Abstract

Forest fires appear as a real destruction with human activities or natural forces. Despite the impossibilities to control the nature, it's possible to map fire risk areas and reduce the number of fires and prevent the damages. GIS can be used effectively to create a forest fire risk map with the capacity to evaluate the factors that cause fire. Cirali region, which is under constant fire threat were chosen for this research. Cirali region is located in Antalya province, southwest of Turkey as an agricultural village and a tourism area. As a result of the fire risk analysis, it has been determined that is concentrated around the residentials with high fire risk and the roads connecting the residentials. The interaction between Cirali region tourism and forest fire risk is analysed with the DPSIR model that shows the fire risk factors affecting the tourism in the region directly or indirectly.
