Journal Title: The Journal of International Social Research - Year 2016, Vol 9, Issue 44
Abstract
Topographical structure, are primarily because of the restrictive effects of land use practices for land-use planning. In the number and distribution of land use types are decisive the role of the physiographic features. The aim of this study is to determine land use classifications according to elevation zones of Taskopru district and its suitability. Elevation zones within district boundaries, (<750, 1000, 1250 and 2004 m) is represented by five levels. Land use classes have been defined from the digital forest map. The topography of the district has been shaped by the Gokirmak river. The river flows in the southwest-northeast direction in the district. Along this route, altitude (<750 m) and slope (<6º) are in the least value. Therefore, large agricultural areas have been established in this region. The city center and other settlements were collected in the elevation zone (<750 m) that can be made more agricultural activity. Majority of the population contain this elevation zone (<750 m). Forest areas, in northern and southern the district's more inclined and high zones (>1000 m), are spread in the rugged terrain. The bare surfaces and sparse vegetation areas are mostly spread in the transition zones between the forest and agricultural areas. Streams and ponds in the district are important water surfaces. These areas are located mainly in the lower/middle altitude.
