The necessary applications have already been filed to the Energy Market Regulatory Authority (EMRA) in order to obtain the Licenses to establish a Natural Gas Power Plant and to generate electricity within the scope of the project. The power plant configuration (2 gas turbines and 1 steam turbine) have been proposed within the project scope and the power output from each turbine is 309.6 MWt. The turbine thermal power conversion efficiency is calculated by taking the value of 37.23%. The approximate thermal output power of gas turbine is calculated as (309.6x2)/0.3723 = 1663 MWt and steam turbine as 328 MW. The Combined Cycle Plant’s efficiency is around 58.6% at reference site conditions. A ready-mix concrete plant with a capacity of 100 m3/hour is foreseen within the scope of the project to be used at the construction phase. The aggregate material which is required for production of the ready-mix concrete will be purchased from the market as pre-prepared. The ready-mix concrete plant will be shut down following completion of the construction phase.. The ESIA was commissioned by ACWA Power Electricity Operation and Management Industry and Trade Co. and undertaken by MGS Project Consultancy Engineering Trade Limited Company. The international investment banks involved in the financing of the project will require compliance with the following standards: The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) Performance Requirements for Environmental and Social Standards, International Finance Corporation (IFC) Performance Standards on Social and Environmental Sustainability Environmental and Social Impact Assessment Standards of World Bank, Environmental and Social Principles and Standards of European Investment Bank, Equator Principles Korea Eximbank Common Approaches International Environmental Treaties and Conventions adopted by Turkey The Project also needs to be in compliance with Turkish Republic environmental and social legislation. For this, Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Report was prepared according to Turkish Legislations. EIA process started by MGS Project Consultancy Engineering Trade Limited Company on 05.04.2013 by submitting EIA Application File to the Ministry of Environment and Urbanization. Moreover, since EBRD is one of the banks funding the Project and Turkey is a candidate country for entry to the European Union, the project must comply with EU Directives relating to environmental and social standards. 1 ACWA POWER KIRIKKALE NATURAL GAS COMBINED CYCLE POWER PLANT PROJECT NON-TECHNICAL SUMMARY Evaluation of NGCCPP Project was carried out in accordance with the aforementioned guidelines and procedures. In the evaluation process, a systematic procedure was implemented including; physical, natural, cultural, social and socioeconomic impacts of the Project, mitigation measures, improvements and compensation of negative impacts and provision of positive benefits. A Non-Technical Summary (NTS) describing the Project and a Stakeholder Engagement Plan (SEP) has been prepared for this project as per EBRD/IFC requirements. An Environmental and Social Action Management and Monitoring Plan (ESAMMP) has been prepared to describe the mitigation and monitoring measures necessary for this project. This plan includes relevant mitigations required during construction, operation and decommissioning to ensure compliance with both Turkish and International standards. The NTS report should be read in conjunction with the related SEP, ESIA and ESAMP documents. This project has been evaluated within the scope of the following annexes of the Regulation on the Environmental Impact Assessment, which became effective upon

The study area was the Marmara Region, one of the most densely populated and ecologically diverse areas in Turkey. Using CORINE land cover data for 2006, 2012, and 2018, the study utilized multiple correspondence analyses and cluster analyses, to analyze land cover changes. The resulting maps, visualized in GIS, revealed the rapid urban transformation of the regional structure, formerly comprised of four distinct areas, into a more complex structure, in which densification and sprawl occur simultaneously. Our findings demonstrated a dissonance between the spatial dynamics of the Marmara Region during the study period, and the capacity and scope of the simultaneously initiated regional policies and mega-projects. This uncoordinated approach has endangered the region’s sustainable development. The paper, therefore, discusses the importance of land use planning and transboundary collaboration Citation: Genel, Ö.A.; Guan, C. for sustainable regional development.

    UNDERSTANDING REGIONAL DISPERSION OF POLICE- RECORDED CRIMES IN TURKEY FROM THE ROUTINE ACTIVITIES THEORY PERSPECTIVE Türkiye'de Polise Kayıtlı Suçların Rutin Aktiviteler Teorisi Açısından Bölgesel Dağılımı Tuba TOPÇUOĞLU* Özet u çalışma, 2004 ve 2006 yıllarına ait polis kayıtlarını kullanarak Bhırsızlık, gasp, cinayet vc yaralama/darp olaylarının Türkiye'deki coğrafi dağılışını inceleyip sosyal çevrenin bu dağılışa etkisini anlamaya katkıda bulunmayı amaçlamıştır. Belirtilen her suç kategorisi için iller üç gruba ayrılmış (düşük suç oranı, orta suç oranı, yüksek suç oranı) ve sonrasında rutin aktiviteler teorisi ışığında iller arasındaki yapısal farklılıkların bu gruplar arasındaki suç oranı farklılıklarını açıklamaya etkisi incelenmiştir. Sonuçlar, incelenen teorik model ile kısmen uyumludur. Bulgulara göre hırsızlık ve gasp suçları hem coğrafi dağılım hem de belirleyici etkenler açısından benzerlik göstermektedir. Hedef uygunluğu (kişi başı gayrî safi yurt içi hasıla ve sanayileşme düzeyi) ve korumacılığın (hane halkı sayısı ve işsizlik oranı) ölçümünde kullanılan değişkenler bu suçların dağılımını belirleyen en güçlü etkenler olmuştur. Kişiye karşı suçların ise farklı etiyolojisi var görünmektedir. Korumacılık (işsizlik oranı ve hane halkı sayısı) ve maruz kalma (şehirleşme oranı) ölçümü için kullanılan değişkenler yaralama/darp suçlarının dağılımını belirleyen en güçlü etkenler iken, kullanılan hiçbir değişken cinayet suçlarının dağılımını yeterli ölçüde açıklayamamıştır.

We perform global 15 mantle circulation computations to test the role of slab pull and mantle upwellings as driving forces 16 for the kinematics of the Arabia-Anatolia-Aegean (AAA) system, evaluating different boundary 17 conditions and mantle density distributions as inferred from seismic tomography or slab models. 18 Model results are compared with geodesy, residual topography, and shear wave splitting 19 observations. The AAA velocity field with respect to Eurasia shows an anti-clockwise toroidal 20 pattern, with increasing velocities toward the Aegean trench. The best match to these crustal 21 motions can be obtained by combining the effect of slab pull exerted in the Aegean with a mantle 22 upwelling underneath Afar and, more generally, with the large-scale flow associated with a whole 23 mantle, Tethyan convection cell. Neogene volcanism for AAA is widespread, not only in the 24 extensional or subduction settings, but also within plates, such as in Syria-Jordan-Israel and in 25 Turkey, with geochemical fingerprints similar of those of the Afar lava.
