英文摘要 | Gully erosion is one of the exogenetic processes which changes the curvature of the earth. The rate of gully erosion is high in the arid and semi-arid regions experiencing less amount of vegetation cover. Adana Province being one of the major provinces in the Mediterranean Sea Region due to the presence of fertile lands, agricultural activities, and densely populated areas. This research produces gully erosion susceptibility surfaces over the cukurova Plain in the Adana sub-region of Turkey. To estimate gully erosion susceptibility, various inputs such as land use map, lithology map slope map, and aspect map were used as gully erosion prediction factors. A classified 30-m spatial resolution Landsat satellite imagery and digital elevation models were used as the ancillary data inputs to provide the best results. The objective of this study is to find out the areas affected by gully erosion in the Adana Province of Turkey. For the purpose of analysis, multi-criteria decision analysis techniques have been applied. The vegetation of this proposed area is sparse which leads to the rapid erosion of soil and also most of the areas are associated with the badlands and gullies which are associated with steep slopes. This study reveals that the impact of gully erosion is high on the northern and north western sides of the provinces where the density of the drainage network is high. Those non-perennial small rivers create many small badlands in this area which leads to loss of fertile soil. This research is very helpful to take various planning strategies for the physical and social development of the study area where agricultural activities are dominant. The maps which are produced in this study will be helpful for the planners, decision makers to develop future planning strategies for the sustainable growth and development of this area. Therefore, the used methodology can be used to generate gully erosion susceptibility surfaces in other areas of the Mediterranean region of Turkey that have similar geographical conditions. |
