Today, with the increasing demand for forest products, forest areas are being used more and more intensively. This use also brings environmental damage. In recent years, with people who want to escape from cities turning to natural environments, the prevention and detection of environmental damages of all kinds of activities that interfere with nature has become more important. It is known that the stage with the most interventions in forest management is the logging process. For this reason, in this study, the damages of logging activities in the remaining stand in the area within the boundaries of Borcka Forest Management Directorate of Artvin Regional Forest Directorate were studied. For this purpose, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) images, satellite images from the past years and the present were analyzed. Images of the compartment before and after the logging process were obtained with the UAV. Analyses will be made on these images to determine the change of the compartment and its effects on the surrounding stands. Through satellite images, NDVI analysis will be made on the before and after situation and the effects of the logging process on the environment will be determined. As a result of these analyzes, it is aimed to determine the effects of the logging process on forest cover with remote sensing methods.
