Land Cover Management of Forest stands using the ETM

Optimum management of natural resources and forest parks requires in time, correct information. Drawing the map of land cover and more and more precise determination of this tool as a management parameter can assist the planners of various administrative sectors in management. Present study was performed to define the change in the land use level in the forest park and to define the factors influencing on these changes using remote sensing and GIS. Present study tries to define forest cover changes and to map the forest cover using remote sensing techniques and the image of ETM+ sensor in 1989.Vegetation as a dynamic phenomenon is always changing and transforming. Total accuracy of classification of the images related to 1989 is 0.7312 and kappa coefficient is 0.7247.
