Özet:

Forest roads are important infrastructure facilities that enable forestry activities to continue without interruption. These infrastructure facilities are very important in terms of protection and maintenance of forests, safe transportation of the produced property, afforestation, recreation, and transportation to forest fires as soon as possible. Today, an advantageous environment has been created by the widespread use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) software, the increase in its use, as well as the integration of clearer and reliable information within the framework of sensitive forestry understanding, with the acquisition of high-resolution images with Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV). This study, with the help of UAV data and GIS on forest roads, which serve as the basic infrastructure in the fulfilment of forestry activities, for forest road design and excavation-filling calculations, drones etc. made to demonstrate the applicability of the technologies. The study was carried out on the 164 coded B Type Forest Road belonging to the Cumaova Forestry Directorate affiliated with the Düzce Forestry Operations Directorate. In line with the study, first of all, data were obtained with a multi-copter drone. A Digital Terrain Model (DTM) of the study area was produced with the raw data obtained. The produced DTM data was compared with the 12.5 m Digital Elevation Model (DEM) data showing the land structure before the road was built. At the last stage of the study, the height and position data obtained from the road line with ground measurements and the excavation-fill amounts were compared using the RoadEng software. In the light of the results obtained in this study, it is thought that safer and more precise data can be obtained in forest road design studies, and it can provide a practical approach to road planning studies for planners, decision-makers and practitioners.
