Determination Temporal Land Use Changes in Goksun District of Kahramanmaras City
Using Remote Sensing Techniques and Geographic Information SystemsABSTRACT: The changes in land use must be determined and monitored for a sustainable environment. In this study, the changes occurring land use in Goksun district of Kahramanmaras city were investigated by using remote sensing (RS) techniques and geographic information systems (GIS) in between 1984 and 2011. August 1984 and September 2011 satellite images belonging to Landsat 5 Thematic Mapper (path / row: 174/34) were used to determine land use changes. Both satellite images were classified with supervised classification method using Erdas Imagine programme and 5 land use classes; urban, agricultural, forest, prairie / pasture, and others (bare areas, cliffs, wetlands, natural and artificial lakes) were determined. After supervised classification process, accuracy assessment was made for both images. It was found that the overall accuracy rate was 86,80% and, the kappa value was 0,82 for 1984, while these values for 2011 were 84,40% and 0,79 respectively. According to land use change map, it was determined that increases in urban and forest areas were 21,53% (10461,2 ha) and 28,47% (13836 ha) respectively, however decrease in agriculture, prairie / pasture and others areas were 4,98% (2422.44 ha), 16,78% (8156,16 ha) and 28,23% (13718,61 ha) respectively in between 1984 and 2011.
