Ph.D. Tezi Görüntüleme

      Managing the dynamic structure of forests on a sustainable basis according to desired goals is performed by forest management plans. The success of forest management plan highly depends on spatial data which is basic planning input or other data and values. In considering the size and different ecological systems together in the forests, it is difficult to gather accurate and current or uptodate data. Spatial data in our country generated through draft stand maps based on filed survey after interpretation of aerial photographs. To reduce work load, increase reliability, minimize errors or loss of time, achieve information exchange between relevant institutions in forestry, high resolution images and aerial photographs should be incorporated into spatial database with geographical information systems.
