For this purpose, a classification of landscape types with the help of LANMAP typology is suggested at the European scale in a basin in Turkey where there are obvious differences in terms of landscape characteristics. In particular, this study examines the usability of a countrywide thematic database when making this classification. It is understood that a mapping system as well as a common nomenclature of types of land covered at the country scale is insufficient for the suggested methodology for Europe. Later, results of the continuation of a classification system at the local scale for landscape characterisation are discussed, and some deficiencies of LANMAP when characterising the landscapes at this scale are mentioned.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessEuropean Landscape Conventionlandscape typologylandscape character assessmentTurkeyArticle10.1080/01426397.2017.13867762-s2.0-850337144058456Q283143WOS:000435333600006Q3
