Environmental deformations and changes put countries under socioeconomic stress at the global level and are, therefore, an essential topic of discussion. In this context, this paper analyzes the impact of financial development, tourism, and economic growth on three different environmental indicators using second-generation panel data techniques for the top ten tourism destinations. This study tests whether there is a U-shaped relationship between income and the load capacity factor and an inverse U-shaped link between carbon emissions, ecological footprint and income for the period 2004–2018. Despite the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) hypothesis, which is often analyzed in this context, this empirical analysis investigates a new one—that of the load capacity curve (LCC) hypothesis. The results of the study show that the LCC and EKC hypotheses are not valid. The long-run panel estimators also indicate that international tourist arrivals are a factor that improves environmental quality, while financial development reduces the load capacity factor. Based on the results, it is recommended to support eco-friendly tourism for sustainable development.

!! Turkey, which meets nearly 70 per cent of its energy demands with import, is facing the problems of energy security and current account deficit as a result of its dependence on foreign sources in terms of energy input. It is also known that Turkey is having environmental problems due to the increases in CO 2 emission. Considering these problems in Turkish economy, where energy input is commonly used, it is necessary to use energy sources efficiently and provide alternative energy sources. Due to the dependency of renewable sources on meteorological conditions (the absence of enough sun, wind, and water sources), the energy generation could not be provided efficiently and permanently from these sources. At this point, nuclear energy as an alternative energy source maintains its importance as a sustainable energy source that providing energy in 7 days and 24 hours. The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the nuclear energy subject within the context of negative public perceptions emerged after Chernobyl (1986) and Fukushima (2011) disasters and to investigate in the economic framework. !"!Quest created by the growing need for sustainable energy in Turkey has started to highlight the various renewable energy needs. This creates the need for nuclear energy of the first actors to trigger the global and technological development as well as establishing and operating direction of the well has now started to be observed to make a functional form that can spread the form of energy production. Nuclear power plants and power centers of the energy system could be used in our country to build off of existing nuclear power plants is clear that the most rational approach is no longer a hidden fact. Brought to life within the context of this reality constitutes the main subject of the Energy Policy and Public Perception survey creation in Turkey.As an alternative solution that can contribute to the current electricity generation of Turkey's energy needs, the basic aim of the research on nuclear energy in which there is a positive example on the world economic paradigm, social and political returns to be created in the public perception of environmentally compatible systems in nuclear power consumption reveal positive and negative and made public which is to contribute to the reduction of false cause of uncertain thoughts. With this conceptual idea of the benefits of nuclear power use is not only about the national doubts but also with their expectations and perceptions.Globalization in the area where the production of energy spending and economic competition with countries has been diligently calculated deficits and dependencies. It is able to show growth without getting stuck on the negative perception of Turkey will provide the benefits of nuclear energy policy? In this research, descriptive and explanatory methods were used to put forward the findings identified in this line of thinking. This paper is organized as follows. Section 2 gives an overview about the role and importance of nuclear power plants in the world...

Renewable energy sources have a large potential to contribute the sustainable development as environmentally and socioeconomically. However, the existing literature includes theoretical framework in general and there is a lack of both comprehensive theoretical and empirical framework on the relationship between sustainable development and RE technologies. This paper aims to theoretically synthesise the literature on renewable energy technologies and sustainable development for Turkey, and then classify the results by broad categories. After all, the present paper uses conceptual and quantitative analysis, which reviews each concept with conceptual framework and evaluates data with quantitative method. From this point of view, this paper attempts to make a contribution by developing a conceptual framework which allows a wide-ranging analysis of the impact of renewable energy on sustainability and which can be empirically applied to classify these benefits in Turkey.

The security of energy supply has become an important issue for energy-dependent countries due to increasing energy demand and energy input prices in recent years. Therefore, energy-dependent countries have developed energy safety strategies to reduce dependence. However, the environmental problems that occur because of the increase in energy consumption, countries had to adopt an economic development process, sustainable development strategies taking account of environmental factors together with economic growth. Thus, an energy input and optimal energy policies have become increasingly important. This paper investigates the real energy efficiency by decomposing the structural and production activities and energy consumption changes of MINT countries, namely, Mexico, Indonesia, Nigeria and Turkey for the period of 1990-2014 utilizing Logarithmic Average Division Index Method. The results show that Mexico uses energy more efficiently among the countries. Mexico is followed by Indonesia, Turkey and Nigeria, respectively.
