Monitoring of Land Use/Land Cover Change and Statistical Analysis of Change within the Scope of Urban Sprawl; North Cyprus Case

Abstract

Monitoring land use and land cover (LULC) change is one of the main methods used in assessing landscape dynamics and defining environmental health at different spatio-temporal scales. In this study, the LULC changes between 2013 and 2021 in some centers (Lefkoşa, Girne, Gazimağusa, and Lapta) located in the Northern Cyprus Island were monitored through UA and GIS technologies, and a projection for the year 2050 was created within the scope of the settlements. The results showed that, specifically for settlements, there was an increase of 65.59% in the Girne region, 33.60% in the Lapta region, 66.87% in the Lefkoşa region, and 83.50% in the Gazimağusa region, and this increase was mostly in the north and west directions. As a result of statistical analysis, the 2050 projection reveals that settlement centers will spread significantly. It is anticipated that the results of this study will be a reference for decision-makers within the scope of land management and urban settlement planning in Northern Cyprus.
