Evaluation of Investment Alternatives With Analytical Network Process Method For A Sustainable Green Campus

Abstract

There are severe problems in Turkey due to reasons such as global warming and climate change. Although cities have specific needs in combating the harmful effects of climate change, and there is no single policy that will serve all purposes, it is possible with analytical methods that the measures to be taken are optimal under current conditions. Therefore, it is necessary to optimally evaluate various opportunities on limited resources to gain knowledge and experience applications through global networks. In the study, the current opportunities were evaluated, the adverse effects of global climate change brought about by urbanization were examined, alternative solutions were sought, and a model was proposed for critical decision problems with an analytical method. In the proposed solution model, investment alternatives for a project of this nature in Kırıkkale University Central Campus were evaluated in order to reduce the adverse effects of the society on the environment by implementing the sustainable green campus project, which includes all of the green roof, vertical garden, sustainable education, electric vehicles, and solar panels. Prioritization based on various criteria (installation costs, skilled labor costs, water efficiency, energy efficiency, time, carbon emissions, and oxygen production) for the realization of the projects was made with the Analytical Network Process (ANP) method. In the study, the Kırıkkale University campus was determined as the Vertical Garden Project, the first project envisaged to be implemented in the transition process to a sustainable green campus. It aimed to be a pioneer in green campus projects to be made in the future.
