Abstract
Road between two known points and placing the various economic and environmental factors that require consideration is a highly complex engineering problems. Engineers, soil conservation and water resources, taking into account the total road construction, maintenance and handling cost is the lowest of the route is difficult to determine. Forest road construction and maintenance costs of raw wood is a significant proportion of the total cost of production. Of forest road network planning, forest villages transportation, production work, social needs, providing transportation to the recreation area, depending on the functional use of forests that are made according to the purpose. In this study, by using GIS and Roadeng Technology planning forest road network planning was make zero line, curve, longitudinal profiles, cross sections, such as the amount of excavation and filling all the planning criteria are determined. Roadeng of software for planning of forest roads; surveillance, compliance of the terrain and the location of the module were investigated. Look at the slope of the land and river maps with GIS software has been created.Roadeng numerical software made its way forest we have done with classical methods and technical processes are automatically offers more detailed and more quickly practitioners do on computers.
Highlights
Forest roads play an important role in forest management, transportation of wood raw material protection and afforestation activities in mountainous areas
Simultaneous information management with respect to the important factors in road planning and rapid assessment of the roads has been possible by using GIS capabilities Naghdi, et al, (2009); Pentek, et al, (2005); Gumus, et al, (2007)
In Turkey, forest roads are divided into three main categories such as primary forest roads, secondary forest roads (Type A and Type B secondary forest roads) and tractor roads
Summary
Forest roads play an important role in forest management, transportation of wood raw material protection and afforestation activities in mountainous areas. Previous studies developed forest road networks via manual methods, while in the last few years computer software and hardware have been used extensively and effectively for solving complex problems in forest areas, especially in developed countries (Akay 2003; Rogers 2005; Demir 2007). Today, concepts such as digital map, GIS and land information systems have gained importance in the design of road networks (Akay, 2003; Aruga, 2005; Gümüş, 2008; Çalışkan, 2013). The aim of this study, by using GIS and Roadeng Technology planning forest road network planning was make zero line, curve, longitudinal profiles, cross sections, such as the amount of excavation and filling all the planning criteria are determined
