Analyzing landscape changes in the Bafa Lake Nature Park of Turkey using remote sensing and landscape structure metrics

Abstract: Bafa Lake Nature Park is one of Turkey's most important legally protected areas. This study aimed at analyzing spatial change in the park environment by using object-based classification technique and landscape structure metrics. SPOT 2X (1994) and ASTER (2005) images are the primary research materials. Results show that artificial surfaces, low maqui, garrigue, and moderately high maqui covers have increased and coniferous forests, arable lands, permanent crop, and high maqui covers have decreased; coniferous… Show more

“…This program was created by decision maker, forest manager and ecologists therefore it is appropriate for analyzing landscape fragmentation or describing characteristics of landscape, components of those landscapes (Keleş et al, 2008). However, landscape patterns were complicated; hence, to clarify the relationship of spatial pattern and process it cannot use single metric alone (Ning et al, 2010, Esbah et al, 2009). …”

“…From the point of view of biodiversity conservation and sustainable development, considering these processes is a fundamental requirement for applying spatial management plans for establishing administrative rules and for designing strategies for nature conservation (Burel & Baudry, 2002). In addition, monitoring forest cover change through time to define the forest structure and dynamics has become increasingly important as a resource for forest management for determining the wealth of biodiversity (Baş kent & Jordan, 1996;Esbah, Deniz, & Kara, 2010).…”

“…For complex regional environmental problems, regional spatial pattern is designed to protect and restore biodiversity, and maintain the integrity of the ecosystem structure process, achieving effective control and continuous improvement of the regional ecological environment on the basis of excluded interference in the planning stage. Through adjusting the relationship between human and human, human and nature, the balance of consumer demand, commodity production, resources consumption, environmental impact, and social order are set and organized [9].…”
