Özet:

 Climate conditions are an important factor in the quality of tourism activities and the selection of tourism destinations. In recent years, the diversity of tourism activities and the number of tourists have increased and plateau tourism activities have become popular. In order for plateau tourism activities to be sustainable, climatic conditions and thermal comfort conditions among physical geography factors should be investigated. In the most general terms, thermal comfort is defined as the state of feeling comfortable, happy, and fit in ones environment. In this study, the determination of thermal comfort conditions for plateau tourism activities was examined specifically for the Palovit plateau in the Çamlıhemşin district of Rize province. In the study, hourly and daily measurements of the meteorological station number 19058 established on the Palovit plateau were used. The obtained data were calculated based on the PET Physiological Equivalent Temperature index through Rayman software. The distribution of PET values within the year at 10-day intervals and monthly hourly distributions was prepared. In addition, the frequency and extremes of all climatic elements were calculated in order to prepare a climate tourism information scheme. As a result of the study, it was understood that heat stress, storm risk, and sweltering conditions are not likely to be experienced on the Palovit plateau. However, it was determined that there is the possibility of snow-covered days that create cold stress, precipitation risk, and slipping risk. When all climatic possibilities are analysed, it is determined that the most ideal period for tourism is the summer. Individuals participating in tourism activities, tour organizers, and local administrations should take these conditions into consideration. In order for plateau tourism activities to be healthy, high quality and sustainable, there is a need for more research investigating climatic and thermal comfort conditions.

 İklim koşulları turizm faaliyetlerinin kaliteli olmasında ve turizm destinasyonlarının seçiminde önemli bir faktördür. Son yıllarda turizm faaliyetlerinin çeşitliliği ve turist sayıları artış göstermiş ve yayla turizmi faaliyetleri popüler olmuştur. Yayla turizm faaliyetlerinin sürdürülebilir olması için fiziki coğrafya etmenlerinden iklim koşulları ve termal konfor durumları araştırılmalıdır. Termal konfor en genel ifadeyle insanların bulundukları ortamda kendilerini rahat, mutlu ve zinde hissetme durumu olarak tanımlanır. Bu çalışmada yayla turizmi faaliyetlerinin termal konfor koşullarının belirlenmesi Rize ilinin Çamlıhemşin ilçesindeki Palovit yaylası özelinde incelenmiştir. Çalışmada Palovit yaylasında kurulu olan 19058 nolu meteoroloji istasyonun saatlik ve günlük ölçümleri kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen veriler Rayman yazılımı aracılığıyla FES Fiyolojik Eşdeğer Sıcaklık indisine göre hesaplanmıştır. FES değerlerinin 10 günlük aralıklarla yıl içindeki dağılımı ve aylık olarak saatlik dağılımları hazırlanmıştır. Ayrıca iklim turizm bilgilendirme şemasının hazırlanması amacıyla tüm iklim elemanlarının yaşanma sıklığı ve ekstremleri hesaplanmıştır. Çalışma sonucunda Palovit yaylasında sıcak stresi, fırtına riski ve bunaltıcı koşulların yaşanma olasılığının olmadığı anlaşılmıştır. Fakat soğuk stresi, yağış riski ve kayma riski oluşturan karla kaplı günlerin yaşanma olasılığının bulunduğu tespit edilmiştir. İklimsel tüm olasılıklar incelendiğinde turizm açısından en ideal döneminin yaz mevsimi olduğu belirlenmiştir. Turizm faaliyetlerine katılan bireylerin, tur düzenleyicilerin ve yerel yönetimlerin bu koşulları dikkate alması gerekmektedir. Yayla turizmi faaliyetlerinin sağlıklı, kaliteli ve sürdürebilir olması için iklim koşulları ve termal konfor durumlarını araştıran daha çok araştırmaya ihtiyaç vardır.
