Özet
Forest fires are one of the most important elements that destroy forests and causing enormous environmental and economic damage as well as loss of the human life. Especially in Mediterranean region, forest fires have a great importance and natural risk. Determining forest fires, there are so many variables or factors and these variables are somehow related. A fire depends on many factors, such as topography, vegetation type, distance from roads and proximity to settlements. Human activities in settlement areas may dramatically increase forest fire risk. Thus, forests located near roads have more fire tendency. In this study, Kahramanmaras Regional Directorate of Forestry was chosen as a case study area. 1186 forest fire ignition points were determined according to starting point of the recorded forest fires from 2002 to 2014 by the Kahramanmaraş Regional Directorate of Forestry. Roads in the planning unit were digitized with a 1/4000 to 1/5000 screen view scale using ArcGISTM 10.0. According to distance from the roads for forest fire, buffer zones thrown into the road such as< 100 m, 100-250 m, 250-500 m, 500-1000 m,> 1000 m with the ArcGISTM 10.0 software. The relationship between number of fires and fire intensity with distance from the roads was investigated. It is observed that, the distance form roads decreases, the number of forest fire and intensity increases.
