“…Because the occurrence of small errors during the georeferencing and digitizing processes, perfect vertical matches between the time periods are impossible. This is mainly the case for linear elements; hence, the calculation Landscape metrics have been developed in the domain of the landscape ecology and are becoming increasingly popular in recent years (Gökyer, 2013;Antrop 2007;Herzog et al, 2001;Fjellstad et al, 2001). They are used to describe the landscape composition and configuration and characterize the landscape structure on three different levels: the individual patches, the land-use types and the entire landscape (Van Eetvelde and Antrop, 2009;Herzog et al, 2001).…”

“…The first metric is the Mean Patch Size (MPS), which can be used to evaluate the fragmentation of the study area (Elkie et al, 1999;Van Eetvelde and Antrop, 2009). A decrease in MPS points towards an increase in landscape fragmentation, and vice versa (Gökyer, 2013). Second, the Mean Shape Index (MSI) is computed.…”

“…Certainly, population growth is increasing in demand for resources and space. This rapid development, infrastructural facilities, and natural-cultural forces [44] affect socioeconomic development, the ecosystem, and environment. Landscape alterations are affected by demographic activities [45].…”

“…For each land-cover dataset, we calculated basic patch and class-level landscape metrics, including number of patches; total, class, and patch area; percentage of landscape occupancy; and contiguity index (Gökyer 2013;McGarigal 2015). These metrics were calculated for the study region as a whole, at the individual county level, and for each land ownership class within the two counties for the two periods (1992 and 2011) under investigation.…”
