Abstract

Among other environmental problems, land use characteristics can vary depending on human activity. Natural landscapes have been converted to residential and commercial facilities due to increased human activity. As a result, it is safe to consider the current land use patterns as an indicator of our daily activities. However, these changes have caused serious environmental problems, such as the heat island phenomenon and deterioration of the ecological environment. In this study, we have created a fine land-cover information source using three different classification methods of high-resolution satellite imagery, Geoeye-1 image. Additionally, we have examined and compared the results of classifications (pixel-based classification methods, unsupervised classification, and supervised classification), and have also used an object-based classification technique often used in recent years.
