Abstract
Comparison of economic performance of two traditional transportation systems on poplar and willow timbers (case study: Kurdistan province)
Abstract
Background and objectives:
Animal logging and river transportation are traditional systems for transporting the poplar and willow timbers from the margins of rivers in Kurdistan province.
Materials and methods:
This research initially introduces the river transportation system for wood extraction and then compares this system with mule logging from economic point of view. At first, the river transportation routes in study area were taken by GPS. River properties including, velocity, gradient, width, depth, flow discharge and transportation velocity of 1 and 3.5 meters of poplar and willow were measured. The economic performance of mule logging was calculated from cost, logging time and number of labor information.
Results:
Results showed that the Hourly cost of timber transportation by mule and river were 225000 and 100000 Rials, respectively. The mean of transportation velocity of timber by mule was lower than that of water flow.
Conclusion
It was concluded that in the study area the transportation cost and time by river was more suitable than animal logging.
