Ecological Planning

Evidence is provided that many, if not most, small-scale hydrocarbon occurrences in the Bohemian Massif, both newly described and already known, are in fact concentrated within five distinct north-south zones, 20-40 km wide, which cut various geological units. These linear structures provided long-lived and periodically reactivated conduits for various geofluids that include, apart from hydrocarbons, thermal and mineral waters, warm brines, uranium-bearing hydrothermal solutions, CO 2 , CH 4 , and He. Geological and geochemical data suggest repeated episodes of fluid and hydrocarbon migration throughout the geological history of the linear zones. A number of local present-day gas emissions and small oil seeps are probably indicative of the most recent migration stage that has resumed in the Tertiary period, following the Alpine orogeny. In some localities, the present-day peaks of CO 2 , CH 4 and C 2 -C 12 hydrocarbon emissions mirror major earthquakes that occur elsewhere in the so...

The Regional Urban Development Plan (UDRP) for the Araucanía Region was prepared using methods taken from ecology-based physical planning and from the integrated analysis of natural systems. In this way, a series of processes for aggregation, extraction, map algebra and logic operators was produced, making the best use of the analytical potential of ArcView(c) and its Spatial Analyst extension, in order to develop a GIS model to determine the optimum multi-purpose use of the territory, which was the basis used for the proposed zoning of this regional planning instrument

Özet -Yeşil Kuşak çalışmaları tarihi süreç içerisinde birçok kent planlamasında uygulanmaya çalışılmıştır. Kuşaklar içerisinde tarım, hayvancılık, sosyal aktiviteler, spor, bulaşıcı hastalıklardan korunma amaçlı uygulamalar bulunmuştur. Değişen sosyal yapı ve büyüyen kentlerin getirdiği sorunsallar nedeniyle yeşil kuşakların fonksiyonlarının değişimine neden olmuştur. Kent çeperlerinde planlanan yeşil kuşaklar yerine kent merkezinde yer alan yeşil alanları birbirine bağlayan yeşil kamalar bütünleşik sistem içerisinde yeşil yolar ile yeşil kuşaklara bağlanmıştır. Kentsel büyümeyi kontrol altına alan, ekolojik ve ekonomik birçok işlevi olan yeşil kuşak çalışmasına birkaç büyükşehir örneği dışında Türkiye'de konu ile ilgili çalışma ve uygulama yapılmamıştır. Makaledeki analiz çalışmalarında 1/100.000 ölçekli Balıkesir /Çanakkale Çevre Düzeni Planı, Biga İlçesi 1/5000 ölçekli Nazım İmar Planı, jeoloji paftası, ilçe nüfusu, iklim, toprak sınıfları, akarsu ve taşkın kontrolü, rüzgâr erozyonu, su erozyonu, ulaşım, hidroloji ve ağaç varlığı verisi kullanılmıştır. Yöntemlerin ölçüt ağırlıklarına bağlı olarak veri setleri sınıflandırması yapılmıştır. Bu çalışmada; Peyzaj Planlamada kullanılan 5 farklı yönteme (Gestalt, Angus Hills, Philip Lewis, McHarg ve Golony) göre Çanakkale-Biga İlçesi için grid sistemine göre yeşil kuşak uygunluk analizi yapılmıştır. Tüm yöntemlerin uygulanması sonucunda yeşil kuşak uygunluğu sadece 3 grid içerisinde olduğu saptanmıştır. Biga ilçesinin potansiyel sanayi varlığı kente göçü tetiklemektedir. Nüfus artışı kentsel büyümeye ve yeni konut arzlarına neden olacağı öngörülmektedir. 1/100.000 çevre düzeni planında planlanan Tekirdağ-Çanakkale-Bandırma demiryolunun uygulanmasıyla yük ve yolcu hareketleri bölgedeki antropojen baskıyı arttıracaktır. Sonuç olarak, sanayi gelişimi ve kentsel büyüme potansiyeli olan Biga ilçesinin hassas ekolojik ölçümlü, sosyo-ekonomik ve katılımcı yaklaşımlı geniş kapsamlı yeşil kuşak planlama çalışmasına ihtiyaç vardır.

