    How To Exploit Sustainable Food Consumption Habits of Individuals: Evidence From a Household Survey in Izmir, Turkiye
    (Mdpi, 2023) Biresselioğlu, Mehmet Efe; Kentmen Çin, Çiğdem; Demir, Muhittin Hakan; Savaş, Zehra Funda; Solak, Berfu; Önder, Burçin; Çınar, Gözde; Özcureci, Berker
    Sustainable production and consumption in the food supply chain are critical for the United Nations' sustainable development goals (SDGs). Therefore, it is significant to identify the factors that shape individuals' food consumption behaviour. Turkiye prioritises sustainable food consumption and the prevention of food loss and waste as a national focus. Accordingly, this study aims to identify the drivers of individuals' food consumption habits in Turkiye through a survey with the participants being households in Izmir, the third most populous city in Turkiye. More specifically, the study has two main objectives: (i) to identify the factors influencing households' food consumption preferences and (ii) to demonstrate how the factors concerning sustainable food consumption interact through a survey conducted in Izmir. Based on the state-of-art literature, an online survey was completed by 515 respondents in Izmir. Through an analysis of the survey responses, this study provides a descriptive analysis of socio-demographic variables and a correlation analysis between socio-demographics and sustainable food consumption behaviours, including food shopping behaviour, food purchasing and consumption behaviour, dietary habits, and food waste behaviour. The results demonstrate that socio-demographic factors such as age, gender, education level, income level, and the number of residents in the household are significant for sustainable food consumption behaviour. The survey results also demonstrate that the respondents do not consider carbon footprint generation from food production and transportation in their decisions or behaviours. The study's main limitation is that the survey is implemented in a single city, Izmir. Future research may extend the scope to other cities in Turkiye, allowing a comparative analysis.

    Empowering Energy Citizenship: Exploring Dimensions and Drivers in Citizen Engagement During the Energy Transition
    (Elsevier Ltd, 2024) Biresselioğlu, Mehmet Efe; Demir, Muhittin Hakan; Solak, Berfu; Savaş, Zehra Funda; Kollmann, A.; Kirchler, B.; Özcureci, Berker
    One fundamental aspect of the energy transition involves fostering the active involvement of citizens in the energy system, going beyond their traditional roles as mere “consumers” or “customers.” This shift hinges on individuals' perceptions and displays of energy citizenship. While no universal consensus exists, indicators of energy citizenship include increased awareness of energy issues, incorporation of energy considerations into lifestyle choices, and direct participation in the energy system. Despite this acknowledgement, the current literature lacks an overarching conceptual framework for understanding energy citizenship. This study employs a hybrid methodology, merging systematic and integrative literature reviews. The objective is to explain how existing studies conceptualise energy citizenship, outlining key dimensions and drivers in the literature. The findings reveal that drivers of energy citizenship span socio-political, economic, environmental, psychological, and ethical dimensions. © 2024 The Authors

    Avrupa Yeşil Mutabakatının Etkilerinin Çerçevelendirilmesi: “normatif Güç” Olarak Ab ve Ötesine Yansımaları
    (2024) Biresselioğlu, Mehmet Efe; Solak, Berfu; Savaş, Zehra Funda
    Fosil yakıtların artan kullanımı ve sera gazı emisyonları dünya siyasetinde kritik konular haline gelmiştir. Avrupa Birliği (AB) Yeşil Mutabakatı, Avrupa'yı 2050 yılına kadar \"ilk iklim nötr kıta\" haline getirmeyi taahhüt etmektedir. Yeşil Mutabakat, AB'yi kaynak verimli, rekabetçi ve döngüsel bir ekonomiye dönüştürmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Uluslararası politikada normatif bir güç olarak AB, diğer aktörlerin davranışlarını etkileyebilmekte ve bu da AB’yi uluslararası bir norm yayıcı konumuna getirmektedir. Bu anlamda, \"normatif güç Avrupa\" kavramı Yeşil Mutabakatın rolüyle örtüşmektedir. Bu makale, AB Yeşil Mutabakatının karbon nötrlüğü sürecinde AB'nin normatif bir güç olarak rolünü sürdürmek için başarılı bir araç olup olmadığını incelemekte ve AB Yeşil Mutabakatının fırsatlarını ve zorluklarını ele almaktadır.

    Unveiling Resistance and Opposition Against Low-Carbon Energy Transitions: a Comprehensive Review
    (Elsevier, 2024) Biresselioğlu, Mehmet Efe; Solak, Berfu; Savaş, Zehra Funda
    The growing energy demand has increased the necessity for low-carbon energy transition to tackle climate change. Although existing literature primarily centres on the acceptance of these changes and their technologies, the growing number of low-carbon initiatives and renewable energy projects has prompted a substantial increase in literature exploring the social, political, and cultural resistance and opposition to these shifts. This study systematically analyses current literature to scrutinise the encountered resistance in transitioning toward a lowcarbon economy. It extensively investigates the factors driving resistance across micro, meso, and macro levels, specifically focusing on three technology categories: consumer technologies, renewable energy, and smart energy systems. By synthesising insights from diverse studies that explore the political, social, economic, and cultural contexts of resistance, the primary aim is to contribute to the existing knowledge on energy transition and to provide insights that support more socially sustainable and democratic pathways toward low-carbon societies. Moreover, this study presents policy recommendations to address existing and potential resistance and opposition in this transition. Highlighting the distinctive aspects of each resistance case stresses the significance of acknowledging local intricacies and nuances in comprehending and addressing this resistance.

    Tackling Climate Change at the City Level: Insights From Lighthouse Cities' Climate Mitigation Efforts
    (Frontıers Medıa Sa, 2024) Biresselioğlu, Mehmet Efe; Savaş, Zehra Funda; Demir, Muhittin Hakan; Kentmen Çin, Çiğdem
    Introduction The link between lifestyles and Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions has prioritized climate mitigation strategies of cities worldwide. As cities have increasingly generated GHG emissions by their industrial and transportation activities, their role in climate mitigation has gained prominence. Cities' climate mitigation policies to reduce the GHG intensity of their residents' daily lives are one of their significant efforts to tackle climate change. Lighthouse Cities (LCs), in particular, have emerged as remarkable actors in promoting lifestyle changes for their residents.Methods This study examines climate mitigation strategies of LCs of Climate CAMPAIGNers project, including Baku, Vilnius, Lahti, Izmir, Trujillo, Athens, Linz, Milan, Cape Town, Dublin, and Skopelos, addressing lifestyle changes by conducting an expert survey in 11 LCs involving 89 respondents. The findings of the expert survey are comparatively analyzed across 11 LCs.Results The results show that experts form Lighthouse Cities identify increasing awareness and information provision as a significant component of climate mitigation policies. Concerning lifestyle changes, strategies toward energy efficiency and sustainable mobility are highlighted as the primary areas to be prioritized.Discussion This study enhances the understanding of cities' capacity to reduce their residents' GHG emissions. The findings can be utilized to identify and tailor policies for supporting the Lighthouse Cities in their climate change mitigation efforts and provide pointers for selecting the lifestyle changes that can be promoted and prioritized in Lighthouse Cities.
