Evaluation of Turkey's status in terms of compliance with the requirements of the Stockholm convention
Şıltu, Esra; İmamoğlu, İpek; Department of Environmental Engineering (2014)
Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) are stable, toxic compounds released into the environment due to anthropogenic activities. POPs can accumulate in fatty tissues of living organisms and become concentrated up the food chain, posing a serious threat to environment and human health. Once they are released, POPs participate in long-range transport and can have a widespread effect. Stockholm Convention on POPs, which was adopted in 2001 and entered into force in 2004, is a global treaty to take measures agai...
Investigation of housing valuation models based on spatial and non-spatial techniques
Boza, Ertuğrul; Düzgün, H. Şebnem; Türel, Ali; Department of Geodetic and Geographical Information Technologies (2015)
The aim of this thesis is to develop hedonic housing valuation models based on spatial (SAR-simultaneous spatial autoregression and GWR - geographically weighted regression) and non-spatial (OLS - ordinary least squares) techniques, to compare the performances of these models and to investigate significant factors affecting housing value. The developed housing valuation models were tested at the Çankaya and Keçiören districts of Ankara province, Turkey. The results of the analyses revealed that significant ...
Investigation of Turkey's carbon dioxide problem by numerical modeling
Can, Ali; Tokdemir, Turgut; Department of Engineering Sciences (2006)
CO2 emission is very important, because it is responsible for about 60% of the "Greenhouse Effect". The major objectives of this study were to prepare a CO2 emission inventory of Turkey based on districts and provinces by using the fuel consumption data with respect to its sources, to find the CO2 uptake rate of forests in Turkey based on provinces and districts, and to estimate the ground level concentration of CO2 across Turkey using U.S. EPA's ISCLT3 model for the preparation of ground level concentratio...
Investigation of short and long term trends in the eastern mediterranean aerosol composition
Öztürk, Fatma; Tuncel, Süleyman Gürdal; Department of Environmental Engineering (2009)
Approximately 2000 daily aerosol samples were collected at Antalya (30°3430.54” E, 36°47’30.54”N) on the Mediterranean coast of Turkey between 1993 and 2001. High volume PM10 sampler was used for the collection of samples on Whatman41 filters. Collected samples were analyzed by a combination of analytical techniques. Energy Dispersive X-Ray Fluorescence (EDXRF) and Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICPMS) was used to measure trace element content of the collected samples from Li to U. Major ions...
Investigation of the spatial relationship of municipal solid waste generation in Turkey with socio-economic, demographic and climatic factors
Keser, Saniye; Aksoy, Ayşegül; Department of Environmental Engineering (2010)
This thesis investigates the significant factors affecting municipal solid waste (MSW) generation in Turkey. For this purpose, both spatial and non-spatial tech¬niques are utilized. Non-spatial technique is ordinary least squares (OLS) regression while spatial techniques employed are simultaneous spatial autoregression (SAR) and geographically weighted regression (GWR). The independent variables include socio-economic, demographic and climatic indicators. The results show that nearer provinces tend to have ...
