Demand forecasting for yacht tourism planning in Turkey

2011-12-21
Integration of forecasts to the strategic planning is necessary for sustainable and use of the coastal resources. In this study two different quantitative forecasting techniques - Exponential smoothing and Auto Regressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) methods - were used to estimate the demand for yacht berthing capacity demand till 2030 in Turkey. Forecast results suggested that yacht tourism will continue to intensify increasing the demand on infrastructure. Aiming a dynamic plan which is responsive to both national and international developments in yacht tourism, potential investments were determined by using multi-criteria decision making processes. This study provides a multi dimensioned point of view to planning problem. The paper highlights the need for sustainable and dynamic planning at delicate and high demand areas such as coasts. © 2011 ASCE.

Scenario Planning for Water Resources A Saudi Arabian Case Study
Dejong, Remy Lucıen; Yazıcıgil, Hasan; Allayla, Rashıd Ibrahım (1989-01-01)
Uncommonly rapid development of the oil-rich Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia has led to heavy stresses on the local groundwater resources and there has arisen concern for the adequacy of supply to sustain future growth. Whereas oil is the only significant export commodity, the demand for it has an important and immediate impact on water exploitation activities. In this article four development scenarios are considered, each resulting in a specific water abstraction pattern. The hydrologic consequences of e...
Buffer Sizing Model Incorporating Fuzzy Risk Assessment: Case Study on Concrete Gravity Dam and Hydroelectric Power Plant Projects
Balta, Semsettin; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat; Dikmen Toker, İrem (2018-03-01)
Timely completion of dam and hydroelectric power plant (HEPP) projects is indispensable for the countries constructing them due to their economic, political, and social impacts. Robust and stable schedules should be created at the beginning of these projects in order to realistically estimate project durations considering uncertainties and variations. This paper proposes a buffer sizing methodology based on fuzzy risk assessment which can be used to calculate time buffers accurately for concrete gravity dam...
Modelling of Dredged materal disposal Mersin Bay Case Study
Sadighrad, Ehsan; Tuğrul, Süleyman; Salihoğlu, Barış (null; 2015-10-10)
Management of disposal of solid materials dredged from harbours, shipping channels and coastal environments for different purposes is essential for sustainable land/marine ecosystems, keeping economic values and human quality of life along coastal areas. Therefore, comprehensive and detailed investigations of geo-chemical properties of organic/inorganic pollutants in dredged materials and principal physical and bio-geo-chemical properties of the selected disposal sites are commonly a prerequisite for any pl...
Problem Identification: Examining the Factors that Resulted in Islamabad's Unsustainable Development
Khurram, Amal; Aytekin, Erden Attila; Department of Urban Policy Planning and Local Governments (2022-7-7)
This thesis aims to study how policies, planning institutions, or unforeseen circumstances have factored in the creation of an unsustainable city, with a predominant focus on environmental unsustainability owing to urban sprawl. While keeping in mind globalization, rapid urbanization, (environmental) sustainability, and the characteristics of a dynamic city, this study aims to thoroughly examine the following two hypotheses, namely, unprecedented challenges and organizational and administrative problems wit...
Strategic management of internationalization in higher education institutions: the lens of international office professionals
Bulut Şahin, Betül; Emil, Serap; Okur, Seda; Seggie, Fatma Nevra (2023-01-01)
The need for strategic planning of the internationalization process in universities is inevitable. The key stakeholders in higher education institutions (HEIs) are expected to be involved in the strategy-making process. It is argued that international office professionals (IPs) are one of these key stakeholders and need to be part of strategy development. The study aims to explore IPs’ conceptualization of internationalization, their needs, and roles in the universities, as well as their perceptions of stra...
