From the accuracy analysis made, the desired accuracy was reached and zonal values of each class were calculated from 
the classification results (Table 3).

4 RESULTS 
When the classification result of the test site belonging to the year 1984 is examined, especially the stands of Castanea 
sativa is significantly differentiated from the other tree stands as it has got wider leaves and displays quick growth . As 
stands of Castanea sativa are flourishing species in terms of wealth, they are mixed with the Quercus spp. of the same 
age, the dominance being held by stands of Castanea sativa. As there is more growth especially in the riverbeds and 
the thickness of diameter is increased rapidly, stand of pure Carpinus betulus is clearly distinguished. 
When the classification result of the test site belonging to the year 1997 is examined, it can be seen that especially 
stands of pure Carpinus betulus and at certain locations pure Quercus spp. are clearly distinguished. As a result of the 
classification, it was seen that chestnut trees encroached into the areas of oak trees and woods. Stands of Castanea 
sativa show quick growth and have richer properties than Quercus spp., therefore, have more dominant character than 
Quercus spp. also in terms of biological mass. 
When the results of classified images were jointly evaluated, it has been determined that temporal changes occurred 
both in the forest types of the area and the use of land, that the leafed trees being the natural flora of the area were
