The car tire waste have a tremendous adverse environmental impact in nature due to the large volumes generated worldwide, which requires multiple solutions that decrease as much as possible the tires disposed in landfills. Therefore, this research proposes to use part of the unused tire waste in a construction material, phosphate cement with ground rubber waste particles. For that, up to 12wt% of tire waste has been incorporated to cement. The samples characterization was conducted with scanning electron microscope; X-ray diffraction; compressive strength; thermal stability at 50 and 100°C; density; and Weibull statistics. Results show that this composite can be used as a building material therefore as an environmental solution for the rubber tire waste, mainly in applications requiring similar compressive strengths than concrete with ordinary Portland cement. Weibull statistics showed compression strength changing from 2.85 to 38.29 MPa, which is typical in construction materials and also it enables it to be used as building material. Density of samples was between 1.0 and 1.6 g/cm 3 , which open up applications for precast panels or other lightweight solutions.

“…A proposed SWOT analysis is presented in Table 4. SWOT is considered as a strategic analysis tool, which combines the strengths and weaknesses of an organization, process, area, etc., with the study of opportunities and threats in its environment (Symeonides et al, 2019). Even if a SWOT analysis is well structured, it is often subjective and it may be difficult to reach a consensus about its results (Fertel et al, 2013).…”

Europe is considered one of the most attractive and safe prevalent tourist destinations in the entire world. Approximately half (47.4%) of European tourist visits occurred in coastal regions, defined “on the basis of and consist of local administrative units or municipalities that border the sea, or have at least half of their total surface area within a distance of 10 km from the sea.” Destinations such as Malta, Greece, Cyprus, Spain and Croatia presented with an increased level of tourist accommodation establishments, as well as, the overall flow of tourism in the European Union is mostly concentrated on Mediterranean coastal regions (as nine out 10 tourists, in 2015, spent their holidays at coastal areas). This paper, is dealing with the assessment of a tourist area and how the concept of urban metabolism has been affected by touristic activities. Moreover, this research using several key performance indicators such as waste compositional analysis, the clean coast index, the accumulation rate, and accumulation index, etc., tries to measure the level of environmental performance, and furthermore, to assess the existing infrastructures and the waste management plan, that are being implemented. The results are very useful, for any policy-maker, as well as competent authorities and/or tourist organizations which are dealing with tourist activities and aim to propose or re-schedule any waste strategy targeting the goals of United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, European Green Deal, and the new circular economy strategy.

“…ÖTL'ler gelişi güzel depolanma durumunda sivrisinekler için bir üreme alanı sağlayarak sivrisinek kaynaklı hastalıkların yayılmasını kolaylaştırırken önemli miktarda hava kirliliği (yanma durumunda), toprak kirliliği ve son olarak, yüzey ve yeraltı suyu kirlenmesine neden olurlar. Lastikler yandığında, SOx, NOx, CO ve PAH'lar gibi önemli miktarda hava kirletici maddeleri ve As, Cd, Ni, Zn, Hg, Cr ve Va gibi ağır metaller ortaya çıkar [3,4]. Avrupa Birliğinde (AB) ÖTL yönetimi için çeşitli yasal mevzuatlar ve yönergeler incelendiğinde, ÖTL'lerin çöp alanlarında depolanması 2003 yılından itibaren yasaklanmış olup, 2006 yılına kadar boyutlarının azaltılarak depolanmasına izin verilmiş, 2006 yılından itibaren ise, ÖTL' lerin çöp toplama alanlarında depolanmasına hiçbir şekilde izin verilmemiştir.…”

Türkiye’de Ömrünü Tamamlamış Lastiklerin Yönetiminde En Uygun Bertaraf Seçeneğinin PROMETHEE Ve Bulanık PROMETHEE Yöntemi ile Belirlenmesi

Sürdürülebilir bir atık yönetim yaklaşımının ekonomik, sosyal ve çevresel unsurların tümüne hizmet edebilmesi gerekir. Bu çalışmada atık lastiklerin yönetiminde direkt geri dönüşüm, piroliz ve alternatif yakıt olarak değerlendirme alternatifleri değerlendirilmiştir. Sayılan bu alternatif metotlardan Türkiye için en uygun yöntem, çok kriterli karar verme süreci olan PROMETHEE (preference ranking organization method for enrichment evaluations) ve bulanık PROMETHEE yöntemi ile belirlenmiştir. En uygun alternatifin belirlenmesi için belirlenen 4 karar vericinin alternatif yöntemleri, çevresel etki, işletme riski, kurulum maliyeti, işletme maliyeti, elde edilen ürün çeşitliliği ve Türkiye'de uygulanabilirlik açısından değerlendirilmeleri istenmiştir. Karar vericilerin bu değerlendirme kriterlerine verdikleri cevaplar 5 noktalı karar ölçeği ve bulanık sayılar ile ifade edildikten sonra Visual PROMETHEE yazılımı ile çözümlenmiştir. Sonuçlara göre PROMETHEE ve bulanık PROMETHEE çözümlemeleri PROMETHEE I ve II analizleri dikkate alındığında alternatiflerin geri dönüşüm>alternatif yakıt olarak kullanım>piroliz şeklinde aynı tercih sıralamaları vermişlerdir, ancak PROMETHEE Rainbow analizinde alternatiflere etki eden pozitif ve negatif kriterlerde farklılıklar göstermiştir. Dilsel ifadelerin bulanık PROMETHEE ile daha hassas ifade edildiği düşünüldüğünden yukarıdaki analizlerine ek olarak GAIA görsel analizi ve GAIA web analizi gerçekleştirilmiştir. GAIA analizi ile, (i) geri dönüşüm alternatifinin çevresel etkiler, işletme riski, Türkiye'deki uygulanabilirliği ve işletme maliyeti açısından, (ii) piroliz alternatifinin ürün çeşitliliği açısından, (iii) alternatif yakıt olarak kullanma alternatifinin kurulum maliyeti açısından uygun olacağı belirlenmiştir. Sonuç olarak en uygun alternatifinin geri dönüşüm alternatifi olduğu ve bu alternatifinin tercih edilebilirliğinde sadece kurulum maliyeti kriterinin negatif yönde etki ettiği belirlenmiştir.
