Özet:
The tourism sector increases
international interaction while also having a positive impact on the national
economy. This sector, which is a significant source of income in Turkey, has
continued to develop over time with the support of numerous investments and has
brought about change in local regions. In this study, the relationship between
spatial changes between 2012 and 2023 and the tourism sector was analyzed for
six coastal provinces of Turkey (Antalya, Aydın, Balıkesir, Çanakkale, İzmir,
Muğla). The results of temporal changes were examined by analyzing land use
changes, nighttime light values, and nighttime surface temperatures. Based on
these values, spatial growth trends for the study areas up to 2035 were
analyzed. Satellite-based remote sensing data and projection models were used
to assess the temporal, directional, and environmental impacts of urbanization
dynamics. The increase in artificial surface area was most pronounced in
Antalya, Muğla, and Aydın, while Antalya (62317 pixels) and İzmir (61724)
ranked first in terms of total nighttime light increase. In terms of increases
in nighttime surface temperatures (NST), Izmir (0,05 °C/year), Antalya (0,035
°C/year), and Muğla (0,03 °C/year) stood out. Zone-based analyses revealed that
the urban effect extends up to 50 km. Artificial surface expansion and
increased nighttime temperatures, particularly in coastal cities with intense
tourism pressure, reflect the environmental footprint of tourism activities.
The results of the study draw attention to economic, demographic, social, and
spatial impacts. By highlighting the increase in built-up areas and its effects
on environmental sustainability, the study provides a scientific basis for
sustainable tourism planning. In this regard, the thesis has produced temporal
and spatial indicators that can be used by local governments and planners in
their future strategic decisions.
