Yayın Spatial-Temporary analysis of Istanbul air pollution during the pandemic using Google Earth Engine and Google community mobility reports(Gök, Murat, 2023-06-30) Çavdaroğlu, Gülsüm Çiğdem; Arık, Ahmet OkanThe Covid-19 pandemic has brought drastic changes to people's daily life and environmental characteristics. To control the pandemic, all governments have implemented particular policies for their countries and imposed restrictions that affect people's daily life. The traffic index has decreased in many countries and cities depending on the restrictions. Therefore, restrictions in many countries and cities have positively impacted air quality. However, the opposite has also been observed in metropolitan cities. In this study, the change in the air quality of Istanbul, which is accepted as Turkey's largest metropolitan city, has been examined. First, the spatio-temporal distribution of air pollutants (NO2, CO, and SO2) has been analyzed using Sentinel-5P NRTI satellite images. Then six independent variable groups (traffic index of Istanbul, daily deaths in Istanbul, Google community mobility reports of Istanbul, fuel prices, stringency index of Turkey, two logical attributes regarding the Covid-19 restrictions and in-class education) were collected and combined to analyze the correlations between these variable groups and air pollutant concentrations. According to the spatial distribution graphs, there is a tendency to decrease NO2, CO, and SO2 pollutant concentrations in Istanbul when the restrictions are applied in Turkey. There was no significant relationship between the decrease in community mobility in Istanbul and pollutant concentrations, although an increase in air quality has been observed in many cities due to the restrictions of the Covid-19 pandemic.Yayın Correlation analysis between the community mobility and nighttime lights in the city of Istanbul, Turkey(2022) Çavdaroğlu, Gülsüm ÇiğdemThe COVID-19, which emerged in Wuhan, China, in 2019, has significantly affected people’s Daily lives, business environment, surrounding environment, and countries' economic and social conditions. This study aims to measure the correlation between community mobility changes in six different areas and nighttime lights in the city of Istanbul, Turkey. Nighttime light data used in the study was obtained from VIIRS Nighttime Day/Night Band Composites Version 1 using remote sensing methods via Google Earth Engine platform. Then the correlation between Nighttime light values and community mobility values was investigated. It has been observed that the correlation values have changed dramatically over the years. The most significant correlation values were observed for the year 2020. This is because 2020 is the year when the pandemic is most effective, and restrictions are at the highest level in Turkey. The increase in freedom in the following years caused a decrease in the correlation. When the correlation results covering the period of February 2020 - to January 2022 were examined, it was observed that there was no significant relationship between nighttime light values and Google Community Mobility Reports’ variables. Considering the correlation results for 2020, it was observed that there was a high negative correlation between nighttime light data and mobility trends for grocery and pharmacy, and mobility trends for places of work. In addition, there was a moderate negative correlation between nighttime light data and mobility trends for retail and recreation, and a moderate positive correlation between nighttime light and mobility trends for places of residence. When the correlation values of 2021 and the correlation values of the period 2021-2022 were examined, no significant relationship was observed.
