Abstract :In this study, the geothermal potential was investigated by remote sensing methods in the Ladik Hamamayağı region of Samsun province at the Central Black Sea region. The satellite images were evaluated in the GIS environment. Various parameters differ in remote sensing studies and post-exploration geothermal field remote sensing for exploration studies, and these parameters are explained in detail in the study., All alteration types that should be in a geothermal field were mapped with the ASTER data, lineaments were extracted, thermal anomalies were captured and interpreted with alterations in the GIS environment, since there are no alteration information in the Hamamayağı geothermal field that previous studies have uncovered. As a result of these processes and interpretations, remote sensing and GIS methods were used together for the Hamamayağı geothermal field to produce guiding data and maps for the discovery of new potential areas. Within the framework of these produced maps, technical suggestions were made to the authorities who have a say on the subject.
