IMIA NEWS Special Issue – Territorial Information No. 1 Dec 2013 What goes on in Turkey Construction of the Gebze Izmir Motorway & Gebze Bay Crossing see more on page 4 More info p.2 The Turkish Insurance Market is growing by 24.8% as at end of September 2013. The Engineering Lines overall are growing by 37.7% when compared to the same period of time. When we look at the September results of the insurance companies in Turkey, Machinery Breakdown Insurances have grown by 24%, Electronic Equipment Insurance has grown by 21.2% and the Erection All Risks, together with Construction All Risks Insurances have grown by almost 60%. The major effect in this growth is one specific Project covering the highway construction from Istanbul to Izmir and the bridge to be built in the Izmit Bay. There are many other Engineering projects in the pipeline to come. Here are some examples: 1 THE THIRD BOSPHORUS BRIDGE Bridge of Firsts The 3rd Bridge, which is going to be built on the Bosphorus, Istanbul within the Northern Marmara Motorway Project executed by IC Ictas – Astaldi Consortium, is considered the future of transportation and commerce. The 3rd bridge, which is going to be built on the Bosphorus, Istanbul after the Bogazici Bridge, which started operating in 1972, and the Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge, which was completed in 1988, is regarded as the bridge of firsts. 8 lanes of motorway and 2 lanes of railway will be located at the same level on the 3rd Bosphorus Bridge, which will be a product of professional engineering and advanced technology built by a team, most of whom are Turkish engineers. -

Phthalates Pollution in Algae of Turkish Coast
J. Black Sea/Mediterranean Environment Vol. 20, No. 2: 122˗126 (2014) RESEARCH ARTICLE Phthalates pollution in algae of Turkish coast Sinem Erakın, Neşe Binark, Kasım Cemal Güven1*, Burak Coban2, Hüseyin Erduğan3 1 Turkish Marine Research Foundation (TUDAV), P. O. Box: 10, Beykoz, Istanbul, TURKEY 2 Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Arts and Sciences, Bulent Ecevit University, Zonguldak, TURKEY 3 Department of Biology, Faculty of Science, 18 Mart University, Çanakkale, TURKEY *Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract In this work phthalates pollution in red, brown and green algae in the Black Sea, Istanbul Starait and Çanakkale Strait were investigated. The detected phthalate derivatives were DEP, DIBP, DBP and DEHP. Very toxic phthalate DEHP was found only in the Istanbul Strait. Phthalates pollution of algae depends on the pollution of sea water. Keywords: Phthalates, red, brown, green algae, Turkish coast Introduction Phthalates are phthalic acid esters used since 1931. They increase flexibility and transparency of plastics, detergents, wax, paints, printings, textiles and also used in pharmacy as tablet coatings, emulsifying, suspending agents and cosmetics. They were used approximately six million tons every year. Phthalates are released into environment during various utilization and create high risk for human health. They cause breast/hepatic cancer, allergies, disrupt endocrine system. Various phthalate derivatives are shown in Table 1. Phthalates have been detected in seawater and marine organisms by various authors (Giam et al. 1978; Sullivan et al. 1982; Ernst 1983; Waldock 1983; Preston and Al˗Omran 1986; Tan 1995; Wahidulla and De Souza 1995), in fish (Stalling et al. 1973), in jellyfish in the atoll (Morris 1970), in shrimp (Laughlin et al. -
Public-Private Partnership Experience in the International Arena: Case of Turkey
Public-Private Partnership Experience in the International Arena: Case of Turkey Asli Pelin Gurgun, Ph.D.1; and Ali Touran, Ph.D., P.E., F.ASCE2 Abstract: Public-private partnership (PPP) models are frequently used in construction projects worldwide. The experiences of developed and developing countries vary depending on existing legal, economical, social, and political environments. Although there are some common challenges, risks, limitations, and success factors, practicing PPP framework is also dependent on country-specific factors. In this paper, first the state of the art in frequent PPP practicing regions/countries such as Europe, the U.K., and China are summarized; and a review of PPP experience in the U.S. is presented. Then, Turkey, where different PPP models have been used for nearly three decades, is analyzed in more depth as an example for developing countries. A new PPP law has been drafted to expand the legal context and types of models and overcome the existing limitations since the first introduction of PPP projects in Turkey in early 1980s. An intensive PPP literature survey has been made to present the common success factors, risks, limitations, and challenges in Europe, the U.K., China, U.S., and Turkey as well as under- standing the differences in the implementations. A viable economic environment, proper contractual arrangements for appropriate risk allocation, well-established legal basis, public support, transparency, and a central unit to standardize the procedures are determined to be major factors for successful PPP projects.

