    Investigating changes in land cover in high-density settlement areas by protected scenario
    (SELCUK UNIV PRESS, 2022) Yakup, Ahmet Emir; Ayazlı, İsmail Ercüment
    Uncontrolled urban growth is one of the most prominent problems in modern urbanism and planning. Rapid urbanization and population growth cause changes in land cover. In addition, determining the effects of these changes is essential in terms of sustainable urban management policies. Urban growth is a complex, dynamic structure that initiates changes in land cover. For this reason, simulation models are used extensively in planning studies. In this study, land cover simulation of the Sancaktepe district in Istanbul was carried out with the SLEUTH model based on cellular automata (CA). The study aims to identify the damage caused by uncontrolled urbanization. In this context, a scenario was created based on the assumption that forests will be protected based on the changes in land cover that occurred between 1961- 2014. The data used in the model were generated from cadastral maps on a parcel basis. For this purpose, four-period data sets (1961-1992-2001-2014) were prepared between 1961- 2014. According to the simulation results, 82% of agricultural land, 2% of forest land and 84% of open land will probably be converted into residential use. According to the results, it has been determined that almost all of the open and agricultural land in the towns of Pasakoy and Samandira in the district of Sancaktepe have been converted into residential areas. According to the prediction that the changes in current land cover will continue, no change is expected in forests, while it has been determined that the potential to transform agricultural land and open land into settlement areas is quite high.

    Monitoring the deformation and strain analysis on the Ataturk Dam, Turkey
    (Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2018) Yavaşoğlu, Hasan Hakan; Kalkan, Yunus; Tiryakioğlu, İbrahim; Yiğit, Cemal Özer; Özbey, Volkan; Alkan, Mehmet Nurullah; Bilgi, Serdar; Alkan, Reha Metin
    Every man-made structure creates certain risks – dams are no exception. Most failures in man-made structures that have occurred could have been avoided if the structures’ behaviour had been inspected, monitored, and analyzed continuously, and if proper corrective measures had been taken in a timely fashion. The DSI (The General Directorate of State Hydraulic Works), which is the institution responsible for dam safety, has long used surveying methods to measure the displacements of geodetic points as a part of dam monitoring policy. In this study, we focus on the dam’s mechanical behaviour throughout a time period of more than 10 years. These study results have been derived from a separate, ongoing project that has monitored deformation on the Ataturk Dam and is now determining the water level of the reservoir. The project results show that although the dam body has become more stable and the water load behind the dam has increased, the rate of displacement of the dam has declined significantly. From these results, it can be seen that the reservoir water level can be increased evenly over time and that 542 m is the maximum water level of the dam’s reservoir. © 2017 The Author(s).
