  • Giresun Ili Maden Ve Enerji Kaynaklari
    GİRESUN İLİ MADEN VE ENERJİ KAYNAKLARI Karadeniz Bölgesinin Doğu Karadeniz Bölümünde yer alan Giresun ili, doğusunda Trabzon ve Gümüşhane, batısında Ordu, güneyinde Sivas ve Erzincan, güneybatısında yine Sivas illeriyle komşu olup, kuzeyi Karadeniz ile kuşatılmıştır. Giresun ili kabaca Karagöl Dağı ile Tohumluk Beldesi arasında uzanan büyük tektonik hattın kuzeyi ve güneyinde birbirinden farklı istiflenme özelliklerine sahip iki tektonik ünite üzerinde bulunur. İlin kuzey kesimindeki en yaşlı kayalar Paleozoyik yaşlı metamorfik şistler ve Permiyen yaşlı mermerlerdir. Kuzey istifindeki intrüzif kayalarsa başlıca Kampaniyen-Eosen yaşlı granit ve diyoritlerden oluşur. Güney istifinin tabanını Permo-Triyas yaşlı metamorfik şistler oluşturur. Güney istifinde Üst Paleozoyik granitoyidleri ile Kampaniyen-Eosen yaşlı granit ve diyoritler yer alır. Bölge yoğun bir şekilde volkanizmanın etkisi altında kalmıştır. Bu volkanizmaya bağlı olarak VMS (Volkanik Masif Sülfid) olarak adlandırılan metalik maden yatakları oluşmuştur. İl ve çevresinde önemli metalik maden yatakları bulunmaktadır. Özellikle bakır-kurşun- çinko yatakları açısından oldukça zengin potansiyele sahip bir ilimizdir. İlin tüm ilçelerinde bakır- kurşun-çinko yatak ve zuhurlarına rastlamak mümkündür. Bunlardan en önemlileri Espiye, Tirebolu ve Şebinkarahisar ilçelerinde yer almaktadır. Espiye-Lahanos piritli bakır yatağında % 3.5 Cu ve % 2.38 Zn tenörlü bakır için 2.408.380 ton; çinko için de 2.312.000 ton görünür rezerv belirlenmiştir. Yatak özel sektör tarafından işletilmektedir. Ayrıca Espiye ilçesinin güneyinde eski işletme izleri olan çok sayıda zuhur bilinmektedir. Tirebolu ilçesindeki önemli bakır-kurşun-çinko yatakları ise Harkköy ve Köprübaşı piritli yataklarıdır. Harkköy bakır kurşun-çinko pirit sahasında % 0.96 Cu, % 0.94 Zn ve % 0.27 Pb tenörlü 6.213.958 ton rezerv belirlenmiş olup, yatakta özel sektör tarafından işletme hazırlıkları yapılmaktadır.

  • Geology of Tunceli - Bingöl Region of Eastern Turkey
    GEOLOGY OF TUNCELİ - BİNGÖL REGION OF EASTERN TURKEY F. A. AFSHAR Middle East Technical University, Ankara ABSTRACT. — This region is located in the Taurus orogenic belt of the highland district of Eastern Turkey. Lower Permian metasediments and Upper Permian suberystalline limestone are the oldest exposed formations of this region. Lower Cretaceous flysch overlies partly eroded Upper Permian limestone discordantly. The enormous thickness of flysch, tuffs, basaltic - andesitic flows, and limestones constitute deposits of Lower Cretaceous, Upper Cretaceous, and Lower Eocene; the deposits of each of these periods are separated from the others by an unconformity. Middle Eocene limestone is overlain discordantly by Lower Miocene marine limestone which grades upward into lignite-bearing marls of Middle Miocene and red beds of Upper Miocene. After Upper Miocene time, this region has been subjected to erosion and widespread extrusive igneous activities. During Permian this region was part of Tethys geosyncline; in Triassic-Jurassic times it was subjected to orogenesis, uplift and erosion, and from Lower Cretaceous until Middle Eocene it was part of an eugeosyncline. It was affected by Variscan, pre-Gosauan, Laramide, Pyrenean, and Attian orogenies. The entire sedimentary section above the basement complex is intensely folded, faulted, subjected to igneous intrusion, and during five orogenic episodes has been exposed and eroded. INTRODUCTION In the August of 1964 the Mineral Research and Exploration Institute of Turkey assigned the writer to undertake geologic study of the region which is the subject of discussion in this report. This region is located in the highland district of Eastern Turkey, extending from Karasu River in the north to Murat River in the south.

