Özet

Increasing energy consumption has made air pollution a critical problem in residential areas,especially in cities. The expansion of natural gas use in our country and the orientation towards quality coalhas not eliminated the growth of the problem, although it has partially hindered it. Topographic and climaticfactors have played a significant role in growing air pollution. Topography affects pollution as a factor drivingtemperature reversal and wind speed due to the stability of the air. The scope of the research was determinedas ‘‘temperature inversion winter seasonal around Karabük – Safranbolu, possible effects on natural andHuman Environment’’. The aim of the present study is to determine the effect of winter temperature reversalonthe people and other living things in the region by determining the limit, degree, timing and possible effects onthe natural and human environment. It is extremely important that this event is noticed and the necessaryconsiderations are taken. The fact that the winter inversion observed between Karabük and Safranbolu has notbeen analyzed with quantitative data before makes this study necessary. For this reason, stations have beenestablished in the basin through personal efforts to determine the inversion that is thought to have occurred inthe basin by quantitative data. In the research, a mixed research model, in which many methods are usedtogether, was applied. The winter season of temperature inversion has been found to occur during the monthsof December, January, and February. December and February began to continue until the reversal was determined. The temperatures were found lower at Karabük University and Unsallar Oil Stations on the valleyfloor, while at Karit, Kıran village and Safranbolu urban forest stations, higher temperatures were observed.
