Summary: In this study, Modular based a forest ecosystem model (FEM) was developed for applicability of Ecosystem Based Multiple Use Forest Management (EBMUFM). Unifiedmodeling language (UML) was used in the beginning stage of model design. Thanks to UML that supplies standard design diagrams, FEM can be used by not only the designers but alsoother users who want to add new modules or users who want to change existing modules. For this characteristic, model has extensible structure.Silvicultural interfere options were defined on structure of modeled forest area and showed their effects to forest. Basal Area Rate Simulation Method (BARSM) growth modelwas used in order to analyze of changes of forest structure (forest dynamics) versus time. FEM can be used on decision stage in addition to set out data used for stage of forest managementplanning by decision maker. For this purpose, Simulation and optimization modulus were developed and set to run over FEM.In simulation model, decision maker desire can monitorize forest dynamics by applying operation alternatives and planning target. Initially only stand parameters were used in thismodule. In next stage, spatial planning was done by integrated spatial parameters model. In optimization model, types of operation alternatives can be decided for desired forest level.Operation alternatives that can be applied in each forest area was produced by using planning strategies determined by decision maker. Restriction equation, suitable for linear programmingstructure was determined from operation alternatives, produced from decision variables. These equations were solved by using Simplex Method (SP) and determined the best operationalternatives Even thought chosen prescription alternatives are the best alternative, it is impracticablefor spatial parameters due to not included into model. Spatial parameters is very difficult to define with linear equation, mostly it is impossible. Simulated Annealing method used for tosatisfy spatial restriction with minimum penalty value of the result of LP.
