Investigation of spatial change on badlands topography around Kuyulu Village (Adıyaman) with remote sensing and geographic information systems

Abstract

The badlands topography located around Kuyulu Village (Adıyaman) to the west of Atatürk Dam, which is one of the most important erosion area in Southeastern Anatolia in Turkey.  In this study, it is aimed to determine the time-dependent change in the badlands topography area around Kuyulu Village (Adıyaman) by using Remote Sensing and geographic information system techniques. As a result of the research, it was determined that there was a continuous expansion in the badlands area in the period between 1984-2020.
