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 Participatory Planning Support System for Assessment of Spatial Conflicts in Izmir Peninsula(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2014) Yazdani, Hamidreza; Saygin, Mustafa Ömür; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyDevelopment strategies and their possible impacts over time as a consequences of proposed spatial development are one of the main concerns of planners in planning process. Understanding the impact of these changes on environment and balanced management to distribute resources are essential indicators for planning approach aiming to achieve the sustainable development. A precise, accurate and up-to-date data in addition to reliable spatial analysis are basic requirements of sustainable decision making. A Planning support system (PSS) is mainly based on collecting, monitoring, analyzing data and evaluating the impacts of alternative planning scenarios using Geographical Information Systems (GIS) for contributing spatial decisions. This study offers an approach to evaluate possible conflicts between development strategies in an environmentally sensitive areas. The approach is based on a PSS which integrated collaboratively weighted scenarios and natural assets. The study identify a framework for Co-production of data, evaluation of model outcomes and ranking natural and regional assets in cooperation of interest groups by utilizing Delphi survey in a conflict model of Esri ArcGIS. This model reveals impact level of development strategies on environmentally sensitive area and geographically map the conflicts of these strategies on each other and nature. The outcomes of model assist decision makers to produce alternative approaches for sensitive areas where conflicts of different polices are inevitable. Additionally the model utilize public participation in both gathering data and evaluating spatial analysis. This lead to a more adoptable planning practice where planners reach to public knowledge about region and guaranty guaranty consensuses in spatial decision making.
