DETECTION OF WILDFIRES WITH SATELLITE IMAGES AND EVALUATION OF THEIR EFFECTS: THE EXAMPLE OF MARMARİS
Öz
With the increase in temperature throughout the world, wildfires have become common in certain regions, such as the Mediterranean basin. The study discussed wildfires after 2000 in Marmaris, located in the southwest of Turkey, and their effects. Thanks to the analyses made with the help of satellite images, wildfires were detected, and then the situation before the fire area and the damages that occurred after it was determined. The study aims to reveal the damage caused by fires and their interrelationships with the physical and human environment. This study applied a document analysis research design, and a secondary data analysis method was followed. Damage determinations were made with NBR, dNBR, NDVI, NDMI, NMDI, and LST analyses on Landsat satellite images. Immediately after the fires, vegetation disappeared, water stress increased, and the level of drought increased. In the following years, it was determined that the plant density increased again, and water stress and deficit decreased. In addition, the effects of the fire on residential areas, tourism activities, and agricultural areas were analyzed. It has been understood that the fires have seriously damaged residential areas and tourism activities, and farming areas have become uncultivated for a while. However, it has been understood that humans cause a significant part of the fires. In this context, it is thought that human activities should be carried out far from forest areas.
