Abstract
Izmir, located in the western part of Anatolia, is the third major city of T¸rkiye. Izmir is very important because of geoethermal resources. The geothermal areas of Izmir can be listed as BalÁova, Karsiyaka-Menemen, Seferihisar, AlaÁati-«esme, Dikili-Bergama, Aliaga and Bayindir. In BalÁova district heating and thermal tourism, in «esme thermal tourism, in Dikili-Bergama district heating and greenhouse heating is of importance in using geothermal energy. Apparent potential of geothermal energy in Izmir province, considering the lowest consumption temperature as 400C, is 440 000 000 kcal/h. Depending on the greatness of the geothermal areas, reservoir temperature and possible number of wellhole locations of the future, expected total potential is 2325 MWt.
