Abstract
Climate has always become an important research object due to its effects on people and environment.In this study, five different areas in Erzurum city centre were determined for the assessment of thermal comfortareas. For the measurement of bioclimatic comfort values in these areas, meteorological parameters (such as ambienttemperature (°C), relative humidity (%), wind speed (m/s) and cloudiness (oktas) for the daily time zones such as00:00, 03:00, 06:00, 09:00, 12:00, 15:00, 18:00 and 21:00 were taken in 2012 between 20th of June and 10th ofSeptember. PET index and RayMan 2.1 model are used for the assessment of bioclimatic comfort conditions. Whenthe reference station is identified as rural and the other five stations are defined as urban, it is observed that thereare PET differences between urban and rural stations in the range of 1.1ºC to 4.3ºC. While the comfortable rangefor summer time are felt as %10.3 in Erzurum Meteorology Airport Station which is rural area covered with steppevegetation, this ratio is identified as %20,4 at Ataturk University Campus covered with vegetation. Therefore, urbangreen areas should be protected and increased as much as possible.
