Abstract :Differences in climate, rainfall, geographical structure, and human impact play a decisive role in land cover/use. For this reason, land cover/use and changes in different regions can happen differently. In this respect, our country has various land cover and land use. This study examined the changes in the use of land/cover in seven geographical regions: Marmara, Black Sea, Aegean, Mediterranean, Central Anatolia, Eastern Anatolia, and Southeastern Anatolia in our country. In the study, regional changes were identified and interpreted by using Corine land cover/use data and the ArcGIS program for 1990, 2000, 2006, 2012, and 2018. The data obtained indicates that artificial regions in all regions of our country are increasing in class areas. The pressure of the increase in artificial regions class and other land cover/use on the forest and seminatural areas class has attracted attention. Forest and seminatural field classes have been reduced in all regions. Since each of the land cover/usage classes is of special importance for our country, evaluating the changes in the regional characteristics is emphasized.
