    Municipal Solid Waste Management Via Multi-Criteria Decision Making Methods: a Case Study in Istanbul Turkey
    (Elsevier Science, 2018) Çoban, Aslı; Ertiş, İrem Fırtına; Çavdaroğlu, Nur Ayvaz
    In contemporary era solid waste management has become an important issue for developing countries. Rapidly increasing population higher life-standards and technological advancements consistently increase the amount and the diversity of solid waste. In such a complicated environment municipal authorities need to develop the most effective disposal solution to manage the ever-growing municipal solid waste. In this study various disposal techniques that are utilized globally are investigated and different scenarios that could be applicable to Turkey are created. These scenarios might also be implementable for other Europe and Central Asia (ECA) countries. For that purpose 8 solid waste disposal scenarios were evaluated via 7 criteria which are determined according to the opinions of the experts from the field. Towards this end three different multi-criteria decision-making methods namely Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) Preference Ranking Organization Method for Enrichment Evaluations (PROMETHEE) I and PROMETHEE II were utilized for the scenario evaluation. Consequently the most appropriate and feasible scenarios are determined. The results indicate the prominence of recycling and landfill technologies for developing countries. The results are consistent by means of all the three methodologies that are used. (C) 2018 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

    A New Energy Paradigm for Turkey: A Political Risk-Inclusive Cost Analysis for Sustainable Energy
    (Elsevier Science, 2011) Oksay, Serhan; İşeri, Emre
    Implementing sustainable development policies in order to achieve economic and social development while maintaining adequate environmental protection to minimize the damage inflicted by the constantly increasing world population must be a major priority in the 21st century. While the emerging global debate on potential cost-effective responses has produced potential solutions such as cap and trade systems and/or carbon taxes as part of evolving sustainable energy/environmental policies this kind of intellectual inquiry does not seem to be an issue among Turkish policy-making elites. This is mainly due to their miscalculation that pursuing sustainable energy policies is much more expensive in comparison to the utilization of fossil fuels such as natural gas. Nevertheless the pegged prices of an energy sector dominated by natural gas are illusive as both the political risks and environmental damage have not been incorporated into the current cost calculations. This paper evaluates energy policies through a lens of risk management and takes an alternative approach to calculating energy costs by factoring in political risks. This formulation reveals that the cost of traditional fossil-based energy is in fact more expensive than renewable energy. In addition to being environmentally friendly the paradigm shift towards renewable energy policies would provide Turkey with a significant opportunity to stimulate its economy by being one of the first countries to develop green technologies and as a result this burgeoning sector would prompt job creation as well ; mainly due to the externalities.
