Abstract
Due to increasing population, over consumption, urbanization and industrialization, our forests which are one of the most important natural resources are rapidly destroying in recent decades. As a result of these, natural disasters such as erosion, desertification, air pollution, floods, landslides and avalanches are frequently seen. Forest fires are one of the most important natural disasters of all countries. Especially, in the region of Mediterranean climate zone is effective has been influencing the threat of this natural disaster in our country. Nowadays, a large number of various studies are being conducted to prevent the emergence and development. This is extremely important for sustainable forestry activities and future of our country Accordingly numerous plans and programs have been prepared such as forestry main plan, forestry specialization commission reports of national development plans. One of these plans is Turkey National Forestry Program and it aims to contribute to public welfare and sustainable development of country by providing sustainable management of forest resources. This program includes forestry principles, aims, policies, strategies and actions for the 2004-2023 period. In this study it is aimed to determine and examine principles, aims, policies, strategies and actions about forest fires mentioned in national forestry program.
