Monitoring the Coastal Changes in Samsun, Turkey

Abstract

In this study, it is aimed to calculate the changes in the coastal area in Samsun city center by filling in the years. Existing aerial photographs and orthophotos of the study area were examined in detail. It has been studied using the ArcMap module of ArcGIS 10 software, using approximately periodic aerial photographs of 1935 and orthophotos of 2012. The amount of filling area in the coastal region of Samsun province was determined as 852.286 m2 between 1935-1972, 1.478.218 m2 between 1972-2006, 2.330.504 m2 between 1935-2006 and 238.316 m2 between 2006-2012. The amount of filling made in the province from 1935 to 2012 was calculated as 2,568,820 m2 in total. As a result, it has been observed that there are significant changes by filling the coastal area in Samsun city center. Changes in coastal areas occur from land to sea or from sea to land. With the method used in this study, not only the area gained in coastal areas, but also the changes in area lost in coastal areas can be calculated.
