The importance of biogas energy potential in the household sector of rural areas in Turkey is explained. It is observed that in 1986, 42% of 44·4 mtoe total energy consumption was used in the household sector; and the use of animal and agricultural wastes constituted 17% (3·2 mtoe) of the household energy consumption. R&D activities and the demonstration programs held in the country up to now are reviewed. The construction details of the present-day systems are reviewed. The design characteristics of the mostly used 12 m3 fixed dome Chinese-type digester are explained. Economics, material shortage, operation, and the people's acceptance are considered to be the main factors preventing the diffusion of biogas technology. The adaptability of biogas programs within the country's structure is also discussed from the socio-economic point of view.

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 ...
Slope stability assessment of a re-activated landslide on the Artvin-Savsat junction of a provincial road in Meydancik, Turkey Topsakal, Ebru; Topal, Tamer (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2015-03-01) The purpose of this study is to determine the most suitable remediation techniques for an active landslide area in Turkey, using a geological engineering assessment of a re-activated landslide that occurred during the construction of the Artvin-Savsat Junction on the Meydancik Provincial Road, at Km: 12 + 200. For this, the geotechnical parameters of the mobilized geological material-which is colluvium along the sliding surface-were determined by back analyses of the landslide at three geological sections. ...
A new approach to evaluate the MODIS annual NPP product (MOD17A3) using forest field data from Turkey Gulbeyaz, Onder; Bond-Lamberty, Ben; Akyürek, Sevda Zuhal; West, Tristram O. (Informa UK Limited, 2018-01-01) In this study, we present the first evaluation of the MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) annual net primary production (NPP) for Turkey's forest ecosystems using field measurements. Due to lack of country scale field measurements (i.e. flux tower for forest ecosystems), tree DBH (diameter at breast height) data set provided by Ministry of Forest and Water Affairs (MFWA) of Turkey is used to calculate NPP of Turkey's forest ecosystems. The lack of a reliable NPP data set leads the research...
Environmental geological investigations at the Van open dump site, southeastern Turkey Akgün, Haluk (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2000-04-01) This study evaluates the geological, hydrogeological and hydrological conditions at the I waste dump site of the Van municipality in eastern Anatolia, Turkey. A geological map and a three-dimensional view of the project site have prepared. All lithological units exposed at and near the dump site have been determined and their boundary relationships identified. Drainage basin characteristics of the dump site along with the water bearing properties of different lithological units have been assessed. For the r...
Assessment of rock slope stability along the proposed Ankara-Pozant, autoroad in Turkey Avci, K.M.; Akgün, Haluk; Doyuran, V. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 1999-01-01) The main objective of this study is the determination of the slope stability and excavatability category of discontinuous rock exposed between 53+000 and 58+000 km of the proposed Ankara–Pozantı autoroad in Turkey to provide secure access. The study area is mostly in the outcrops of highly jointed sandstone with minor layers of marl. This Maastrichtian–Eocene Group also contains conglomerate and limestone bands of flysch character called the Pas˙ada* Group. Quaternary alluvial deposits occur throughout the ...
