AGU Fall Meeting 2023, California, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri, 3 - 24 Ocak 2024, ss.1, (Özet Bildiri)
Increasing
demand from population growth, industrialization, urbanization and changing living
standards are putting increasing pressure on the world's natural resources. With the
motivation caused by these pressures, Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have
been proposed. The
sustainability of water, energy, food and ecosystem plays a critical role in
achieving the SDGs. The ecological dimension was disregarded in early
integrated resource management techniques. Because assessing the value of
ecosystem services which are very important for scientists and policy makers is
a difficult task. However, the ecosystem is an important part of both the SDGs
and the nexus concept. Hence, it should be taken into account in nexus
assessments. It is a problem when four nexus components are managed separately
because there is a strong relationship between them. The aim of this study is
to evaluate the sustainability of Ecosystem through Nexus approach for 26
development regions in Turkiye. In the nexus assessment in Turkiye, the TOPSIS and
the Obstacle Degree Method was used to determine key obstacles to integrity of
the Ecosystem. By this study, supporting the
strategies in the fields of water, energy, food and ecosystem in Turkiye is
also aimed. Moreover, Spearman’s Rank Correlation was applied to identify
synergies and tradeoffs between indicators. It is an important part of study
because strategies can not be set just by looking at indicators that create
obstacles. Since the four nexus components are interrelated, the synergies and
tradeoffs between the indicators should also be considered.
