The vegetation structure of an area has an important function in determining the contribution of that area to natural life and thus providing data to the landscape planning process. The aim of the course is to determine the vegetation structure in the use of natural and cultural areas.
The types of land use in landscape mosaic have different values from each other in ensuring the continuity of natural life due to their unique structures. The summary content of this course is as follows: The importance of vegetation analysis in landscape planning, the vegetation structure in natural and cultural areas, the determination of the vegetation structure by numerical methods, the use of remote sensing and geographic information systems in the determination of vegetation analysis, the use of vegetation analysis in landscape structure indexes and the place of vegetation analysis data in landscape planning.
