This finding supports that the presented methodology based on RS and GIS techniques is reliable and can be effectively used in the process of delineation of the forest fire risk zones.