This article claims Beatrix Potter, author of the children's classic The Tale of Peter Rabbit (1902), is a woman writer of and for rural modernity whose complex relations to rural and urban places, national and regional identities, fine and commercial arts, raise important questions about the gendering of green places, landscapes, and geographies in constructions of canonical modernism and children's literature. Analysing research by biographers, rural historians, geographers, art historians, and critics of modernist and children's literature, it argues that Potter's acute measurement of the commercial possibilities that lay in the divide between rural real and rural ideal made her one of the most successful women writers of her generation and contributed to the early achievement of classic status of her twenty-three animal Tales (1902-1918). Enlisting close readings of Potter's words and images in her Tales for an interdisciplinary feminist literary-geographical project, the article situates Beatrix Potter at the centre of studies of rural modernity and rural modernity at the centre of early twentieth-century women's writing.

Aims and measures in landscape planning often align with aims for positive health outcomes, even if these are not explicitly mentioned in the planning documents. This chapter examines whether, and if so how, health issues are already being tackled in formal and informal landscape planning instruments in Germany and the UK at present and how this could be enhanced in the future. Thus, the focus is on planning issues, practice and methods. In addition, health-promoting features of green spaces, regarding both single green spaces and entire green space systems, are considered, as well as a method for planning greenway systems for daily physical mobility. Addressing health issues in landscape planning is a necessary part of sustainable planning in order to be able to cope with future developments, such as increasing climate change impacts and accelerating societal changes. For this reason, interdisciplinary corporation between landscape planning and the health sector should be strengthened. Highlights Integrating health issues into landscape planning holds manifold benefits for both sides. • Potentials to include health issues in landscape planning are not yet fully used. • Considering human health in landscape planning can be done in different ways and with different intensities.

CULTURAL HERITAGE IN RURAL AREAS (ACTIVE LANDSCAPES: IMAGES OF THE RURAL ENVIRONMENT IN SOUTHERN EUROPE)
Rural cultural heritage is an invention formulated from within urban culture. For a long time, the challenges associated with heritage located in rural areas have been addressed from an urban perspective, which established a sharp division between the urban system and the rural environment. The former was associated with evolution and progress, while the latter was seen as a remnant of traditions that were increasingly marginalized. However, in the Western world, the cultural differences between urban and rural societies have diminished or, in many cases, have even been erased: today, it is understood that there is, rather, a continuum between these two spheres. This has led to a gradual fading of that condescending view toward the rural world. On the contrary, nowadays we are witnessing a profound reformulation of the relationships between urban and rural domains, largely as a result of a desire for recognition and identification with the latent or present values of place—that is, a rediscovery or a renewed willingness to reconnect with place. Thus, in the rural world, new forms of social organization emerge that project these new values onto rural spaces and their heritage—values that stem from the search for more harmonious relationships between individuals and themselves, and with nature, marked by the emergence of a renewed “neo-ruralism.” Conversely, on the other side of this situation, we observe how the city expands into rural territory through sprawling cities, metropolitan areas, metacities, or even “metapolises” that surpass the metropolitan scale and, while absorbing and transforming the rural environment, require heritage to articulate symbolic and identity references within this magmatic and diffuse urbanized territory. In this text, we propose an open reflection on these contrasting perspectives that unfold over the rural universe and outline some of the crossroads in which we believe rural cultural heritage currently finds itself. We conclude this discussion by affirming the importance of territorial processes and dynamics for the present and future of cultural heritage situated in rural areas.


