ABSTRACT
One of the biggest threats facing our planet is climate change. With the temperature of the earth rising
more than 2ºC compared to before the industrial revolution, climate change will become irreversible and
will have huge effects in the long run. Urban development patterns and the growth of urban population
are major drivers of climate change, influencing total energy consumption and associated greenhouse
gas emissions. Therefore, it is necessary to build cities that can develop capacity in order to be protected
from possible changes in the future and the damages that these changes may cause to social, economic
and technical systems and infrastructures, and to be able to protect the same functions, systems and
identity in the face of these possible changes.
In addition to being the structure most affected by climate change, cities are one of the most important
structures in the fight against this situation. For this reason, cities need to develop and effectively
implement their own adaptation action plans in order to minimize the effects of climate change. The
aim of the study is to consider a strategy plan made with multi-stakeholder cooperation for the creation
of resilient cities, in terms of preparation, implementation and functionality, through sample plans in
the literature and to present a good practice example for future studies. In this context, by examining the
physical, environmental, morphological and socio-economic characteristics of Denizli city, a Climate
Change Action Plan has emerged in accordance with the climate change policy. At the same time, Smart
City Applications have been implemented in order for cities to be sustainable and for people living in
cities to adapt to the new conditions required to continue their lives without facing major shocks and
stresses. In this study, which was carried out using literature and content analysis methods, it will be
examined whether Denizli Metropolitan Municipality has made an improvement in resilience.
Keywords: Climate Action Plan, Smart Cities, Resilient Cities, Denizli Metropolitan Municipality, Local
Government.
