Abstract:

This study is aimed at identifying the problems of management of fragile forests in the example of the Trabzon Forest Management Directorate. In this context, the technical and social problems that forest resources managers encounter in practice have been identified, the forest resources and the state of use, expectations and recommendations of the forest farmers living in the forest have been evaluated. Five main issues related to the management of the shredded forests have been identified. These are: problems in the construction of the cadastrus of fragile forests, social problems in the management of fragile forests, problems in the planning phase of fragile forests, forestry practices in fragile forests (protection, treening, maintenance, rehabilitation, etc.). Problems in the preservation of the forests. The forest farmers are expected to take advantage of the forest, while the forest farmers are expected to take advantage of the forest’s needs. With this study, it has been assessed that it may be appropriate to leave the benefits to the local governments by granting a different status in the forest management plan to the divided forests.
