Objective: This study aims to analyze the eligible site selection for biomass energy facilities in Balıkesir province, which is ranked as one of the important provinces of Turkey from the perspective of agriculture and livestock activities.
Material and Methods: Within the framework of the study, the most eligible areas for biomass energy facilities in the province were determined by Weighted Overlay Analysis with the use of Geographic Information Systems.
Results: In results of the study, it was revealed that the most eligible areas for biomass energy facilities in the province were the districts of Karesi, Susurluk and Savaştepe, respectively, while the districts of Ayvalık, Edremit and Erdek districts located in the coastal part of the province were not suitable.
Conclusion: This study is expected to shed light on all the planning studies undertaken within the scope of the sustainable management of the city and the protection of ecology.

Weighted owerlay analizi ile biyokütle enerjisi tesisleri için en uygun yer seçimi analizinin yapılması: Balıkesir (Türkiye) ili örneği

Öz

Amaç: Bu çalışmada, Türkiye’nin tarım ve hayvancılık faaliyetleri açısından önemli illeri arasında yer alan Balıkesir ilinde biyokütle enerjisi tesisleri için uygun yer seçimi analizinin yapılması amaçlanmıştır.
Materyal ve Yöntem: Çalışma kapsamında, Coğrafi Bilgi Sistemleri’nden faydalanarak Weighted Overlay Analizi (WOA) ile ildeki biyokütle enerji tesisleri için en uygun alanlar belirlenmiştir.
Araştırma Bulguları: Çalışma sonucunda ilde biyokütle enerji tesisleri için en uygun alanlar sırasıyla Karesi, Susurluk ve Savaştepe ilçeleri iken, ilin kıyı kesiminde yer alan Ayvalık, Edremit ve Erdek ilçelerinin ise uygun olmadığı ortaya çıkmıştır.
Sonuç: Yapılan bu çalışmanın kentin sürdürülebilir alan yönetiminde ve ekolojinin korunması kapsamında yürütülen tüm planlama çalışmalarına ışık tutması öngörülmektedir.
