Abstract City planners and policy makers are increasingly becoming more concerned about urbanization and urban growth since trends and patterns of urbanization have huge effect on socio-economic development. During the past decades, both the scale and pattern of urban growth have been transformed with increasing rapidity. Increasing urban growth through the world has aroused concerns over the degradation of environment. Therefore, understanding the dynamics of urban systems and evaluating the impacts of urban growth on the environment are needed and they involve modeling. Models used in land use change analysis are indispensable because these models are important tools that support spatial urban planning for sustainable development. The aim of this study was to predict and analyze the impact of urban growth and land use/land cover (LULC) change using SLEUTH Model for Bornova District of Izmir Metropolitan Area. In this aspect, SLEUTH Model, a spatially explicit cellular automata model, was used to simulate future (2009-2040) urban expansion and LULC change in Bornova, the fastest growing district of Izmir Metropolitan Area. The model was calibrated with historical data for the period 1984-2009 that are extracted from a time series of Landsat 5 TM images. The dataset consists of historical urban extents (1984, 1990, 2000, 2009), land use (1984, 2009), transportation (1984, 1990, 2000, 2009), slope, hillshade, and excluded layers. Future growth patterns were predicted based on growth coefficients derived during the calibration phase. After calibrating the model successfully, the spatial pattern of urban growth for the period from 1984 to 2040 was predicted. In order to predict the future development and change, three scenarios were developed based on no protection, current trends and managed growth. The scenario predictions were discussed in detail. Using models that project future urban growth and land use/land cover change such as SLEUTH has become a necessity in order to take appropriate measures to ensure nature conservation and succeed in physical planning studies. Keywords: SLEUTH modeling, urban growth, land use/land cover change, Bornova, Remote Sensing, GIS.

INTRODUCTION City planners and policy makers are increasingly becoming more concerned about urbanization and urban growth since trends and patterns of urbanization have huge effect on socio-economic development (Antrop, 2000). During the past decades, both the scale and pattern of urban growth have been transformed with increasing rapidity. Increasing urban growth through the world has aroused concerns over the degradation of environment. Therefore, understanding the dynamics of urban systems and evaluating the impacts of urban growth on the environment are needed and they involve modeling (Antrop, 2004). Models used in land use change analysis are indispensable because these models are important tools that support spatial urban planning for sustainable development (Nurlu et al. 2008; Erdogan and Nurlu, 2010). It is well-known that urban growth has altered world landscape especially during the last two centuries. Throughout the world, urban areas have had larger spatial extent in order to accommodate larger population. During the last 200 years, the world’s urban population has increased over 100 times while the world’s total population has multiplied only six times (Stalker, 2000). Masser (2001) has stated that urban growth was inevitable at least for the next two decades and most of this growth would occur in the developing countries. Turkey is also one of the developing countries which are subjected to urban growth during the past century. Urban population of Turkey has doubled the rural population by 2011 and is expected to quadruple in the next three decades (Fig. 1).

SLEUTH is a cellular automaton (CA) model designed for modeling urban growth and land use/land cover change and developed by Keith C. Clarke at University of California at Santa Barbara in collaboration with the US Geological Survey (Gigalopolis 2011), which has been used worldwide (Oguz, in press; Oguz et al. 2010; Jantz et al. 2010; Rafiee et al. 2009; Oguz et al. 2008; Oguz et al. 2007; Oguz et al. 2004; Yang and Lo 2003; Silva and Clarke, 2002; Clarke and Gaydos 1998; Clarke et al. 1997). In this study, an existing cellular automaton model, SLEUTH, was applied to Bornova District, located on the Izmir metropolitan area, which has experienced rapid land-use change in recent decades. Future growth was projected out to 2040 assuming three different policy scenarios: 1) Scenario 1: No protection over natural and semi-natural areas, 2) Scenario 2: Management with partial protection, and 3) Scenario 3: Management with maximum protection.

MATERİALS AND METHODS Study Area Izmir is located along the outlying waters of the Gulf of Izmir on the eastern shoreline of the Aegean Sea. It is the third most populous and the second largest port city in Turkey (Wikipedia, 2011). The city of Izmir is composed of several districts, of which, Bornova has experienced rapid growth in terms of population and spatial extent especially during the last decades (Fig. 2).

