Solar energy is among the sustainable and renewable energy sources that has become an important and inevitable part of our lives today. It is of great importance to consider economic, environmental, and social factors in determining the installation locations of solar power plants (SPP). In this study, we aimed to determine suitable areas where SPP can be established in Safranbolu District by using the fuzzy analytical hierarchy process (FAHP), which is one of the multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) method together with Geographic Information Systems (GIS), to enable the decision-makers to express their preferences in approximate or adaptable ways. The criteria addressed in the technical analysis process were also determined by supporting the basic principles of impact assessment systems. Within the scope of the environmental analysis, the relevant national and international legal frameworks were also examined and the legal constraints were identified. Thus, in the process of determining the optimal areas for SPP, it has been attempted to produce sustainable solutions that are expected to have minimal impact on the integrity of the natural system. This study was carried on within a scientific, technical, and legal framework. According to the results obtained, the Safranbolu District had low, medium, and high sensitivity properties for SPP construction, and the areas suitable for SPP construction provided medium and high sensitivity of 10.86% and 27.26% correspondence detected according to the Chang (Eur J Oper Res 95(3): 649-655, 1996) and Buckley (Fuzzy Set Syst 17(3): 233-247, 1985) methods, respectively. There are very suitable areas for SPP installations in the central and western parts of Safranbolu District, and there are also areas suitable for SPP installation in the northern and southern parts of the district. Thanks to this study, suitable SPP establishment areas were determined for the under protection in a location in Safranbolu where clean energy is needed. It was also observed that these areas do not conflict with the basic principles of impact assessment systems.
太阳能是可持续和可再生能源之一，如今已成为我们生活中重要且不可或缺的一部分。在确定太阳能发电厂（SPP）的安装地点时，考虑经济、环境和社会因素至关重要。在本研究中，我们旨在通过使用模糊层次分析法（FAHP）来确定萨夫兰博卢区可以建设太阳能发电厂的合适区域，FAHP是多准则决策（MCDM）方法之一，同时结合地理信息系统（GIS），以使决策者能够以近似或适应性的方式表达他们的偏好。技术分析过程中涉及的标准也是通过支持影响评估系统的基本原则来确定的。在环境分析范围内，还研究了相关的国家和国际法律框架，并确定了法律限制。因此，在确定太阳能发电厂的最佳区域的过程中，试图产生对自然系统完整性影响最小的可持续解决方案。本研究是在科学、技术和法律框架内进行 的。根据所得结果，萨夫兰博卢区对太阳能发电厂建设具有低、中、高敏感性特征，根据Chang（《欧洲运筹学杂志》95(3): 649 - 655, 1996）和Buckley（《模糊集系统》17(3): 233 - 247, 1985）方法，适合太阳能发电厂建设的区域分别提供了10.86%和27.26%的中高敏感性对应。萨夫兰博卢区的中部和西部有非常适合太阳能发电厂安装的区域，该地区的北部和南部也有适合太阳能发电厂安装的区域。通过这项研究，为萨夫兰博卢需要清洁能源的一个受保护地点确定了合适的太阳能发电厂建设区域。还观察到这些区域与影响评估系统的基本原则不冲突。
