Monitoring of marble quarries expansion and land cover changes using satellite images and GIS on a rural settlement of Burdur province, Turkey
Abstract
This study was actualized in Karamanlı district of Burdur province in order to draw attention to the
increase in the surface areas of marble quarries and to monitor the changes of land cover types during the period
from 1995 to 2020. Geographic information system tools and supervised maximum likelihood classification
approach provided a methodological basis for this study. Landsat satellite images used in this study were
obtained for 1995, 2000, 2005, 2010, 2015 and 2020. Five land cover classes have been identified, and these
classes include artificial surfaces, agricultural areas, forest and semi-natural areas, water surfaces, and marble
quarries. Change detection was performed after classifying the relevant images. During 25-year period, an
increase of 56.86% in artificial surfaces, a decrease of 0.09% in agricultural areas, a decrease of 13.42% in forest
and semi-natural areas and a decrease of 13.76% in water surfaces were designated. The most striking change in
the study area occurred in marble quarries. Marble quarries showed a very serious increase of 891.44% (from
148.41 hectares to 1577.52 hectares). It has been observed that the marble quarries are mostly transitioned to
forest and semi-natural areas. The findings of this study will provide an important background for the
development of environmental protection strategies, and spatial planning studies.
