Heyelan Kontrol Çalişmalarinda Havza Bazli HEYELAN KONTROL ÇALIŞMALARINDA HAVZA BAZLI YAKLAŞIMLARIN KULLANIMI (RİZE ÖRNEĞİ) HAVZA GENEL DOĞU KARADENİZ’DE SEL VE HEYELAN AFETLERİ RİZE MERKEZ YANDERELER VE İYİDERE YUKARI HAVZASI SEL VE HEYELAN KONTROL PROJESİ SEL BOYLARINDA SEL ve HEYELAN KONTROLU İLE ZARAR AZALTMA FAALİYETLERİ SONUÇ VE DEĞERLENDİRMELER İklim değişikliğinin etkileri yanı sıra, insan kaynaklı etkenler doğal dengeleri bozmaktadır. Rize’de 2 günlük yağışın ardından gelişen sel ve heyelanlarda kayıp sayısı 12 ye ulaştı 2010 Rize İyidere ve Hemşin’de meydana gelen sel 4 can aldı 1973 Rize Aşırı yağışların neden olduğu taşkınlar Rize’de 10 kişinin hayatına mal oldu 1985 Rize Son yıllarda özellikle Doğu Karadeniz bölgesinde yaşanan sel ve heyelan afetleri nedeniyle Doğu Karadeniz bölgesinde oyuntu erozyonu, heyelan ve sel kontrolüne yönelik proje çalışmaları yoğunlaştırılmıştır. Çölleşme ve Erozyonla Mücadele Genel Müdürlüğünün görevleri arasında havza bütünlüğü esas alınarak erozyon, heyelan ve sel kontrolü ile entegre havza ıslah projeleri gerçekleştirilerek, toprağın korunması ve tabii kaynakların geliştirilmesi yer almaktadır. Bu kapsamda, Bakanlığımız yukarı havza erozyon, heyelan ve sel kontrol projelerine yönelik çalışmalar gerçeleştirmektedir. Doğu Karadeniz bölgesinde engebeli arazi yapısı, bol yağışlı iklim özellikleri, ayrışma, doğal bitki örtüsünün kaldırılarak fındık ve çay bahçelerine dönüştürülmesi, kırsal yerleşim birimlerinin dağınık yapılaşması, dağınık yapılaşmaya paralel düşük standartlı sık ulaşım ağı sistemi, ulaşım ağınının kontrolsüz yüzey drenaj sistemi oluşturması heyelanların oluşumunu hazırlayan ve tetikleyen faktörlerin başında gelmektedir. DOĞU KARADENİZ’DE SEL VE HEYELAN AFETLERİ Doğu Karadeniz'de 1929'dan 2015’ e kadar meydana gelen 51 sel, taşkınveheyelanda655kişihayatını kaybetti. 20 kişidekayboldu.

