Macka State Forest Enterprise under Trabzon Forest Regional Directorate was chosen as research area. Six different groups involving urban, rural, managerial, industrial, and recreational stakeholders as well as non-governmental organizations were determined. Interview and public survey methods and Khi-square test were used to attain the aim of the study. The main results were that the forest enterprise was perceived as the rich one with regard to forest existence and, it was put forward pessimistic though for forest future in the forest enterprise and, non-wood forest values were seen more important than the wood values by the stakeholders. The results of the study taken into account in forest resource planning would provide a contribution to sustainable forest resources management for the Macka State Forest Enterprise.

Explanatory variables in the propounded model include price of imported timber, price of domestically-produced sawlog as an imperfect substitute, income per capita, country population, and capacity utilization rates (CUR's) and industrial production indices (IPI's) of forest industry sectors. For empirical purpose we used a time series data covering the 15-year period between 1995 and 2009. The econometric model set for there appears to be able to explain more than 96% of the variation in demand for imported timber, with all of the parameter estimates, except for population parameter, being statistically significant. Estimation results confirm the existence of the price elasticity and substitute cross-price elasticity of demand for imported timber. Results also imply that the Turkish firms importing timber tend to consider domestic sawlog prices as much as, even more than, the price of foreign timber. The hypothesized effects of production changes in wood products and furniture industries on imported timber demand do not appear to be substantiated by this study, which can partly be attributed to the partial method of measuring CUR's and IPI's. Meanwhile, possible effects of income, population and exchange rate index of the Turkish currency on the imported timber demand of the country are not evidenced by the empirical findings of this research. Finally, our model forecasts, ceteris paribus, that by 2016 the level of Turkish demand for imported timber demand can reasonably be expected to exceed 2 million m 3 /year. This corresponds to the level of timber import observed in the years preceding the global economic crisis in 2009.

As a result of these studies, to avoid these problems, bilateral, regional and multilateral cooperations, legal instruments, incentive mechanisms and international funds are developed. One of these instruments is global carbon market as a cost-effective method to combat climate change. Thanks to carbon markets, projects in renewable energy, energy efficiency, waste management and forestry sectors aiming to reduce greenhouse gas emissions can be developed at. As forests are the most important terrestrial carbon sinks and deforestation and forest degradation are the third-largest source of carbon emissions, forestry sector is one of the crucial sectors in this process. In this context, Turkish forestry sector should benefit from international markets for protection, improvement and sustainable management of forest resources. Currently, Turkish forestry sector has not taken any financial support from these markets. In this study, it is aimed to determine and evaluate opportunities provided by voluntary carbon markets for Turkish forestry sector financing.

Therefore, quality and quantity losses, especially caused by bark beetles in growing stock and wood based products, have been a prominent problem. In recent years, Artvin State Forest Enterprise in northeastern Turkey has been affected by bark beetles, which caused serious destruction in forests. This study aims to estimate the parameters of sales prices of insect-damaged industrial roundwood of spruce (Picea orientalis (L.) Link.) species in Artvin State Forest Enterprise. To this end, a linear price model is constructed in which the sales price is deemed to be a function of: 1) number of bidders in an auction, 2) year after harvest, 3) appraised value and 4) insect damage level. The model explained, statistically significantly, almost 80% of the variation in sales prices of insect-damaged timber in the region.

Also included in this study is a demand forecast for fuelwood based upon the econometric model proposed in this study. Being in multiplicative form originally, the proposed model is converted in to a double-log or log-linear form, for the ease of immediate interpretation of the parameter estimates in respect of elasticities. Parameter estimation is based on a panel and time series data set that belongs to the 15-year period between 1995 and 2009. The demand forecast presented has a horizon of 7 years beyond 2009. Major findings of the research include: 1) fuelwood demand in Turkey appears to conform to the law of demand with an inverse price-demand relationship; 2) fuelwood demand is notably price-sensitive with relatively high price elasticity; 3) fuelwood does not appear to be a related (complementary or substitute) good with coal and natural gas; and 4) fuelwood in Turkey is likely to be a "normal good" in respect of demand-income relationship. Meanwhile, based upon the proposed model here, fuelwood demand in Turkey may reasonably continue to show a downward trend till a level of 5 million m 3 per annum, which is an about 50% reduction from the demand level in 1995. Further research is particularly needed for Turkey in view of the rapidly changing socio-economic profile of rural and urban population, which is being reflected in the demand for energy from wood in forms besides wood in the raw.

The scope of this research consists of the field service units of the General Directorate of Forestry. A questionnaire based on face to face interview technique was utilized as the data collection tool. In the study, 71 of all 243 forest managements located in the nation have been contacted and a survey has been applied to 146 managers and employees. In this context, a scale, in which 34 proposals are used under 5 main factors, was formed. The obtained data were analyzed in SPSS program by using non-parametric tests. The research results have shown that the FSC certification system has the highest recognition level. On the other hand, GDF managers and employees were determined to have low awareness for forest management certification. In addition, the geographical region where the forest management is situated, the certificate usage status of the management and the method utilized in the forest products sales were identified as variables with statistically significant differences (p<0.05).

As a result of this, tourists prefer tourism types which do not affectcultural and natural resources negatively. Thus, sustainable tourism andecotourism in protected areas and measurement of sustainability of both forestecosystems and natural environment become more important. Sustainability ofsocial, economic and cultural aspects of protected areas became crucial. Tohave a better protection and maintain sustainability, it is necessary to knowall natural values of these areas. There is no consensus about evaluation ofsustainability, but most researchers and specialists believe thatsustainability can be defined with criteria ad indicators.In this study, by considering Turkishforestry’s specific properties, it is aimed to present economic/financial,ecological/environmental and social/cultural criteria and indicators forecotourism management as a tool for maintaining sustainability of protectedareas.

Main benefit of this is decreasingstock level and lead time.Changing cost structures of enterprises due tohigh level of automation, it becomes impossible for them to produce and sellwith “I would sell whatever Iproduce at whatever cost”approach. In recent years, many enterprises in developed countries use advancedcost management systems for an efficient cost management. JIT approach is oneof these cost management approaches. High level of diversification in customerdemands and various product desires after 1980s lead enterprises to changetheir production systems. Enterprises search for new methods for cost reductionin order to maintain and increase their mar...
