ENVI-met has been widely used in microclimate studies worldwide. The research was conducted in the central district of Bayburt Province, which is in the Dsb class according to K & ouml;ppen-Geiger climate classes and located in the east of Turkey. The entire city of Bayburt was structurally modeled using the Open Street Map system. The current situation, along with four main scenarios and five sub-scenarios, was analyzed in the ENVI-met program. Result maps were evaluated, and recommendations were made for Bayburt concerning climate. The hottest day of 2020 was evaluated in the analyses; main scenario 2, which was designed with an aesthetic focus among the general design scenarios, showed the most positive cooling effect compared to other scenarios resulting in a decrease of 1.8 degrees C in the physiologically equivalent temperature (PET) value. The scenario assuming the absence of the & Ccedil;oruh River did not significantly worsen the conditions compared to the current situation. This is a result of the prevailing wind direction being parallel to the river. Among the sub-vegetative design scenarios; the scenario using Linden and Ash trees (Sub-scenario 5) gave the best result and it was determined that there was an average decrease of 5.65 degrees C compared to the current situation. This effect is primarily attributed to the reduction of reflective surfaces and increased planting, particularly on the south-facing facades that receive direct sunlight.