  • Traditional Honey Production and Bee Flora of Espiye, Turkey Mustafa
    Bangladesh J. Plant Taxon. 25(1): 79-91, 2018 (June) © 2018 Bangladesh Association of Plant Taxonomists TRADITIONAL HONEY PRODUCTION AND BEE FLORA OF ESPIYE, TURKEY 1 2 3 MUSTAFA KARAKÖSE, RIDVAN POLAT , M. OLIUR RAHMAN AND UĞUR ÇAKILCIOĞLU Giresun University, Espiye Vocational School, Giresun, Turkey Keywords: Bee flora; Honeybee; Espiye; Turkey. Abstract This paper presents potential honey bee plants in Espiye (Giresun) which can be considered as a guide for beekeepers and researchers. A total of 149 taxa belonging to 125 genara and 48 families were recorded as pollen and nectary sources for honey bee colonies at Espiye (Giresun) region. Among the recorded taxa 58 were Phanerophytes, 57 taxa Hemicryptophytes, 19 taxa Therophytes, 13 taxa Cryptophytes and 2 taxa Chamaephytes. Updated nomenclature along with the families, local names, life form, flowering period and ecological status have been furnished under 94 herbs, 28 shrubs and 27 trees. Introduction Turkey is one of the countries where the honey production is at the highest level in the World (Özturk and Erkan, 2010). In the recent past, the forest area in Turkey has increased from 20.2 million/ ha to 22.3 million/ha between 1973 and 2015 (OGM, 2013-2015). Very recently, the Forest General Directorate has started to implementing the honey action plan to promote honey production and contribute to rural development (OGM, 2013-2015). As part of the action plan, up to 356 honey forests have been established and now, Turkey is in the second row in the world’s honey production and beekeeping.Turkey produces 92% of the world’s pine honey, specifically in its West Mediterranean and South Aegean regions.

They have shown that humans will always be interested in dimension of faith, belief, and religion, and established that there is a crucial relationship between the holistic signification and the social institution. At the same time, they have laid out the various reasons why the religion is important for people, such as the way it enables a form of social solidarity among people to add meanings to human life and uncertainty (suffering, death, secret, and illness). For all human progress, the embodiments of religion and faith and the process of discovery are related to collective cultural structuring, social representation, and cultural function.(1) The purpose of anthropology is to investigate people, social relations, and social structure, so faith is one of the most fascinating subjects for anthropologists. Atay mentions that religious anthropology explores religiosity, religious motives and practices that have been formed to represent the way of life and culture rather than their religious contents and sacred/divine sources.(2) Therefore anthropologists have researched the dialectic relationship This is a revised edition of the paper presented as “Ocak in the Globalizing Alevism: An Anthropological Analysis on Dedelik-Seyitlik,” at the 1st International Symposium of Alevism from Past to Present, Bingöl University,Turkey, October 3-5, 2013.

  • Siirt Ili 2016 Yili Çevre Durum Raporu
    T.C. SİİRT VALİLİĞİ ÇEVRE VE ŞEHİRCİLİK İL MÜDÜRLÜĞÜ SİİRT İLİ 2016 YILI ÇEVRE DURUM RAPORU HAZIRLAYAN: SİİRT ÇEVRE VE ŞEHİRCİLİK İL MÜDÜRLÜĞÜ ÇED VE ÇEVRE İZİNLERİ ŞUBE MÜDÜRLÜĞÜ SİİRT - 2017 i ÖNSÖZ Çevre, canlıların yaşamları boyunca ilişkilerini sürdürdükleri ve karşılıklı etkileşimlerde bulundukları fiziki, biyolojik, sosyal ekonomik ve kültürel ortamı içine alan sistemler bütünüdür. Doğal ve yapay unsurların içinde barındığı, her türlü insan faaliyetinin fiziki yeri olan çevrede belli dengeler varlığını sürdürmektedir. Her şeyden önce bir sistem oluşturan çevrenin denge unsurlarının yitirilmesi, zararlı bozulmalara yol açmaktadır. Çevre kirliliğinin oluşmasında temel neden, doğanın, insan etkinlikleriyle ortaya çıkan artıkları kendiliğinden giderme yeteneğinin bozulmasıdır. Havaya, suya ve toprağa verilen atıklar doğanın kimyasal, biyolojik ve fiziksel özelliklerini bozmaktadır. Sanayileşmenin ve kentleşmenin bir sonucu olarak çıkan aşırı nüfus artışı ve göç, çevre sorunlarının oluşmasında önemli bir etken olarak görülmektedir. Aşırı nüfus artışı ve göç büyük bir tüketim ordusu halinde doğal kaynakları yok etmektedir. Hava kirliliği, barınma atık maddeler, düzensiz yapılaşma ve gürültü kirliliği diğer çevre sorunları arasındadır. Ülkemizin güneydoğusunda yer alan Siirt ili, 1990’lı yılların başından itibaren çeşitli nedenlerle köyden kente göçün ve aşırı nüfus artışının etkisiyle yukarıda anılan çevresel sorunları yaşamaya başlamıştır. Her ne kadar ilin sanayisi gelişmemişse de halkın bir kısmı, kamu görevi yürütmekle, diğer bir kısmı ise tarım ve hayvancılıkla uğraşmakla geçimini sağlamaktadır. Bu yaşanan bu aşırı nüfus artışının doğal sonucu olarak son yıllarda düzensiz yapılaşma, barınma atık maddeleri ve konutlardan kaynaklanan hava kirliliği ilin en önemli çevre sorunlarını oluşturmaktadır. İlde yürütülen çalışmalarla bu sorunların giderilmesine çalışılmaktadır. Hazırlanan bu rapor ilimizin çevre durumunu, çevresel sorunlarını ve bu sorunlara çözümler oluşturmak üzere yapılabilecekleri kapsamaktadır.
