%X Along with the spatial growth and development of urban areas, fundamental changes in urban land use have been taken place. If urban growth does not take place in a planned and controlled manner, there are various problems such as environmental pollution, crooked and irregular build-up, agricultural land stays in the city and the loss of qualifications. The urban growth observed in Turkey especially in the 1980s and afterwards spread rapidly throughout the country. In this context, in this study, Batman city which is one of the cities where rapid urbanization and industrialization seen in Turkey is being investigated. In this study, it was determined how Batman City, which is experiencing rapid urbanization process, has improved its use of the land in and around the city by using satellite images of 1985 and 2016 years. In addition, in the period between 1985 and 2016, it was determined how much the city expands according to the land use classification within the urban development area. Landsat TM and OLI satellite images of 1985 and 2016 were used to determine urban development of Batman City and urban land use classification. It has been determined that there is a conversion to settlement from all terrain classes obtained as a result of the work. As a result of the analyses made on the basis of the satellite images of the years 1985 and 2016, Batman has grown by 1730 hectares over a 30-year period and achieved a spatial expansion of about 167%. On the other hand, in the 30-year period, the dry agricultural lands decreased by approximately 2400 hectares and experienced a loss of close to 20%