ONG* Department of Life Science, Hallym University, Chuncheon 24252, Korea 1PPCWS Office, Forest Department (MONREC/MoECAF), Ywangan 06041, Shan State, Myanmar (Received 18 August 2018; Revised 19 September 2018; Accepted 22 September 2018) ABSTRACT: Myanmar’s plant diversity is expected to be very high given the wide variety of climates and the diverse vegetation and geographical features of the country. Since the publication of Kress et al.’s plant check- list in 2003, new and unrecorded species have been constantly reported by various botanists, but much of Myan- mar’s flora requires more intensive examinations. We conducted joint floristic surveys of several Ywangan areas, including the Panlaung-Pyadalin Cave Wildlife Sanctuary in southern Shan State of Myanmar. The initial identification of seed plant specimens collected from three short floristic expeditions revealed that 23 species were newly recorded species in Myanmar. More than half of these were found to be geographically notable spe- cies, which are known to be endemic to neighboring countries such as China (4 spp.), Thailand (6 spp.), and India (2 spp.). A considerable number of these unrecorded species are distributed in the limestone areas of neighboring countries, reflecting the geological characteristics of the survey area. -
Third Bosphorus Bridge Completed
THIRD BOSPHORUS BRIDGE COMPLETED Istanbul, 7 March 2016 – Since yesterday, Europe and Asia have been linked by the Third Bosporus Bridge. Construction began in 2013, and the final key segment to close the deck was welded in place yesterday. It is a bridge of records: the world’s only suspension bridge with a deck accommodating an 8-lane motorway (4 lines in each direction) separated by 2 railway lines, all on the same level; the world’s widest suspension bridge; the suspension bridge with the tallest “A”-shaped towers in the world. The hybrid cable-stayed suspension bridge is 59 metres wide, with a 1.4 kilometre span between the towers – the equivalent of eleven soccer pitches end to end. Its two towers soar to a height of 322 metres – taller than the 300-metre Eiffel Tower. The Third Bosporus Bridge is part of a larger project, The Northern Marmara Highway Project, that calls for building a total of about 190 kilometres of motorway. The works, carried out with the BOT (“Build-Operate- Transfer”) formula, involve a total investment exceeding US$ 3 billion, funded through project finance. Since the 1980s, Astaldi has been a presence in Turkey, where it has already built a section of the Anatolian Motorway (116 kilometres, between Gumusova and Gerede), the Istanbul underground (26 kilometres and 16 stations, opened in August 2012), the international terminal of the Milas-Bodrum Airport (constructed in just 15 months and operated through October 2015), and Istanbul’s Haliç Bridge. The Group is currently engaged in completing the more than 400-kilometre Gebze-Orhangazi-Izmir Motorway and the Etlik Integrated Health Campus in Ankara, one of the largest healthcare complexes under construction in Europe. -

As a natural beauty, it is possible to see pleasant streams of Kucuksu and Goksu, the opening of Bosphorus into the fascinating Black Sea, and the small yet lovely villages inside. It won’t be wrong to say that Beykoz is in the top 3 charming districts of Istanbul. In the past, Beykoz was used for hunting by Ottoman sultans, you can still see the remaining buildings such as fountains and mosques from that era. Bosphorus coastal on the Anatolian side starts from Beylerbeyi and goes up to Beykoz in the North. Residents can also use the ferries from central spots such as Eminonu, Besiktas, Yenikoy, Bebek, or Emirgan to the neighborhoods of the Anatolian side. The location has the most expensive mansion on the coastal line. The mansions are still photographed by the tourists from the ferries. While the European side is populous and dynamic, Beykoz is mostly the peaceful one. -

4.0 Ecology and Biodiversity
AECOM Final Report Environment 4-1 4.0 ECOLOGY AND BIODIVERSITY 4.1 Introduction This chapter describes the ecological features on the route and in the immediate vicinity of the Bosphorus Third Bridge and Northern Marmara Motorway and identifies the potential effects that the scheme will have on ecological receptors in the area. Proposals for mitigation are described and the residual impacts of the Project are discussed. 4.2 Ecological Impact Assessment This chapter provides an assessment of the potential effects on sensitive ecological receptors of the Project. It identifies and assesses the potential construction and operational impacts of the development and formulates an appropriate mitigation strategy. In summary, the scope of this assessment is to: • Provide baseline ecological data on the proposed road alignment corridor; • Examine and analyse these data with regard to the proposed development; • Identify the significance of any potential direct/indirect impact on the ecology of the proposed development site and its immediate environs; and • Identify appropriate and effective means of mitigating the potential adverse impacts arising from the construction and operation of the proposed Bosporus Third Bridge and Northern Marmara Motorway and associated infrastructure. Impacts have been evaluated and assessed through using information derived from desk based studies and from site specific field surveys. Loss and/or fragmentation of habitats, focusing on potential impacts on important habitats and species has been considered within this assessment. 4.3 Methods 4.3.1 Scope of Assessment This section summarizes the methods adopted for ecological desk study, habitat and protected species surveys. The general approach taken is a modified version of the guidelines published by the Institute of Ecology and Environmental Management (IEEM), July 2006.
