The area selected for land use land cover (LULC) dynamics, TROIA national park, is located in the city of Çanakkale, TURKEY. The national park covers an area of about 13600 ha. Remote sensing studies especially multi-temporal analysis of changes provides sufficient information about the dynamics of historic landscape. Tasseled Cap Indexes and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) were used to create the new images from Landsat TM 1987 and Landsat TM 2006 images for classification. Supervised classification was applied with ground truth data and auxiliary data collected from different sources such as air photo, cadastral information and others. Four classes of changed and unchanged multi-temporal raster were discriminated from created new images as followed: Active Agriculture, Grassland, Forestry, and Water. Classification accuracy was determined for 1987 image and 2006 image as 81% and 87% respectively. It was found that LULC change was dynamic between classes because of the land consolidation in the region. Grassland was changed to active agriculture area by 75% and to forestry class by 5%. Forested area also converted to active agriculture by 46% and to grassland by 9%. It was concluded that land consolidation project in the study area was the main force to change land cover.
