| Summary: |
Acting according to versatile benefiting principle in making plans for forest management requires a very comprehensive study. It requires more detailed inventory compared with traditional forest management plan. Also, it offers novelties such as participation of domestic people to the planning. We encounter different problems such as using data on fauna and flora in determining enterprise objectives and making these data an integrated part of the sustainable management. This study focused on how a flora-fauna inventory is conducted and how the obtained findings are employed in planning by plotting them on forest stand maps. The present study is a part of GEF II project supported by World Bank and it was conducted in Isparta-Yukarıgökdere Enterprise Planning Unit (YEPU) in which biological diversity is reflected on forest management plans. The data, which were obtained in field studies conducted between 2006 and 2008 in YEPU, were plotted on the maps produced by employing Geographic Information Systems (GIS). 11 mammal species, 72 bird species, 13 reptile species, 1 amphibian and 129 insect species as well as 333 plant taxa in total included in 75 families and 226 genera of which 61 are endemic were found. Distribution areas of those, which were specified as target species among them, were shown on the maps. Consequently, the important habitats for these species were specified as use areas with Natural Protection Function by entering them into positional database. |
