Özet:

 


The forests
in Turkey is classified and managed according to their functions within the
framework of Ecosystem Based Multi-Purpose Planning policy. It is very
important to ensure that planning activities are handled appropriately in order
to carry out forestry activities which are labor intensive, difficult and
dangerous. Forest roads have served as the main infrastructure facility for
forestry activities in accordance with multiple purposes. In order to increase
efficiency within the concept of precision forestry and to transfer the plans
to the application more clearly, it is essential to use technology and
technological machinery. In this context, this study aimed to reveal the
capabilities of using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and Geographical
Information Systems (GIS) tools in planning the forest road construction. For
this purpose, cut and fill volume of a 300 m long sample road was computed by
using USGS based Digital Elevation Model (DEM) with 1 m x 1 m resolution and
UAV based DEM with 0.05 m x 0.05 m resolution which were generated prior to
road construction and after the road construction, respectively. The results
indicated that the cut volume and fill volume were 81804.4 m3 and
74.2 m3, respectively. It was found that the use of UAV will be
quite advantageous in terms of capturing high quality and high-resolution data
for planning the forest road construction and evaluating alternative routes.
