چکیده
Abstract During the last decade, environmental issues have gained saliency in Turkish politics, especially after 2013 Gezi Park demonstrations. This article is on relationship between politics and deforestation Turkey. It combines possible major drivers—political, economic, climatic—of Turkey with high-resolution satellite data to conduct a systemic empirical analysis. The results show that districts which Justice Development Party mayors are power higher deforestation. effect around an average combined area of forty-two football fields given district. also shows increased mining activities newly built hydropower plants positively correlate

Estimation of Carbon Release from Tropical Deforestation Using High-resolution Satellite Data
* Corresponding author and present address: Bangladesh Space Research and Remote Sensing Organization (SPARRSO), Agargaon, Sher-E-Bangla Nagar, Dhaka-1207, Bangladesh Abstract – Recent global climate change is the consequence of many human activities; deforestation in the tropics is one of them. The research estimated the amount of carbon flux due to forest cover change by combining satellite i...
متن کاملStatus of High Resolution Solar Irradiance Mapping from Satellite Data
This paper presents examples of high resolution solar radiation maps generated from satellite data using the semiempirical model previously developed by the authors. The paper includes a multi-climatic performance validation of the model in its latest operational configuration and discusses its eventual utilization in the preparation of the latest US National Solar Radiation Data Base. 1. RECAP...
متن کاملExtraction of Buildings from High-resolution Satellite Data and Lidar
Acquiring accurate detection and description of buildings is a difficult object recognition problem due to a high complexity of the scene content and the object representation. Since most urban scenes deliver very rich information, a robust separation of fore (objects to be reconstructed) from background (irrelevant features) is an essential process in object recognition system, but is difficul...
متن کاملDetection of Landslides from High Resolution Optical Satellite Data
Landslide is a major natural disaster in India or countries elsewhere where significant portion of landmass is in mountainous areas. For such areas, identification of landslide forms a fundamental input to develop landslide hazard management and mitigation measures. Previously, landslides used to be identified either by manual image interpretation process or by field investigations that demande...
متن کاملExtraction of buildings from high resolution satellite data
This paper describes the methods that can be used to detect building objects under the circumstances of high object density and scene complexity seen in 1-metre high resolution satellite imagery. In order to reduce the building hypothesis space in early processes, a local Fourier analysis does an analysis of the dominant orientation angle in a building cluster. This serves to extract the focuse...
