In this aim, 41 production units located in Gunye Forest Management in Bartin province (in West Blacksea Region) were chosen to be study area. Study area covering an area of 1277 ha was included in the production plan of the management between 2007 and 2010. General state of stand, natural structure of production units, production method and tools which are the factors thought to be effective on industrial wood material production yield in production units and 26 variables measuring relationships between these factors were evaluated in the study. It was found as the result of the multidimensional statistical analyses including main components, factor and regression analysis that the most important factors effective on production yield were fertility rate, orientation of land, drifting method, constitution structure of the stand, drifting distance, wealth, transportation and abiotic harms. Production units were divided into three groups based on yield rates and 26 variables using discriminate analysis. From the results of the study, a sample model can be developed to help forest managements predict and plan annual industrial wood production more sensitively and realistically. © Sila Science.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessDiscriminate analysisFactor analysisGISIndustrial woodMultiple regression analysesOriental beechProductionArticle3128478602-s2.0-84883707225N/A
