    Assessing the potential of harvested rainwater for forest fire suppression using InSAR and the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP)
    (Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2026) Genc, Ahmet Yilmaz; Genc, Levent; Yin, He; Ayman Oz, Nilgun
    This study focuses on estimating the rainwater harvesting potential along the Gelibolu-Malkara Highway and identifying suitable locations for storing the collected water. Using the Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) technique, the suitability of the highway buffer zone was assessed for constructing forest fire extinguishing pools. It was estimated that 14.4% (2,062 ha) of the Gelibolu-Malkara Highway buffer zone is suitable, 25.7% (3,685 ha) is moderately suitable, and 59.9% (8,578 ha) is unsuitable for forest fire extinguishing pools. These eight sections can annually harvest an estimated total of 82,018 m(3) of rainwater. This harvested water can be stored in forest fire extinguishing pools, offering a critical alternative water source for managing wildfire risks. According to T & uuml;rkiye's 2021 data, a substantial portion of aerial firefighting equipment's transport capacity could be met by these proposed pools. Furthermore, if filtered, the harvested water can meet the non-drinking water needs of approximately 3,270 people.

    Determination of sustainable areas for ecotourism using GIS-based AHP
    (Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2025) Kaya, Sude Nur; Genc, Levent; Kozak, Metin
    The study aims to select locations suitable for ecotourism, which has become an important concept for developing countries because of its significance in biodiversity conservation, the growing awareness of sustainability, and the increasing demand for nature-based experiences. This study determined suitable ecotourism locations using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) within the Geographic Information Systems (GIS) framework in an area with a typical Mediterranean climate. All data used for analysis were open resources. Thirteen criteria were considered to determine suitable areas, while restricted areas were identified based on a literature review and expert opinions. Findings determine that 65.01% of the total areas are unsuitable for ecotourism, 20.28% are moderately suitable, and 14.71% are highly suitable. Areas near forested lands and open water bodies were found to be the most suitable regions, while the distribution of the most favourable places for ecotourism varied by district across the province. The study provides a fundamental framework as a benchmark for ecotourism planning in similar regions and offers valuable information for future sustainable tourism development initiatives.
