Rapid changes in land use land cover (LULC) adversely affect the environment. In order to provide information for policymakers to support sustainable development, detailed data about these regions is urgently needed. Use of remote sensing (RS) in combination with geographical information System (GIS) is one of the effective information technology tools to generate LULC change information. In this study, it is aimed to explore the temporal and spatial characteristics of urban expansion by using RS integrated with GIS. For this purpose a study area is selected from a coastal urban area and LULC changes are determined from high resolution satellite images. It is found that in the study area there are 135.72% increase in the rate of built-up area. The urban expansion has been accompanied by 29.38% loss of vegetation cover.

ANALYZING THE COMBINED IMPACT OF CLIMATE AND LAND USE LAND COVER CHANGE ON THE HYDROLOGICAL RESPONSE OF JHELUM RIVER BASIN IN KASHMIR Hamid, Injila; Akıntuğ, Bertuğ; Sustainable Environment and Energy Systems (2022-7) In terms of efficient and sustainable management of water resources of a basin, land use land cover (LULC) and climate change impact studies hold utmost importance. Land use change dynamics along with the climate change owing to greenhouse gas emissions are altering the hydrological response of river basins. This study therefore focuses on quantifying the combined impact of LULC and climate change on the water balance components of the Jhelum river basin using Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) hydrologi...
Monitoring urban growth and detection of land-use change with GIS and remote sensing: A case study of the Kyrenia Region Kara, Can; Akcit, Nuhcan (2016-04-08) Land-cover change is considered one of the central components in current strategies for managing natural resources and monitoring environmental changes. It is important to manage land resources in a sustainable manner which targets at compacting and consolidating urban development. From 2005 to 2015, urban growth in Kyrenia has been quite dramatic, showing a wide and scattered pattern, lacking proper plan. As a result of this unplanned/unorganized expansion, agricultural areas, vegetation and water bodies h...
Adopting sustainability assessment criteria to guide urban regeneraton projects: two case studies in Ankara Seyhan, Zeynep.; Elias Özkan, Soofia Tahira; Department of Architecture (2019) Increasing awareness of climate change, loss of biodiversity and increase in environmental pollution due to the current trends of consumption in the urban areas have brought about a myriad of schemas to guide environmentally friendly urban developments. These schemes or Neighborhood Sustainability Assessment Tools (NSA Tools) provide a convenient way to establish healthier and sustainable cities. Meanwhile, Turkey is going through a rapid urban transformation process that is being questioned with respect to...
ANALYSIS OF LAND USE LAND COVER CHANGES FOR AN ABANDONED MINE SITE Soydan, Hilal; Düzgün, Hafize Şebnem; Özdemir, Okan Bilge (2015-07-31) The aim of this study is to the evaluate land use and the land cover changes of an abandoned coal mine in Central Anatolia. The mining activity in the region was started at 1987 and after working for 18 years, all the rights of the mine was passed to an another company which after a while the came up with no coal production since its concession was cancelled on February 2008. Unfortunately, during the life of the mine, there were no mine closure and reclamation activities on the field. There was only a limi...
Investigating the applicability of water sensitive urban design techniques for Güzelyurt, Northern Cyprus Elham, Jahani; Akıntuğ, Bertuğ; Sustainable Environment and Energy Systems (2017-2) Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD) is a method used to mitigate the negative effect of urbanization on the water cycle. Due to a high percentage of impervious surfaces in urban area and reduction in the share of infiltration and evaporation, a considerable amount of rainfall is converted to runoff. This increase in runoff portion in urban areas causes serious problems for public and private properties. Moreover, the impact of climate change on more intensive rainfall events would cause serious problems tha...
