Kentsel yenileme, iyileştirme ve canlandırma yöntemleri kullanılarak uygulanan kentsel dönüşüm projeleri dünyada ve Türkiye’de hızla devam etmektedir. Bu projeler bir kent için yenilenme, canlanma ve prestij kazanma anlamları taşımakla birlikte beraberinde getirdiği çevresel yükler olumsuzluklar yaratabilmektedir. Çünkü kentsel dönüşüm uygulamaları...

Today, construction practices with potential damages to the environment are carried out uncontrollably to respond to the rapidly growing population needs. In the construction sector, which is one of the leading sectors closely following technological developments, steps must be taken to protect the world's ecologic balance. The goal of the professi...

The lean ideal is to deliver customer value without waste. Traditional sustainability outcomes, which are attributed to the pursuit of the lean ideal in construction projects, consisted of economic outcomes instead of environmental outcomes. This paper explores how lean design methods can reduce construction and demolition (C&D) waste and contribut...

Waste is one of the most pressing problems of the twenty-first century in Turkey and the world. The construction sector is an important part of this problem, since buildings generate significant amounts of waste during construction, usage and deconstruction/demolition phases. The longest phase in a building's lifespan is the period of its usage, wh...

It is thought that there is a low level of awareness of key competencies that drive material waste reduction at the construction stage of a project which has led to the low impact of waste minimization in the construction industry. This study, therefore, explores the key competencies for driving waste minimization at the construction stage of proje...

Renewable energy applications have increased in recent years. In this study, data on wind turbine projects in the United States were used for predictions such as global warming potential from repurposing decommissioned wind turbine rotor blades as orient strand board (OSB) by 2050. System boundaries and functional units were obtainedfromOSB extract...

Waste management practices are increasing in the world and in Turkey within the framework of sustainable campus approaches. Since waste management strategy is vital for the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), waste management practices are also carried out in Erciyes University (ERU) which has come to the fore in recent years in l...

Purpose There are significantly fewer women than men in managerial positions, mainly project management. This problem is noticeable in the construction and engineering sectors, traditionally male-dominated industries with leadership much dependent on masculine qualities. This study examines the obstacles to the career progression of professional fe...

The impacts of the construction sector are highly reflected in the transition and development of the society, environment, and economy. Economically, the construction industry has paved many ways with the creation of jobs and job opportunities and increased the gross domestic products (GDP) contributions. Socially, the advancement in technology and...

Enerji kaynaklarının ve ham madde rezervlerinin hızla azaldığı dikkate alınırsa bu alanda yaşanacak olası kısıtlar toplumların ekonomik koşullarını ve sosyal yaşamlarını olumsuz yönde etkileyebilecektir. Bu çalışma ile enerji ve ham madde korunumu açısından yapısal atıkların yeniden kullanım/geri dönüşüm potansiyeli vurgulanarak farkındalık yaratıl...

Purpose This study examines occupants' satisfaction with the indoor environmental quality (IEQ) of a green-certified building [The Green Star South Africa (SA) Building] in Ghana. Design/methodology/approach Views of 300 respondents are solicited on 15 IEQ (obtained through a critical review of the literature and complemented with a pilot intervie...

Waste is one of the main environmental problems of the twenty-first century. The construction industry plays a critical role in this problem. Reducing construction and demolition (C&D) waste to a minimum is crucial considering its negative impacts on nature, human health and economies. Determining designers' awareness levels about the fact that the...

In order to manage construction and demolition (C&D) waste, which is harmful to the natural environment and human health, legislation has been introduced throughout the world. In Turkey, the most comprehensive regulation that deals only with C&D waste management (WM), entered into force in 2004. However, changes in the construction sector from 2004...

Öz: Giriş: Yapı sektöründeki etkinlikler dünyada ve Türkiye'de hızla devam ederken, bu süreçlerin bir sonucu olarak yapısal atıklar oluşmaktadır. Binaların yapım, bakım/onarım ve yıkım faaliyetleri sonucu ortaya çıkan her türlü yapı ürününden kaynaklanan yapısal atıkların büyük hacimli olmaları birçok ülkede depolama alanla-rının kapasitelerini zor...

A major characteristic of most construction sites in Turkey is the presence of construction waste in various forms and large quantities. This waste has negative impacts on the efficiency of the construction industry, the country's economy at large and the environment. Thus, the reduction of construction waste has become a pressing issue. This paper...

C&D waste is generated during the construction, use and demolition phases of buildings. The environmental impacts due to the quantity and types of these wastes have reached dangerous dimensions. Systematic collection of these wastes is very important for the conservation of natural resources and reduction of pollution. For this purpose, a systemati...

Throughout the functional lifetime of a building (in situations where the need, user, function, regulations or likes change), what is expected of an architectural design is its ability to adapt to change. Adaptability to change is possible with the flexibility approach. While flexible design allows change, it is also beneficial for preventing/reduc...

The construction industry involves high risk-taking activities that result in cost overruns, low productivity, litigation, ineffective communication and construction delays. The introduction of collaboration into the construction industry has been frequently used as an innovative approach towards the achievement of quality in construction and as a...

The concept of construction and demolition (C&D) waste, which is generally defined as materials arising fro m excavation, construction, renovation/refurbishment, demolit ion and other construction-related activities, has received much attention from researchers worldwide since the beginning of the 70s. Although C&D waste management issues have been...

Epidemiological studies conducted in many parts of the world have shown that there are health issues associated with living in damp buildings. Dampness is a key building defect in Ghana. Despite the findings from such studies, very little is known about the threats posed by dampness to the health of occupants in Ghana. As a result, people are still...

As the most frequently reported cause of building defects, dampness has for many years received attention worldwide. It is a major problem associated with many buildings, and contributes more than 50% of all known building failures worldwide. In Ghana, dampness is a very common problem among many residential buildings. However, there is no detailed...

The contributions of sustainability to architectural designs are steadily increasing in parallel with developments in technology. Although sustainability seems to be a new concept in today's architecture, in reality, it is not. This is because, much of sustainable architectural design principles depend on references to vernacular architecture, and...

Dampness in buildings is a common problem in Ghana. A nationwide survey has estimated that one out of every ten residential buildings suffers from one form of dampness or the other. The possibility that damp housing conditions may affect the health of occupants, and in particular expose them to respiratory symptoms has been the attention of many cr...

Ait olduğu dönemin yerel, sosyo-kültürel ortamlarını yansıtan açılımları ile özel bir öneme sahip olan tarihi yapılar, kentlerin kimliğini oluĢturmaları açısından da önemli birikimlerdir. Tarihi yapıların doğal çevreleri ve özgün özellikleri ile birlikte korunması kentsel kimliğin korunmasına ve içinde bulundukları dokunun sürdürülebilirliğine katk...

1900’lerin basında yapılan ilk betonarme yapılardan bu yana Modern Mimarlıgın önemli isimleri betonu gerek tasıyıcı olarak gerekse bitirme malzemesi olarak kullanmıslardır. Modern çagın mimarları birçok uygulamalarında betonu kaplama malzemeleriyle örterek, gizleyerek degil masif ve yalın yüzey etkisi verecek biçimde “Brüt Beton” olarak kullanmayı...
