A cost effective, reproducible and reliable system of classification of landscapes into homogeneous units characterizing land based on its physical, biological and cultural characteristics -denoted as Land Management Units (LMUs) is of significant importance for management and planning purposes. Especially for developing countries, LMU systems are very critical as they aid in decision making process for achieving sustainable development and conservation of resources.

Object-based classification of landforms based on their local geometry and geomorphometric context GERÇEK, DENİZ; Toprak, Vedat; Strobl, Josef (Informa UK Limited, 2011-01-01) Terrain as a continuum can be categorized into landform units that exhibit common physical and morphological characteristics of land surface which may serve as a boundary condition for a wide range of application domains. However, heterogeneous views, definitions, and applications on landforms yield incompatible nomenclature that lacks interoperability. Yet, there is still room for developing methods for classification of land surface into landforms that can provide different disciplines with a basis of lan...
Object-based classification of landforms based on their local geometry and geomorphometric context Gerçek, Deniz; Toprak, Vedat; Department of Geodetic and Geographical Information Technologies (2010) Terrain as a continuum can be categorized into landform units that exhibit common physiological and morphological characteristics which might serve as a boundary condition for a wide range of application domains. However, heterogeneous views, definitions and applications on landforms yield inconsistent and incompatible nomenclature that lack interoperability. Yet, there is still room for developing methods for establishing a formal background for general type of classification models to provide different di...
Urban biodiversity and climate change Puppim De Oliveira, Jose Antonio; Doll, Christopher; Moreno Penaranda, Raquel; Balaban, Osman (Springer, 2014-08-01) Urban biodiversity refers to the variety and variability among living organisms found in a city and the ecological systems in which they occur. Overall, urban biodiversity responds to a combination of biogeographic and anthropogenic factors, with a strong influence of the latter. In a rapidly urbanizing world under the pressing threat of climate change, there is a growing interest in understanding how cities benefit from local biodiversity and how these benefits can be under threat due to climate change. Th...
Modelling of Dredged materal disposal Mersin Bay Case Study Sadighrad, Ehsan; Tuğrul, Süleyman; Salihoğlu, Barış (null; 2015-10-10) Management of disposal of solid materials dredged from harbours, shipping channels and coastal environments for different purposes is essential for sustainable land/marine ecosystems, keeping economic values and human quality of life along coastal areas. Therefore, comprehensive and detailed investigations of geo-chemical properties of organic/inorganic pollutants in dredged materials and principal physical and bio-geo-chemical properties of the selected disposal sites are commonly a prerequisite for any pl...
Urban transformation process: Ulus historcial city center planning project Osmançavuşoğlu, Atanur; Günay, Baykan; Department of City and Regional Planning (2006) This thesis, firstly, examines the main characteristics of comprehensive and strategic spatial planning and by comparing both planning understandings indicates that strategic spatial planning is thought as more suitable to the demands of both developing and developed countries in the contemporary era. Then, the main argument of the thesis is presented as Ulus Historical Center Conservation and Improvement Plan is an example of a strategic plan prepared for the purposes of conservation (development). In conf...
