Evaluation Of Vulnerability On Turkish Coastal Provinces With Gis

• All data was converted to raster data through Feature to Raster
process.
• The resulting raster data was reclassified to be used in weighted
overlay analysis.
• Thanks to the process done with Reclassify command, all complexity
in all the raster data set is eliminated, which allowed the reduction
of the data to a certain evaluation criteria.
• After the classification process, the Weighted Overlay analysis is
implemented based on the data. During this process, each piece of
data was assigned a point depending on their level of effect. Thus,
the effect of each indicator on the analysis was observed.
• As a result of all these processes, a map was created on costal cities
with high, medium and low vulnerability.
For the vulnerability analysis, a data set was created based on the studies in this
area. The data set on Table 1 is caterorized as physical, spatial, economic and social.
