Is It Legally Possible to Set Forest Fires for Scientific Purposes ?
Öz
Abstract
Aim of study: The aim of the study comprises the examination of permissions to be given by forest administration about forest fires for scientific purposes in the lights of current legislation provisions and administrative law, and the development of effective strategies on providing a solution.
Area of study: The study comprises all fires that are set purposely, intentionally and recklessly for scientific purposes in Turkey.
Material and Methods: The main material of the study is legislation in force, concerning forest fires in Turkey. On the other hand, the method of the study is to determine the relevance of fires with current legislation provisions in order to identify legal characteristic of forest fires for scientific purposes.
Main results: When current legislation provisions are taken into consideration, it is observed that forest administration is not authorized to give permission to set fires even for scientific purposes in forest areas and there are not any legal regulations that give permission to the administration to take action in this direction, as well. In the event of giving permission to such an action, legal and penal obligations would arise to the public official who gives permission.
Research highlights: Regulations should be made to fill legal gaps in order to prevent civil and criminal liability about the administration and the agent of the administration who permit forest fires to be carried out for scientific purposes. Moreover, the authority of giving permission should not be given a single person but a commission with this legal regulation.
