MODELING OF EFFECTIVE TEMPERATURE FOR CENTRAL ANADOLIA REGION IN TURKEY BY UTILIZING ARCGIS

This study shows a method to evaluate effective temperature (ET) by developing model for assessing relation between monthly Average air temperature and relative humidity for the Central Anatolia Region in turkey utilizing geographic information system techniques, using spatial interpolation method (Inverse Distance Weighting (IDW)). Temperature and relative humidity data from 15 stations for 2016 collected in addition to their geographical coordinates. ET is one of the most popular indices that represents comfort index. The interpolation technique of IDW was applied to create maps of the temperature, relative humidity and effective temperature. The results show the comfort index indicated to be a cool disturbing in the winter months, comfortable in the July and August and ranged between cool annoying, cool and uncomfortable, and comfortable environment in the other months.
