When we look at the forest fire in Turkey; we can easily detect that %94 of forest fire caused by negligence, careless and intention. On the other hand; when we keep on searching for the cause of forest fire, we can find the real cause of wild fire. This cause is the politician and daily changing forest law. Why we choose Muğla for this thesis is that Muğla has the most forest and this forests are the most valnurable due to the altitude and the climate. On the other hand; Muğla' s forest has really importance on Turkish economy. This thesis will show us the characteristics of wild fire and the cause of wild fire.On the other hand this thesis will help the politicians to decide on protect the enviroments and forest.

When we look at the fires Milas, Köyceğiz, Yatağan,and Fethiye are the places where the forest fires occur too much. On the contrary forest fires occur the least in Ula, Kavaklıdere, Dalaman. The number of forest fires rise due to the population and touristic attraction and vice versa. %37 of forest fires in Muğla caused by negligence and careless,%32 intentio, %13 lightining the rest %20 is not known, if we look at point of view that how many acres affected.%73 of forest fire occured by careless and intention. %30 of forest fire in Muğla and %1 1 of acres caused by intention.
