Main purpose of this thesis is to explore closed cultivation environment as greenhouses under protected cultivation in Turkey, emphasizing advanced production methods in use, challenges of improving current operations and ways of diffusing advanced tools and equipment through policies. In order to specify needs and solutions towards diffusing greenhouse technologies, solutions compatible to Speaking Plant Approach are centered. Protected cultivation technologies are not diffused at the potential level in Turkey, compared to countries known with their greenhouse operations and their scientific contribution in advancing Speaking Plant Approach, as Netherlands and Japan. Beside of financial investment concerns, key development areas need to be investigated with an interdisciplinary aspect to ensure policies have a holistic approach. Functional categories are designed and elaborated in accordance with Technological Innovation System approach to generate policy instruments and recommendations. The functional analysis underlines problems to be addressed, in parallel to prioritization made by actors taking part in public policies in agricultural concerns. Accordingly, greenhouse owners selected by different size of operations are included to this study to understand producer needs and expectations in the field. Bearing in mind the country-based resources and infrastructure on greenhouse operations and technologies, policy instruments are presented according to both greenhouse owner expectations and perspectives of public servants in Chambers of Agriculture.

AN ASSESSMENT OF LOCALIZATION POLICIES IN TURKEY: THE CASE OF MOBILE TELECOMMUNICATION SECTOR Acar, Musa; Erdil, Erkan; Department of Science and Technology Policy Studies (2022-9) The primary purpose of this thesis is to evaluate Turkey's innovation policies in the mobile telecommunications sector. A limited number of global companies produce mobile telecommunication technologies. These companies dominate the infrastructure market. Policymakers in Turkey have set domestic production in the electronic communications sector as a target in many strategy documents. ULAK company was established, and HTK, which hosts approximately 150 companies, has formed for production in the indus...
Impact of Atatürk dam on social and environmental aspects of the southeastern Anatolia project Akyürek, Gökçe; Altınbilek, Doğan H.; Department of Civil Engineering (2005) In this thesis the impact of the Atatürk Dam on social and environmental aspects of the Southeastern Anatolia Project has been discussed in terms of planning and policy making, institutional arrangements, infrastuctural development and human resources development. In order to analyse the impacts of Atatürk Dam data related to several components are collected. These components can be listed as resettlement, land acquisition and land consolidation, education, health, gender issues. The results show that the A...
Assessment of low temperature geothermal resources Arkan, Serkan; Parlaktuna, Mahmut; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2003) One of the most applicable methods of low-temperature geothermal resource assessment is volumetric method. While applying volumetric method, the values of uncertain parameters should be determined. An add-in software program to Microsoft EXCEL, @RISK, is used as a tool to define the uncertainties of the parameters in volumetric equation. In this study, Monte Carlo simulation technique is used as the probabilistic approach for the assessment of lowtemperature Balçova-Narlidere geothermal field. Although Balç...
THE ROLE OF COMMUNITY ENERGY PLANNING IN DECENTRALIZATION POLICIES OF TURKEY Erkan, Esengül; Senol Balaban, Meltem; Department of Urban Policy Planning and Local Governments (2022-1-27) The thesis examines the applications of renewable energy towards community energy as an urban policy in the local governments of Turkey. A comprehensive study was conducted on the energy production and consumption from renewable energy in the world and in Turkey, and the increase in global renewable energy activities in recent years was discussed together with issues such as climate crisis and localization. In the discussions on political, administrative, and financial decentralization and privatization pol...
Development of human health risk-based Soil Quality Standards for Turkey: Conceptual framework İpek, Meltem; Ünlü, Kahraman (2020-09-01) Soil Quality Standards (SQSs) are considered as an important tool for management of contaminated sites. In order to manage adverse effects associated with soil contamination, risk-based SQSs are used worldwide. However, developing health risk-based SQSs is a challenging task. It involves comprehensive assessment of nationwide site characteristics (e.g. soil, hydrogeological, climatic properties), understanding of social behaviors that determine human exposure to soil pollutants (e.g. exposure scenarios and ...
