Izmir is the 3rd largest and most populous city in Turkey, industrial city, significant center of trade and industry, major seaport of strategic importance. Therefore, region is experiencing strong anthropogenic load. At the same time, Izmir area has high ecological significance. Research focused on satellite image processing using Erdas Imagine. Main research question is: did landscapes change within the test area of the Izmir region in the last 13 years (1987-2000)? Data include Landsat TM images for 1987 and 2000. Two Landsat TM images with a time difference of 13 years covering study area were classified and compared, changed in land cover types detected. Current research contributed towards methodological application of Erdas Imagine software for satellite image processing aimed at environmental monitoring and mapping. |
