Abstract
Unplanned city growth is an indicator of rapid industrialization which, usually, reduces the quality of the environmental health of a region - sometimes disastrously. Controlled urban growth through planning is, therefore, very important. The use of multitemporal and multispectral satellite data, in combination with ground observations, can be used for land use change detection analyses which, in turn, can be used as a basis in planning. In this study, LANDSAT-TM and SPOT-P multidate data were used to monitor the urban changes in the Büyükçekmece district of Tstanbul in Turkey. An automatic image registration process has been developed, and difference image and ratio image methods were used. Change detection analyses results showed a great urban expansion at the eastern and southeastren parts of the study area between the period of 1984-1998.
