In Turkey, the population living around forest areas is significantly affected by forestry activities. There are 21 thousand forest villages and 7 million forest villagers living in these forest villages within the 22.9 million ha forest area. In other words, one out of every three people living in rural areas is a forest villager.
Daily life activities of forest villagers living together with forest areas can cause pressure on forests. GDoFV by various development projects to reduce the impacts of pressures on forest areas of forest villagers have been implemented. This improvement loans are two groups, including for economic and social purposes.
GDoFV only makes cost-benefit analysis for social projects. Does not apply any other economic analysis. Water Heating with Solar Energy Systems (Solar Power Plant) project is a project implemented by GDoFV social purposes. The aim of the SPP projects is to reduce the firewood consumption of the forest villagers. This case study aimed to evaluate the economic analysis of SSP projects implemented to reduce the forest villager's consumption of firewood.
In the forest villages of the Western Mediterranean Region, 100 forest villages were sampled from 152 forest villages and 629 forest villagers where SPP application was made.
