Abstract

Background and aims In this study, an existing road route in Istanbul University-Cerrahpaşa Forestry Faculty Education Research and Application Forest was selected. The research involved the use of aerial LiDAR data as a digital terrain model (DEM) source, with the development of seven different road routes as alternatives to this route in a Building Information Modelling (BIM) environment. Methods BIM models were created for a total of eight different road routes, with one of these being an existing road route. In order to evaluate the ecological impacts of road geometry and routes, 14 different criteria were determined. The information obtained from these models was then weighted using the CRITIC method, one of the multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methods. The alternatives were then compared ecologically, and the road routes were ranked by MOORA method to find the most optimum solution. Results The ecological ranking revealed that the existing road exhibited the most optimal performance, while road number 4 exhibited the least optimal performance. It is evident that the existing road route has been designed, planned, and constructed in a manner that aligns with all technical criteria. Conclusions The results of the study indicate that the effective utilisation of CRMV methods during road design serves as an effective decision-support tool for identifying the most optimal solution between different road routes. Furthermore, it was demonstrated that the integration of BIM software and CRM methods provides substantial benefits in the design of forest road projects. This integration will result in reduced timeframes and enhanced accuracy in the identification of alternative road routes.

Özet

Giriş ve Hedefler Bu çalışmada, İstanbul Üniversitesi-Cerrahpaşa Orman Fakültesi Eğitim Araştırma ve Uygulama Ormanı'nda mevcut bir yol güzergâhı seçilmiştir. Araştırma kapsamında, sayısal arazi modeli (SAM) kaynağı olarak havasal LiDAR verisi kullanılmış ve BIM ortamında bu güzergâha alternatif olarak 7 farklı yol güzergâhı geliştirilmiştir. Yöntemler Birisi mevcut yol güzergâhı olmak üzere toplamda 8 farklı yol güzergâhı için BIM modelleri oluşturulmuştur. Yol geometrisi ve güzergâhlarının ekolojik etkilerini değerlendirmek amacıyla 14 farklı kriter belirlenmiştir. Bu modellerden elde edilen bilgilerle, çok kriterli karar verme (ÇKKV) yöntemlerinden biri olan CRITIC metodu kullanılarak kriterler ağırlıklandırılmıştır. Belirlenen alternatifler ekolojik açıdan karşılaştırılmış ve MOORA yöntemi ile en optimum çözüm bulunacak şekilde yol güzergâhları sıralanmıştır. Bulgular Ekolojik açıdan yapılan sıralamaya göre en iyi performans sıralaması mevcut yolda iken, en düşük performansı ise 4 numaralı yol almıştır. Mevcut yol güzergâhının tüm teknik kıstasları sağlayacak bir şekilde tasarlanmış, planlanmış ve inşa edilmiş olduğu anlaşılmaktadır. Sonuçlar Çalışma sonuçları göstermiştir ki, yol projelendirilmesi sırasında ÇKKV yöntemlerinin etkin bir şekilde kullanılarak, farklı yol güzergâhları arasında optimum çözümü bulmada, etkin bir karar destek aracı olduğu görülmektedir. Ayrıca, BIM yazılımları ve ÇKKV yöntemlerinin entegrasyonu, orman yolu projelendirmesinde önemli avantajlar sunduğu, bu entegrasyon ile alternatif yol güzergâhlarının belirlenmesinde hem zaman tasarrufu sağlayacağı hem de doğruluğunun artırılacağı ortaya konulmuştur.
