Özet

We estimate 34 sets of Galactic model parameters for three intermediate-latitude fields with Galactic longitudes l = 60 degrees, l = 90 degrees, and l= 180 degrees, and we discussed their dependence on the volume. Also, we confirm the variation of these parameters with absolute magnitude and Galactic longitude. The star samples in two fields are restricted with bright and unit absolute-magnitude intervals, 4 < M-g <= 5, and 5 < M-g <= 6, whereas for the third field (l= 60 degrees) a larger absolute-magnitude interval is adopted, 4 < M-g <= 10. The limiting apparent magnitudes of the star samples are g(0) = 15 and g(0) = 22.5 mag, which provide space densities within distances in the line of sight of similar to 0.9 and 25 kpc.
