Özet

This study aimed to examine the selection process of the installation sites for wind power plants (WPP) to be built in Kozlu district of Zonguldak province of Turkey in the framework of geographical factors and through the application of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) - Multi Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) methodology and ArcGIS 10.2 software. According to the results obtained from this study, it was deduced that the study area, Kozlu, where the WPPs were likely to be installed had low and medium sensitivity levels. Wind turbines with sufficient power generation capacity should be installed initially at appropriate sites at least.
