Assessing the impacts of climate change on sustainable management of coastal aquifers UNSAL, Burcu; Yagbasan, Ozlem; Yazıcıgil, Hasan (2014-09-01) Water is a vital resource for the survival of not only human population, but also almost all ecosystems. Constituting 30 % of all freshwater, groundwater is the main source of available freshwater. Coastal aquifers, which serve as the major freshwater source for densely populated zones, are of vital importance and quite vulnerable to climate change. This paper examines the significant consequences of climate change, decreasing recharge rates, sea-level rise and increasing freshwater demand on the sustainabl...
Assessing the effects of wind farms on soil organic carbon. Pekkan, Ozge Isik; Şenyel Kürkçüoğlu, Müzeyyen Anıl; Cabuk, Saye Nihan; Aksoy, Talha; Yilmazel, Burcu; Kucukpehlivan, Tuncay; Dabanli, Ahmet; Cabuk, Alper; Cetin, Mehmet (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2021-01-06) Wind energy is considered one of the cleanest and most sustainable resources among renewable energy sources. However, several negative environmental impacts can be observed, unless suitable sites are selected for the establishment of wind farms. The aim of this study is to determine the change in the soil organic carbon (SOC) stock resulting from land cover changes that were caused by wind farm establishments in the Karaburun peninsula. Within the scope of the study, remote sensing and geographic informatio...
Assessing potential environmental impact and construction cost of reclaimed masonry walls ÜÇER ERDURAN, DENİZ; Elias Özkan, Soofia Tahira; Ulybin, Aleksey (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-01-01) Purpose The recovery of building materials and their reuse in new construction should be considered during the design stage of every new project. This study was conducted to quantify the potential environmental impacts and the economic feasibility of reusing waste material in new constructions with an applicable design solution. Methods Wall pieces reclaimed from the demolition debris of a historic building in St. Petersburg, Russia, were inspected for potential reuse, and their mechanical strengths were de...
Assessing the airtightness performance of container-like buildings in relation to its effect on energy efficiency Bekboliev, Mirbek; Tanyer, Ali Murat; Department of Building Science in Architecture (2015) This study analyzes the effect of airtightness on the energy efficiency of single and adjacent containerized buildings, before and after refurbishment. It further gives an overview of air leakage problems found in the sample of prefabricated buildings manufactured and located in Turkey. The air leakage of standard container-like building depends on a number of factors like the age of the building, manufacturing quality and quality of assembly implementation. The airtightness of four typical containerized bu...
ASSESSING THE IMPACT OF HERITAGE-LED URBAN REGENERATION PROJECTS ON THE HISTORIC CITY CENTER OF ANTAKYA Nemati, Parnian; Aykaç Leıdholm, Pınar; Rifaioğlu, Mert Nezih; Conservation of Cultural Heritage in Department of Architecture (2022-12-13) The worldwide phenomenon of heritage-led regeneration has been considered a panacea for dilapidated historic urban tissues to regenerate them through their cultural heritage. However, the promotion of the heritage through development plans and projects affects the physical and social aspects of historic urban tissues substantially. Therefore, it is necessary to assess the precise impacts of heritage-led regeneration due to its extensive effects on historic cities and residents. Antakya, or ancient Antioch, ...
