    Evaluating Cultural Ecosystem Services Through Geospatial Social Media Data: A Study of Edirne City
    (Springernature, 2024) Ozgenc, Emine Keles; Donmez, Abdullah Huseyin; Ozgenc, Enes
    Cultural ecosystem services (CES) play a crucial role in enhancing human well-being and shaping sustainable landscape management. Geotagged photos shared on social media have emerged as an innovative data source for CES research, offering temporal, spatial, and thematic information on human-nature interactions. This study focuses on assessing CES in Edirne, a significant border city in Turkey, by analyzing geotagged photos obtained from the Flickr social photo network. By analyzing geotagged photos from the Flickr social photo network, CES values were categorized and mapped within the city. The results highlight the significance of cultural heritage and identity values, relying on historical and cultural elements like architectural structures and historical sites. Visitors tend to prefer locations that encompass these elements, emphasizing the importance of preserving and managing the city's cultural heritage in policy-making processes. The study provides valuable insights for landscape planners, cultural heritage organizations, and decision-makers, contributing to sustainable urban governance and informing physical-spatial planning. By considering CES and the contributions of cultural heritage to tourism and the local economy, conservation efforts can be harmonized with economic development. This research demonstrates the potential of social media data in evaluating CES, offering a framework for understanding human-environment interactions, and promoting sustainable practices in urban landscapes.

    Impacts of land use/land cover and climate change on landscape sensitivity in Tunca River sub-basin: Use in spatial planning and sectoral decision processes
    (Academic Press Ltd- Elsevier Science Ltd, 2024) Ozgenc, Emine Keles; Uzun, Osman
    Managing landscape change is increasingly challenging due to rapid anthropogenic shifts. A delicate balance must be struck between the environment and change to ensure landscapes can withstand these impacts. This study conducted in the Tunca River sub-basin of Edirne province, aims to assess landscape sensitivity by examining the influence of land use/land cover (LULC) and climate change on landscape function processes. For this purpose, a methodology was developed based on ecosystem services to determine landscape sensitivity. The results revealed a LULC transformation that could lead to a 60% reduction in forest areas and a 5% and 20% increase in urban and irrigated agricultural areas, respectively. Water and erosion emerged as the most affected landscape function processes. Future scenarios from 2050 to 2070 indicate noteworthy changes in landscape sensitivity, showing an increase in sensitivity in the upper regions of the basin. The study identified high sensitivity in forested areas, moderate sensitivity in agricultural zones, and low sensitivity in micro-basins near residential areas. Protection and improvement strategies are recommended for areas with high and moderate sensitivity, while use-oriented strategies are suggested for those with low sensitivity. This study also establishes a scientific foundation for guiding the protection and management of ecologically sensitive basin areas, offering insights into the effects of landscape change processes at the micro-basin level in connection with climate change models.
