Türkiye’de Çevre Harcamalarının İklim Değişikliği Üzerindeki Etkisinin Mekânsal Veri Analizi ile Modellenmesi (The Impact of Climate Change on Enviroment Expenditure in Turkey with Spatial Data Analysis)

Abstract

Climate change and global warming have been at the forefront of the world's agenda in recent years. The change, that could not be noticed, before has turned into a global phenomenon and has become visible. The global increase in surface temperatures has started to affect the socioeconomic life of people directly and indirectly, deteriorating the balance of the ecosystem, rising sea level, shrinking the areas of snow and ice cover by melting, and the rapid increase of epidemic diseases. Regardless of the level of development, this transformation process has brought serious economic costs on economies. This phenomenon, which puts pressure on the world economy in different dimensions, has led economies to create new environmental policies from an international perspective to a national one and even from local to regional in recent years. In this context, in this study, it is aimed to make a spatial analysis on the effect of environmental expenditures made by local governments and their work on hazardous substance disposal on air quality. The study was based on 2019 and the spatial distribution of the variables was aimed to be revealed with the help of LISA statistics. The study is based on 81 provinces. In addition, in the study, the effect of the variables on the air quality for 2019 with spatial data analysis was determined according to the appropriate model, so the effects of the expenditures and activities on the air quality were evaluated and the results were desired to be revealed.