Fig. 2. The study area: Bornova district of Izmir Metropolitan Area

The district of Bornova covers an area of approximately 21400 ha and altitudes ranging from 3 to 1090 m above sea level. The area enjoys typical Mediterranean climate with mild rainy winters and hot dry summers. The average annual temperature is 17.5 ºC and mean annual temperatures rise to 28 ºC in July and August and decrease to 8 ºC in January. Mean annual precipitation is about 600 mm, most of which occur in December (TSMS, 2010). The study area is dominated by typical Mediterranean flora. The area is predominantly covered with Mediterranean vegetation consisting of Red pine (Pinus brutia) and maquis (Quercus coccifera, Myrtus communis and Laurus nobilis). The topography of the area is generally characterized by rolling hills and open plains, with grasslands, croplands, forests, urban zones, and scattered water bodies as the predominant land cover types. Topography is relatively flat with 43% of the study area ranges in 0-6% slope. On the other hand, 11.5% of the study area has a slope greater than 30%. Bornova's vast plain has been a preferred location since more than a century for Izmir's industrial base. The choice of Bornova by numerous official institutions as their regional headquarters, combined with the services industry, with medical and legal services especially standing out, as well as other professions, all contribute to the pace of the district (Fig 3). Agricultural production is comparatively very modest in added value. Bornova was chosen based on the preliminary investigation where urban sprawl is prevalent. Because of the population and economic growth, the region has experienced significant alteration of its natural landscapes as its urban built-up land increases.

Fig. 3. The population change of Bornova District (TSI, 2010)

The Model and Data This research has employed CA-based model, SLEUTH, which is capable of predicting the urban growth and land use/land cover change at regional, continental and even global scales. The name of the model is an acronym derived from the initials of the model’s input layers; Slope, Landuse, Excluded, Urban, Transportation and Hillshade (Fig. 4). The input layers to predict future urban growth and land use/land cover change using SLEUTH are shown in table 1 below.

The model is implemented in three phases: preparation of input layers, calibration phase where historic growth patterns are simulated, and prediction phase, where those historic growth patterns are projected into the future. Input layers, as shown in table 1 above, were compiled using remote sensing (RS) and geographic information systems (GIS) techniques. The model requires that all the input layers must be in same extent, same projection and same spatial resolution. Thus, all data were rectified with an acceptable root mean square error (RMSE) and resampled into 30 meter using nearest neighbor algorithm. Then, study area, Bornova District, was clipped out from the Landsat 5 TM satellite images. 1984 and 2009 land use/land cover layers were derived using 1984 and 2009 clipped Landsat 5 TM images, which were then classified into 7 different classes using both unsupervised and supervised classification techniques: 1- urban, 2- agriculture, 3- forest, 4- maquis/herb. 5- salines, 6- water body, 7- others. The urban classes of these land use layers were extracted to be used as 1984 and 2009 urban extents. 1990 and 2000 clipped Landsat TM images were then classified into only 2

classes: 1- urban, and 2- nonurban. Transportation layers, on the other hand, were prepared by digitizing only the major highways of the study area from Landsat TM and topographic map, and then converted into raster format. Percent slope and hillshade images were created from the digital elevation model (DEM). Various scenarios can be prepared and applied to the model with excluded layer, which indicates areas that are partially or completely excluded from development (Jantz et al. 2010). After preparing all the input layers as shown in Fig. 4, they were converted into 8-bit grayscale graphics interchange format (GIF) image format.

Fig. 5. The flowchart of SLEUTH model

Method The model’s flowchart is illustrated in Fig. 5 above. Future urban growth and land use/land cover change were predicted in SLEUTH, which employs four growth types: spontaneous growth, which simulates the random urbanization of land; new spreading centers, which simulates the development of new urban areas; edge growth, which simulates growth occurring on edges of already urbanized land; and road-influenced growth, which simulates the influence of transportation network on development. These growth types are controlled by five growth coefficients; diffusion, breed, spread, slope resistance, and road gravity, as shown in table 2.

