Özet:

 The Republican period is a period that coincides with the modernization process of Turkey, and the lifestyle in the cities has also changed significantly during this period. Winter recreation areas are the areas that people prefer to have fun, do sports and relax in the cold months. The Republic of Türkiye has a great importance in the tourism sector. In addition, the alternative tourism sector is developing rapidly and leading to different investments. Increasing winter recreation areas and facility investments in order to keep four seasons tourism alive with the advantage of climatic diversity is of great importance for alternative tourism. Different criteria such as slope, aspect, height, transportation, and sunshine duration are used to determine suitable areas for these investments. However, the most important suitability criterion is the snow factor. In order for the facilities to be established, the snow must be permanent and of a certain thickness in the winter season. In this study, the winter season December-January-February was examined temporally 2020-21-22, in the example of the Abalı Ski Center established in the republican period, and the average snow depth change in the area was determined by the InSAR Interferometric Artificial Aperture Radar technique. In addition, the accuracy of the results was tested with the real measurements of the 2021-22 winter season in the study area. The analysis conducted to assess the accuracy of Sentinel-1A C-band RADAR images by comparing snow depth data has yielded a high correlation value of 0.79, indicating a strong and consistent result. As a result, the importance of determining the snow factor both as a suitability criterion in determining the suitability of land use and the suitability of snow permanence in temporal change for establishment has been revealed.

 Cumhuriyet dönemi, Türkiyenin modernleşme sürecine denk gelen bir dönemdir ve bu dönemde kentlerdeki yaşam tarzı da önemli ölçüde değişmiştir. Kış rekreasyon alanları, insanların soğuk aylarda eğlenmek, spor yapmak ve dinlenmek için tercih ettikleri alanlardır. Türkiye Cumhuriyeti turizm sektöründe büyük bir öneme sahiptir. Bununla birlikte alternatif turizm sektörü de hızla gelişmekte ve farklı yatırımlara öncü olmaktadır. İklimsel çeşitliliğin avantajı ile dört mevsim turizmin canlı kalabilmesi adına kış rekreasyon alanlarının ve tesisleşme yatırımlarının arttırılması alternatif turizm için ciddi önem taşımaktadır. Bu yatırımlar için uygun alanların belirlenmesinde eğim, bakı, yükseklik, ulaşım, güneşlenme süresi gibi farklı kriterler kullanılmaktadır. Ancak en önemli uygunluk kriteri ise kar faktörüdür. Tesislerin kurulabilmesi için karın kış sezonunda kalıcılığı ve belirli kalınlıkta olabilmesi gerekmektedir. Bu çalışmada, cumhuriyet döneminde kurulan Abalı Kayak Merkezi örneğinde kış sezonu aralık-ocak-şubat zamansal olarak 2020-21-22 incelenerek, alandaki ortalama kar derinliği değişimi InSAR Interferometrik Yapay Açıklıklı Radar tekniği ile tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca çalışma alanında yapılan 2021-22 kış sezonu gerçek ölçümleri ile sonuçların doğruluğu test edilmiştir. Karşılaştırılan kar derinliği verileri sayesinde, Sentinel-1A C band RADAR görüntülerinin doğruluğunu değerlendirmek amacıyla yapılan analiz, 0,79 yüksek korelasyon değeri elde ederek güçlü ve tutarlı bir sonuç vermiştir. Bunun sonucunda alan kullanım uygunluklarının belirlenmesinde kar faktörünün hem bir uygunluk kriteri olarak hem de zamansal değişimde kar kalıcılığının uygunluğunun tesisleşme için önceden tespit edilmesinin önemi ortaya konulmuştur.
