Comprehensive Inventory Assessment of Ardahan Municipality: Facilitating Sustainable Urban Development and Resource Management

Abstract 1

Ardahan inventory report provides a detailed assessment of the tangible and intangible assets within the jurisdiction of the Ardahan Municipality. The aim of the report is to evaluate the current state of the municipality’s resources, infrastructure, and services, serving as a foundation for strategic planning, policy-making, and sustainability initiatives. The inventory encompasses a wide range of sectors, including urban infrastructure, transportation networks, public buildings, cultural heritage sites, green spaces, and environmental resources. In addition, it incorporates a thorough evaluation of the municipality’s financial assets, human resources, and institutional capacities.Data were collected through a combination of field surveys, geospatial mapping, stakeholder consultations, and the analysis of municipal records. Key findings indicate a need for investment in critical infrastructure renewal, more efficient resource allocation, the integration of sustainable practices, and enhanced community engagement. Recommendations are provided to address issues such as energy efficiency, waste management, water conservation, and public transportation system improvements, fostering resilience against climate change impacts. It calls for a participatory approach involving local communities, businesses, and policymakers in the decision-making process. By documenting the current state of assets and highlighting areas for enhancement, the report serves as an instrumental tool for driving Ardahan’s sustainable development agenda forward.

The Role of Energy System Analysis and Modeling for Ships in Energy Transition Era

Abstract 2

The fight against global climate change continues at a great pace in the maritime sector, as in all sectors around the world. It adopted its first strategy for Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emission Reduction in the maritime sector, titled “The Initial International Maritime Organization (IMO) Strategy on GHG emissions reduction from ships”, in the Maritime Environment Protection Committee (MEPC-72) in 2018. Today, reshaping our maritime transport and reducing GHG emissions Efforts to further tighten the rates determined to reduce the risk continue under the leadership of IMO. In this study, we will explain the importance of using the Reference Energy System (RES) concept and Decision Support Tools, which are widely used in the energy sector around the world, to see the applicability of the measures to be taken in the maritime sector in the coming years. In this context, RES of “An Oil Product Tanker Ship” is developed.
