In this study, opportunities for estim ating stand param eters w ith reflectance values from satellite data and if stand types can be separated by using data from SPO T-5 satellite having 10x10 m. spatial resolution vvere investigated. It seem ed that stand types for forest m anagem ent plans can not be separated by using SPO T-5 satellite data, hovvever, it can be possible vvith using stratified data in forest inventory that vvill be carried out either in local or regional scale. It vvas found that data from fourth channel o f SPO T-5 satellite vvere sensible for grovving stock and basal area in cluster pine (Pinııs piııaster) stands. This case shovved that in cluster pine plantations, grovving stock can be estim ated vvith m ultiphase sam pling m ethod and regresion analysis.
