%J -
%D 2019
%X This study was carried out to determine the class of the land use/cover classes, check and appraisal of land use/cover classes, land use/cover classes according to aridity zones, land use/cover change/conversion (2000-2018) in Konya Basin. Collect Earth, a multipurpose land monitoring software, was used in the study. High and middle resolution image data (with use Google Earth, Bing Maps, Yandex Maps, Google Earth Engine etc.) in Collect Earth software, open source and free, uses for data analysis and together for visual and graphics assessment. Data analysis and numerical results can be obtained by using the SAIKU. At the end of the study, Distribution of land use classes is detect as of 2018; 45.77% Cropland, 5.18% Forest land, 20.86% Grassland, 21.70% Other land, 4.03% Wetlands, 2.46% Settlements. According to aridity zones 53.31% of land use is in semi-arid class. In the semi-arid class, the largest land use class (1,24 million ha) is the cropland class. 35.98% of the total cropland areas within the Konya basin are irrigated cropland areas. 9.40% of the Konya Basin is covered by tree. As Land use change/conversion (2000-2018), the largest area (20521 ha) increase occurred in the agricultural class. In general, conversion is from other land classes to cropland class. The study will provide up to date data with both the thematic map and the numerical data for Konya basin planning in future
