Abstract

In this study, a suitability analysis has been conducted to assess the suitability of forest land use within the Altınapa Dam Lake basin, considering natural and cultural potentials, ecological structure, and forest resource values. Suitability analysis is recognized as a crucial tool for the conservation and sustainable utilization of natural and cultural resources. This analysis was carried out using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). The result of this analysis is a suitability map, which indicates that approximately half of the basin is considered suitable for forest areas. This finding highlights the importance of forested areas in preserving and enhancing the ecological balance of the basin.
