Özet:

More effective and sustainable land use can be achieved by determining and tracking land use / land cover characteristics. In this study, CORINE (1990, 2000, 2006, 2012 and 2018) data were used to obtain the Land use / Land cover classes for the administrative borders of Denizli Province. CORINE data is a data set that includes land cover classes in a time series covering the years 1990-2018. The land classes are divided into 7 categories and scrutinized as settlement, agricultural land, forest, pasture, water surface, bare-rocky and stony areas and other areas. According to the findings, in 1990 residential areas were 19,335 ha, pasture area 50,840 ha, forest areas 406,829 ha, bare-rock and stony areas 37,914 ha, water surface 9,085 ha, agricultural lands 596,615 ha and other areas 296,025 hectares. In 2018, residential areas: 27,145 ha, pasture area: 37,891 ha, forest areas: 432,678 ha, bare-rocky and stony areas: 24,132 ha, water surface: 10,962 ha, agricultural lands: 659,515 ha and other areas are 423,329 ha. Between 1990 and 2018, there was an increase of 0.36% in forest areas, 0.14% in water surface, 2.83% in agricultural areas, 0.15% in residential areas and 1.7% in other areas, while 0.19% in pasture areas and 4.99% decrease is observed in bare rocky and stony areas. At the end of the study, it was understood that Ak / Aö changes have gone through 28 years (1990-2018).
