İklim değişikliğinin ekolojik sürdürülebilirlik üzerinde önemli olumsuz etkileri olduğu bilimsel bir gerçektir. Özellikle insan ve kent sağlığı üzerindeki artan etkileri yerleşim yerlerini daha savunmasız hale getirmektedir. Bu nedenle merkezi hükümetler düzeyindeki eylemler önemlidir, ancak yerel yönetimlerin iklim değişikliğinin azaltılması ve uyumunda daha önemli rolleri vardır. Ancak iklim değişikliği ile mücadele konusunda bilgi eksikliği yerel yönetimler için en büyük sorundur. Bu bilgi eksikliğini gidermek için ölçüm ve izlemeye dayalı eylem ve kapsayıcı yönetişim sistemleri gerekmektedir. Kentler için nitel ve nicel kırılganlık değerlendirmesi için birçok araç ve yöntem bulunmaktadır. Kentsel iklim etkilerine karşı kırılganlığı değerlendirmek için ilgili literatürde Gösterge Tabanlı Kırılganlık Değerlendirmeleri önerilmektedir. Bu çalışma, Türkiye Sağlıklı Kentler Birliği üyesi IBVAs yöntemine dayalı olarak kentlerin iklim değişikliğine karşı kırılganlık düzeyini belirlemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bu 40 yerleşim yeri/kent kırılganlık kategorilerine göre incelendiğinde sırasıyla Yüksek Kırılganlık 0, Orta Kırılganlık 5, Düşük Kırılganlık 32 ve Dayanıklılık 3 şeklinde dağıldığı belirlenmiştir. Kentlerde alt parametrelere ilişkin en büyük eksikliklerin Kentlerin Örgütsel Yapıları alanında olduğu, bunu sırasıyla Kentlerin Genel Özellikleri ve Yapılı Çevre alanlarında izlediği görülmektedir.

Urban Vulnerability Assessments to Climate Change for Members of the European Healthy Cities Network in Turkey: A Case Study

Öz

It is a scientific fact that climate change has important negative effects on and ecological sustainability. Especially its increasing effects on human and urban health make settlements more vulnerable. Therefore, government-level actions are important, but local governments have more important roles in climate change mitigation and adaptation. However, the lack of information on combating climate change is the biggest problem for local governments. To overcome this lack of information, action, and inclusive governance systems based on the measurement and monitoring are required. There are many tools and methods for qualitative and quantitative vulnerability assessment for cities. Indicator-Based Vulnerability Assessments are recommended in the relevant literature to assess vulnerability to urban climate impacts. This study, based on the method IBVAs, Turkey Healthy Cities Association member aims to determine the level of vulnerability of cities to climate change. When these 40 settlements/cities were analyzed by vulnerability categories, it was determined that they were distributed as High Vulnerability 0, Medium Vulnerability 5, Low Vulnerability 32, and Durability 3, respectively. It is seen that the biggest deficiencies related to the sub-parameters in the cities are in the Organizational Structures of the Cities, followed by the General Characteristics of the Cities and the Built-Environment respectively.
