Özet: Recent fast increase in use of mobile phones brings about the necessity of planning and setting up new base stations every year. This inevitably gives rise to some discussions and complaints about these base stations. For this reason, electromagnetic pollution maps are now being formed to determine and control electromagnetic pollution with a suitable method where this pollution poses a serious problem. This study aims to reveal sources of the problem, to produce solution methods and to show electromagnetic pollution on maps using GIS. For this study, the magnitudes of electromagnetic fields are measured around the base stations situated in Selçuklu, Karatay and Meram districts in Konya. The data obtained from GSM base stations are then transferred to a GIS software in which the electromagnetic pollution map of the area is accomplished by combining the spatial analyses obtained from database procedures such as query and statistical analysis with visualization and spatial analysis provided by the map layers. Consequently, these maps enable decision makers to determine the areas affected by the electromagnetic pollution and to help investigate possible effect of these base stations on health especially around some public grounds such as schools, playgrounds, daycare centers hospitals and parks, and to take appropriate measures.
