TI  - The Use of Landscape Character Analysis to Reveal Differences Between Protected and Nonprotected Landscapes in Kapısuyu Basin
AB  - The European Landscape Convention (ELC) has directed the landscapeclassification towards landscape character analysis. Landscape characteranalysis provides a character-based classification that can combinedifferent values or variables and be applied at different scales to definethe landscapes of each country and define the forces on the landscape. Inthis study, the Kapısuyu Basin of Küre Mountains National Park, whichis one of the hot spots in the world in terms of different landscapecharacter and natural quality, was classified by landscape characteranalysis.In this study, Kapısuyu basin was analyzed on an analytical groundaccording to the landscape variables and the basin landscape types, andthe landscape character area map were obtained based on the dominantfeatures of the area and the cultural landscape pattern. Throughout thebasin, 345 landscape character types and 21 landscape character area wereidentified. Despite having similar values, the surface area of the protectedarea in the national park and the rural area had significant differences inlandscape character ratios and patchiness ratio. Patchiness was seen to behigher in rural areas. When looked at Shannon Diversity Index (SDI)values, it is seen that a high diversity of Landscape Character Types(LCT) exist in the rural areas. Within the scope of this study, the fact thatthe landscape character analysis performed at the basin scale in theprotected area can be evaluated together with different variables andinterpreted from the perspective of holistic landscape planning shows thatthe technique is a positive approach in the evaluation of protected areas.
