Based on equation (1) and query, forest fire risk zones were 
determined. The resultant fire risk zones and their properties are 
described in table 2. 
4. CONCLUSIONS 
Satellite data are suitable instruments to introduce and classify 
forest places when integrating the parameter topography, 
vegetation type, vicinity to roads and settlements. The 
integration of this satellite data into GIS can be very useful to 
determine risky places and to plan forestry management after 
fire.
