People's pressure on nature is increasing every passing day and therefore land use patterns vary. It is important to understand the temporal changes in land use that have started in the recent past and continue at a faster pace with the anticipation that natural resources will be insufficient to meet the needs due to the increasing population and the reasons affecting this. In this study, the land use types of Candir village and its immediate surroundings within the boundaries of Candir basin located in Sütcüler district of Isparta province between 1986 and 2016 were determined, changes between years of land use were calculated spatially and the reasons for the change were revealed. In the research, stand maps and topographic maps of various measures belongs to 3 plan periods of land use, in computer environment. It was evaluated by means of GIS. Google Earth satellite imagery was also utilized. In the classification, land use forms were divided into four groups as forest, agriculture, water surface and other areas and their temporal changes were examined. Between 1986 and 2016, forest areas 875.51 ha decreased. Water surface increased by 829.12 ha and agricultural areas increased by 47.36 ha. In 2018, land use was examined in 3 slopes and 3 elevation groups. According to this, 1051.68 hectares of study area between 0-15%, 327.09 hectare area 16-30%, 461.63 hectares area within 30% + slope groups. 1238 hectares of the Candir village, which is the study area, is located within 200m, 437 hectares within 400m, and 233 hectares within 600m.
