This study aimed to determine the land-use changes in the Cukurova University campus, providing ecosystem services to the city of Adana with its natural areas. Land uses of the study area were determined via GIS techniques. The Image results were verified by doing field studies. Also, the "Cukurova University Balcali Campus Construction Plan Amendment, 2017 with 1/1000 scale" was assessed to foresee the land-use changes in the future. The most critical land-use changes in the campus were on the campus central area and transportation network pressure increasing, especially after 2000. This change in land uses mainly caused the decrease in biological diversity and the distortion of the balance among other land uses such as forestation, agriculture, and meadow. Suggestions related to the campus central area and transportation network that would not harm or minimize the campus's natural ecosystems and biological diversity were made and mapped.

Çukurova Üniversitesi Yerleşkesinde Alan Kullanım Değişiminin Belirlenmesi

Öz

Bu çalışmada doğal alanlarıyla, Adana kentine ekosistem hizmetleri sağlayan Çukurova Üniversitesi yerleşkesindeki alan kullanım değişimlerinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Yerleşkedeki alan kullanım değişimleri uzaktan algılama tekniği ile belirlenmiştir. Elde edilen görüntüler, saha çalışmaları ile doğrulanmıştır. Ayrıca gelecekteki alan kullanım değişimlerinin öngörülebilmesi için 2017 yılı 1/1000 ölçekli Çukurova üniversitesi Balcalı Kampüsü İmar Planı Değişikliği de değerlendirilmiştir. En önemli alan kullanım değişiminin özellikle 2000 yılından sonra artan yapılaşma ve ulaşım ağı baskısı olduğu belirlenmiştir. Alan kullanımlarındaki bu değişimin, başta biyolojik çeşitliliğin azalması olmak üzere; ağaçlandırma, tarım ve mera gibi diğer alan kullanımları arasındaki dengenin de bozulmasına neden olduğu saptanmıştır. Yerleşkedeki doğal ekosistemler ve biyolojik çeşitliliğe zarar vermeyecek ve/veya en aza indirgeyecek optimal (en uygun) yerleşke merkez alanı ve ulaşım ağı güzergahı ile ilgili öneriler haritalanmıştır.
