The aim of this study is to determine the changes and transformations in the land use / land cover (LULC) between 2000 and 2020 in Kaş district of Antalya province, which is an important tourism and agricultural region in Turkey. LULC maps were derived by manual digitization method in ArcGIS 10.5 software using Landsat 7 ETM+ and Landsat 8 OLI satellite images dated 2000 and 2020, respectively. 5 landscape metrics at the class level of the FRAGSTATS v4.2 software were calculated to detect the change in LULC. The transformations that occurred in the LULC were calculated using the ENVI 5.1 software Thematic Change Wofkflow tool. As a result, it has been determined that the built-up areas have increased by approximately 2.5 times, especially in the areas close to the coasts, and greenhouse production has started to be used as an important economic resource in the study area during 20-year period. Also, whilst the 4-fold increase in the mining areas caused losses in forest areas, there were transformations from the areas with little or no vegetation to greenhouse production areas and bare surfaces.
