IDENTIFICATION OF INTERESTED PARTIES AND MAPPING OF ECOSYSTEM SERVICES IN THE TERRITORIES OF UGAM CHOTKAL STATE NATIONAL NATURE PARK

Abstract

Plants, which are the main components of ecosystems, are known to be affected by natural and anthropogenic factors. Studying the dynamic change of vegetation cover and its driving factors is essential for understanding the interactions between plants and ecosystems. This is of great importance in the social, economic and political life of the stakeholders. Based on the household survey and secondary data in the stakeholder analysis in this thesis, the main stakeholders with a stake in the territories of the Ugam-Chotkal State National Nature Park were identified. The images of May, June, July with up to 20% cloudiness taken by Lansad 4-5 and 7-8 in 1980 and 2020 were downloaded and maps showing the greenness of the Ugam Chotkal State National Nature Park were created.
