Özet

The aim of this study is to reveal the relationship between bioclimatic comfort levels and land use determined by the weighted overlap method and universal thermal climate index (UTCI) method using environmental climate parameters (ECP) for the years 1990–2018 in Şanlıurfa province. The relationship between bioclimatic comfort levels and land use was determined with the help of geographic information systems (GIS). According to the results of this study, the most bioclimatically comfortable areas determined according to both methods in 1990 and 2018 overlapped with agricultural areas and this overlap was more evident in the annual period, spring and autumn.
