Key Points

This study aims to identify geothermal potential areas in Kırşehir using a GIS-based AHP model.
Applied the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) in a Geographic Information System (GIS) environment.
Evaluated eight criteria including slope, lineament density, and distance to faults.
Generated geothermal potential maps by applying weight percentages to raster maps.
Southern and southeastern parts of Kırşehir have high geothermal potential (21.73%) and very high potential (13.68%).
The AHP model showed strong accuracy with an Area Under Curve (AUC) of 0.837 in ROC analysis.
Generated geothermal maps closely align with existing geothermal resources in the region.
