Because of the wide, scattered and large part of the forest areas being located far away from the settlement areas, transportation can only be realized through forest roads and the importance of transportation of forest roads has been emphasized. The grading method and the quality classification were made based on the criteria of the study. In this study, for each of the forest roads, technical characteristics, economic characteristics, characteristics of the road through which the road passes and disturbances on the roadside were assessed., the forest roads of the Gerede Management Directorate Aktaş Operation Chief affiliated to the Bolu Forest Regional Directorate in Turkey were handled in terms of "scoring and evaluation of existing forest roads". According to the findings obtained, the forest roads selected for the evaluation and evaluation of the existing forest roads subject to the survey; the names of the area in which they are located, the status of the existing roads are classified according to the reasonableness of the criterion of the criterion of work, by supporting the photographs and graded by considering the positive and negative situations. In the light of this information, 6 (B type) forest roads in the study area with a total length of 29 km have been investigated. In the results of working; one of ecological, economic, social and technical aspects of the forest roads in this planning unit III. quality class and 5 of the II. forest roads have been identified.
