    İzmir Institute of Technology Sustainability Report 2023
    (01. Izmir Institute of Technology, 2023)
    The IZTECH Sustainable Green Campus Coordinatorship was founded in 2014. A search conference for a sustainable living campus with the tagline “happy campus” was held with the campus actors’ collective participation. However, it was not until December 2019 that a Framework on Sustainable Campus was defined. IZTECH has decided to apply the UI GreenMetric for critical self-evaluation and development in the field of sustainability in 2020 and continued to do so in 2021 and 2022 as well. With the motto of “happy campus, happy peninsula, happy Izmir,” the IZTECH Sustainable Green Campus Coordination group was formed. It consists of 12 academics including our rector, our academicians who are expert in the field and young and enthusiastic teaching assistants. Most importantly, our Coordinatorship continues today thanks to the support of eco motion and numerous other student communities. As a result, we are able to assure the sustainability of our campus through bottom-up development.

    İzmir Institute of Technology Sustainability Report 2022
    (01. Izmir Institute of Technology, 2022)
    İzmir Institute of Technology (IZTECH) aims at creating a sustainable and resilient campus environment that outreaches the boundaries of the campus in order to serve the in-campus and out-campus communities alike. In line with this main aim, IZTECH has initiated application to the Greenmetric World University Ranking that was developed by Universitas Indonesia. Therefore, IZTECH has undertaken a gap analysis in terms of its sustainability performance by determining the current situation and the future targets. There were 6 main topics to investigate and eventually improve: Setting and Infrastructure, Energy and Climate, Waste, Water, Transportation, Education and Research. October 2022 marks IZTECH’s third year of application to the Greenmetric Ranking. • In its first year IZTECH was ranked 217th out of 912 institutions. • In its second year, IZTECH was ranked 198th out of 956. In order to determine the scopes to develop and improve from each ranking IZTECH endeavors to create a sustainable campus environment. With a motto of “happy campus, happy peninsula, happy Izmir”, the IZTECH Sustainable Green working group was set up – consisting of 35 volunteering academics, employers, researchers, assistants as well as 15 students from the Eco-motion Student initiative - for a sustainable future.

    Participatory Planning Support System for Assessment of Spatial Conflicts in Izmir Peninsula
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2014) Yazdani, Hamidreza; Saygin, Mustafa Ömür
    Development 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.
