Environmental damage occurring on individual, institutional, and societal levels is one of the major problems in the world and results from mostly unconscious human behavior. This damage poses serious threats to human health and other habitats. The aim of this study is to determine the level of environmental awareness of hotel and restaurant employees in the Amasra District of Bartin, Turkey. For this purpose, a descriptive survey method is used to measure 16 items with a 5-point Likert scale. Data are obtained from 200 employees in the hotels and restaurants as of 2015. The reliability coefficient is found to be 0.74. This data reveals that only 43% of hotels and 72% of restaurants in Amasra have recycling bins. Males and Bachelor's degree holders have more environmental awareness. Enterprises established after 2011 follow popular journals related to environment more than those before 2011. As a result, it is essential to organize educational meetings and seminars related to environmental awareness for hotel and restaurant employees in order to improve the tourism industry's environmental impact. The results show that the legislation has resulted in general environmental awareness and that the organizations are willing to change their business processes and environmental strategies. Nevertheless, despite their actions, there is little awareness of the benefits that can result from cost reductions resulting from environmentally friendly practices. Those affected by their suppliers act to reduce waste but do not deploy formal environmental management systems or use environmental messages to market their goods or services.

Çevre sorunları, günümüzün en önemli yaşamsal konuları arasında yer almaktadır. Özellikle Sanayi Devrimi sonrasında dünyanın ekolojik dengesi üzerine artan bilinçsiz antropojenik aktiviteler ulusal ve uluslararası anlamda birçok olumsuz sonucu beraberinde getirmektedir. Bu çerçevede, Türkiye'nin altıncı büyük göl havzası olan Burdur Gölü Havzası'nın ekolojisinin ve özellikle alanın endemik türü olan dik kuyruğun korunması amacıyla bu çalışmada, ulusal ve uluslararası literatüre ve ayrıca bölgedeki gözlemlere dayanarak havzayı etkileyen etmenler ve olası çözüm öneriler üzerinde durulmuştur.

The facts that a large part of Turkey is located on Anatolian earthquake fault and that many earthquakes have occurred in recent years have forced earthquake-resistant housing designs. The main objective is to ensure the safety of life by preventing structural migrations. In this study, the parts of house are conceptually designed against the collapse of the upper floor at the time of an earthquake and these design concepts are illustrated. The design concepts have been done by using the 3ds Max program. The most important point in these designs is that all the elements of space fix to wall and are functional. Thus, earthquake damages can be minimized. In addition, it is important that furniture used in the interior areas should be aesthetic and multifunctional. In conclusion, earthquakeresistant design is not only a static process, but also it is constantly evolving.

Dünyada hızlı gelişen kentleşme ve endüstrileşme ile bilinçsiz tarımsal uygulamalar sonucunda ciddi hava kirliliği problemleri ortaya çıkmıştır. Çeşitli endüstriyel kaynaklardan atmosfere verilen hava kirleticiler, başta insanlar olmak üzere bitkiler ve hayvanlar üzerinde önemli zararlara neden olmaktadır. Dolayısıyla bu çalışmada, başlıca hava kirleticilerine yer verilmiş ve bunların bitkiler üzerine etkileri incelenmiştir.
