In this thesis the impact of the Atatürk Dam on social and environmental aspects of the Southeastern Anatolia Project has been discussed in terms of planning and policy making, institutional arrangements, infrastuctural development and human resources development. In order to analyse the impacts of Atatürk Dam data related to several components are collected. These components can be listed as resettlement, land acquisition and land consolidation, education, health, gender issues. The results show that the Atatürk Resettlement has been done involuntarily. The people mostly have their compensation. However the management abilities of the resettlers for the compensations were poor. Generally the Southeastern Anatolia Project as a large scale multi sectoral projects have positive impacts on the literacy ratio and health standards. Actually the social and environmental aspects of this kind of large scale projects are difficult to predict and measure. Therefore reasonable studies on prediciting the problems related to the environemental and social issues and producing sufficient solutions become more and more important day by day. The Southeastern Anatolia Project becomes an important example for similar projects by considering its both positive and negative impacts

ANALYZING THE COMBINED IMPACT OF CLIMATE AND LAND USE LAND COVER CHANGE ON THE HYDROLOGICAL RESPONSE OF JHELUM RIVER BASIN IN KASHMIR Hamid, Injila; Akıntuğ, Bertuğ; Sustainable Environment and Energy Systems (2022-7) In terms of efficient and sustainable management of water resources of a basin, land use land cover (LULC) and climate change impact studies hold utmost importance. Land use change dynamics along with the climate change owing to greenhouse gas emissions are altering the hydrological response of river basins. This study therefore focuses on quantifying the combined impact of LULC and climate change on the water balance components of the Jhelum river basin using Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) hydrologi...

A BIM-based building circularity framework: assessment and visualization through 5R strategies Yüksel, Pınar Ece; Atasoy Özcan, Güzide; Department of Civil Engineering (2023-1-26) Principles of the circular economy are applied to improve resource efficiency and reduce environmental impact. The purpose of this thesis is to create a BIM-based framework for building circularity assessment (BCA) that enables an analysis of R strategies such as Reusing, Recycling and Rethinking with graphically aided data representation and supports decision-making starting from the early stages to end of life. To learn more about building circularity indicators and assessment approaches, a literature rev...
IMPACTS OF AGRICULTURAL TRADE LIBERALIZATION BETWEEN THE EU AND MEDITERRANEAN COUNTRIES (EU-MED AGPOL) Çakmak , Erol Hasan(2007-5-31) The overall objective of this project is to estimate and describe the impacts on European countries of agricultural trade liberalization in the Mediterranean region. The major changes to be expected are increased EU imports of fruits, vegetables and olive oil and increased EU exports to non-EU Mediterranean countries of cereals, meats, and milk products. Estimation of changes in exports of cereals, meats, and milk products will be done using a well-established sector model. For fruits, vegetables and olive ...
Housing affordability trends and challengesin the Turkish case Özdemir Sarı, Özgül Burcu; Aksoy Khurami, Esma (2018-06-01) This paper examines the trends and challenges of housing afordability in the Turkish case. Concurrently, it questions the use of conventional afordability measures in a developing country context. Survey of Income and Living Conditions is employed to examine the housing afordability through ratio, residual income, and subjective approaches. The results reveal that there is a weak agreement between diferent approaches in identifying the afordability problem in the Turkish context, and subjective approach is ...
