Abstract

This study aims at the analyzing and mapping of biotopes in the city of Kahramanmaras, Turkey. Three main and 25 sub biotope types were identified which characterize general structure of the study area. High resolution satellite image was used for obtaining ground information on urban biotopes. The biotopes were analyzed from the viewpoint of areal coverage, number of parcels, and vegetation cover. According to results, agricultural areas are the main biotope group that covers the largest area (4270.96 ha) among all biotopes, what follow this biotope group are non-built-up areas (3181.66 ha) and built-up areas (2694.42 ha). From the viewpoint of total number of parcels, it was seen that the built-up areas biotope group has the highest number with 18,170. Our results revealed that rapid encroachment of urban areas and agricultural activities have caused a decrease in the areal coverage of the some biotope types, and in the distribution areas and samples of the some natural plant species. It is concluded that biotope maps should be used as a basic tool in planning and management of land uses to protect the living habitats for continuity of natural ecosystems
