SNPP/VIIRS satellite data from five years were examined using spatial statistics and algebraic methods to measure nighttime light variations. Results show a sharp decline in dark sky areas and expansion of high light zones from 85.9 km² to 139.5 km², and medium zones from 87.6 km² to 145.5 km², driven by urbanization and industrial growth. Rapid changes occurred in Atakum, Ilkadim, Canik, and Tekkekoy, affecting sensitive ecological and astronomical sites. The strong correlation between light emissions and socio-economic indicators highlights the need for sustainable lighting policies to mitigate adverse environmental impacts.</dc:description><dc:date>2025</dc:date><dc:date>2026-02-08 16:52:02</dc:date><dc:type>Neznano</dc:type><dc:identifier>27463</dc:identifier><dc:language>sl</dc:language><dc:rights>Imetniki avtorskih pravic na prispevkih so avtorji</dc:rights></rdf:Description></rdf:RDF>
