Today, environmental problems are increasing and threatening nature and human health. Air pollution is at the top of this threat. Air, the main source of life, is indispensable for humans and living things. Therefore, air pollution causes mass results. Many air pollution studies and many solution techniques have been proposed in the literature to deal with the air pollution problem. In this study, it is called analytical hierarchy process (AHP) and geographic information systems (GIS), which is one of the multi-criteria decision making methods used in the investigation of air pollution in Iğdır city center and its four districts: Tuzluca, Iğdır Central, Karakoyunlu, and Aralik. In this study, spatial analysis of the pollutant parameters using the GIS-AHP technique was performed with the help of the data obtained from Iğdır Weather Monitoring Stations. By determining the pollutant parameters, pollution distribution maps were created, and station-based statistics were evaluated with dynamic mapping. For the first time, 15 parameters of weather and topographic features were used. Based on this result, it is obvious that Iğdır center is the worst place in the air pollution problem for GIS-AHP method. It varies for 15 parameters using GIS-AHP, compared with the review of locations on a daily basis. The aim of this study is primarily to investigate possible places of air pollution. Also, by comparing the results of two methods, GIS and AHP, more accurate results are given.
