Hi, my name is Bilgehan Bozkurt.
I'm a social scientist
in marketing.
Today, we will talk
about managing
a national park during
wildfires elsewhere.
We will take the wildfire crisis
in Turkiye as an example.
We also have a main question,
is this national
park open or not?

While searching for an
answer to the main question,
you will make decisions.
This is why you're the
manager, you make decisions.
The national park you manage is
a unique public
organization within
the Ministry of
Agriculture and Forestry.
The national park is in one of
the most well-known tourism
cities in the country.
The national park
mainly attracts local,
national, and
international visitors.
To manage the national park,
you do not need a degree in
management or marketing.
For example, forest engineers
could also become managers.
Their technical knowledge
and skills could
contribute to
technical excellence.
However, remember that
the national park is
a public organization.
Therefore, the city
governor could
interfere in national
park management.
This does not happen
frequently but
a specific occasion such as
wildfires could trigger
that decision by
the city governor.
The city governors have
this authority by law.

You're no stranger to
challenges and crises.
First, the novel Coronavirus
pandemic is not over.
The natural park has
always been open
except during the
general lockdowns.
Second, you're in
the tourism season.
The natural park is one of
the main assets in tourism,
both in the region
and in the country.
Third, you're in the
official forest fire season
so you will face
challenges and crises,
and you will face more challenges
and crises in the near future.
Then a large forest fire,
unlike anything
you've ever seen,
has started a few
hundred kilometers away.
It is the largest forest fire
in the history of the country.
