Özet

Roads make it possible for urban people to access public services and materials they need. Enlargement of road surfaces impacts climatic elements in urban areas since they heat excessively air depending heavily on the absorption rate of solar radiation due to lower albedo. Erzurum is an important city in Turley since it is the largest city of East Anatolia Region of the country. Harsh continental climatic characteristics are prevalent and majorly service sector employs more than half of people in the city. The aim of the study is to evaluate the change in mean yearly long term temperature (1960-2016) and rainfall (1929-2016) values obtained from the station operated and maintained regularly by the Turkish State Meteorological Service (MGM) at the city airport about 7 km bird eye from the city center by considering some urban parameters, human population, road and building surfaces and the number of motor vehicles.
