The results of landscape function analysis, in which the processes were evaluated integrally, showed that %35,35 of the area had middle conservation quality, %34,24 of it had high conservation quality, %18,64 of it had low conservation quality, %8,51 of it had very low conservation quality and %3,26 of it had very high conservation quality.