EL PATRIMONIO CULTURAL EN EL MEDIO RURAL. (PAISAJES ACTIVOS: IMÁGENES DEL MEDIO RURAL DE LA EUROPA MERIDIONAL)
El patrimonio cultural rural es una invención formulada desde la cultura urbana. Durante mucho tiempo, los problemas del patrimonio ubicado en el medio rural se han afrontado desde una mirada urbana que establecía una división tajante entre el sistema urbano y el medio rural. El primero se asociaba a la evolución y el progreso, mientras que el segundo se veía como un residuo de tradiciones que resultaban cada vez más arrinconadas. Pero en el mundo occidental se han atenuado o incluso en muchos casos se han llegado a borrar las diferencias culturales entre la sociedad urbana y la sociedad rural: hoy se entiende que hay más bien un continuum entre ambos universos. Esto ha llevado a un progresivo desvanecimiento de esa mirada condescendiente hacia el mundo rural. Por el contrario, en nuestros días observamos cómo se asiste a una profunda reformulación de las relaciones entre los ámbitos urbano y rural producto en gran medida de un deseo de reconocimiento e identificación de los valores latentes o presentes en el lugar, esto es, de un redescubrimiento o una voluntad de reencuentro con el lugar. Así, en el mundo rural aparecen nuevas formas de organización social que proyectan estos nuevos valores sobre estos espacios rurales y su patrimonio, valores que resultan de la búsqueda de unas relaciones más armónicas del individuo consigo mismo y con la naturaleza, con la emergencia de un renovado “neorruralismo”. Y, por otra parte, en el reverso de esta situación, vemos cómo la ciudad se expande en el territorio rural a través de ciudades expansivas, áreas metropolitanas, metaciudades, o incluso “metápolis” que llegan a sobrepasar la escala metropolitana y que, a la vez que absorben y transforman el medio rural, necesitan del patrimonio para articular referentes simbólicos e identitarios en ese territorio urbanizado de modo magmático y difuso. En este texto planteamos una reflexión abierta sobre esas miradas contrastadas que se despliegan sobre el universo rural y esbozamos algunas encrucijadas entre las que se pensamos se encuentra el patrimonio cultural situado en el medio rural, para finalizar este discurso con una constatación acerca de la importancia que asumen los procesos territoriales y las dinámicas para el presente y el futuro del patrimonio cultural situado en el medio rural.

Poets are the individuals who transform insignificance into significance. As a result, numerous hidden societal issues are depicted, while raising awareness of people. A case in point is the representation of queer and its intersections in poetry. Hence, this study aims to examine these queer and the respective intersections in the poems The Sweet Complaint by Federico García Lorca and The Mortician in San Francisco by Randall Mann. In order to gather data, a textual analysis was conducted, while paying attention to Judith Butler's gender performativity and Michael Foucault's repressive hypothesis and scientia sexualis. The preliminary results of the study show that heteronormativity, homoeroticism, homophobia, and queer gaze as the respective intersections of queer. In addition, it is evident that The Sweet Complaint as a poetic representation of heteronormativity since it can be analyzed, while employing Judith Butler's gender performativity and Michael Foucault's repressive hypothesis and scientia sexualis. Secondly, the poem The Mortician in San Francisco can be identified as a depiction of homophobia in the United States of America. Hence, it can be analyzed, while focusing on Michael Foucault's repressive hypothesis and scientia sexualis. Thus, this study highlights the role of the selected poems in representing the way poets deal with queer and its intersections.

Ruang terbuka hijau (RTH) adalah area atau sebuah kawasan yang hampir seluruh area merupakan vegetasi yang ditanami secara alami atau merupakan hasil pengusahaan manusia, yang dapat berupa sebuah lahan yang terbuka memanjang seperti jalur hijau jalan hingga dapat berupa kawasan yang terpusat seperti taman kota. Berdasarkan undang-undang nomor 26 tahun 2007 ditetapkan apabila luasan area ruang terbuka hijau publik di suatu kota minimal 20 persen dari luasan suatu kota. Kota Semarang dikenal menjadi kota dengan kegiatan mobilitas tinggi dan banyaknya kegiatan industri, hal tersebut menyebabkan Kota Semarang memiliki tingkat polusi yang sedang berkisar 93 AQI⁺ menurut data IQAir Kota Semarang, ditambah lagi dengan kurangnya RTH publik di Kota Semarang yang hanya berkisar 3,97% dari luas keseluruhan Kota Semarang. Sehingga dibuatlah artikel ini untuk indentifikasi lahan kurang produktif di Kota Semarang yang dapat diubah menjadi ruang terbuka hijau.

This article explores Freud's original engagement with animal symbols, characters, and stories in his case studies ''Little Hans,'' ''The Rat Man,'' and ''The Wolf Man.'' Employing insights from animal studies, the article examines Freud's views on the human-animal continuum as well as the phenomena of anthropomorphism and zoomorphism, via which human characteristics are affixed to animals and animal characteristics to humans. Also examined is the symbolism surrounding the animals appearing in the fairy tales referenced by Freud's patients, including ''Little Red Riding Hood.'' We end by considering the contributions that Freud can make to the expanding field of animal studies.

