Özet |
There are roughly 7 to 8 million people, called forest villagers, living in or around state forests in Turkey today. Their means of making a living for themselves and their immediate families are totally depended upon the possibilities and opportunities generated by the forest service and its subordinate enterprises, directorates, etc. The forest service is bound by Turkish constitution to offer such opportunities to these people. They form forest cooperatives, not very specialized logging companies, to carry out the forest operations starting from tending the stands in every stage of management practices to hauling the timber to log yards or mills. This is how they make a living, besides they are the first inline benefiting from none-wood forest products available to general public. After the completion of such an operation, the villagers are paid as per cubic meter of volume they process and deliver. The stages of such an operation involve felling the timber, debranching, debarking and bucking it on site, then skidding to roadside landing, finally loading to transport vehicles. Since the timber to be harvested is already stamped and taken a dbh reading during timber cruising, the responsible engineer already knows the approximate cubic meter of volume, which would be delivered to log yard. What he/she does not know is the exact location of particular trees so he/she relies upon the operation sheets delivered to him/her by the loggers after the completion of the operation. A simple GPS reading for each tree during timber cruising, which will be incorporated with certain criterias such as type of species, coniferous vs broad-leafed, slope gradient, average length of … |
