ANALYSIS OF URBAN LAND USE CHANGE USING REMOTE SENSING AND DIFFERENT CHANGE DETECTION TECHNIQUES: THE CASE OF ANKARA PROVINCE

This study aims to use remote sensing techniques to map the urban region of Ankara from the past to the present, assessing the nature, magnitude and direction of changes within the area, including the transformation of LULC classes and explaining the driving forces behind these transformations.

description This study aims to use remote sensing techniques to map the urban region of Ankara from the past to the present, assessing the nature, magnitude and direction of changes within the area, including the transformation of LULC classes and explaining the driving forces behind these transformations. The study encompasses three stages. Firstly, Landsat 7 ETM+ images from 2000 and Sentinel-2 satellite images from 2020 were obtained for Ankara city and surroundings through the Google Earth Engine (GEE) platform. Image classification was conducted for both 2000 and 2020 using 'Blue', 'Green', 'Red', 'Vegetation Red Edge1', 'Vegetation Red Edge2', 'Vegetation Red Edge3', 'NIR', 'Vegetation Red Edge4', 'Water vapour', ' SWIR1', 'SWIR2' bands, as well as 'NDWI', 'NDVI', 'NDBI' indices on the GEE platform. LULC was classified using the Random Forest (RF) classifier, which included six classes: urban area, forest, water surfaces, open areas, agricultural areas and roads. Secondly, the LULC maps of the 2000 and 2020 images were classified using RF. The study employed the 'Categorical Change, Pixel Value Change and Time Series Change' methods to determine the transformations between LULC categories. Specifically, the urban change within the study area increased by 70% between 2000 and 2020. Over the past 20 years, from 2000 to 2020, the urban areas in Ankara expanded by 170%. Consequently, accurately determining the nature, magnitude and direction of urban development using remote sensing data offers valuable baseline information for various disciplines related to spatial planning at local and national scales.
