Ankara ili arazi örtüsü değişimi (2000-2012)

Abstract

In this study, the change of land cover in Ankara province was investigated within the scope of CORINE data in two periods, 2000-2006 and 2006-2012, over 12 years. Based on the year 2000, it was determined that the land cover of Ankara was distributed horizontally and vertically, and the grade of land covered by this land cover in terms of land use ability was determined. By following periodical changes, it was determined that there is a negative linear relationship between the urban development of Ankara and the agricultural areas in the land cover changes in Ankara. During the 12-year period, settlement areas in both periods became the largest growing land cover class, with the capital Ankara having an important place in this class. Indeed, the only effective factor in the negative change of agriculture and pasture lands is settlement areas. The continuing growth of the city of Ankara over land cultivated suitable for agriculture is an indication that the unintended use of agricultural land will increase even further. In this process, a negative change was observed in agriculture and pasture lands, while a positive change was observed in other land cover types at very small rates. According to the Puyravaud formula, the annual rate of change of each type of land cover was calculated at the last stage of the study, and it was foreseen about the land cover of Ankara Province in 2030, considering that the conditions did not change
