Assessment of changes in climate indices of the mediterranean climate region of Turkey
Çetinkaya , İzem; Yücel, İsmail; Department of Civil Engineering (2020-10-28)
As a consequence of climate change, frequency and intensity changes in extreme weather events have occurred. One of the most vulnerable regions of the world that is affected by the climate change is the Mediterranean region. Turkey as a Mediterranean country has a great importance to investigate the changes in climate behavior. 57 stations from Mediterranean climate region of Turkey have been selected as the study area for this thesis. This study aims to assess the climate indices that carry the valua...
Assessment of applicability of performance-based contracts in Turkey for road maintenance services
Ateş, Koray; Öztürk, Hande Işık; Department of Civil Engineering (2019)
In the last decades, many countries have been in search of new contracting types for the road maintenance sector to reduce the cost by increasing efficiency. Performance-based contracting (PBC) for road maintenance services, which is one of the most popular approaches that has been preferred by many countries all over the world, has been reviewed in detail in this study. Although many studies and cases present the affirmative results of PBC, changing the road maintenance system from the traditional contract...
Assessment of fuel quality parameters of sewage sludge samples from different treatment schemes
Atak, Onur; Atimtay, Aysel; Sanin, Faika Dilek (2018-05-01)
The fuel quality of dried sewage sludge samples was investigated to assess their potential use as auxiliary fuel in combustion processes. Dewatered sewage sludge samples were taken from six wastewater treatment plants in Turkey using different wastewater and sludge treatment processes. The fuel quality of the dried sludge was examined from the calorific point of view. The effects of wastewater and sludge treatment processes on calorific value, carbon and volatile matter content were determined. Dried sewage...
Assessment of Solvency II requirements for Turkish insurance market
Höbek, Mehmet; Kestel, Sevtap Ayşe; Department of Actuarial Sciences (2016)
Solvency II is the new capital regime being in force as of January 2016 in European Union (EU). It has brought profound changes to the previous one, namely Solvency I, by introducing new methods for the calculation of solvency capital requirement (SCR) of insurance and reinsurance companies. Besides the standard formula which is composed of sub-modules for the calculation of different risks, insurance companies are also allowed to use their partial or full internal models for the calculation of SCR. Since b...
Assessment of Index-based Drought Insurance
EVKAYA, ÖMER OZAN; YILDIRAK, ŞAHAP KASIRGA; Kestel, Sevtap Ayşe (2017-04-01)
The increase in the frequency and severity of extreme weather events urge for the more powerful early warning systems and ex-post risk transfer mechanisms. Index-based insurance is an efficient risk management tool reducing the impacts of drought in agricultural insurance. The most feasible policy is the one that is directly based on the quantification of relation between index measure and the yield loss. Regardless of its efficiency, as an important caution, the insurer must be aware of the basis risk. In ...
