Overview

Randomized trial identifies geothermal potential in Kırşehir, suggesting effective energy exploration methods.

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.
