The Third Airport Project Vis-A-Vis Life, Nature, Environment, People and Law 1 The Third Airport Project Vis-a-Vis Life, Nature, Environment, People and Law Prepared by: Northern Forests Defense March 2015, Istanbul 2 NORTHERN FORESTS DEFENSE Northern Forests Defense (NFD / KOS) is a movement that advocates for the protection of the ecologically interconnected and diverse area extending from Sapanca to Strandzha Mountains consisting of the last forest lands, watersheds, and farm lands along with many endemic plant and animal species. In accordance with this goal, it has established itself as a movement that organizes and fights against any urban or rural project that does not take nature, reason or science into account, regardless of its scale or justification, while making sure its focus stays on northern İstanbul. NFD, founded in July 2013 as part of the rising struggle against the urban and environmental plunder that has become even more visible after the Gezi Park resistance, tries to bring those working to protect their living spaces in their own region against the “creative destruction” of the capital together. At the same time, it tries to ensure that knowledge and experience are shared among defenders of life. NFD is against all kinds of projects that destroy ecosystems, including but not limited to the “mega projects” such as the 3rd bridge, Canal Istanbul, and the 3rd airport. Within this framework, to be able to defend the rights of the communities living in the rural north as a part of nature, NFD builds solidarity with every individual and organization that thinks, acts and organizes in accordance with similar goals and tries to amplify the resistance by standing together with them. In addition, NFD defends nature with its animals, insects and plants, briefly all beings, in not only Istanbul and Turkey but also on a global scale. NFD is independent of all kinds of economic, political or ideological organizations. It makes its decisions in its widely announced weekly forums that are open to everyone and in which each individual has equal rights to speak and participate in the decision-making processes. NFD advocates for self-governance and tries to put this philosophy into practice within itself, and in all areas of life. In parallel with this, it rejects all hierarchy adopting an organizational system where the distribution of the tasks is alternated. 3 CONTENTS INTRODUCTION ....................................................................................................................................... 8 1.

  • The Methods Used in Monitoring of Large Dams in Turkey
    ©2020 Published in 8th International Symposium on Innovative Technologies in Engineering and Science 23-25 October 2020 (ISITES2020 Bursa - Turkey) https://doi.org/10.33793/acperpro.03.01.51 The Methods Used in Monitoring of Large Dams in Turkey Haluk BALI1*, Salih ALCAY2 1 The General Directorate of State Hydraulic Works, 5. Regional Directorate, 56. Division Office, Kırıkkale, Turkey, 2 Necmettin Erbakan University, Engineering and Achitecture Faculty, Geomatics Engineering Department, Konya, Turkey. Abstract Turkey is a very rich country in terms of water resources. However, in order to use these resources efficiently, water must be stored safely. In this context, the best form of storage is the construction of dams. In our country, large dams, which are among the world's important dams, are being built. Although there are many advantages of large dams, the loss of life and property will be so great in case of a possible deformation or destruction. The fact that dams are under the influence of various forces, as well as being located in the earthquake zone of our country, necessitates continuous monitoring of our dams. Dams are generally monitored using geodetic methods and geotechnical devices. However, mostly details of these two methods are evaluated separately in dam monitoring. Evaluating the results of both methods together is very important for the comprehensive monitoring of the dam and the correct interpretation of possible deformations. In this study, large dams in our country and monitoring studies carried out by using geodetic and geotechnical methods in these dams are given in detail. Key words: Dam, Deformation Monitoring, Geodetic, Geotechnical 1.

This publication is written within the framework of the project “Reality Check Series: Sources, Tools and Impact of External Non-EU-Engagement in Southeast Europe” led by the Südosteuropa-Gesellschaft (SOG) with the support of the German Federal Foreign Office (Stability Pact for Southeast Europe sponsored by Germany). About the project Recently, the Western Balkans region and the whole of Southeast Europe have developed into a showcase of great power interests. In particular, Russia, Turkey, and China are coming to the fore as increasingly committed external actors (in addition to the European Union and the USA). Nevertheless, there are differences in the motivations and goals of the actors concerned. The project of the Südosteuropa-Gesellschaft / Southeast Europe Association took a closer look at the motives, instruments, and effects of the influence of Russia, Turkey, and China. The project examined the geostrategically, security policy,