Ekosistemin bir parçası olan insan, aynı zamanda doğanın bir parçası olarak doğal işleyişe doğrudan müdahil bir varlıktır. Doğal kaynaklarla insanlar arasında sağlıklı ilişkiler kurulmalıdır. HAVZA GENEL ” Su, toprak, bitki örtüsü ve hayvan varlığı ile insan kaynaklarını değerlendirme, yeni kaynaklar bulup geliştirme, doğal kaynaklarla insanlar arasında sağlıklı ilişkiler kurma, mevcut kaynakların sürekliliğini sağlayarak sürdürülebilir kullanımının sağlanması ve geliştirilmesi amacıyla planlama, projelendirme ve uygulamalar yapılmalıdır. Bir başka deyişle havza yönetimi sağlanmalıdır. Havzadaki yerleşim alanları Yerleşim alanları genellikle havzanın alt kısımlarında bulunmaktadır. Bu alanlar yukarı havzada yapılan tüm eylemlerden etkilenmektedir. HAVZA GENEL HAVZANIN UNSURLARI Aşağı Havza: Akarsu havzasında ana nehrin deniz veya göle döküldüğü alt bölümüdür. Yukarı Havza: Yukarı Havza bir akarsu havzasının üst bölümü ve su toplama alanıdır. Alt Havza: Havzanın sularını denize boşaltan ana akarsuya bağlı, daha küçük akarsular veya göller için su toplama alanıdır. Mikrohavza: Yüzey veya yüzey‐altı akışlarla belirli bir drenaj sistemini (ırmak, nehir, veya göl) besleyen en küçük hidrolojik birimdir. Su Ayrım Çizgisi (Hattı): İki komşu havzayı birbirinden ayıran çizgiye su ayrım çizgisi (hattı) denir. Bu çizgi dağların en yüksek kesiminden geçer. Mikrohavza Yukarı Havza Aşağı Havza 8 Yukarı Havzada oyuntu ve dereciklerde meydana gelen kıyı oyulmaları, kıyı göçmeleri, kıyı kaymaları, kontrolsuz-önlemsiz kazılar ile heyelan olayları neticesinde maddi ve manevi zararlar meydana gelmektedir. 10 RİZE MERKEZ YANDERELER VE İYİDERE YUKARI HAVZASI SEL VE HEYELAN KONTROL PROJESİ İli Rize ve Trabzon İlçesi Rize Merkez, Kalkandere, Trabzon- Of Proje Numarası 2017/38/ÇAUP/.. Proje Sahası ile İlgili Yerleşim Merkezi Faaliyet önerilen havzalarda 55 adet köy sınırlarına girmektedir. Ana Havza Doğu Karadeniz Havzası Alt Havzalar İyidere (Kalkandere, Değirmendere Deresi, Kale Deresi) Pafta Numaraları F44C4-F44C3-F45D4-G44B1-G44B2-G44B3-G45A1-G45A4 Genel Alanı 30162,92 Ha 12 İklim Proje havzasında tipik Karadeniz iklimi hakimdir. Proje sahasına en yakın meteoroloji istasyonu Rize’dir. Meteoroloji istasyonunun rakımı 4 m’dir. Rize meteoroloji istasyonu verilerine göre yıllık ortalama sıcaklık 14,1 °C, en yüksek sıcaklık 18.0 °C, en düşük sıcaklık 10.9°C, ortalama nispi nem %75, ortalama toplam yağış 2233.5 mm dir. Her mevsim yağışlı olan Rize ilinde uzun süreli (1975-2005) yıllık yağış toplamı 2233.5 mm olup en yağışlı ay Ekim (uzun yıllar ortalaması 314.4 mm), en düşük yağışın olduğu aylar Nisan ve Mayıs Aylarıdır (95.3 mm). En yağışlı mevsim sonbahar (804.6 mm), en az yağışın olduğu mevsim ilkbahar (334.6 mm)’dır Mülkiyet Durumu Proje havzasında uygulama yapılacak dere ve oyuntuların bulunduğu noktalar ağırlıklı olarak orman, tarım arazileri ve hazine arazilerinden oluşmaktadır. Havzada yoğun bir şekilde çay üretimi yapıldığından tarımsal alanlar olarak görülen yerler çay bahçeleridir. 13 Hidroloji Durumu Çalışma havzasında 2 ana dere söz konusudur. Bu dereler; İyidere ve Kalkandere'dir. Kalkandere mansabında İyidere'ye bağlanmaktadır. Bu derelerin dışında pek çok irili ufaklı yan dereler bulunmaktadır. Bu derelerin yıl içerisinde ki debileri çok yüksek olmamakla birlikte ani şiddetli ve düzensiz yağışlarda sel ve taşkınlara neden olmaktadır. Çalışma havzasında drenaj ağı uzunluğu 722,40 km'dir. Faaliyet planlanan drenaj ağı uzunluğu 83,93 km'dir. İyidere Çayının dere yatak alanı 482,65 ha uzunluğu 62,95 km dere yatağının eğimi %4,7' dir İyidere deresi ortalama 28,35 m3 /sn su debisine sahiptir. İyidere'nin yıllık su bilançosu 1224 hm3/yıl dır. Soğanlı Dağları’nda Hayrat ilçesinden doğan İyidere, Rize ili ile Of ilçesi arasından denize ulaşır. Trabzon ve Rize arasında sınıroluşturan İkizdere, Cimil ve Kalkandere gibi dereler birleşerek İyidere deresini beslemektedir. İyidere çalışma havzasında ilk başlangıçnoktası olan Güneyce'den geçerek Karadeniz e kadar ulaşmaktadır. Kalkandere ise Sel Tepesinden doğmakta ve aşağıda İyidere Çayı ile birleşmektedir. Çalışmalar genel itbariyle bu yan derelerin drenaj ağında ve merkeze doğrudan ulaşan derecikler üzerinde planlanmıştır. 14 Yukarı havzalarda ön etütler kapsamında oyuntu ve Heyelan envanter çalışması yapılarak, heyelan dağılımı,drenajağı ve arazi kullanımı birlikte yorumlanmaktadır. Yukarı havzalarda özellikle sığ heyelanlarınçoğunlukla doğal drenaj boylarında olduğugörülmekleberaber heyelanlarındiğer etkili olduğu alanlar da yol boyları ve sosyal problemlerin yoğun yaşandığı çay bahçeleridir (yanlış arazi kullanımı) Bir dere havzasındaki çalışma sırası ve sık yol ağı 15 HEYELAN ENVANTER HARİTASI 315 adet heyelanın %87 si yüzey ve sığ heyelan 16 JEOLOJİ 315 adet heyelan Volkanit-Çökel (Volkanosedimenter Kayaç) Çağlayan Fm %88 Diğer kısım %12 17 ARAZİ KULLANIMI ARAZİ bozuk O. 1,904762 iskan 4,126984 verimli O. 10,15873 ziraat 83,80952 18 DRENAJ AĞI Drenaj Ağına Yakınlık 0‐50 29,84127 50‐100 37,14286 100‐200 18,09524 200‐300 7,936508 300‐400 5,714286 >400 1,269841 19 YOL AĞI Yol Ağına Yakınlık 0‐150 53,01587 150‐300 35,87302 300‐600 6,984127 600‐900 1,904762 900‐1200 1,269841 >1200 0,952381 20 21 PROJE

