MANAGEMENT EFFECTIVITY OF FORESTS RESOURCES IN HEATING, ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AND SOCIAL AWARENESS FOR FOREST OF KOSOVO
Abstract
Forests are not only ecologically important for the existence of ecosystems, air purification and its supply with oxygen as the Earth's lungs, but they also have social and economic significance that directly affects the quality of life and sustainable development in general. Given that about 40% of the entire territory of Kosovo is a forest area, and the fact that they are considered as part of national wealth, they continue to be affected by fires and illegal and uncontrolled logging of the human factor. If we look at the statistics of hectares with a forest area, every day we see that this number is falling. Therefore, they need to be managed to provide sustainable production as well as to protect species from their disappearance, thus protecting the biological diversity for a good collective future. As the forests are continuing to be misused and their number is falling, the idea of this paper is to make efficient management of wood and timber heating thus protecting forest areas and making more efficient use of energy. In addition to the research of this problematic, citizens' awareness on efficient heating management will be explored, where 200 family of the Republic of Kosovo will be part of the study. Data processing will be done through the SPSS program, where different statistical test scores will be made. This paper is of great importance, as mismanagement of forests has become the current problem of modern times. Therefore, finding alternatives to heat not only will enable forest protection and better use of energy but also environmental protection from pollution, as we rank among the highest polluting countries in the world.
