Vast consumption of natural resources threats the human life. Growing scarcity of fresh water is posing a great challenge to humanity as well. Thus many governments take special measures for efficient use of freshwater. There are many products that use too much fresh water. Toilet is among these products. In search of new solutions for lack of fresh water, designers design alternative toilets. However, it is necessary to understand the evolution of toilets and current state to develop better new technologies and products. This thesis investigates the evolution of toilet design throughout the history. Factors affect toilet design, and changes in their improvement throughout the evolution of toilets are examined. The study also aims to investigate advantages and disadvantages of squat and flushed toilets and their current state.

Sustainability and industrial design education: the case of the department of industrial design at METU, Turkey
Tural, Senem; Ünlü, Canan Emine; Department of Industrial Design (2009)
Problems that the earth has faced with such as the depletion of natural resources, contamination of water, air and land, extension of species, and the global warming have brought up the sustainable development to the agenda. This state of affairs has elicited the undeniable role of industrial design activity on the sustainable development; sustainability has become an important concern of industrial design education. The purpose of this study is to determine the state of sustainable design education in the ...
Strategies for design interventions that promote prosocial behavior for littering
Tosun, Mert; Töre Yargın, Gülşen; Department of Industrial Design (2017)
Humanity is confronted with social problems such as pollution, resource depletion, obesity, global warming, etc. In order to overcome these problems, people should act for the benefit of the society. The field of industrial design has the potential to promote prosocial behavior as products are proved to be capable of influencing user behavior. Existing literature suggests methods and toolkits for behavior change through design. However, effectiveness of the strategies proposed with these toolkits and method...
Türkiye Batı Ege Bölgesi’nde Sosyal ve Çevresel Değişime Karşı Hasar Görebilirlik Değerlendirmesi
Kozaman, Senem (Middle East Technical University, Faculty of Architecture, 2017-6-15)
Doğal değerlerin yoğun olduğu alanlar; bu değerlerin sürdürülebilirliği için koruma politikalarına konu olurken, diğer taraftan çevresel kaynakların çekiciliği nedeniyle artan nüfusun ve gereksinimlerinin yaratmış olduğu antropojenik baskı ve değişime maruz kalmaktadır. Özellikle kaynaklarıyla birçok ekosistem hizmeti sağlayan kıyı alanlarında küresel ölçekte son yüzyıldır çevresel değişimler yoğunluk göstermektedir. Sürdürülebilirliği kısıtlayan daimi tüketim eğilimi, çevresel bozulmalara ve kirliliğe nede...
An appraisal of biodiversity monitoring in Turkey within the framework of essential biodiversity variables
Demirbaş Çağlayan , Semiha; Bilgin, Cemal Can; Zeydanlı, Uğur Siyami; Department of Earth System Science (2020-9)
The survival of species, habitats, ecosystems and thus the welfare of humankind are increasingly under threat due to adverse effects of land use change, overexploitation, pollution, invasive species and climate change. Monitoring biodiversity, understanding environmental responses and analyzing trends enable us to develop urgent actions for combatting biodiversity decline, and to improve policies to cope with these global challenges. Biodiversity observation has a long history. However the dispersed s...
