The Landsat TM/ETM+ images obtained in 2000, 2006 and 2010 were used to generate Land Use and Land Cover (LULC) maps of Canakkale province including "forest", "grassland", "agriculture", "water" and "residential area-bare soil" classes. Areas of LULC classes were calculated; changes between 2006-2000, 2010-2006, and 2010-2000 were compared. Accuracy assessments and Kappa statistics were calculated for each district. In Ayvacik, most of the areas were covered by agricultural lands in 2006 and 2010 with 40.13% and 42.70% respectively, while the least area were covered by water class. In Bayramig, while most of the areas were covered by forests in each year, the residential areas and water surfaces were covered less than 1% of total area. In Main Municipal district, Biga, can, Eceabat, Lapseki, and Yenice, the most of the areas were covered by forests, and water surfaces were covered the least area. In Eceabat, the minimum coverage rate was seen in Residential area Bare soil class for every year. In Ezine and Gelibolu, while agricultural areas were classified as the major land cover class, the minor land cover class was classified as water. The maximum accuracy was found for LULC map of Main Municipal district in 2000 (90.20%) while the minimum accuracy rate was found for Bayramig LULC map in 2000 (80.39%).
