Özet

There are needs for considering social, economic and ecological decisions together in planning regional and national development. This requires better understanding of land use dynamics through the use of real spatial data and regular monitoring of changes in a proper planning framework. Similar requirements apply to mining areas where land cover changes are fast. Inspection and regular monitoring of land use changes are more facilitated by means of advancing technologies. With the help of technological decision support mechanisms that include remote sensing tools and geographic information systems, it is easier to have access to accurate, reliable and up-to-date information on land-related processes. CORINE (Coordination of Information on the Environment) project is one of the significant land management projects in the context of GMES (Global Monitoring for Environment and Security) Initiative of the European Union. With CORINE, it became possible to develop land cover maps that include land information in a spatial context. In the presented study, it is aimed to unfold development dynamics through spatial statistics in the context of CORINE data and assess spatial characterizations that relate to the mining sector in Turkey.
