Özet

For agricultural and environmental applications remote sensing techniques can be very important by providing information on processes such as land use, land cover, residential areas and monitoring areas which were influenced from flood. Availability of highresolution imagery, such as IKONOS, has opened new possibilities for satellite based mapping. The whole study focuses on a selected river called Deʇirmendere in Trabzon, Turkey. This study aims to get a visual risk zone state for this area and to investigate performance of IKONOS image such an application. At the end of the study, information about environmental characteristics and settlement of the workspace was gained and for a probable flood disaster a risk zone was defined for the workspace. And then possible precautions that can be taken in this area discussed. This application is only a sample study for more detailed applications.