The scarcity of open and green spaces, which should be an integral part of the urban fabric and urban planning, is not a big metropolitan city problem in Turkey anymore but is a challenging problem of even medium and small-sized cities, one of which is the Osmaniye city today. This study examined the neighborhood-level quantitative adequacy and accessibility of the current and future open and green spaces in Osmaniye city center. The analyses were performed using ArcGIS 10.0 software following the Spatial Plans Construction Regulation. Accordingly, it was found that there were 48 open and green spaces with an area of 278566.33 m 2 in the Osmaniye city center, which had 1.15 m 2 open and green spaces per person. It was concluded that no neighborhood had enough open and green space. Children playgrounds were the fewest open and green spaces in the research area, and more than half of Osmaniye city center lacked access to children playground. Therefore, suggestions were made to solve the open and green spaces' unavailability and access problems in neighborhoods considering the study results.

This chapter critically examines the application of the deconstructionist paradigm to political activism within the social sciences, focusing particularly on Judith Butler’s Gender Trouble. Through a detailed analysis of Butler’s arguments, the chapter argues that the work does not generate genuine knowledge but instead constructs an ethical-political program based on pseudoscientific foundations. Drawing parallels with the Soviet Union’s failed social experiments, the author highlights the dangers of large-scale ideological constructs detached from empirical reality. The chapter deconstructs Butler’s use of incest taboos, gender performativity, and psychoanalytic theory, contrasting them with the empirically supported Westermarck effect, which undermines the generative role of prohibitions posited by deconstructionists. Ultimately, the chapter suggests that Gender Trouble exemplifies a broader tendency within contemporary “Social Justice Theory” to politicize knowledge, replacing critical inquiry with circular reasoning and abstract notions of justice, thereby risking social fragmentation rather than progress.

The paper focuses on the issue of air pollution in the industrially important Most region in the 1960s. It analyses how society and government responded to increasing environmental degradation in the region within the evolving political and economic context by examining the media and changes in legislation. Inspired by Donald Worster's environmental history framework, the paper aims to illustrate the dynamic interplay between the expansion of industry, environmental concerns and policymaking during this crucial period. By investigating the nuances of media discourse and legislative reforms, it explores how air pollution was perceived and what actions were taken to tackle it in the region, contributing to a deeper understanding of the interconnections between society, state, and ecology in environmental contexts.

Satellite images serve as a major information source when extracting natural features in land-scape-ecological research. The application of remote sensing and geographic information systems (GIS) in landscape planning provides to analyze the relations and interdependences of landscape features and factors and to examine land-use changes. The main objective of this research is to apply archive and modern satellite images and aerial photos in large-scale (1:10,000) landscape land-use planning. The chosen area, the land of the Town of Novi Iskur, Bulgaria, features high anthropogenization rate as a re-sult of the uranium-ore extraction and the open coal mining carried out on it in the second half of the 20 th century. For the study objectives, high-resolution aerial photos and satellite images from QuickBird and IKONOS satellites acquired accordingly in 1980, 2002, and 2008, were used. The employed meth-ods were object-oriented image analysis and classification and computer-aided visua...

The study of the problems of sustainable development of the ecological and urban planning system " population ↔ environment" of various levels of its functional and spatial integrity (local, regional, national, world-wide) reveals a number of fundamental provisions that establish the conceptual foundations of a new direction in urban planning science that potentially exists in certain individual works. The development of urban planning aspects of the stability theory is based on the fundamental concept of the physico-mathematical stability theory that is more developed at the present time and the research findings, which established the cyclical nature of the multilevel processes of wave development of the "population ↔ environment" system. The urban planning stability theory studies the nature of the vibrational development of urbanization processes accelerating in a multi-level ecological space. The paper reveals a number of similarities and fundamental differences in the states of stability and the dynamic pattern that are inherent in the development of living and inanimate natural systems. Regarding the differences in state of equilibrium: equilibrium is the goal of development for living systems within a certain cycle and the level of their spatial integrity. For inanimate systems equilibrium is the initial state. Concerning the differences in the stability of the location of the "center of mass": the "center of mass" should occupy the highest possible position (in the range of ecological equilibrium) for living systems; for the inanimate-to take the lowest possible position. When developing the urban develo-pment aspects of stability theory were used such concepts of physical and mathematical stability theory as: asymptotic stability; stability "in time" according to Lyapunov; stability "in space" ("stable -unstable node", "stable -nonstable focus ", "stable center"). Marked concepts are important for the analysis of multi-level processes of accelerating development of the ecological and urban planning system; forecasting the direction of its further changes; determination of focuses and parameters of application of urban planning regulatory influences; adapted sustainable development management.

