Climate has continuously undergone change throughout history.
Understanding this change contributes significantly to the determination
of boundaries for different climate types. Climate classifications aim to
differentiate various climate types and identify similar or different locations.
This facilitates the sustainable use of local resources and the development
of land use plans. Additionally, comprehending the impact of climate on
property is crucial for its management and regulation, enabling a more
organized approach to property utilization.
In this context, various climate classification methods have been developed.
These methods assist in determining local climate differences, tracking
changes over time, and establishing boundaries suitable for different climate
types. This study aims to create climate boundary maps for Burdur province
using Köppen, Trewartha, de Martonne, Aydeniz, Erinç, and Thornthwaite
methods. Within the scope of the study, data from 11 meteorological
observation stations in Burdur province have been organized within a
Geographic Information System (GIS) and classified into climate types.
Finally, climate boundary maps representing the entire region were generated
using the Kriging interpolation method based on the identified climate
classification.
