Yayın Pros and cons of using building information modeling in the AEC industry(ASCE-AMER Soc Civil Engineers, 2019-08-01) Seyis Kazazoğlu, SenemAlthough a plethora of studies on building information modeling (BIM) have been conducted in the last decade, none of the previous studies collate and/or prioritize the benefits, risks, and challenges of BIM based on the data collected from a comprehensive literature review and subject matter experts (SMEs). In order to allow architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) professionals and academics see the true potential of BIM in a wider context and help them understand its multiorganizational and multidisciplinary functions, there is an obvious necessity for identifying, classifying, and prioritizing the pros and cons of BIM; however, such a study is still currently absent in the AEC literature. The aim of this study is to identify, classify, and rank the pros and cons of BIM that address the benefits, challenges, and risks of BIM in the transition from computer-aided design (CAD). A literature review was performed and face-to-face semistructured interviews with SMEs on BIM were conducted for identification and classification purposes. A total of 41 types of benefits, 11 types of risks, and 13 types of challenges of BIM were identified via triangulation of literature review and face-to-face semistructured interviews with SMEs. The Delphi method was performed for prioritizing the benefits of BIM in terms of time, cost, and sustainability as well as the risks and challenges of BIM encountered in the transition process from CAD to BIM. The interrater agreement and significance-level statistics were performed to analyze and validate the consensus reached by the Delphi panel experts. This paper contributes to the existing body of knowledge on BIM by providing comprehensive identification and classification of the benefits, challenges, and risks of BIM, and prioritization of the benefits for BIM in terms of time, cost, and sustainability as well as the risks and challenges of BIM. The priority rankings of benefits, risks, and challenges of BIM ensure successful completion of projects and create additional value by allowing professionals to make well-informed decisions that support decreasing time and cost-related waste in the transition process from CAD to BIM.Yayın A practical multiple factor index model for shopping center investment decisions in İstanbul(Işık Üniversitesi, 2020-01-20) İlhan, Dursun Onur; Ferman, Ali Murat; Işık Üniversitesi, Sosyal Bilimler Enstitüsü, Çağdaş İşletme Yönetimi Doktora ProgramıIstanbul shopping center market is currently dealing with problems in the social and environmental spheres, in addition to its challenges at the commercial side. This thesis presents a genuine multi-factor evaluation model that can be used by all stakeholders of the market. While doing so, the model has its base on the paradigm of strong sustainability and the principles of sustainable development. First of all, an extensive literature review has been conducted in this respect. Accordingly, the model is built on Commercial, Social and Environmental Pillars and their industryrelated sub-factors (nine sub-factors that are corresponding to a total of twenty-six underlying headlines) are determined. Afterwards, an analytical hierarchy process (AHP) survey model has been developed based on these pillars, sub-factors and underlying headlines and it is performed face-to-face on the top decision-makers of twenty-one (out of twenty-five eligible entities that answered back) members of the Council of Shopping Centers Turkey (AYD) which have at least one self-developed Istanbul shopping center in their portfolio. Commercial Pillar has been selected by the decision-makers as the most important component with %58.1; while Social and Environmental pillars stayed behind with 22.8% and 19.1% respectively. Following this result, another primary research setup has been formulated in order to create a more objective ground. This time, a panel comprised of three experts working on the field of sustainability is assembled and individual structured face-to-face interviews which included two open-ended questions are conducted and recorded with each participant. As a result of the constructive insights that have been in line with the literature review, assigning ethical protection to the Social and Environmental Pillars of the model is deemed reasonable. This decision is also reflected in the visualization of the model. The model also offers an open source, practical Project Checklist. This thesis also acts as an overview of the foundations of sustainability, development of shopping centers, Istanbul’s urban development and its shopping center market.Yayın Observatory building design: A case study of DAG with infrastructure and facilities(SPIE, 2016-08-19) Şahmalı, Ali Erkan; Yeşilyaprak, Cahit; Yerli, Sinan Kaan; Keskin, OnurEastern Anatolian Observatory (DAG), will be built in one of the well-known mountain ridges of Erzurum, Turkey, at latitude of 39°46'50, longitude of 41°13'35 and an altitude of 3.151 meters. As well as erecting the largest telescope of Turkey, the DAG project aims to establish an observatory complex both small in size and functional enough to give service to all astronomy community. In this paper, the challenge is explained in details: geological and geographical limitations, environmental and meteorological constraints, engineering and structural considerations, energy efficiency and sustainability.Yayın Coordination in building an observatory: A case study of Eastern Anatolian Observatory (DAG)(SPIE-Int Soc Optical Engineering, 2018) Şahmalı, Ali Erkan; Yeşilyaprak, Cahit; Keskin, OnurEastern Anatolian Observatory (DAG) is designed to build on one of the summits of Palandoken Mountains in Erzurum, Turkey, at an altitude of 3,151 meters. The building is under construction since 2015 and expected to be completed in 2020. The building is designed as an integrated building, having operational departments, services, mechanical and electrical infrastructure for observations as well as cleaning and coating units, adjacent to the main observatory building. As one might expect this integration creates serious coordination problems between architect, engineers, telescope, enclosure, and cleaning & coating unit manufacturers. The construction progress of the investment is almost 20%. There are quite an amount of "lessons learned" in this period, and need to be developed by the parties, for their existing and future works. The building has so many challenges such as geological and geographical limitations, environmental and meteorological constraints, engineering and structural considerations, energy efficiency and sustainability, materials used and their performances at these limitations.Yayın Peer-mentoring among female biomedical