An environmental/cultural proposal is presented, on a pedestrian route already defined between Nossa Senhora de Guadalupe and the Almendres Cromlech, covering a total of about 4 km on a dirt road. It is intended to provide information on environmental (flora, fauna and landscape) and cultural (megalithic monuments) aspects that are observed along the walk. The end of the route coincides with the Almendres Cromlech, in Alto das Pedras Talhas, discovered in 1964 by archaeologist Henrique Leonor Pina, when he was carrying out the activities for the preparation of the Geological Map of Portugal.

This paper presents a case study conducted at a food supply centre in a shopping centre in São Paulo city, Brazil. A waste digester was developed based on specifications provided by GE for the generator, and the cost of electricity production from food waste generated in the region was subsequently assessed. Results show that 1,368,750 m 3 biogas was produced for the year, which provided a reduction of 14% of electricity consumption and is equivalent to USD 854 thousand per year. The amount of carbon credits is equivalent to 10,775 metric tons of CO 2 and 51,840 tons of organic waste humus per year. The energy produced by biogas from food waste had a unit cost of 0.10 USD/kWh. At the end of the project, a profit of USD 3.087 million was achieved, which is equivalent to an ROI of 433%. There is a reduction in energy costs by USD 854 thousand per year and a payback of 1.01 years. These indicate that biogas production from food waste is economically viable.

Apresenta-se uma proposta ambiental/cultural, num percurso pedestre já definido entre Nossa Senhora de Guadalupe e o Cromeleque dos Almendres, percorrendo no total cerca de 4 km em estrada de terra batida. Pretende-se fornecer informações sobre aspetos ambientais (flora, fauna e paisagem) e culturais (monumentos megalíticos) que se observa ao longo da caminhada. O final do percurso coincide com o Cromeleque dos Almendres, no Alto das Pedras Talhas descoberto, em 1964, pelo arqueólogo Henrique Leonor Pina, quando efetuava as atividades para a elaboração da Carta Geológica de Portugal.

1. During recent decades, the ecological corridor has become a popular concept among ecologists, politicians and nature conservationists. However, it has been criticized from a scientific point of view. In this paper we question why this concept has been accepted so readily in policy and practice.
2. We present a conceptual framework to analyse the rise of the concept, especially in the Netherlands. We have studied the Dutch literature from the period 1980-2005, including the main ecological journal Landschap (Landscape), policy documents and reports from the leading Dutch policy-oriented ecology research centre.
3. Many actors, including politicians, stakeholders and scientists, were involved in the development of the ecological corridor and the related National Ecological Network on the national and regional level. The involvement of these actors changed the character of the concept into the multifunctional ‘robust corridor’.
4. The ecological corridor was probably so influential because its vague and flexible character facilitated the coming together of various stakeholders and scientists. It also functions as a metaphor, applicable to well-known entities such as construction and transport. Finally, scientists from the policy-oriented research centre were able to link the concept to fundamental science, policy and practice. In some stages of the policy-defining process, however, conflicts arose between the proponents of scientific soundness and those of social robustness that reduced the role of scientists.
5. Synthesis and applications. To make ecological concepts both scientifically sound and socially robust, several changes must take place in current interactions between ecology and society. Firstly, during concept development it requires the existence of extensive, largely interactive peer groups with clearly defined relationships between scientists and non-scientists. Secondly, the concepts should be flexible and relatable to relevant knowledge, insights, values and practices. Thirdly, several feedback loops between science and non-science should be set up during the various stages of concept development and implementation.