Before starting calibration phase, the model was first tested with the prepared input 8-bit grayscale gif images before proceeding exhaustive and rigorous calibration phase. The model was calibrated in three phases: Coarse, where the spatial resolution of all input layers was reduced to ¼; Fine, where the resolution was reduced to ½; and Final, where input layers were used in original resolution. The product of selected metrics by Dietzel and Clarke (2007) was employed during calibration. After rigorous calibration phase, the parameter values to be used in

prediction phase were retrieved. These values were used in prediction phase to predict the future urban growth and land use/land cover change (Fig. 6).

Fig. 6. The growth coefficients used in prediction phase

Three different policy scenarios have been developed using three different excluded layers (Fig. 7): 1- Scenario 1: No protection over natural/semi-natural areas, 2- Scenario 2: Management with partial protection, and 3- Scenario 3: Management with maximum protection.

The first scenario assumes no protection over all natural/semi-natural areas such as agricultural lands, forests, parks, maquis and herbaceous. On the other hand, the second scenario assumes partial protection over natural and semi-natural lands reflecting current trends. Finally, the third scenario, however, reflects a strong commitment to resource protection (Table 3).

Fig. 7. Exclusion levels for each scenario RESULTS

The model’s prediction phase has been executed after growth coefficients have been retrieved over a rigorous calibration phase. According to the results, the first scenario predictions show the highest dispersed development patterns due to the lack of protection over natural/seminatural areas as occurring mostly in and around existing urban centers (Figs. 8-10) as expected.

The impact assessment has also been done for each scenario as shown in Fig. 11 below. According to this assessment, forest land was the most affected from development with a loss close to 1,500 ha in scenario 1 by 2040, and agricultural land was found to be the least affected class after salines (Fig. 11).

Fig. 11. Impact assessment for the three scenarios

DISCUSSION A realistic modeling system is critical in urban growth and land use/land cover change studies to simulate the potential impacts of incentive policies. CA-based models represent feasible approach since they are capable of predicting the complex behavior of urban systems. The visualization tool is the SLEUTH model’s best feature since the visualization of potential land use change makes the model powerful for raising public awareness. SLEUTH model could be used to guide more localized modeling efforts after evaluating the findings from this study. Even though excluded layer is ideal for simulating the future development, the SLEUTH model does not have an adequate mechanism to simulate the potential impacts of incentive policies. Furthermore, using different data sources to prepare input layers may compromise the accuracy of the model. Therefore, consistent and reliable data derived from RS imageries were employed in this study. The model may have some weaknesses but it may still be a useful tool for assessing the impacts of alternative policy scenarios.

INTRODUCTION Planners and policy makers are increasingly becoming more concerned about urbanization and urban growth since trends and patterns of urbanization have huge effect on socio-economic development. During the past decades, both the scale and pattern of urban growth have been transformed with increasing rapidity. Increasing urban growth through the world has aroused concerns over the degradation of environment.

Therefore, understanding the dynamics of urban systems and evaluating the impacts of urban growth on the environment are needed and they involve modeling. Models used in land use change analysis are indispensable because these models are important tools that support spatial urban planning for sustainable development.

INTRODUCTION It is well-known that urban growth has altered world landscape especially during the last two centuries. Throughout the world, urban areas have had larger spatial extent in order to accommodate larger population. During the last 200 years, the world’s urban population has increased over 100 times while the world’s total population has multiplied only six times.

INTRODUCTION Masser (2001) has stated that urban growth was inevitable at least for the next two decades and most of this growth would occur in the developing countries. Turkey is also one of the developing countries which are subjected to urban growth during the past century. Urban population of Turkey has doubled the rural population by 2011 and is expected to quadruple in the next three decades.

AIM The aim of this study was to predict and analyze the impact of urban growth and land use/land cover (LULC) change using SLEUTH Model for Bornova District of Izmir Metropolitan Area.

Future growth was projected out to 2040 assuming three different policy scenarios:

Scenario 1

Scenario 2

Scenario 3

no protection over natural/semi-natural areas

management with partial protection

management with maximum protection

METHOD Future urban growth and land use/land cover change were predicted in SLEUTH, SLEUTH which employs four growth types:

spontaneous growth, which simulates the random urbanization of land; new spreading centers, which simulates the development of new urban areas; edge growth, which simulates growth occurring on edges of already urbanized land; and road-influenced growth, which simulates the influence of transportation network on development. These growth types are controlled by five growth coefficients;

diffusion, breed, spread, slope resistance, and road gravity. Growth Types
