Author(s): Leyla Darvishi, Mehrdad Ghodskhah Daryaei* and Abouzar Heidari Safari Kouchi
One of the initial steps in management of forests and reduction of fire damages is to identify areas susceptible to this
phenomenon. In this study, zonation of fire hazard was performed in Babahur forest area of Dorud city of Iran using
statistical modeling method and analytical hierarchy process. Then, performance of the two methods was evaluated.
In this study, sixty three areas, including burned and unburned lands, were detected totally. Then, quantitative
values of some effective parameters in forest fires like temperature, wind speed, rainfall, altitude, aspect, slope,
distance from residential area and vegetation cover, distance from river and road, were estimated using data and
maps obtained from the Geographical Information System (GIS) and remote sensing (RS) as well as field studies.
Finally, the model was presented through regression analysis and.. View More»
