2 Land cover 2012 Overview of land cover & change The overall pace of land cover development in Turkey has increased, comparing with the previous period. However, the overall annual change rate 0,12% - is still quite low in comparison with other European countries about one half of the European average. The landscape exchange in the country is driven by creation and management, followed by the sprawl of economic sites and infrastructures and internal agricultural conversions. Water bodies creation occurs much more frequently in Turkey, than in the period and became one of the most significant drivers of change in the landscape of this country. The artificial sprawl in Turkey has accelerated with 1.34% annual artificial land take rate is more than twice higher, than in the period. The major concentration of the sprawl is situated around the Bosphorus strait. There is also the highest amount of conversions situated in that area. Unlike in previous period, the changes in land cover are densely scattered over the whole country. Note: The results presented here are based on a change analysis of 44 land cover types mapped consistently on a 1: scale across Europe over more than decade between see Corine land cover (CLC) programme for details. The accounts for Azores and Madeira are not included into this analysis.

4 Artificial surfaces sprawl () 3.8. Artificial land take [ha/year, % of initial year] % 1.34% Artificial sprawl accelerates rapidly The artificial development in Turkey in is very intensive and it is the second most powerful driver of change in the country. Also, comparing with the European average, the artificial land take rate of Turkey is very high 1.34% - which is the second highest in Europe, behind Spain. There has been observed a rapid acceleration of the sprawl the land take rate is more than twice higher than in the period. The major concentration of artificial development is located around the Bosphorus strait the rest of the country is covered by scattered sprawl, with highest density along the western coast and also in the surroundings of the capital city of Ankara. Construction and sprawl of mines and quarrying areas are the two strongest drivers of land take, followed by diffuse residential sprawl and industrial and commercial one. All of these flows show significantly higher intensity, compared with previous the period. Also the pace of internal recycling of developed urban land represented by conversion from construction sites - has increased very rapidly Artificial surfaces 2012 [% of total area] Artificial land take [ha/year] 9% 5% % 1 68% Mean annual artificial change by class [ha/year] Continuous urban fabric Discontinuous urban fabric Industrial or commercial units Road and rail networks and associated land Port areas Airports Mineral extraction sites Dump sites Construction sites Green urban areas Sport and leisure facilities 3
5 Agriculture () Prevailing conversion from pasture to arable Behind the consumption of agricultural land by artificial land take and also by water bodies creation, the development of agricultural land in the country is driven by internal agricultural conversions, which occur with significantly higher intensity, compared to the previous period. Prevailing direction is the conversion from pasture to arable land and permanent crops in particular the diffuse one. However, both diffuse and uniform extension of set aside fallow land and pasture are also very frequent processes in the Turkish landscape. As mentioned above, the agricultural land is frequently consumed by water bodies creation and also by intensive conversion from semi-natural land to agriculture to a lesser extent Agricultural areas 2012 [% of total area] % Development of agricultural areas detailed balance [ha] 0.24% 3.70% 0.76% 0.89% 1.87% 0.48% 0.39% 0.07% % % -0.40% -1.32% -0.07% -0.24% -0.18% % -0.24% % 231 6% % % % Non-irrigated arable land Permanently irrigated land Rice fields Vineyards Consumption of initial land cover Formation of new land cover Fruit trees and berry plantations Olive groves Pastures Annual/ permanent crops Complex cult. patterns Agriculture with nat. veg.

Recent felling and transition is the prevailing direction of these internal flows, which depicts the same situation as in the previous period. Comparing with these conversions, creation over dry semi-natural land is much less frequent, however, it is also a quite usual process in this country. The situation in development is comparable to previous period concerning both quantity of flows and structure. There is a very significant incidence of water bodies creation in Turkey it is consuming mainly agricultural land.
