Ten different geo-environmental factors, such as slope, topographic wetness index, geomorphology, drainage density, lithology, lineament density, rainfall, soil type, soil thickness, and land-use classes were selected as the decision criteria, and related GIS tools were used for creating, analysing and standardising the layers. The final groundwater potential zones map was delineated, using the weighted linear combination (WLC) aggregation method. The map was spatially classified into very high potential, high potential, moderate potential, low potential, and very low potential. The results showed that 21.5% of the basin area is characterised by high to very high groundwater potential. In comparison, the very low to low groundwater potential occupies 57.15%, and the moderate groundwater potential covers 21.4% of the basin area. Citation: Yıldırım, Ü.

As a result of the climate projections (RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5) applied for the Coruh River Basin, which is one of the 25 major river basins of Turkey, towards 2100, it is predicted that the temperatures will increase by 0.4–6.1 ◦C, rainfall will decrease by 10%, and, therefore, the groundwater reserve will decrease by 0–7% [2].

Considering such an enormous amount of groundwater use for agricultural activity, the importance of sustainable groundwater management and planning in the basin is understood more clearly. Overabundant water withdrawal from the aquifer would damage the region en- vironmentally and economically [4]. Therefore, the groundwater potential zones should be determined by focusing on convenient water management. Traditional methods used in groundwater potential assessment studies, such as geophysical, hydrogeological and drilling techniques, are quite costly and time-consuming in spacious areas [5–7]. The de- lineation of potential groundwater zones has become more accessible and more effortless with geospatial methods, which have been widely used in recent years [8–11]. The use of remote sensing and GIS-based multi-criteria decision analysis methods (MCDM) to investigate groundwater potential zones has extremely increased over the last several decades [12–19] due to the rapid, precise and cost-effective investigation of surface and subsurface water over large areas. Several MCDM applications, such as multi-attribute utility theory (MAUT) [20], analytic hierarchy process (AHP) [18,19,21], fuzzy set theory (FST) [22,23], multi influencing factor (MIF) [24,25], data envelopment analysis (DEA) [26], ELECTRE [27], TOPSIS [28,29], and PROMETHEE [30] received much attention due to their potential use in water management assessments. Among these methods, the AHP tech- nique [31] is much more common for the GWPZs delineation, as it integrates to GIS [32–35]. It was developed by hierarchically planning, evaluating and weighting the criteria based on similar studies and expert opinions [31]. In the groundwater potential zone determination studies, many factors (e.g., lithology, soil texture, land-use land classes, drainage density, lineament density, geomorphology, slope, topographic wetness index, soil depth, rainfall, distance to the river, water table depth, and digital elevation model) related to groundwater storage based on geologic, hydrologic, hydrogeological, meteorological and terrain features were used as decision criteria for the multi-criteria decision analysis [25,36–39]. The MCDM-integrated GIS analysis for the groundwater potential index can provide the information needed for decision making more clearly and makes it easier for decision- makers to make more accurate and quicker choices during the decision phase. This study aims to determine the groundwater potential zones in the Upper Coruh River Basin (UCRB) under the pressure of changing land use (especially urbanisation) in line with changing climatic conditions and increasing living needs, using the GIS-based MCDM technique. In this way, decisionmakers will be provided with foresight and support in water and land use management for future planning. In the study, ten different decision criteria (i.e., slope, topographic wetness index, geomorphology, drainage density, lithology, lineament density, rainfall, soil type, soil thickness, and land-use classes) controlling groundwater storage were utilised for the assessment of the groundwater potential index. 2. Materials and Methods 2.1. Basin Characteristics The Coruh River Basin is one of the 25 major river basins of Turkey. The Upper Coruh River Basin (UCRB) is the headwater basin in the Coruh River, and it covers an area of about 4000 km2 between latitudes 39◦54030.70” to 40◦31016.34” N and longitudes 39◦40006.43” to 41◦10044.14” E. A large part of UCRB is located in the Bayburt province (73.8%), and the remaining part lies in the Erzurum (21.4%), Gümü¸shane(2.7%) and Erzincan (2.1%) province, NE Turkey (Figure1). ISPRS Int. J.

The overall prevalence was calculated as 30.3 % by palpation in a national survey conducted in 1995. However direct evidence that iodine deficiency (ID) is the major cause of the endemics has been lacking until now. We measured sonographic thyroid volumes (STV), urinary iodine concentrations (UIC), in 1226 SAC (9-11 years old) from Ankara and three highly endemic goiter areas of the Black-Sea region (i.e. Kastamonu, Bayburt, Trabzon). A considerable number of SAC were found to have STV exceeding the recommended upper normal limits for their age and gender obtained from iodine-replete European children. i.e 26.7 %, 40.3 %, 44.8 % and, 51.7 % of children from Ankara, Kastamonu, Bayburt and Trabzon respectively. UIC indicated moderate to severe ID in these areas with median concentrations of 25.5 g/l, 30.5 g/l, 16.0 g/l and 14 g/l respectively. This study showed severe to moderate ID as the primary etiological factor for the goiter endemics observed in Ankara and the Black-Sea region of Turkey.

Chinimachin Museum is situated on the foot of the hills forming a boundary between Blacksea and Bayburt. The city, surrounded by the mountains both in south and north, is a large valley and thus has a characteristic topography, which has been a dominant factor during the establishments during the historical ages. The strong dialogue between the existing topography and the Chinimachin fortress has been the focal point for the formation of the cityscape. Chinimachin Fortress built around 200 A.D, taking its name from the delicate blue, purple and green precious tiles called “Çini”, on it's west and south facades.

I always put a full stop after each exhibition and begin with a new clean sheet. Actually, the things that should have been said were told in the first few sentences, but the real sentence is still incomplete. What brings me to the process of this second exhibition is the need to complete this sentence. Before that, I held an exhibition called Shadows of My Self at Leighton House Museum in London. Now, with this exhibition, I will continue to form the incomplete sentence. I think that the Western tradition and the tradition of the Eastern pole are actually two separate fluid materials intertwined. I try to imagine the West from the East as how the West would imagine the East. When setting up my own dream, I generate a view from East to West by knowing both the Western art and culture and using the richness of this region such as being in between East and West. When I interpret Western myths through the eyes of the Eastern, the Eastern myths that I have created show up, too.They also have a nature that occurs with these myths. There is not an indication on a definite location. Geographies are undefined in my pictures.” Selma Gürbüz. Selma Gürbüz is nothing if not eclectic.
