Abstract

Climatic conditions play a decisive role in the realization of tourism activities. This study aims to determine the thermal comfort conditions of the Zigana Winter Tourism Center (ZWTC) for skiers (active skiers) and visitors (wanderers). The study used hourly measurement data from the meteorology station at ZWTC. Thermal comfort conditions were determined with WCI (Wind Chill Index) from simple indices and MPET (Modified Physiologically Equivalent Temperature) indices from complex indices. As a result of the study, cold, risky conditions for skiers from November to March in the period from the 10th day of January to the 10th day of February are effective, while other days can be expressed as comfortable. It has been determined that the hours between 10:00 and 16:00 during the day are suitable. There are cold risks throughout the entire period for visitors who do not do any activity. It is recommended to consider this study for tourism activities in ZWTC.

Özet

Turizm faaliyetlerinin yapılabilmesinde iklim koşullarının belirleyici bir rolü vardır. Bu çalışma Zigana Kış Turizmi Merkezi’nin (ZKTM) kayakçılar (aktif kayak yapan) ve ziyaretçiler (gezip-dolaşan) açısından termal konfor koşullarının belirlenmesini amaçlamaktadır. Çalışmada ZKTM’de bulunan meteoroloji istasyonunun saatlik ölçüm verileri kullanılmıştır. Termal konfor koşulları basit indislerden RSİ (Rüzgâr Soğuğu İndisi) ve karmaşık indislerden DFES (Düzenlenmiş Fizyolojik Eşdeğer Sıcaklık İndisi) indisleri ile belirlenmiştir. Çalışma sonucunda ZKTM’de kayakçılar için kasım ayından mart ayına kadar ki dönemde ocak ayının 10. gününden şubat ayının 10. gününe kadar ki dönem soğuk riskli koşullar etkili olurken diğer günler konforlu olarak ifade edilebilir. Gün içerisinde saat 10:00 ile 16:00 arasının uygun olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Herhangi bir aktivite yapmayan ziyaretçiler için ise tüm dönem boyunca soğuk riskler bulunmaktadır. ZKTM’deki turizm faaliyetleri için bu çalışmanın dikkate alınması önerilmektedir.
