Bu çalışmada Türkiye’nin Kuzeydoğu Anadolu Bölgesi’nde yer alan Erzurum istasyonunda kuraklık analizi yapılması amaçlanmıştır. Kuraklık analizi yöntemi olarak Standartlaştırılmış Yağış Evapotranspirasyon İndeksi (SYEİ) ve Bütünleşik Kuraklık İndeksi (BKİ) kullanılmıştır. 1975-2008 hidrolojik yılları arasında analiz gerçekleştirilmiştir. Veri olarak aylık toplam yağış, aylık ortalama sıcaklık, aylık ortalama nispi nem, aylık toplam buharlaşma ve aylık toplam güneşlenme süresi kullanılmıştır. Analizler neticesinde istasyon ve çevresinde hem sulaklığın hem de kuraklığın görüldüğü ortaya çıkmıştır. 1, 3, 6, 12 ve 24-Aylık periyotlarda kuraklık incelenmiştir. Her periyot için kuraklık frekansı değerleri bulunmuştur. SYEİ ve BKİ değerleri grafik haline getirilmiştir. Mann-Kendall ve Sen’in eğim metodu, trend analizi yöntemleri olarak tercih edilmiştir. SYEİ değerlerinde istatistiksel anlamda kuraklığın arttığına dair kanıt bulunamazken, BKİ değerlerinde %99 önemlilik seviyesinde kuraklıkta artış tespit edilmiştir.

Drought is a climate phenomenon that can have serious consequences for all living things. The widespread occurrence of extreme drought and extreme precipitation conditions in recent years has increased the importance of drought studies. This study aims to conduct a comprehensive drought analysis using 11 meteorological parameters for the period 1970–2023 at Ardahan, Iğdır, and Kars meteorological stations in the region of Türkiye, which is located in the Northeast of the Aras Basin and known for its harsh winter conditions. Drought analysis was carried out with the Aggregate Drought Index (ADI) method and the effects of climate change on parameters such as temperature, precipitation, snow water equivalent (SWE), and streamflow in the region were analyzed. As a result of the study, with the use of ADI and IPTA methods, drought trends in Aras Basin, especially in the winter and summer seasons, were clearly seen. It can be said that near-normal conditions are experienced the most with a frequency of approximately 20%. In addition to the ADI analysis, Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI), Streamflow Drought Index (SDI), and Reconnaissance Drought Index (RDI) methods were also applied; however, it was observed that these indexes do not always show full agreement with the ADI and exhibit similar trends in some drought periods. These results show that choosing the right indexes is of great importance for drought analysis and that indexes suitable for regional climate characteristics will give more reliable results.

ObjectivesShared e-scooter service has been offered by various operators in T & uuml;rkiye since 2019. The use of private and shared e-scooters is increasing, especially in large cities. This raises social concerns about the dangers e-scooters pose regarding traffic safety and injuries requiring medical attention. This study aims to investigate the accidents related to e-scooters in T & uuml;rkiye to determine the contributing factors and accident characteristics.MethodsIn this study, accident reports (collision reports) for 780 e-scooter collisions that occurred in 2021 in T & uuml;rkiye were examined, and 771 accidents were included. Accident data were obtained from the Traffic Department of the Ministry of Interior, General Directorate of Security. Descriptive statistics of the factors affecting e-scooter accidents are presented to determine the relationship and differences; chi-square tests, independent samples t-tests, one-way analysis of variance, and binary logistic regression methods were used.ResultsMale e-scooter riders are involved in crashes and injured approximately 4 times more often than female riders. The average age for men injured in e-scooter accidents is 30.4, and the mean age for women is 27.2. For both males and females, most injuries occurred in the 15 to 20 age group. Riders under the age of 18 constitute a significant proportion of the accidents (32.5%). Most e-scooter accidents occur on Mondays and during the month of August. Most accidents occurred between 12:00 p.m. and 1:59 p.m. (15.7%) and between 4:00 p.m. and 5:59 p.m. (15.7%), mainly during the daytime. About half of the accidents occurred at intersections. In 10.5% of accidents, the accident occurred at a pedestrian crossing. Approximately one-fifth of the accidents involved falls, and the most common type of collision was a side collision (44.2%). The binary logistic regression model showed that multivehicle accidents occur more often at intersections and during busy traffic hours. Single-vehicle accidents are more common on concrete roads and stone block roads.ConclusionsDeaths and injuries caused by road traffic accidents are a public health problem in T & uuml;rkiye and constitute a significant health burden. If necessary precautions are not taken, this burden is likely to increase. We hope that the findings from this study will help reduce e-scooter accidents in T & uuml;rkiye.

Günümüzde kentler modern ekonominin güç merkezi olup, hızla nüfusları artmaktadır. Bu durum, trafik sıkışıklığı, gürültü ve hava kirliliği ve sonucunda kişilerin yaşam kalitesinin düşmesini beraberinde getirmektedir. Bu durum gözetilerek Avrupa kentlerinde yaşam kalitesini arttırmak için sürdürülebilir ve entegre planlama yaklaşımı benimsenmiştir. 2009 yılında ise Sürdürülebilir Kentsel Hareketlilik Planları (SUMP), yeni bir planlama yaklaşımı olarak sunulmuştur. Avrupa’da farklı ölçeklerde yaklaşık 1000 şehir, kendisine ait coğrafi özelliklere ve kendi özgünlüklerine uygun bir şekilde SUMP’a başlamış veya SUMP’lara benzer kapsamlı, çok modlu ulaşım planları geliştirmiştir. Türkiye’de yürürlükte bulunan tek SUMP, İstanbul Büyükşehir Belediyesi tarafından hazırlanan ve 2022 yılında yayımlanan “İstanbul Sürdürülebilir Kentsel Hareketlilik Planı’dır. Bu çalışmada Türkiye’deki yerel yönetimlerin SUMP yeterlilik durumları anket yoluyla analiz edilmiş ve bir yeterlilik haritası oluşturulmuştur. Ana bulgu olarak; yerel yönetimlerin SUMP konusunda bilgi ve kapasitelerinin henüz istenen düzeyde olmadığı ortaya çıkmış, bu durumun iyileştirilmesi için öneriler geliştirilmiştir.