Ankara şehir florası, 1144 takson ve % 15 oranındaki endemik bitkileri ile zengin bir floraya sahiptir. İran-Turan Fitocoğrafik Bölgesindeki şehir, doğal olarak çevresindeki step florasından büyük ölçüde etkilenmiştir. Bu çalışmada, Ankara ili dahilinde yapılan floristik araştırmalar çeşitli parametreler bakımından, yerleşim alanıyla kıyaslanarak doğal ve doğal olmayan alanların ne ölçüde benzerlik veya farklılık gösterdiği açıklanmaya çalışılmıştır. Ankara ilinde 1960'lı yıllardan bu yana çoğunluğu step alanlarında gerçekleştirilen 28 adet floristik ve fitososyolojik araştırma ele alınmıştır. Bu çalışmaların takson düzeyinde benzerlik oranları saptanmış ve küme analizi yapılarak değerlendirilmiştir. Değerlendirmeler sonucunda yerleşim alanı ve çevresindeki floranın 2389 taksondan oluştuğu saptanmıştır.

Following François Laruelle, this article deals with anon-philosophical treatment of queer ecological thought. Rethinking queerness, animality, environment, and queer animality on these grounds requiresaradical change in the framework approaching these questions. The non-philosophical treatment performsas terilization of ap articular structure of queer ecological thought identified as queertopia. Non-philosophy presumes unidirectionality of the radically immanent One, leading to the notion of radical wilderness. The non-philosophical One is also radically undecidable, unidirectionallym oving thought-practice of queer ecologyand queer animals into radicalwilderness, where thea-sexed non-animals become figures of degrowth of queer ecological thought and collapse of the queertopia.

The Regional Urban Development Plan (UDRP) for the Araucanía Region was prepared using methods taken from ecology-based physical planning and from the integrated analysis of natural systems. In this way, a series of processes for aggregation, extraction, map algebra and logic operators was produced, making the best use of the analytical potential of ArcView(c) and its Spatial Analyst extension, in order to develop a GIS model to determine the optimum multi-purpose use of the territory, which was the basis used for the proposed zoning of this regional planning instrument

Endemik bitkiler, kırsal kalkınmada ve ülkenin biyolojik kaynaklarının ekonomiye katılmasında önemli bir üstünlük noktası oluşturmaktadır. Türkiye'nin bitki örtüsü varlığı ve çeşitliliğini gösteren en önemli unsur endemikliktir.

Although many factors are effective in the formation of closed basin lakes in the world, landforms, land structure and climate factor are the the leading effective factors. Particularly, the semi-arid closed basin areas located in the inner parts of the middle beltlands are lower than their close surroundings, so their winter temperature averages are higher. The places in question have been sheltered places against cold air masses in the winter months due to both of the lakes in these areas and the surrounding mountains. For these reasons, those areas have been the most preferred areas throughout history. Closed basin areas in Turkey have been places where population is higher than their immediate surroundings since ancient historical times. Van Lake basin, is one of the oldest settlements in human history. The basin has been the cradle of many civilizations from the past to the present. One of these civilizations is the Urartians. Since the Urartians, the Lake Van basin has always been the preferred place compared to the immediate surroundings. As a matter of fact, Van, which is the largest city of the basin today, and its immediate surroundings hosted people from distantareas (for settlement purposes). The aim of this study is to examine the majör closed basins in the world in general and the Van Lake closed basin in particular. In addition, it is to reveal the course of lakes in these closed basins in human history and the effects of human factors on lake level changes. .

The aim of this study is to evaluation on a new road project for forest road projects on the computer environment. In this context, firstly coordinates were measured for road route on a sample terrain using with a total station. Digital terrain model was created on a computer software program using field data. Stages of forest road projecting were presented using with modules of NetCad/Netpro. Alternative road projects were compared on virtual environment, and the most suitable conditions of forest road design were determined. In the design of forest roads, smaller-scale maps were generated with remote sensing data or measuring land data instead of large-scale maps. Since NetCad based application shows better characteristics in terms of ease and accuracy in planning of forest road, it must use the module in NetPro.

