Investigation of Land Use and the Analysis of Landscape Elements in Sivar Village from Environmental Viewpoint

Sivar village locates in semirom city of Isfahan province. In this study was used of QuickBird satellite image in Google Earth software for investigation of landscape this village and recognition of all human and natural uses and their analysis in study area. Then the result map was transferred to ArcGIS 3, 1 software and the land use map was provided after the necessary processes in this software. We also accomplished field survey to verify the harvested terrains and to control the harvested polygons. For reaching to this purpose, all the harvested layers were transferred to GPS and then all of the harvested terrains were controlled by field survey. In next step of this study we used of Frag Stats software and NP ، CA، PERIM ، MNN and SHAPE metrics to analyze the landscape of study area. Results showed that the indigenous people have created the different uses in study area during the consecutive years. Pastures cover the wide area of study area and they are representative of the important pasture species in study area which can be the major support of plant and animal biodiversity in this region. The Human-building uses are limit in the study area that it is a great advantage for implementation of the next protective plans. Since distribution of the patches (uses) due to human interferences in North and east of study area is more than other parts, thus fewer changes have been occurred in natural resources in these parts. Existence of the untouched wide areas in this village can be led us to restore of the wide areas. Agriculture is limit in study area but distribution of its patches can be a danger alarm for this area.
