The Mediterranean Commission on Sustainable Development (MCSD) is established as an advisory body within the Mediterranean Action Plan (MAP) framework, in order to provide advice on programs and prepare recommendations for the Contracting Parties. The MCSD identifies and evaluates major economic, environmental and social problems specified in Agenda MED 21. It aims to track the implementation of the proposals it submits to the Contracting Parties. Furthermore, the MCSD is open to participation from the main groups of the society, which have equal footing alongside government representatives. Within the limits imposed upon it, the MCSD provides a regional forum for dialogue and a promising framework for defining a regional sustainable development strategy in the Mediterranean. Its regional nature and its composition constitute an innovative contribution to promote the integration of environmental concerns in development policies. The object of this study is to evaluate the work that has been carried out by MCSD and understand the complex structure of an institution through which international and regional cooperation and coordination is achieved.

Developing an HLA-based naval maneuvering simulation
Topcu, O; Oğuztüzün, Mehmet Halit S. (Wiley, 2005-12-01)
This paper discusses the main issues involved in developing a high level architecture (HLA)-based distributed simulation while presenting an application called Naval Surface Tactical Maneuvering Simulation System (NSTMSS), which is intended to serve as a testbed for HLA and distributed interactive simulation (DIS) research. NSTMSS provides a networked virtual environment (NVE) for naval surface actions in which new formations can be evaluated and tested and present ones can be practiced and analyzed. This p...
Potential tsunami hazard along the southern Turkish coast
Aydin, Baran; Sharghivand, Naeimeh; Bayazitoglu, Ozge (Elsevier BV, 2020-06-01)
The aim of this study is to determine the tsunami potential of the southern Turkish coast through hypothetical earthquake scenarios developed for several critical coastal sites in the region. A well-known tsunami numerical model (MOST) is utilized to calculate the run-up and inundation of the subsequent tsunami waves. The coastal regions selected to realize the aim of the study are Akkuyu and Yesilovacik from Mersin and Yumurtalik from Adana, which are chosen for their industrial and environmental importanc...
Life cycle cost and environmental impact analysis of ship hull maintenance strategies for a short route hybrid ferry
Wang, Haibin; Oğuz, Elif; Jeong, Byongug; Zhou, Peilin (Elsevier BV, 2018-08-01)
This paper provides a general insight into the importance of proper hull maintenance and suggests an optimal maintenance strategy for ship operators from both an economic and environmental point of view. Results of life cycle assessment show that significant cost reductions can be obtained by renewing steels every 10 years within the proposed hull maintenance strategy. The assessment also indicates that annual hull inspections and re-coating can contribute to reducing hull resistance and hence fuel consumpt...
Life cycle and cost assessment on engine selection for an offshore tug vessel
Oğuz, Elif; Wang, Haibin; Zhou, Peilin (2017-10-11)
The objectives of this paper are to find the most cost effective and environmental friendly engine configuration and its application on an offshore tug vessel in aspects of cost-benefit and environmental impact. This aim was achieved by a comparison of two different engine configurations applicable to the propulsion system for a case ship, which is currently at design stage in a Turkish shipyard. Options of engine selections are to choose either two large medium speed diesel engines or four small high speed...
Evaluating coastal scenery using fuzzy logic: Application at selected sites in Western Black Sea coastal region of Turkey
Ergin, Ayşen; Sahin, Fatma (Elsevier BV, 2010-05-01)
Coastal areas of the world are under treat due to the conflicting requirements of functions such as habitation and/or recreation, which affect the strategic asset of coastal scenery itself. Coastal managers, together with planners, need coastal landscape inventories, where the quality of coastal scenery is a part of the inventory. In order to provide an evidence-based approach for sound coastal management decisions, Ergin et al. (2004, 2006) developed a novel technique 'coastal scenic evaluation' (CSE), whi...
