TI  - TEMPORAL MONITORING OF LAND USE/LAND COVER CHANGE IN 
KAHRAMANMARAS CITY CENTER
AB  - Irregular urbanization causes problems such as decrease in fertile agricultural areas, irregular industrialization and 
urbanization. To provide a healthier life opportunity for future generations without disturbing nature, it is essential to 
determine the temporal changes in land use and to make land management plans accordingly. In this study, land use/land 
cover (LULC) change occurred in Kahramanmaras province within 30 years was investigated by remote sensing and 
integration of Geographic Information Systems. Landsat satellite images of 1988-1998-2008-2018 were obtained for the 
production of LULC maps. Each image was classified according to supervised classification approach using the support 
vector machines (SVMs) algorithms. The confusion matrix was created for each year to examine the accuracy of the LULC 
maps. The overall accuracy of the thematic maps was obtained as 91.76%, 93.56%, 86.89% and 88.29%, respectively.
Also, Kappa values of thematic maps for each year were obtained as 0.88, 0.91, 0.81 and 0.84, respectively. When the 
results were examined, the development of industry in the city area and the construction of the airport contributed to the 
development of the social and economic structure of the city. The increase in the number of housing in the related regions 
has led to an increase in the amount of urban areas and a decrease in agricultural areas.
