Evaluation Of Vulnerability On Turkish Coastal Provinces With Gis





























                     Figure 5: The study of the economic vulnerability levels of
                          coastal cities in Türkiye (Created by the writers)
               The  main  issues  in  Adana  and  Hatay,  which  appear  to  have  high  levels
            social vulnerability, are high percentage of child population, high levels of
            unemployment,  and  the  increased  population  density.  Other  reasons  why
            Istanbul,  which  has  the  highest  population  and  population  density,  turned
            out to have a high social vulnerability include increased unemployment and
            the high percentage of child population. In addition to these problems in
            Istanbul,  the  social  vulnerability  of  certain  disadvantaged  groups  due  to
            urban population density and spatial distribution is increasing each passing
            day  (www.ibb.istanbul,  Erişim  tarihi:  15.05.2022).  The  reasons  for  the  high
            levels of vulnerability in Ordu and Giresun are the high percentage of elderly
            population, and the low level of socio-economic development (Figure 6).
               The  reasons  why  the  cities  of  Çanakkale,  Balıkesir  and  Trakya  have  low
            levels of social vulnerability despite the high percentage of elderly population
            are the low population density compared to other coastal cities can be given
            as  low  population  density,  and  high  socio-economic  development  levels
            compared  to  other  coastal  cities.  The  low  levels  of  social  vulnerability  in
            Bartın, Kastamonu and Sinop results from low unemployment rates compared
            to the ones in other coastal cities. In Muğla, the socio-economic development
            seems really high, which has an positive impact on the vulnerability of the city
            (Figure 6).
