Abstract

Studies which assess the
economical contributions of practices of General Directorate of Forest Villages
Affairs (GDoFVA) to the region or nation is of a limited number. In
order for GDoFVA to develop its policies, it is necessary to identify
the economical contribution of its practices at the local, regional and
national level.

To create
awareness of the economical dimensions of the GDoFVA
Solar Energy Systems practices, by assessing its contributions to the economy
of the local, regional and national economy.

The study takes within its
scope the economical contributions of the GDoFVA Solar Energy Systems
implemented in the forest villages in Turkey by taking into consideration the
data from the forest villages of the Western Mediterranean Region.

Written
resources regarding the topic was obtained from related public organisations
and institutions by the screening method. Unique data was collected with
questionnaires developed for face to face interviews. The SES practices were
implemented for 3,447 families in a total of 152 forest villages in the Western
Mediterranean Region. A sample of 15-20% of the population of each village with
the SES was obtained.

According to the
number of families for which the SES was implemented in the forest villages of
the region between 2005-2011, the practice leads to a total annual saving of
10,800 stere. The SES practice has been implemented nationwide to 145 thousand
families. According to this, the total annual contribution for the nation is
454 thousand stere. This amount shows that there is approximately an annual
saving of 340.5 thousand m³ of wood.
