Spatial Distribution and Future Projections of Thermal Comfort Conditions during the Hot Period of the Year in Diyarbakır City, Southeastern Turkey

Cities are highly vulnerable areas affected by climate change. For sustainable urbanization, it is of great importance to determine the thermal conditions in cities and make predictions for future. Therefore, this study, spatial distribution comfort city Diyarbakır, located southeastern Turkey, during hot period year explained future made. In measurement data from meteorological stations SSP-2 SSP-5 scenarios were used. Thermal determined according PET (physiological equivalent temperature) index using RayMan software. The ArcGIS 10.5 program was used defining conditions. As a result seen that with dense construction low amount green area old urbanized area, which central business district (CBD), have uncomfortable It predicted will increase near distant threaten human health. climate-resilient, healthy, comfortable can adapt adverse effects change, urban design planning should be carried out holistic perspective.
