Forest functions traditionally included wood production, protection and forest recreation. The twofold role of forests as both sources and sinks of greenhouse gases makes their influence on the climate extremely significant. This fact has led to climate chan…

This paper explores the possibilities of architectural design to benefit human condition, which encompasses physical environment of a safe life during the climate change era and predicted disasters. The first part deals with the problem of natural hazards and …

A universally applicable “optimal photobioreactor” design has yet to be established, as the success of such systems varies depending on the algal species used, environmental conditions, and intended applications. Meanwhile, the accelerating pace of climate cha…

This study investigates the heightened vulnerability of children residing in disaster-prone informal settlements in the southwestern coastal city of Khulna, Bangladesh. The study focuses on both social and physical factors contributing to children's vulnerabil…

This study presents a Hybrid Digital-Physical Risk Management Framework designed to enhance urban climate resilience through the integration of Industry 4.0 technologies. By combining real-time IoT sensor networks, AI-based predictive analytics, and blockchain…

This study proposes a climate-adaptive framework for modular micro-living units as a construction-based response to growing urban challenges related to climate resilience, densification, and housing affordability. The design integrates prefabricated cross-lami…

Microalgae are recognized as environmentally sustainable and biologically renewable resources for the production of high-value products such as biomass, biofuels, dietary supplements, and pharmaceuticals. However, their large-scale cultivation is highly sensit…

Courtyards hold significant functional value in both traditional and contemporary architecture. They serve as open-air spaces that facilitate social interaction for users within urban environments. In order for these spaces to be utilized more efficiently by u…

Tüm dünyada özellikle de kent merkezlerinde yaşayan insan nüfusu her geçen gün artmaktadır. Nüfus artışına bağlı olarak sosyal, ekonomik ve çevre sorunlarını da her geçen gün artmaktadır. Günümüzde kent merkezlerinde görülen en önemli çevre sorunlarından biri …

Dünya genelindeki şehirler, kentsel peyzajları ve yaşam kalitesini iyileştirmek amacıyla farklı yeşil alan stratejilerini benimseyerek dirençli, sürdürülebilir ve adil bir şehir modeli oluşturma çabasındadır. New York, Londra, Viyana ve İstanbul gibi büyük met…

This study emphasizes the significance of integrating Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), a systematic method used to evaluate the environmental impacts of a process throughout its entire life cycle, as a vital tool for cultural heritage conservation in Türkiye. The …

Urban open green areas are common areas of cities, breathtaking areas where people perform all kinds of recreational activities. They are located in the city or in the vicinity of the city and create a space phenomenon in the city openings that contain live la…

The continuity of life and the development of civilization are directly related to the correct and careful use of resources in the world. The 19th and 20th centuries are the centuries which involve greatest changes in the history of mankind. The industrial era…

Hydrological drought is one of the most essential natural hazards attributing water scarcity and its global impact increases due to the climate change. In particular, the usage of climate models and rainfall-runoff models for projecting the severity of future …

The effects of climate change in the world are observed to have significant effects on different environmental variables. Therefore, changes in climate parameters should be examined and analyzed. These changes can be determined by parametric and non-parametr…

Climate change effects have been remarkably today; the determination of trends in temperatures, precipitation, stream flow, winds and evaporation has become considerable for the planning and management of water resources and engineering projects. Nowadays ther…

Cross-laminated timber (CLT) has gained prominence in the construction sector in recent years. In addition to eliminating most of the known disadvantages of wood, providing advantages such as earthquake resistance, lightness, fast application, etc.; its effect…

Leadership is to orient and promote individuals for a specific purpose. Transformational leadership is the one who initiates change that makes employees believe in innovation and change. The transformation of the transformative leader in the formation of inn…

Urban areas have less vegetation than natural environment that surround it. Differences between these types of areas affect climate, energy use, and habitat in cities. In urban areas, dark surfaces and reduced vegetation warm affect the air over urban areas, l…

Bu çalışma, afet risk algısının kırılgan gruplar üzerindeki belirleyici etkilerini irdeleyerek, toplumsal eşitsizliklerin afet yönetimi süreçlerindeki rolünü görünür kılmayı amaçlamaktadır. Nitel içerik analizine dayalı olarak yürütülen araştırmada, kadınlar, …
