Abstract

Forest fires have been more common in recent years and caused extensive damage. Not only settlements and natural life but also historical places and ancient cities are at risk of forest fires. This study discussed forest fires in Turkey in the summer of 2021. Forest fire risk classifications were determined using Landsat-8 images. The Normalized Burn Ratio (NBR) and Differenced Normalized Burn Ratio (dNBR) indices were used to assess the area impacted by fire and to create fire risk classes. Furthermore, the burned and unburned areas in different zones from the Amos ancient city in the Marmaris were calculated using remote sensing methods. Thus, areas that should be protected from the fire were determined in future studies for fire risk areas.
