Assessment of bioclimatic sensitive spatial planning in a Turkish city, Eskisehir

The city of Eski?ehir is located in the Central Anatolia Region Turkey, where harsh continental climatic characteristics are prevalent (i.e., cold winters and hot summers). In recent years, quality quantity studies on bioclimatic comfort have increased both all over world Turkey. Outdoor conditions counted amongst indicators human life urban environments, together with other physical, social economic features such as air quality, GDP, possibilities activities. calculated values representing been used instead individual mean some elements, order to provide an insight liveability a city. aim present research study determine: (1) hourly center during sultry summer days, considering according 12-year data from urban, sub-urban rural areas using physiological equivalent temperature (PET) index RayMan software for calculation solar radiation fluxes individuals hottest five months year; (2) spatial distribution these decades (10-day intervals) Geographic Information Systems raster maps, taking into consideration elevation land use; (3) which design planning principles could be adopted deal adverse thermal triggered by heat island (UHI) effect. results indicate that poorest provided areas, while more advantageous terms conditions. New bioclimatic-sensitive taken create comfortable perspective windier less humid sites open wind direction out stress).
