Application of GIS in assessing forest fire susceptibility: Case study of Kopaonik National park and surrounding areas
Keywords: forest fires; GIS; national park; criteria; analysis
Abstract
The possibility of large-scale forest fi res poses a threat to human lives and property, as well as the environment. Therefore, specific procedures and activities need to be correctly chosen and directed to minimize the risk of forest fi res primarily through preventive measures. The number of fi res and the area affected directly or indirectly result in significant material damages and numerous other undesirable effects. The number of fi res is increasing worldwide and in our country, both in terms of frequency and the size of the affected area. This paper elaborates on the application of GIS in determining the potential susceptibility of space to forest fi res. The study area includes the Kopaonik National Park (with zones I, II, and III for protection) as well as areas outside the National Park, within the territories of the municipalities of Raška, Brus, and Leposavić. Factors contributing to forest fi res in this area include high altitude, inaccessible and difficult terrains, unauthorized construction, vegetation under the forest, and a lack of mapped uncategorized roads.
