Book Part Impacts of Remediation of Halogenated Organic Compounds in Soils and Sediments(IGI Global, 2019) Demirtepe,H.Halogenated hydrophobic organic compounds (HOCs) have been used in various industrial applications and are present in many commercial products. Due to their emissions during manufacturing and discharges as wastes, halogenated HOCs such as polychlorinated biphenyls and polybrominated diphenyl ethers are ubiquitously found in the environment and create contaminated sites. To remove the contamination from these sites, various remediation techniques have been useful. The purpose of this chapter is to investigate the impacts of traditional and emerging remediation techniques on ecosystem. One of the traditional remediation techniques is dredging and the mostly studied emerging remediation techniques are bioaugmentation and biostimulation. The efficiency of these techniques is also evaluated regarding reduction in contaminant mass. Overall, this chapter presents the efficiency and possible impacts of dredging, bioaugmentation and biostimulation of soils and sediments, and the implications include the evaluation of most feasible remediation techniques by using life cycle assessment. © 2020 by IGI Global.

The increasing environmental and waste challenges in urban areas necessitate a thorough investigation of waste management through the lenses of reverse logistics and sustainable urban logistics paradigms. This chapter delves into the realm of sustainable urban logistics within the framework of waste governance, emphasizing the perspective of environmental justice. Izmir's solid waste governance, considered an unsuccessful case in sustainable urban logistics, is critically analysed. The chapter examines the unsustainable urban logistics in waste governance, emphasizing resulting injustices and socio-environmental risks. Employing a mixed-methods approach with quantitative, qualitative, and geographical data, the study highlights the environmentally, socially, and economically unsustainable facets of urban logistics, presenting a distinctive example through the lenses of environmental justice and waste governance. © 2024, IGI Global.

Uncertainties in their population sizes, places of residence and work make transportation decisions difficult. This chapter aims to examine access to public transportation and predict potential human movement in the refugee-dense districts of Izmir, which is the 8th city with the highest Syrian population in Turkiye. In this chapter, Syrians are considered refugees due to mass-forced displacement and social conditions. Using space syntax methods, segregated or integrated areas were identified, and the accessibility was measured by network analysis. Spatial configurations were evaluated based on population size and land use. Considering the size of the refugee population, the social logic of space is understood more realistically. Comprehensive strategies are needed for reducing spatial segregation and social exclusion of refugees, including land use planning, public spaces, and transportation services. Additionally, it is important to consider urban logistics ethics in this process. © 2024, IGI Global. All rights reserved.
