Determination Of Variables Endangering Ecological Living By Application Of Data–Mining Models: In Case Of Turkish Geography

Abstract

The concept of ecological balance refers to the state in which various organisms coexist harmoniously within a given ecosystem. In recent times, there have been significant environmental challenges that pose a threat to the global ecosystem. It has come to attention that Turkey is experiencing adverse effects of global warming, particularly in the form of water scarcity and temperature fluctuations. Moreover, Turkey is categorized as one of the nations at risk in terms of the detrimental impacts of global warming on the environment. In light of this, the objective of this study is to employ multiple regression analysis and time series analysis to identify the variables that have a negative influence on ecological life in Turkey during the period spanning from 1960 to 2020. The findings of the regression analysis suggest that there is insufficient statistical evidence to support the notion that industrial waste and construction activities have a significant impact on carbon emissions in Turkey. Furthermore, in Turkey, various factors such as population expansion, energy consumption, electricity usage, income levels, reliance on fuel-powered cars, lack of education, energy production, and gas emissions have been identified as having a negative impact on the environment.
