 Applicability of European landscape typology in Turkey (Çakırlar Watershed case/Antalya)Cumhur Güngöroğlu, Ali Kavgacı, Ufuk Coşgun, Mehmet Çalıkoğlu, Erdal Örtel and Neslihan Balpınar Landscape Research, 2018, vol. 43, issue 6, 831-845 Abstract: The aim of this study is to put forward Turkey as a case study of the applicability of the European approach to landscape characterisation studies at the local scale within the context of the European Landscape Convention. For this purpose, a classification of landscape types with the help of LANMAP typology is suggested at the European scale in a basin in Turkey where there are obvious differences in terms of landscape characteristics. In particular, this study examines the usability of a countrywide thematic database when making this classification. It is understood that a mapping system as well as a common nomenclature of types of land covered at the country scale is insufficient for the suggested methodology for Europe. Later, results of the continuation of a classification system at the local scale for landscape characterisation are discussed, and some deficiencies of LANMAP when characterising the landscapes at this scale are mentioned.
