Geothermal Application Experiences in Turkey
GEOTHERMAL APPLICATION EXPERIENCES IN TURKEY Orhan Mertoglu, Nilgun Bakir, Tevfik Kaya ORME Jeotermal A.S., Ankara/Turkey; Hosdere Cad. 190/7-8-12,Cankaya, [email protected] Keywords: Turkey, geothermal heating, balneology, electricity, mineral recovery Abstract Utilization area of geothermal energy is mostly focussed on direct use applications in Turkey. Today 61.000 residences equivalence is being heated geothermally (665 MWt, including residences, thermal facilities, 565.000 m2 greenhouse heating). Moreover, with the balneological utilisation of geothermal fluids in 195 spa’s (327 MWt), the geothermal direct use capacity is 992 MWt. ORME Geothermal Inc has completed the engineering designs of nearly 300.000 residences equivalence geothermal district heating system. 170 geothermal fields (Figure 1) have been explored in Turkey. There is a single flash power plant with 20,4 MWe installed capacity. A liquid CO2 and dry ice production factory is integrated to this power plant. A binary cycle geothermal power plant with an installation capacity of 25 MWe is going to be constructed at Aydin/Germencik. The proven geothermal heat capacity according to the existing geothermal wells and natural discharges is 3132 MWt [1]. 1. INTRODUCTION There are 11 city based geothermal district heating systems in Turkey. These geothermal district heating systems have been constructed since 1987 and many development has been achieved in technical and economical aspects. The rapid development of geothermal district heating systems in Turkey is mostly depending on; - construction of suitable geothermal district heating systems according to Turkey’s conditions, - participation of the consumers to the geothermal district heating investments by about 50 % without any direct financing refund, - geothermal heating is about % 50-70 cheaper than natural gas heating.

Ü. & Çakar, M. (2020). Investigation of Outdoor Gamma Dose Rates in Yalova, Turkey. European Journal of Science and Technology, (18), 568-573. Abstract Radioactivity measurements were performed, at the Yalova (Turkey), part of the Marmara Sea, for natural radiation using a scintillation detector SP6 (via using portable counter ESP2, Eberline). Based on the measurement results, the lowest outdoor gamma concentration was calculated to 27.70 nGy/h while the highest one calculated to 66.00 nGy/h. And, the average of the measured gamma dose rates calculated to 48.13 nGy/h while the annual effective dose equivalent was calculated to 59.02 μSv/y. Mean value of excess lifetime cancer risk also obtained 2.07 10-4 from using measurement area. The results checked against the world average determined by UNSCEAR. It was concluded that the calculated gamma dose values in Yalova are below the world average.

Field Report
FIELD REPORT A POWERFUL VOICE FOR LIFESAVING ACTION February 2016 “EXCEPT GOD, WE HAVE NO ONE”: LACK OF DURABLE SOLUTIONS FOR NON-SYRIAN REFUGEES IN TURKEY Izza Leghtas and Daniel Sullivan Introduction Turkey is the world’s largest host of refugees and asylum-seekers, with the majority – 2.8 million – having fled the conflict in neighboring Syria. Another 290,000 come from other countries, including Afghanistan, Iraq, and Iran. The Turkish government has taken a number of positive steps to improve the lives of Syri- ans in Turkey, particularly in education and employment, even holding out the possibility for citizenship. Humanitarian actors are primarily focusing their efforts on the needs of the Syrians, but the protection measures available to displaced persons of other nationalities are far fewer and their living conditions are un- derreported. Turkey categorizes people who are not Syrian and who have fled from persecution in countries other than in Europe as “conditional refugees,” allowing them to stay in Turkey only temporarily, and placing heavier restrictions on them. This includes constraints on their movements and access to work and leaves them with greater uncertainty about their future. Among the “conditional refugees” are many who face par- ticular vulnerabilities and even more hardships, including LGBT people, single women and single parents, survivors of sexual or gender-based violence, religious minorities, and refugees from African countries. The asylum system in Turkey is relatively new and faces great challenges, but it must be updated to reflect current realities. It should be based on an equitable protection for refugees of all nationalities, and include specific protection measures for refugees facing particular vulnerabilities.

Frictional Strength of North Anatolian Fault in Eastern Marmara Region Ali Pınar* , Zeynep Coşkun, Aydın Mert and Doğan Kalafat
Pınar et al. Earth, Planets and Space (2016) 68:62 DOI 10.1186/s40623-016-0435-z FULL PAPER Open Access Frictional strength of North Anatolian fault in eastern Marmara region Ali Pınar* , Zeynep Coşkun, Aydın Mert and Doğan Kalafat Abstract Frequency distribution of azimuth and plunges of P- and T-axes of focal mechanisms is compared with the orientation of maximum compressive stress axis for investigating the frictional strength of three fault segments of North Anato- lian fault (NAF) in eastern Marmara Sea, namely Princes’ Islands, Yalova–Çınarcık and Yalova–Hersek fault segments. In this frame, we retrieved 25 CMT solutions of events in Çınarcık basin and derived a local stress tensor incorporating 30 focal mechanisms determined by other researches. As for the Yalova–Çınarcık and Yalova–Hersek fault segments, we constructed the frequency distribution of P- and T-axes utilizing 111 and 68 events, respectively, to correlate the geometry of the principle stress axes and fault orientations. The analysis yields low frictional strength for the Princes’ Island fault segments and high frictional strength for Yalova–Çınarcık, Yalova–Hersek segments. The local stress ten- sor derived from the inversion of P- and T-axes of the fault plane solutions of Çınarcık basin events portrays nearly horizontal maximum compressive stress axis oriented N154E which is almost parallel to the peak of the frequency dis- tribution of the azimuth of the P-axes. The fitting of the observed and calculated frequency distributions is attained for a low frictional coefficient which is about μ 0.1. Evidences on the weakness of NAF segments in eastern Marmara Sea region are revealed by other geophysical≈ observations.

V (2) 2009 SOCIO-ECONOMIC STRUCTURE OF THE POPULATION IN YALOVA Mesut Doğan СОЦИО-ИКОНОМИЧЕСКАТА СТРУКТУРА ПОПУЛАЦИЯТА В ЯЛОВА Месут Доган ABSTRACT: The population is an extremely active phenomenon and one of the factors in the development of the settlement areas. Population structure is closely related with political, economic and social circumstances. In addition, developments in rural and urban population are also indications of the development levels. Popula- tion movements are quite important in our study area. Especially, Yalova, close to the metropolis Istanbul and to important trade centers such as Kocaeli and Bursa and with favorable living conditions is an area where signifi- cant changes take place in populational features.
