Discrete choice theory has been shown to be a viable way to study individual preferences for resource development. However, only a limited amount of literature assesses the effect of culture, socio-economic, historical, and regulatory factors on the classification of factors that are important to individual preferences for resource development used in designing valid discrete choice experiments. This work seeks to assess differences in the levels of importance among the determinants of public acceptance of mining projects due to differences in cultural, regulatory, socio-economic, and historical contexts. This will be accomplished by comparing the levels of importance as reported by respondents in the United States, China and Turkey.

Evaluating the mine plan alternatives with respect to bottom-up and top-down sustainability criteria Yaylaci, Evren Deniz; Düzgün, Hafize Şebnem (Elsevier BV, 2017-11-20) The previous researches on sustainability evaluation for the mining sector indicate that the tailor-made integrated frameworks should have the capabilities of integrating the stakeholder-focused information as effectively as operational information into the evaluation and reporting process. In this regard, this paper proposes an indicator-based quantitative evaluation framework for integrating the concerns and priorities of the local stakeholders into the evaluation of sustainability in the mining sector op...
Determination of groundwater threshold values: A methodological approach Bulut, Onur F.; Duru, Burcu; Cakmak, Ozgur; Gunhan, Ozgur; Dilek, Filiz Bengü; Yetiş, Ülkü (Elsevier BV, 2020-04-20) This article is concerned with the establishment of natural background levels and threshold values for naturally-occurring parameters in groundwaters in the absence of relevant and accurate long-term spatial data. A new approach was developed and exemplified, adopting the groundwaters of the Gediz River Basin, Turkey, as a case study. The available groundwater monitoring data was from a one-year seasonal water quality monitoring campaign. The approach used combines pre-selection, selection and statistical e...
An effective framework for life cycle and cost assessment for marine vessels aiming to select optimal propulsion systems Jeong, Byongug; Wang, Haibin; Oğuz, Elif; Zhou, Peilin (Elsevier BV, 2018-06-20) By adopting the concept of modularity, this paper introduced an optimal framework which facilitates life cycle assessment and life cycle cost assessment, thereby supporting rapid and reliable decision-making in the marine industry. The benefits of the proposed framework were discussed through two case studies where the optimal configurations of marine propulsion systems were determined from the economic and environmental perspectives. First, the performance of a short-route ferry using the hybrid system was...
Institutional framework for urban development with co-benefits: the Indian experience Doll, Christopher N. H.; Dreyfus, Magali; Ahmad, Sohail; Balaban, Osman (Elsevier BV, 2013-11-01) The co-benefits approach has been proposed as a means for mainstreaming environmental concerns into urban development, especially in developing countries. This paper reviews the Indian situation setting out the urban-environmental challenge. National policies related to urban development, climate change and specific sectors are examined and then, with the aid of cases, analysed to understand the strengths and weaknesses of generating co-benefits in the world's second most populous country.
Comparison of the resource allocation cababilities of project management software packages in resource constrained project scheduling problems Hekimoğlu, Özge; Serpil, Canan; Department of Industrial Engineering (2007) In this study, results of a comparison on benchmark test problems are presented to investigate the performance of Primavera V.4.1 with its two resource allocation priority rules and MS Project 2003. Resource allocation capabilities of the packages are measured in terms of deviation from the upper bound of the minimum makespan. Resource constrained project scheduling problem instances are taken from PSPLIB which are generated under a factorial design from ProGen. Statistical tests are applied to the results ...
