Portfolio Projects

Hydrological Mapping of Stream Networks

This project identifies and visualizes stream networks on the European side of Istanbul using DEM-based hydrological analysis. By mapping flow directions and accumulations, it reveals the region’s drainage patterns and supports flood management and watershed planning.This analysis supports environmental planning, flood risk assessment, and watershed management initiatives in the area.

Spatial Prediction of Ozone Concentration in California

This project aims to model and predict ozone concentration levels across California using spatial interpolation techniques such as Ordinary Kriging. By leveraging monitoring station data and applying geostatistical methods, the study visualizes the spatial distribution of ozone, identifies pollution hotspots, and supports environmental decision-making related to air quality management.

Flood Risk Analysis Project

Aim of the Project is that predict and determine the possible effects areas of a flood event, it is important to consider different types of spatial data and analysis techniques.Water areas and waterways are rasterized to apply proximity analyses. Click to see more details...

Watershed Boundaries in the European Side of Istanbul

This project delineates the watershed boundaries on the European side of Istanbul using DEM-based hydrological analysis. By identifying 15 distinct watershed areas, the study supports flood management, water resource planning, and environmental assessment in the region. Click to see more details...

Best Route Analysis Project

In this project that has been aimed the driver who is responsible for the distribution should start from the flour depot, visit each restaurant, bakery and cafe, and return to the starting point. To find the best effective route for the distribution of flour, this projected aim to find the route plan by using appropriate network analysis and report the total distance that has to be driven. Analyses has obtained in ArcGIS Pro software with Network Analyses technic.

Best Bicycle Route Project

Bicycle route project was carried out for the Sariyer district of Istanbul province using open source data. Literature research was conducted to determine the bicycle path determination criteria and analyses were carried out using the analytical hierarchy method. Analysis was carried out by weighting the determined criteria. As a result of the analysis, the current bicycle routes appear to support the analysis results.

3D GIS Modelling of Civil Engineering Faculty Building Project

Utilizing FME to convert building plans into GIS-compatible formats and integrated with geospatial databases. Conducting advanced spatial analyses and visualizations using ArcGIS and QGIS to support data-driven decision-making in campus planning and management.

Healtcare Service Coverage in Istanbul

The analysis provides a realistic visualization of healthcare accessibility, considering actual travel paths rather than simple Euclidean buffers. This helps identify well-served regions as well as potential accessibility gaps, which are critical for urban planning and healthcare service distribution.
