DETECTION OF ECOLOGICAL NETWORKS AND CONNECTIVITY WITH ANALYZING THEIR EFFECTS ON SUSTAINABLE URBAN DEVELOPMENT

Öz:
Rapid urbanization is a leading process for the global environmental problems such as climate change,massive loss of natural habitats, an increase of air, water, soil quality and social troubles. Within the scope of eliminationof these effects, detecting, preserving and managing a strategically planned ecological network can provide ecological,economic, social and cultural benefits. Specially, connectivity of landscape patches in urban areas is an important factorfor urban ecosystem cycle. Ecological studies under these circumstances are concentrated in urban areas and strategies arebeing developed to create green systems by establishing links between green areas. In this study, a method based on thegraph theory has been proposed to create ecological links between important landscape patches in the Chennai City and theeffects of the created system on the city has been discussed. Firstly, a comprehensive database is created for Chennai in theGIS. And then, important urban landscape patches and connectivity are detected with use of Conefor software that enhancesthe quality of landscape patches and ensures that landscape connectivity is sustainable. With this scope, we used integralindex of connectivity (IIC) index and the probability of connectivity (PC) index that have been known to show an enhancedperformance for urban habitat conservation planning and change monitoring applications. Ultimately, the resulting findingsare mapped in the GIS environment, and the ecological, social and cultural impacts of the system are discussed based oninternational literature.
