摘要：Roads make it possible for urban people to access public services and materials they need. Enlargement of road surfaces impacts climatic elements in urban areas since they heat excessively air depending heavily on the absorption rate of solar radiation due to lower albedo. Erzurum is an important city in Turley since it is the largest city of East Anatolia Region of the country. Harsh continental climatic characteristics are prevalent and majorly service sector employs more than half of people in the city. The aim of the study is to evaluate the change in mean yearly long term temperature (1960 - 2016) and rainfall (1929 - 2016) values obtained from the station operated and maintained regularly by the Turkish State Meteorological Service (MGM) at the city airport about 7 km bird - eye from the city center by considering some urban parameters, human population, road and building surfaces and the number of motor vehicles.It was found that human population has been decreasing incessantly in the city until today, but the number of motor - vehicles and the total surface area of buildings and the roads is in an increasing trend. In terms of climatic elements (temperature and rainfall), it is seen that mean yearly temperatures are in increasing trend after especially 1992 and rainfall is in a general decreasing trend in especially recent years.Such an apparent change in climatic elements in the city is dependent on a dense and quick transformation trend in the city, which is the reflection of the socioeconomic development policies adopted by central government over at least the last ten years based on land use/valuation or rant. In the example of Erzurum, urban climate is getting warmer and drier which is a condition that must urgently be taken under control for human health and better living environment.
