Natural resources are alive and inanimate beings in the physical environment and can be used for human needs. The management of
each of them presents differences in the economy. The management of natural resources has many different features. Because while
many features of natural resources can be explained with market prices, many features cannot be explained with market prices, and
there are big problems in their use, allocation, and leaving them at least as much as they are today for next generations. Natural
resources can belong to a region (forests), a country (rivers) and even the whole world (atmosphere). Therefore, natural resource
management problems arise both on the country's agenda and on the world agenda; these are known as environmental problems.
Forest resource management and managerial failures are important environmental problems. The aim of this study is to explain the
importance of land valuation in forest management. The Faustmann approach is analyzed in current study and explains the
importance of land value in forest resource management theoretically. The results of this provide implications for environmental
management as well. While numerical approach explains the total value of forest resources with the forest growth function; changing
rotation intervals are closely related to the success of correct environmental management. Numerical analysis of the study will be
carried out for Uludag National Park, Bursa. The results of the study reveal that the policies related to urbanization, industrialization
and re-determination of municipal adjacent areas in Turkey also cause important environmental problems.