This paper presents a case study conducted at a food supply centre in a shopping centre in São Paulo city, Brazil. A waste digester was developed based on specifications provided by GE for the generator, and the cost of electricity production from food waste generated in the region was subsequently assessed. Results show that 1,368,750 m 3 biogas was produced for the year, which provided a reduction of 14% of electricity consumption and is equivalent to USD 854 thousand per year. The amount of carbon credits is equivalent to 10,775 metric tons of CO 2 and 51,840 tons of organic waste humus per year. The energy produced by biogas from food waste had a unit cost of 0.10 USD/kWh. At the end of the project, a profit of USD 3.087 million was achieved, which is equivalent to an ROI of 433%. There is a reduction in energy costs by USD 854 thousand per year and a payback of 1.01 years. These indicate that biogas production from food waste is economically viable.

Perception of Nature in Instagram Narratives: Urban Plants

This paper examines aesthetic perceptions of ruderal plants, species that thrive in disturbed urban environments, by focusing on social media pages and comments where these plants are presented. Approximately one hundred Instagram accounts sharing urban plant photographs were scanned, focusing on their thematic content to understand users' motivations and environmental perceptions through their choice of account names, biographies, and hashtags used.
Although ruderal plants are integral living beings of the urban ecosystem, they are often presented as representations of an idealized "nature" where human influence is minimized or natural processes are emphasized. The aesthetic perception of plants is largely influenced by their environmental context and the dominant cultural narrative of "nature resisting the city." Plants are depicted as a symbol of "wild nature" against the orderly and man-made city.
The lack of knowledge about different plant species and the generalization of plants as "greenery" or "pieces of nature" creates the misconception that every species will behave in the same way. This situation underscores the importance of cognitive approaches in environmental aesthetics. Knowledge related to the relevant field directly affects aesthetic judgments towards living beings.
Another factor leading to misconception is the sharp distinction between city and nature, fundamentally based on the artificial and natural divide. Discourses often emphasize that plants are somehow a foreign entity "fighting" the city or "a force of nature." The glorification of fighting against the city can be associated with romantic narratives that emphasize people's anger towards the artificial and longing for an ideal nature.
From a scientific perspective, the growth of ruderal plants in disturbed lands is a result of their evolution. Urban ecosystems, with their relative scarcity of trees and harsh, dry climatic conditions, provide environments where such plants can grow. Plants have also integrated with water and sewage networks. Human activities such as mobility, trade, and landscaping practices have influenced these plants' dispersal mechanisms throughout history.
Emphasizing that destruction and death are part of vitality and necessary for continuity can be used to erode narratives of "balanced nature without humans." The fact that ruderal plants are part of the urban ecosystem, which harbors environments of disturbance, is important in this context.

In this study, we aim to delineate agricultural areas, conservation areas and urban
areas, in Kepez district, pivotal regions of Antalya province, with the LUCIS (Land-Use
Conflict Identification Strategy) model and to analyse the conflicts between them. Landuse conflict is determined by comparing the suitability level for each of the different landuse categories within a given land unit. For this purpose, a conflict model was created using raster and vector datasets of the region. The LUCIS model is a raster-based model developed using ArcGIS Model Builder and provides a method for analysing land use suitability and conflict. The model does not make predictions about future land use, but analyses which land in the region is suitable for urban development, which land should be set aside for soil conservation, and which land is suitable for agricultural production. In this thesis study conducted in Kepez district, LUCIS modelling was used to first determine the suitability and then the conflict areas in the agriculture, conservation and settlement categories in the region. According to the output results obtained from the study, it was determined that the high conflict areas within the district boundaries of 314.52 km2 were 20.12 km2 and these areas constituted 6.41% of the total district area. The lowest conflict areas in the region were determined as 73.37 km2 and these areas cover 23.37% of the total area. According to the results of the analysis, it was revealed that the high conflict areas in the study area are distributed in the northern part of the district and concentrated in the Varsak region. Başköy and its surroundings, which is in the northernmost part of the area and is more of a rural area, has the characteristics of a low conflict area. The moderate conflict areas identified in the analysis results are Gaziler, Çamlıca, Kirişçiler, north-west of Kızıllı Neighbourhood and the areas around Düden Stream. As a result of the study, it was revealed that there are significant risks in the conflict areas determined by the LUCIS model, especially in the medium degree areas, and that the works to be carried out in the region should be carefully planned within the framework of sustainable land management planning.
