dc.description.abstractThis research introduces a scientific methodology to identify areas affected by gully erosion using Geographic Object Based Image Analysis (GEOBIA) and Random Forest (RF) supervised machine learning. The GEOBIA and RF were applied in Besni district, which has a Mediterranean climate, of Adiyaman province in Turkey by including many factors in the model. Estimation Scale Parameter (ESPII) algorithm was used in the segmentation phase. The novelty of this study is the implementation of RF supervised classification algorithm to classify a large number of objects determined after the segmentation process, due to the large size of the study area. Therefore, open access data has been evaluated with high classification accuracy without the need for labor. Precision, Recall and F1-Score values were calculated using true positive (TP), true negative (TN), false positive (FP) and false negative (FN) values based on field observations and Google Earth images of the study area. The TP, TN, FP and FN values were 0.90, 0.95 and 0.92, respectively. In addition, a Kappa-index was calculated as 0.88. The gully erosion map obtained using aforementioned methodology can be used to take necessary measures to prevent further degradation and plan sustainable land uses.
