Özet:
Groundwater is a natural resource that is directly or indirectly affected by any intervention in nature that we use in all areas of our life. In this sense, the issue of the groundwater is a study-subject that interests many professions and researches. Urban planning is a profession area that is directly related to the groundwater issues as decision-making on spatial and functional decisions about the city and the natural environment. However, groundwater resources are not taken into account as aboveground natural resources during the planning phase. Plans without consideration of groundwater potential cause threatening consequences for both existing natural resources and residents in the region. For this reason, the focus point of the thesis is the groundwater and its determination and investigation of relationship among the groundwater, vegetation, and agricultural soils. The aim of this thesis is to determine the groundwater potential (GWP) locations of Alaşehir Basin by a multi-criteria (proxies) method based on Geographic Information System (GIS) integrated with Remote Sensing (RS). The method used in this study includes 10 proxies as mult-criteria that play important roles on determination of the potential of the groundwater, combining these proxies in a digital media and illustrating output image maps of them. These proxies are: Normalized Difference Vegitation Index (NDVI), Modified Normalized Difference Water Index (MNDWI), land-use land-cover (LULC), lineament, topography (Digital Elevation Model – DEM), slope, drainage, lithology, hydraulic conductivity, and soil types. The main data sources of the study are: Landsat-8 OLI multi-spetral satellite image bands, the Aster Digital Elevation Model (DEM) of the study area and the GIS data layers from the institutions and research studies. According to study, the most GWP locations are seen in northeast of Salihli, in southeast of Alaşehir and around Dereköy. This findings are so important for planning in terms of groundwater pollution risk management. Key words: Groundwater, Geographic Information System (CBS), Remote Sensing (RS), Digital Elevation Model (DEM)
