“…Territorio y desarrollo son inseparables (Kates, Parris, & Leiserowitz, 2005), y su gestión plantea un desafío contemporáneo de alcance global (Acosta, Piedra, & Suárez, 2017). El Convenio sobre la Diversidad Biológica establece tres vastos y ambiciosos objetivos: la diversidad biológica de conservación, el uso sostenible de sus componentes, y la creación de propuestas que buscan la distribución justa y equitativa de los beneficios derivado del uso de los recursos del territorio (Balmford et al, 2005).…”

As global economy progress and world population increases, the effects of rapid industrialization and polluting activities of population is seen as depletion of natural resources and pollution of ecosystems. Thus, countries have come to a conclusion to implement sustainable development principles in their economic activities. Several international treaties have been signed and Turkey is a signatory of most of these treaties. In the study the necessity of the development of biotechnology sector is emphasized in order to achieve sustainable development objectives that have been recently recognized in Turkey. Antalya is chosen as the case because it is a developing city, with high immigration rate, rapid industrialization and mass tourism activities (approx. 11 million incoming tourists annually) which increases rapid consumption of natural resources in addition to increased environmental damage. Biotechnology industry offers cleaner solutions and applications for consumer demands. In the study, the potential and the necessity of forming a biotechnology cluster in Antalya is discussed. A SWOT analysis is included and the research is made through sectoral visits, conference calls and workshops as part of the field researches of West Mediterranean Development Agency.

“…Considerable efforts have been invested in several methodological challenges that range from trying to define sustainable development itself [1][2][3] to designing indicators that can be used to monitor it [4][5][6]. Many literature sources refer to sustainable development indicators at national levels [7,8], while only a few take a deeper look at the city level [9,10], and although they all recognize the role of sustainable mobility, this topic is mainly partially covered [9,11] over the dispersed contexts and approaches, while holistic and systematic overview is still missing.…”

Abstract:The role of sustainable mobility and its impact on society and the environment is evident and recognized worldwide. Nevertheless, although there is a growing number of measures and projects that deal with sustainable mobility issues, it is not so easy to compare their results and, so far, there is no globally applicable set of tools and indicators that ensure holistic evaluation and facilitate replicability of the best practices. In this paper, based on the extensive literature review, we give a systematic overview of relevant and scientifically sound indicators that cover different aspects of sustainable mobility that are applicable in different social and economic contexts around the world. Overall, 22 sustainable mobility indicators have been selected and an overview of the applied measures described across the literature review has been presented.
