Özet:

It is becoming more widely accepted that the vulnerabilities that make it more likely for households in the community to be energy poor are multifaceted and geographical. The extent that a household is vulnerable to energy poverty varies socially and geographically. Vulnerabilities are becoming more obvious because of climate change. Regions with greater degrees of vulnerability may be considered more vulnerable to energy poverty, primarily due to climate change and the connection between energy poverty and climate vulnerability. To generate activities and policies that contribute to the reduction of energy poverty, it is crucial to prioritize these vulnerabilities and identify the vulnerabilities that increase and affect energy poverty in order to minimize sustainability concerns. Starting with evaluating the places that are extremely vulnerable mainly the consequence of these variables, it is essential to comprehend the root causes of poverty. This study intends to identify the socio-economic and physical factors that affect energy vulnerability and to define the spatial distribution of vulnerabilities. The provinces of Türkiye were evaluated as the subject of the study, and provincial-level data sets were employed. The statistical technique, Principal Component Analysis (PCA), has been used to minimize the dimensionality of a dataset and maintain as much variance as feasible. Consequently, the vulnerabilities that influence and exacerbate energy poverty may be investigated by demonstrating the data in meaningful clusters and assessing them under specific components.
