    Gis-Based Determination of Suitable Areas With Multi-Criteria Approach for Solar Power Plants and Assessment of Land Decisions: the Case Study of İzmir
    (01. Izmir Institute of Technology, 2021) Toprakcı, Nevin Selin; Demirkesen, Ali Can
    The need to energy has become an important reality for human life with the increase in living standards and population. İzmir has important renewable energy sources especially solar energy. Rapid urbanization and environmental problems due to internal migration after the 1960s have made renewable energy sources a priority because of the wrong implementations of urban policies in İzmir. In order to talk about energy potential, it is first necessary to talk about and analyze the land potential. It is necessary to determine the true criteria and methods for true analyzes of the suitable areas for efficiency and sustainability. The study presents a GIS-based approach to identify the most suitable area for Solar Power Plants (SPP) development in İzmir. The first suitability map includes 9 criteria. The last suitability map includes the first suitable map results and criteria of land capability class (10th criteria) using the same method. It can be said that the SPP installation is more suitable, especially the northern part of İzmir and districts of border. When the evaluation is compared, it can be said that İzmir has fertile lands and it should definitely be taken into account in energy projects. It also draws attention importance of land use decisions and legislation while choosing the suitable area from perspectives of planning. In addition, the current and potential solar energy area choices were evaluated together with the results which are produced for the study area in terms of land decisions and planning.