    İBRAHİM TELLİOĞLU, Trabzon Rum Devleti, Serander, Trabzon 2009. 183 pages. ISBN 978-9944-374-23-1 Introduction İbrahim Tellioğlu, who is a professor at Ondokuz Mayıs University, Faculty of Letters, History Department, displays his knowledge and talent to address a highly debated issue: Trebizond Greek State11 from a perspective unlike the common Western historiography in that he discusses it introducing several sources such as the Chronicle of Michael Paneretos the major source of the period of III. Aleksios (1349-1390), the most important source, regarding the relations of the Comnenos dynasty with the Turks and Venetians and Geneose in the neighbourhood, the Byzantine sources such as the the Chronicle of Georgios Acropolites, which enlightens the struggle of David Comneos with Theodore Laskaris, the Chronicle of Nikephoras Gregoras, Ioannes Kantakouzenus, and Laonikas Chalkokondyles and the Chronicles of Papadopoulos regarding Trebizond included at the end of the works ofJ. P. Falmerayer, G. Finlay, W. Miller, S. I. Karpov and F. I. Uspenski. Besides, he introduces the Venetian and Geneose sources related to the political situation of the Black Sea region and the Comnenos, especially from the last quarter of the 13th century onwards (p.xııı-xvı). In addition, he uses the tavelogues of Clavijo, sent as a Spanish envoy to Tamerlane. He asserts that the travelogues of Clavijo are highly important in that they give detailed information about the period of Manuel related the sovereignity of the Comnenos in the Black Sea region. The other source he uses is the “Anonymous Georgian Chronicle” published by Brosset titled as “Historie de la Georgia” in 1849 and the Chronicle of Cardinal Bessarion.

(Asteraceae) from Different Localities Emel H. Yusuf 1,* 1Department of Fruit, Vegetable and Plant Nutraceutical Technology, Wrocław University of Environmental and Life Sciences, 37 Chełmońskiego Street, 51-630 Wrocław, Poland *Corresponding Author: [email protected] Abstract Erigeron annuus Pers. is a harmful invasive species to natural flora, although it is used in the treatment of indigestion, hepatitis, lymphadenitis, enteritis, and hematuria in traditional medicine. In this study, E. annuus samples were investigated in terms of total phenolic content, antioxidant activities and invasive features. Aerial parts of E. annuus were collected from Ayder-Çamlıhemşin (Rize), Pazar (Rize), and Trabzon (Turkey). Total phenolic contents, free radical scavenging characteristics against 1,1-Diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), and 2,20-azinobis (3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) radicals (ABTS) were analyzed and compared with the collected localities. The invasive feature helps E. annuus to adapt everywhere. However, invasion of the plant is not an issue for medicinal applications except the collecting place of the plant. E. annuus is a lead accumulator, and the plant is seen on roadsides. Thus, the collecting region of the species should be chosen carefully to not obtain the side effects of heavy metals. Keywords: Lead accumulation, Ecology, TPC, DPPH, ABTS Introduction comparing their invasive properties.

  • Istanbul Prayer Guide
    PRAY THE DISTRICTS OF ISTANBULa prayer guide Step out the door and hear the horns honking, street dogs barking and the call of a local simit* seller bellowing out “Fresh simit! Fresh simit!” A gypsy woman sets up her street display—bright shades of orange and red daisies—and settles down on a short stool with a cup of tea, ready to watch the day go by. A businessman with a newspaper tucked under one arm and a briefcase slung over his shoulder dodges a taxi while crossing the street and also checking the soccer scores on his smart phone. Street cats congregate around a plate of fish that a benevolent neighbor has bestowed. The scented air outside a corner bakery tempts hungry passers-by. This is ISTANBUL. * A simit is a sesame-coated ring of bread In the last two decades the city of Istanbul has experienced explosive growth, pushing its boundaries ever further, swallowing up green space and creating new districts. Each district, or ilce, functions like a small town, with its own government and priorities, all the while remaining a distinct segment of the city of Istanbul. Most tourists visiting Istanbul are romanced by the charm of the old city, once known as Constantinople. They tour the top sites carefully marking attractions off their list: —Hagia Sophia, famed church-turned-mosque-turned-museum —Sultanahmet, the Blue Mosque, exquisitely tiled Muslim place of worship —The Cisterns, underground water system dating to the Byzantine era —Topkapı Palace and Dolmabahçe Palace, homes of the Ottoman sultans Most never see more than one or two of Istanbul’s forty-one districts.

  • Selling the Richness of Turkey by RONEN PALDI This Year ASTA Is
    Selling The Richness Of Turkey BY RONEN PALDI This year ASTA is holding its International Destination Expo, April 19-22, in Istanbul, exposing travel agents to the richness of travel in a country that is nearly as varied as its landscape. I’ll be there to help educate agents on how to better sell travel to Turkey and its many regions. But here’s a quick summary of what you should know about this beautiful and fascinating country. Turkey’s legacy of the Roman and Ottoman empires includes exquisite palaces, churches and mosques. Its cities brim with personality, exotic cuisine and ancient treasure. Istanbul alone is worth the trip, but there is so much more to see as well as something for everyone. Building trips around client interests can introduce new travelers to Turkey – and those trips can be easily built around four areas: architecture tours, faith or pilgrimage tours, culinary programs, shopping tours, agricultural tourism and soft adventure. Architecture: Istanbul has the famed Blue Mosque, so named for its interior walls with 20,000 blue tiles. There is also the lesser known but equally impressive Topkapi Palace, home to the Ottoman sultans for 400 years. Also in Istanbul is Hagia Sophia, a former church and mosque that is now a museum. The building was built in a short five years, from 532 to 537 A.D., and is on par with the grandeur of St. Paul’s in London, but built 1,000 years earlier. Dedicated architecture buffs also will want to get to Gaziantep to see the recently rediscovered mosaics on display there and visit Trabzon in the north along the Black Sea.

  • Three Trabzon Tales by ADAM SMITH ALBION
    Three Trabzon Tales BY ADAM SMITH ALBION TRABZON, Turkey 17 October 1995 ALI, THE DRONE It all began one summer evening. Trabzon was shutting up shop for the day. From my balcony I could see the shutters being drawn down, crates of oranges stacked, fish-carts trundled away, and the whole class of esnaf Turkey's industrious, busy-bee middle stra- tum packing up to pray at mosque and go home. The evening call to prayer had already echoed around the city. The muezzins' voices are artificially pumped up though loudspeakers and ring at ear- splitting volume through this conservative, religious, moral town. As everyone knows, decibels are the proper measure of faith, and the amplifiers attached to the minarets have been turned up since the Is- lamist Welfare Party took control of Trabzon's town hall. Soaring above the din are the Pontic Mountains, emerald-green and lush. They looked grand with the sun, aloft but losing altitude fast, crash- ing down on them. Glinting at their feet, the Black Sea was changing in the light into a somber, impossibly vast zinc disk when the tele- phone rang. wished it would stop but it didn't so dragged myself indoors off the balcony and answered it.

  • Black Sea Coast--Trabzon
    NOT FOR PUBLICATION ASA-3 WITHOUT WRITER'S CONSENT INSTITUTE OF CURRENT WORLD AFFAIRS Trabzon, 7 December 1994 Mr Peter Bird Martin, Executive Director Institute of Current World Affairs 4 West Wheelock Street Hanover, NH 03755 USA Black Sea Coast-, Trabzon: football, hamsi I set up shop last month in Trabzon, a port on Turkey's far north-eastern coast, to get a first- hand look at how Soviet disintegration has affected a Turkish town. Trabzon (population about 250,000) is a 90-minute flight from Istanbul and a 3-hour drive (198 km) from the Georgian border. It is a long, skinny town squeezed along the coast by mountains which are strikingly green and usually covered in mist. It rains very often. Because of these conditions and the dramatic green I have heard this part of the coastline referred to as Turkey's Shangri-La and I like to repeat it. Tea and hazelnuts are grown on the slopes since the climate is more humid as a rule than one might expect. A few of the peaks are snow- capped now because 18 inches of snow fell last week, a freak fall such as has not happened in a decade. The sea is fiat and grey as gun-metal with a sharp wind coming off it. As a result I am always cold but the truth is that after the hot summer in Istanbul I rather like it. I remember the end of Brave New World when the Controller gives the rebel Helmholtz a choice of exile in the Falklands or Samoa, and he chooses the Falklands because he thought the cooler weather would focus his mind.

I am not referring to the ecclesiastical procedures, but the personal, the individual attributes that qualify one as a saint. On the Sunday after Pentecost, we are called to give our attention to building up the Body of Christ – The Church by becoming “saints”! Responding to the interests of many people, the Rev. Fr. Jon Magoulias and I are blessed to announce that we are planning a pilgrimage from October 12 – 26, 2015 entitled: “Saints Alive”! This experience will take us to some of the most famous and revered sites of our Christian Orthodox Faith. It will enable us to learn the lives of saints who were people just like us and journeyed through life to give glory to God. We will visit Constantinople and the Ecumenical Patriarchate where the relics of many saints are venerated; we will travel to Trabzon (Trebizon) on the Black Sea (known as Pontus) to visit sites that have been only been opened to us in recent years. At Trabzon we will visit the famous monastery of Panaghia Soumela, along with other churches and museums. Today the monastery's primary function is as a tourist attraction. It overlooks forests and streams, making it extremely popular for its aesthetic attraction as well as for its cultural and religious significance. As of 2012, the Turkish government has been funding restoration work, and the monastery is enjoying a revival in pilgrimage from Greece, the USA and Russia.

Genqt *Technical University of the Black Sea, Department of Chemistry, Trabzon, Turkiye tTechnica1 University of the Black Sea, Department of Science Education, 61335 Akcaabat, Trabzon, Tiirkiye (Refereed) (Received September 16, 1996; in final form August 25, 1997) ABSTRACT Chemical and physical properties and strength development have been studied for six granulated steel furnace slags from the normal steelmaking process. This paper reports results of research performed to develop cement mixture proportions using these slags. The influence of slag proportions, specific surface, and water demand on compressive strength and bulk density of cement blends are presented in this paper. The different test results, which were compared with the Turkish Standards, in general, were found to be within the limits. 0 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd Introduction Reutilization of industrial by-products has been a thrust area of research, both ecologially and economically, in recent decades. The cementitious materials presently used for that purpose are silica fume, fly ash, and blast furnace slag (1). The use of iron blast furnace slag as a cementitious material has been practised in Europe since the late 1800s. It was not until World War II, when slag cement was used extensively as an energy saving measure, that its excellent performance and durability properties were fully appreciated.
