Investigation of relations between forest functions and some socioeconomic variables: The case of Turkey

Öz:
While human beings first utilized forests as sources of nutrition and shelter, by the industrial age, forests were seen as sources of raw materials. Through variation in forest usage, interactions between forest and society have undergone obvious changes. Thus, to investigate relationships between forest functions and socioeconomic data and, additionally, to estimate related trends, this papermain aim was to present the current situation in forestrelations. In this context, through regression analysis, areal data on forest functions were associated with population, education, and income level. Findings revealed that population and income are variables estimated to have the greatest effect on related areal change. Results also indicated that the area managed for economic and social functions will increase, and that managed for ecological functions will decrease. Therefore, considering these results in the context of policy formulation on sustainable forest management is crucial.

Ormanların işlevleriyle bazı sosyo-ekonomik değişkenler arasındaki ilişkinin irdelenmesi: Türkiye örneği

Öz:
Önceleri beslenme ve barınma ihtiyacı için ormandan yararlanan insan daha sonra ormanı endüstride kullanılmak üzere bir hammadde kaynağı olarak görmeye başlamıştır. Ormanların işlevlerinin çeşitlenmesi ile orman ve toplum arasındaki etkileşimde farklılaşmalar olmuştur. Çalışmanın amacı söz konusu etkileşimi güncel sayısal verilerle ortaya koymak, ülke genelinde ormanların işlevleri ile sosyo-ekonomik veriler arasındaki ilişkileri irdelemek ve bu kapsamda geleceğe ilişkin tahminlerde bulunmaktır. Bu çerçevede ormanların işlevleriyle ilgili alansal veriler; nüfus, nüfusun eğitim düzeyi ve gelir düzeyi verileri ile ilişkilendirilmiş ve regresyon analizi yönteminden yararlanılmıştır. Elde edilen bulgular ışığında ormanların işlevlerine göre işletilmesindeki alansal değişimi en çok etkilemesi beklenen değişkenler nüfus ve gelir düzeyidir. Özellikle öngörülen değişimlere paralel şekilde alansal olarak ormanların ekonomik ve sosyal işlevlerinin artış göstereceği, ekolojik işlevlerininse azalış göstereceği beklenmektedir. Bu çalışma ile ulaşılan sonuçların sürdürülebilir orman yönetiminin sağlanması yönünde politikaların geliştirilmesi kapsamında dikkate alınması önem taşımaktadır.
