Master Thesis Evaluation of Waste Management System in İzmir-Karaburun Peninsula From Sustainability Perspective(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2022) Hajatnia, Haniyeh; Ökten, Hatice Eser; Ökten, Hatice Eser; 03.07. Department of Environmental Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyGlobal solid waste generation is constantly rising, hence the need for management strategies that implement environmental improvements. The sustainable municipal solid waste management strategy for municipalities must include collection and transportation. The collection and transportation sector have been neglected while it is one of the most significant polluters. As a result, this study aims to model municipal solid waste transportation using Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) software which we used CCalC2 for this study and CML2001 methodology was used. To demonstrate how different approaches to waste management through transportation can reduce environmental impacts, LCA modeling was done for the three districts of Urla, Çeşme, and Karaburun, all of which are located on the Karaburun Peninsula. Each district was assigned three scenarios, with Scenario 0 representing current municipal practices, Scenario 1 representing a 50% reduction in plastic waste, and Scenario 2 representing a 50% reduction in all renewables. Results showed that only plastic separation might not be enough to achieve significant e reductions in environmental impacts. It has been demonstrated that in the transportation sector of Urla and Çeşme, Scenario 1 had a CO2 reduction of 3.7% and Karaburun had a CO2 reduction of 3.8% while Scenario 2 represented at least a 20% reduction of carbon footprint in all three districts. Findings of this research will support municipalities in the roadmaps they will choose for the Municipal Solid Waste Management applications.Master Thesis Critical Review Of City Branding: Case Study Of Hacı Memiş District (alaçatı, Turkey)(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2019) Erdoğan, Cansu; Saygın, Nicel; Saygın, Nicel; 02.03. Department of City and Regional Planning; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyThis thesis examines the city branding process with a critical view in the case of Hacı Memiş District in Alaçatı, İzmir. In this context, the study is aimed to criticize city branding approach as an internationally research domain characterized by a multidisciplinary research. Actually, it investigates and analyzes the controversial issues of city branding. The case study of thesis, Alaçatı that has been defined as a recent phenomenon of city branding in Turkey from 2000s, is a historical settlement in İzmir Peninsula. Within the scope of the study, the surveys and in-depth interviews with groups of business owners, locals, visitors and pioneers in Alaçatı provided the study data to reveal the dynamics and direction of the transformation. The study also focuses on the context and background of the settlement, chronological processing of historical developments, social, demographic and economic structure, land uses, plans in different scales, projects and planning decisions, to show implications of city branding on the place and target groups, especially, the locals. The aim of this study is to assess the branding story of Alaçatı in detail for disclosing a spatial, social, economic and quality of life implications on the locals. Research findings indicates that, the branding process of Alaçatı has brought about a radical transformation in Alaçatı. These impacts have caused varied tendencies, particularly, "gentrification" and in parallel with the gentrification in cities, "displacement" tookplace in Alaçatı.Master Thesis Blue growth in Izmir Peninsula(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2019) Coşkunışık, Ceren; Velibeyoğlu, Koray; Velibeyoğlu, Koray; 02.03. Department of City and Regional Planning; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyThe trend towards exploiting natural resources caused by urbanization and increasing population has recently started to attract significant attention. In particular, it is the 'Blue Growth' concept, a subject not previously considered in the field of planning, for which the European Union has started to develop holistic and sustainable policies. In traditional planning studies, the terrestrial and coastal areas are considered as a whole and the marine areas are excluded from the planning. The seas, however, cover a large part of the city and its habitats. In marine areas such as the terrestrial areas; The regions that need to be protected, the species that need to be protected, the regions that are formed according to the diversity of the areas of use, and the regions that need to be used by the sectoral diversity. In this study, people from different institutions and organizations involved with marine areas were interviewed by using qualitative data collection method. The study aims to raise awareness about marine areas, to give information about the European approach in dealing with marine areas and to show that the seas should be considered together with land and coastal planning in Turkey. Therefore, in this study, we investigated how the sea areas are used, which laws and regulations are applied to the seas, which sectors and which stakeholders are involved with the sea. Then, maritime areas were examined on the Izmir peninsula in the framework of marine tourism and aquaculture and fishing. As a result of this study, we hope to increase awareness about the marine areas to be included in the field of planning and we will suggest our ideas about the holistic planning approach. This study will provide guidance on the marine environment and legal regulations for future studies.
