Use of SLEUTH Model in Land Cover/Land Use Change Simulation, Corum City Example

Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Mechanical and Civil Engineering (IOSR-JMCE) - Year 2018, Vol 15, Issue 5

Abstract

In this study, it is aimed to forecast for the future with respect to land cover/land use (year 2040) Turkey, Corum, one of the medium-sized city to understand much better the urban structure. SLEUTH model which is one of simulation technics in Cellular automata-based urban growth and land cover/land use change models was used. 2040 land cover/land use forecast for Corum city was carried out by means of SLEUTH model carried out by using development scenario of Current trends was estimated. Main materials of the study comprise Ikonos-2 for 2002 and 2006, QuickBird-2 for 2008, SPOT-5 for 2010 and SPOT-6 satellite images for the year 2014. According to carried out SELUTH simulation results to determine estimation of year 2040 change, the most changes have occurred in urban areas. According to data gained by current trends of development scenarios, it is estimated that urban structure will increase by 49.3% (1001 ha).
