Özet
Hatay is located in a critical region where many forest fires occur almost every year. Forest fires\rhave become more dangerous with global climate change. Burned areas in forest are quickly and reliably\rdistinguished on satellite images, due to the reflection characteristics of healthy and unhealthy plants are\rdifferent. The purpose of the study is detection and evaluation of forest fires that occurred in Hatay between\r2013-2021 from satellite images. Burned areas, their vegetation and geomorfological properties have been\rinvestigated. Landsat 8 satellite images have been obtained for the detection of burned forest areas. Between\r2013 and 2021, one image has been obtained and used for each year. As method NBR (Normalized Burnt\rArea Index) index, which is the most widely used in the literature, has been used. As a result; it has been\rrevealed that a total of 7811 hectares of forest area burned in Hatay province between 2013-2021 years. In\raddition, the degree of influence of the vegetation type and geomorphological features on the burned areas\rwas questioned. The most burned areas by years occurred in 2020 (4642,7 ha), 2013 (1852,5 ha), and 2018\r(581,4 ha), respectively. According to distribution of the burned areas by districts, Antakya has the largest\rvalue, Samandağ and Arsuz districts follow Antakya, respectively. 250-750 m. elevation zone, 15-30 degree\rslope range, South-Southeast and Southwest aspects, correspond to the geomorphological features where\rforest fires are concentrated. According to vegetation type, most of the burned areas consisted of Pinus\rbrutia.
