This thesis studies the renewable energy concept in regional planning. A comprehensive study is made about the renewable energy in Turkey, in a regional planning aspect. A profound analysis about the renewable energy related activities of the regional development agencies is made. The examples of successful regional and national planning policies in the world, for the increase in renewable energy utilization and sustainable energy generation are studied. The Turkish legal legislation about the renewable energy is discussed. Development agencies established in Turkey are studied in detail, including the legal framework, macro, and micro planning relations. The renewable energy related decisions in NUTS2 level regional plans, and renewable energy related activities of the development agencies are evaluated. The study concludes with a general evaluation of more effective renewable energy policy recommendations for Turkey.

Sustainable development of energy, water and environment systems index for Southeast European cities Kılkış, Şiir (2016-09-01) Benchmarking the performance of cities across aspects that relate to the sustainable development of energy, water and environment systems requires an integrated approach. This paper benchmarks a sample of 12 Southeast European cities based on a composite indicator that consists of 7 dimensions and 35 main indicators. The composite indicator is namely the Sustainable Development of Energy, Water and Environment Systems (SDEWES) City Sustainability Index. The first three dimensions are energy consumption and ...
Renewable energy promotion strategies of individual states and regional frameworks: a comparative approach Şekerci, Almira Sinemis; Tanrısever, Oktay Fırat; Department of International Relations (2017) This thesis seeks to examine the importance of using renewable energy by using different promotion strategies, methods, technologies and policies among the different countries and regional frameworks in order to achieve a sustainable future. The main argument of the thesis is that contrary to the views of some scholars, who argue that it is the renewable energy potential of countries that is the key for the development of the renewable energy sectors, this thesis argues that it is mainly the renewable energ...
Alternative Electric Energy Source Selection in Construction Projects: A Case Study in Turkey Kia, Farrokh Rostami; ÇABUK, ALPER; CENGİZ, AYTÜL AYŞE; Vahed, Amir Taghizadeh; MUTLU, SUNAY (2011-07-08) The objectives of this study are to find the best way to calibrate data that are collected from the energy maps of Turkey and take advantage of alternative electric energy source in construction projects. To achieve these goals, renewable energy maps of Turkey were collected. Four types of energy maps such as solar, wind, geothermal, and wave energy were utilized. Cost effectiveness was proposed for the construction projects that have a total cost of more than a million dollars. Thus it is considered that a...
