Özet
Although the Black Sea Region is humid, there have been many forest fires recently. The province of Bartin, located in this region, has forests rich in biodiversity. In addition, the province also includes the Western Kure Mountains, an extension of the Kure Mountains National Park, which is one of the 9 hot spots of our country. Considering these conditions, forest areas within the provincial borders of Bartin should be protected against fire risks. In this context, the aim of the study is to determine the forest fire risk in Bartin province. For this purpose, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), which is a useful tool, was used in the study. GIS, an advanced approach to processing and displaying data, stands out by enabling risk analysis. In the research, Grey Relational Analysis (GRA) method was used to determine the fire risk. GRA is an effective formula for assessing the degree of influence of factors. In the calculation, the factors affecting the fire and the emergency response factors were analyzed and mapped separately. Then, these maps were combined to create a fire risk map. According to the result of the fire risk map, 18% of Bartin province is a very high risk area. In these areas, the temperature is high, the altitude is low, and the presence of conifers has been remarkable.
