Abstract:

This study aims to understand the relationship between the motivations of people moving from the urban to mountainous areas and the effects of climate change. In this context, the change in the mobility of amenity migrants moving to the mountainous settlement of Çamlıyayla due to climate change has been examined. There are secondary data supporting the qualitative research method in the research. Qualitative data were analyzed and reported descriptively. According to the findings obtained from the interviews, the amenity migrants who move to the mountainous settlement of Çamlıyayla have a high awareness of climate change. Participants stated that the beginning and ending periods of the seasons changed and the air temperature increased. Accordingly, their mobility towards mountainous areas is affected by climate change more than before. One of the most important findings of the research is that the participants find mountain areas safer than cities against the effects of climate change. Accordingly, it has been determined that in the future, urban residents will move to mountainous areas more frequently due to climate-related reasons and the effects of spatial transformation can be observed.
