Özet:

 The subject of the research is the natural environmental characteristics of Değirmenaltı Waterfall located within the borders of Yıldız town of Sivas Center. Değirmenaltı Waterfall, which is located in the direction of Sivas-Yıldız Mountain, is 53 km from Sivas Center and it is easy to reach from three different routes. The main purpose of the research is to determine the natural environment characteristics of Değirmenaltı Waterfall and to contribute to sustainable planning as a waterfall type, tourism and recreation area. In this context, the data obtained from the natural environment through field studies were mapped and analyzed with the help of Geographic Information System GIS. Değirmenaltı Waterfall was formed on Karadönek stream. In the area where continental climate characteristics are observed, the change in precipitation according to the seasons affects the flow rate of this stream and the waterfall. According to the WWD World Waterfall Dadabates database, Değirmenaltı waterfall belongs to the Fan waterfall type and its height is 18 meters. In addition, a 23 m wide, 20 m long and 3.5 m deep giant cauldron was formed. Değirmenaltı Waterfall and its immediate surroundings is an important site in terms of geotourism thanks to the geological-geomorphologic evolution it has undergone. With this study, it is aimed to promote the waterfall, to determine its natural environmental characteristics, and it is envisaged to make environmental arrangements and necessary improvements based on the data obtained from the study and to bring it to the economy of the region and the country.

 Araştırmanın konusu, Sivas Merkeze bağlı Yıldız beldesi sınırları içerisinde bulunan Değirmenaltı Şelalesinin doğal çevre özellikleridir. Sivas-Yıldız Dağı istikametinde yer alan Değirmenaltı Şelalesi Sivas Merkeze 53 kmlik bir mesafede olup üç farklı güzargahtan ulaşım kolaylığı mümkündür. Değirmenaltı Şelalesinin doğal ortam özelliklerinin belirlenmesi, şelale tipi, turizm ve rekreasyon alanı olarak sürdürülebilir planlamaya katkı sağlaması araştırmanın temel amacını oluşturmaktadır. Bu kapsamda arazi çalışmalarıyla doğal ortamdan elde edilen veriler Coğrafi Bilgi Sistemi CBS yardımıyla haritalanarak analiz edilmiştir. Değirmenaltı Şelalesi, Karadönek deresi üzerinde oluşmuştur. Karasal iklim özelliklerinin görüldüğü sahada yağışların mevsimlere göre değişmesi bu derenin ve şelalenin debisini etkilemektedir. Değirmenaltı şelalesi WWD World Waterfall Dadabates veri tabanına göre Yelpaze Fan şelale tipine girmekte olup boyu 18 mdir. Ayrıca 23 m genişliğinde, 20 m uzunluğunda ve 3,5 m derinliğinde dev kazanı oluşmuştur. Değirmenaltı Şelalesi ve yakın çevresi geçirdiği jeolojikjeomorfolojjik evrim sayesinde jeoturizm açısından önemli bir sahadır. Bu çalışmayla şelalenin tanıtımının yapılması, doğal çevre özelliklerinin belirlenmesi hedeflenmekte, çalışmadan elde edilen veriler üzerinden çevre düzenlemesinin ve gerekli iyileştirmelerin yapılıp yöre ve ülke ekonomisine kazandırılması ön görülmektedir.
