EVALUATION OF SURFACE RUNOFF RISK IN THE
FRAME OF LANDSCAPE PATTERN: THE CASE OF

KASTAMONU CENTRAL DISTRICT

Gül Aslı AKSU

ABSTRACT
Planning and managing urban landscapes in line with sustainability goals requires a holistic
approach to analysis and evaluation processes. In this research, the relationship between the
runoff risk and the landscape pattern is discussed in the Kastamonu central district example
to establish relationships and make inferences between the urban ecosystem’s components,
which exhibit a complex structure. This approach has guided the interpretation of cause-effect
relationships and reaching sustainable landscape planning and management decisions. First
of all, the research area’s slope, aspect, elevation and permeability layers were determined as
criteria. Then, surface runoff risk assessment was made by applying risk analysis based on
the analytical hierarchy process. In the second stage, the spatial arrangement of the cultural
landscape types belonging to the research area was evaluated with the help of pattern analysis.
Finally, suggestions for sustainable development were developed by interpreting the relationships
between runoff risk and landscape patterns.
