TY - JOUR T1 - Investigation of the Similarities of Industrial Wood Production Statistics of Regional Directorates of Forestry in Turkey Using Cluster and Discriminant Analysis TT - Türkiye’de Orman Bölge Müdürlüklerinin Endüstriyel Odun Üretim Miktarı İstatistiklerinin Benzerliklerinin Kümeleme ve Diskriminant Analizi ile Araştırılması AU - Akyüz, İlker AU - Ersen, Nadir AU - Bayram, Bahadır Çağrı AU - Acar, Mustafa AU - Akyüz, Kadri Cemil AU - Üçüncü, Tutku PY - 2019 DA - September DO - 10.17475/kastorman.625588 JF - Kastamonu University Journal of Forestry Faculty PB - Kastamonu Üniversitesi WT - DergiPark SN - 1303-2399 SP - 214 EP - 224 VL - 19 IS - 2 LA - en AB - Aim of study: In this study, the amount of industrial wood production of theregional directorates of forestry in Turkey was examined deeply and thesimilarities between the regional directorates in industrial wood productionwere investigated by cluster and discriminant analysis. Area of study: The study area is regional directorates of forestry in Turkey.Material and Method: Seven different variables were used to construct similar clusters. Thearithmetic mean of these seven variables was taken for 4 years (2013-2016). Cluster and discriminant analysis were usedas method.Main results: According to the clustering analysis results, it was determined thatregional directorates of forestry could be divided into maximum 6 and minimum 2groups. As a result of the discriminant analysis conducted to determine thehighest success of the groupings, it was determined that the regionaldirectorates of forestry distinguished in 100% success in 6 groups. Also, itwas found that a Kastamonu regional directorate of forestry, which has thehighest value in industrial wood production, has formed a group alone.Highlights: For the production of industrial wood, the regional directorates offorestry can put more emphasis on the use of forest areas. Thus, we can avoidthe dependence on foreign sources. KW - Industrial Wood KW - Cluster Analysis KW - Discriminant Analysis N2 - Çalışmanın amacı: Bu çalışmada ormanbölge müdürlüklerinin endüstriyel odun üretim miktarları detaylı bir şekildeincelenmiş olup, endüstriyel odun üretimi bakımından bölge müdürlüklerininbenzerlikleri küme ve diskriminant analiz yardımıyla araştırılmıştır.Çalışma alanı: Türkiye’deki ormanbölge müdürlükleri çalışma alanını oluşturmaktadır.Materyal ve Yöntem: Benzer özellikleritaşıyan kümeleri oluşturmak için yedi farklı değişken kullanılmıştır. Budeğişkenlerin 2013-2016 yıllarındaki değerlerinin ortalaması alınmıştır.Araştırma yöntemi olarak ise kümeleme analizi ve diskriminant analizikullanılmıştır.Sonuçlar: Kümeleme analizisonucuna göre, orman bölge müdürlüklerini en fazla 6 ve en az 2 grubaayrılabileceği tespit edilmiştir. Oluşturulan gruplamalardan en yüksek başarıyıbelirlemek için yürütülen ayırma analizi sonucunda orman bölge müdürlüklerinin6’li gruplamada %100 başarı elde ettiği saptanmıştır. Ayrıca, endüstriyel odunüretiminde en yüksek değere sahip olan Kastamonu orman bölge müdürlüğünün tekbaşına bir grup oluşturduğu bulunmuştur.Önemli Vurgular: Endüstriyel odunüretimi için orman bölge müdürlükleri orman alanlarının kullanımı ile ilgiliçalışmalara daha fazla önem vererek dışa bağımlılığın önüne geçebiliriz.