engineering students can be extended to other engineering disciplines(2004-06) Demir, Sıddıka SemahatMentoring is significant personal and professional assistance given by a more experienced person to a less experienced person during a time of transition. Transitions from high school to university, from university to graduate school are difficult. Organizing and administering mentoring programs in schools or in professional societies provide good recruitment and retention of female students in engineering. Biomedical engineering (BME) is the engineering discipline that has the highest percentage of female degree recipients and tenure/tenure-track teaching faculty as seen presented in "ASEE Profiles of Engineering and Engineering Technology Colleges, 2001 Education. Engineering Education by the Numbers". Thus there is a great potential for female role models, mentors and mentees in BME. Recently, I have a developed a mentoring program for women at the Joint Graduate Biomedical Engineering Program of University of Memphis (UM) and University of Tennessee Health Science Center (UT). Currently our program focuses on peer-mentoring and community building. We follow the book "Giving Much/Gaining More: Mentoring for Success" by Dr. Wadsworth for our meetings and activities to provide a support and discussion group, and environment to women in their transition time of the BME graduate studies. Our future goal is to expand our mentoring program to female students in our engineering school since we believe that the women in BME are excellent role models, mentors and mentees to women in other engineering disciplines.Yayın Kuzey Kıbrıs’t a çevre bilinci(Doğuş Üniversitesi, 2000-01-01) Akış, SevginBu makalede 1994 yılında Kuzey Kıbrıs’ta yapılan çevreye karşı tutum anketinin sonuçları verilmektedir. Araştırmanın hipotezine göre çevre bilinci ile yaş, eğitim düzeyi, yerleşim alanı, yerli veya göçmen olma ve cinsiyet değişkenleri arasında ilişki vardır. Çevreci tutum ve davranışların göstergeleri olarak da çevreci örgütlere üye olma, alış-verişe giderken yanına kendi alış-veriş torbasını alma, çevre dostu aerosoller kullanma ve boş şişelerin yeniden değerlendirilmesi alınmıştır. Ancak değişkenler arasında çoğunlukla anlamlı ilişkiler bulunamadığından, öne sürülen hipotez tümüyle doğrulanamamıştır.Yayın An evaluation model based on sustainable development for the Istanbul shopping center market(Altınbaş Üniversitesi, 2019-12-31) İlhan, Dursun Onur; Ferman, Ali MuratIstanbul shopping center market is currently facing considerable internal and external socioeconomic challenges. After the recent shopping center investment rush, problems (not only in the commercial sphere, but also in social and environmental spheres) have become more visible. In this study, an evaluative multi factor model for the Istanbul market that is based on the principles of “sustainable development” has been put forward. After the identification of the three major pillars (i.e. Commercial, Social and Environmental Pillars), what they mean for the shopping center business and their industry-related sub-factors (three for each pillar, nine in total) through literature review, valuable primary data has been gathered from two sources. First source is the face-to-face surveys based on the analytical hierarchy process model (AHP) conducted with the top decision-makers of twenty-one out of twenty-five members of the Council of Shopping Centers – Turkey (AYD) which have at least one self-developed Istanbul shopping center. The pre-determined pillars and subfactors have been offered to AYD participants for pair-wise comparison and they strongly prioritized the Commercial Pillar (with 58.1%) above Social and Environmental Pillars. In the light of this outcome, a second primary research layer in the form of an expert panel to re-think the commercial stance of AYD participants is conducted. Accordingly, structured face-to-face interviews that contained two open-ended questions are realized with three sustainability experts. Their insights are in line with the findings of the literature review. This has led to assigning ethical protection to the Social and Environmental Pillars of the model against the risks created by the commercial practices.Yayın A framework study going toward green hospital(Sağlık Bakanlığı Sağlık Hizmetleri Genel Müdürlüğü, 2026-03-18) Bolhasani, Mobina; Çepni, SeldenEnvironmental pollution from hospitals and healthcare facilities has become a critical concern globally, leading to the introduction of the Green Hospital concept. These facilities aim to mitigate the harmful environmental impacts of healthcare activities by implementing sustainable practices, including energy conservation, hazardous waste management, and green purchasing. This study examines the existing challenges and progress toward achieving the benchmarks of a Green Hospital. A twophase research approach was employed: (1) a comprehensive review of existing literature, databases, and studies to define the standards for Green Hospitals, and (2) interviews and questionnaires to gather insights from healthcare professionals involved in green initiatives. Results indicate that frameworks such as Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) and ISO 14000 play pivotal roles in setting sustainability criteria, prioritizing energy efficiency, waste management, and environmentally friendly procurement practices. This research underscores the importance of these standards in guiding hospitals toward greener operations and highlights the ongoing need for innovation to ensure both environmental sustainability and improved public health outcomes.Yayın Economic dynamics of air pollution in Türkiye and Pakistan: an empirical assessment of the Environmental Kuznets Curve and pollution-led growth(IGI Global, 2026) Taşbaşı, Aslı; Akhtar, MahamTürkiye and Pakistan, despite differing levels of economic development, face similar macroeconomic challenges such as income inequality, inflation and debt. Both countries also experience environmental pressures from industrialization and rapid urbanization, with air pollution emerging as a critical concern affecting economic productivity and sustainable development. This study conducts a comparative analysis of air pollution in Türkiye and Pakistan from 1980 to 2023, using the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) bounds testing approach to examine the short and long run relationships between air pollution, urbanization, industrialization, energy consumption and macroeconomic policies. The analysis tests the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) for Türkiye and the pollution-led growth hypothesis for Pakistan. Findings reject the EKC for Türkiye but confirm pollution-led growth in Pakistan, offering insights for effective environmental regulation and sustainable development strategies.
