Abstract
The research aimed to study the costs of forest afforestation projects in some forest areas affected by fires in Lattakia Governorate. So, the study of the afforestation was carried out at the Ras Al-Basit fire site (Al-Dafla – Al-Issawiya), which occurred on 2/9/2003. Social study is available in many forest fire areas in Lattakia. An analytical descriptive approach was adopted in the study of fire-affected forests and field survey method. A statistical analysis program (19) SPSS was used to calculate studied correlations, quai-square test, conjugation coefficient (PHI), T-test for independent samples, ANOVA bidirectional contrast analysis test, and indicator systems for economic purpose-appropriate. The results indicated that the cost of completing all the forestry works for the studied forest afforestation project (the basic initial costs) amounted to 685180 SP / ha. As for the capital interest, it amounted to about 84092.1 SP / H. It was found that the population type has nothing to do with the logging process because the values of the coupling coefficient value (PHI 0.508, at the significance level (Sig) 0.0001, they have an effect of the level of education on the performance of logging.
Key words: forests – afforestation – primary costs – fires- lattakia.
