Gölbaşı Havzası’nda Arazi Kullanımının Zamansal (1984-2020) Değişimi, Adıyaman/Türkiye

Abstract

The spatio-temporal changes (1984-2020) in land use in the Gölbaşı Basin were investigated in this study. In this context, field studies and interviews were conducted, and the data used in the study were obtained from institutions and internet websites. Changes in land use were assessed through supervised classification of Landsat 5, 7 and 8 data using ArcGIS 10.3.1 and ENVI 5.2 software. Of the total population of 42.686 individuals in the basin, 79.6% reside in the district center. The primary economic activities are agriculture and livestock with agricultural areas being the largest land class. The natural environment has been significantly affected by this land use. Changes have occurred in land use and agricultural product patterns in the field. Among these, human areas have increased the most (6 km2) over 36 years. Conversely, there has been a decrease in agricultural areas, and peatlands in the area. Agricultural areas have decreased by approximately 8,5 km2. Considering the rates of change, the greatest reduction has been observed in bare (%32) and peatland (%29) areas. It is expected that the study will contribute to agricultural product planning and basin management for relevant institutions.
