Recent studies on sustainability indicate that the concept of the Product-Service System (PSS) is a promising approach to dematerialise the economy and reduce the environmental impacts of industrial and consumption activities. Considering the urban scale, mobility is one of the challenges that should be addressed and improved for a better quality of life for residents and lower pollution levels for the environment. In this respect, this study aims at analysing Public Use Bicycle (PUB) systems from a PSS perspective. Six PUB systems implemented in different countries in Europe have been investigated based on the products and services they contain and the business context they are in. The results of this investigation indicate that PUB systems have the potential to increase the use of public transport and hence to decrease the environmental load of personal mobility activities. Further, it has been determined that how the products and services are combined, and how the business context is structured are important considerations in the design of sustainable PUB systems.

Analysis of public use bicycle systems from a product-service system perspective
Keskin, Duygu; Börekçi, Naz Ayşe Güzide Z.; Department of Industrial Design (2006)
Recent studies on sustainability indicate that the concept of the Product-Service System (PSS) is a promising approach to dematerialise the economy and reduce the environmental impacts of industrial activity. Considering the urban scale, mobility is one of the challenges that should be addressed and improved for a better quality of life for residents and lower pollution levels for the environment.

An evaluation on adoption factors of spatial decision support systems in planning
Erken, Şeyma; Pınarcıoğlu, Mehmet Melih; Department of Regional Planning (2021-6)
Changes in production and consumption patterns as a result of globalization are leading to ever-increasing carbon dioxide emissions and environmental problems. As a result of this situation, climate change and global warming are getting more and more important. In addition to the environmental problems that are associated with increased carbon emissions, economic losses and human health threats are emerging. Today new models and approaches are being developed to reduce the destructive effects of such enviro...
A Critical analysis of social dimension in sustainable development: a case study of Tepekışla dam and hepp in Tokat, Niksar
Köse, Pınar; Kalaycıoğlu, Hediye Sibel; Department of Social Policy (2012)
This study aims to make a critical analysis of the social dimension of sustainable development as implemented within the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) process. Social dimension can be assessed on the basis of six social indicators, which are social accountability, local self-reliance, basic human needs, degree of participation, equity, and appropriate technology. In this context, a field study is conducted in four villages which will be affected by the Tepekışla Dam and Hydroelectric Power Plant (Pr...
A Review on Sustainability in School Facilities through the Perspective of Architects
Yılmaz, Deniz Derya; Tanyer, Ali Murat (2018-11-16)
As one of the most important items on the agenda of many countries, sustainability necessitates integrating environmental, economic, and social factors into a wide range of areas. Schools can create a unique platform for the sustainability pathway and foster a bridge between theory and practice by harmonizing education and environmentally responsive design. The purpose of the paper is to review the state of art on the application of sustainability in school facilities through the perspective of architects. ...
A BIM-based building circularity framework: assessment and visualization through 5R strategies
Yüksel, Pınar Ece; Atasoy Özcan, Güzide; Department of Civil Engineering (2023-1-26)
Principles of the circular economy are applied to improve resource efficiency and reduce environmental impact. The purpose of this thesis is to create a BIM-based framework for building circularity assessment (BCA) that enables an analysis of R strategies such as Reusing, Recycling and Rethinking with graphically aided data representation and supports decision-making starting from the early stages to end of life. To learn more about building circularity indicators and assessment approaches, a literature rev...
