Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 5Promoting Electricity Conservation Through Behavior Change: a Study Protocol for a Web-Based Multiple-Arm Parallel Randomized Controlled Trial(Public Library of Science, 2024-03-14) Asgarabad, M.H.; Vesely, S.; Biresselioğlu, Mehmet Efe; Caffaro, F.; Carrus, G.; Demir, Muhittin Hakan; Kirchler, B.; Klockner, Christian A.Background and aims As a part of the framework of the EU-funded Energy efficiency through Behavior CHANge Transition (ENCHANT) project, the present paper intends to provide a “Research Protocol” of a web-based trial to: (i) assess the effectiveness of behavioral intervention strategies––either single or in combination––on electricity saving, and (ii) unravel the psychological factors contributing to intervention effectiveness in households across Europe. Methods and materials Six distinct interventions (i.e., information provision, collective vs. individual message framing, social norms, consumption feedback, competitive elements, and commitment strategies) targeting electricity saving in households from six European countries (i.e., Austria, Germany, Italy, Norway, Romania, and Türkiye) are evaluated, with an initial expected samples of about 1500 households per country randomly assigned to 12 intervention groups and two control groups, and data is collected through an ad-hoc online platform. The primary outcome is the weekly electricity consumption normalized to the last seven days before measurement per person per household. Secondary outcomes are the peak consumption during the last day before measurement and the self-reported implementation of electricity saving behaviors (e.g., deicing the refrigerator). The underlying psychological factors expected to mediate and/or moderate the intervention effects on these outcomes are intentions to save electricity, perceived difficulty of saving energy, attitudes to electricity saving, electricity saving habit strength, social norms to save electricity, personal norms, collective efficacy, emotional reaction to electricity consumption, and national identity. The intervention effectiveness will be evaluated by comparing psychological factors and consumption variables before and after the intervention, leading to a 14 (groups including 2 control groups) × 6 (time) mixed factorial design, with one factor between (group) and one factor within subjects (time)–6 measurements of the psychological factors and 6 readings of the electricity meters, which gives then 5 weeks of electricity consumption. Results Data collection for the present RCT started in January 2023, and by October 2023 data collection will conclude. Discussion Upon establishing feasibility and effectiveness, the outcomes of this study will assist policymakers, municipalities, NGOs, and other communal entities in identifying impactful interventions tailored to their unique circumstances and available resources. Researchers will benefit from a flexible, structured tool that allows the design, implementation and monitoring of complex interventions protocols. Crucially, the intervention participants will benefit from electricity saving strategies, fostering immediate effectiveness of the interventions in real-life contexts. © 2024 Public Library of Science.

The policies set forth by European Union members to support energy transition are transposed into national policies, strategies, and action plans. Energy transition calls for empowering citizens and communities regarding energy-related initiatives. Of particular importance are smart energy systems and their potential for involving individuals and communities in energy transition initiatives. However, not all citizens are willing to invest in renewable energy or smart appliances. Thus, there is a need for implementing smart energy initiatives, which have three main steps, namely, awareness, mindset (readiness for action), and action. Bearing in mind the lack of uniformity in this area across the European Union, this manuscript assesses the levels of awareness, mindset, and action utilizing the results of a comprehensive international survey, the ECHOES project, with respect to demographic and socioeconomic variables, such as age, income level, and education level. The analysis reveals that 58% of respondents from the West European sample demonstrate a high level of awareness, 56% are ready for action, and 63% already demonstrate action. The percentages are similar for the East European sample, with 56% demonstrating a high level of awareness, 55% are ready for action, and 66% already demonstrating action. Overall, women have higher levels of awareness, readiness for action, and action. For both Western and Eastern European countries, education level and income level are important factors for smart energy adoption, with education levels proving to be more significant for East European countries.Master Thesis A Unified Framework of Business and Humanitarian Logistics for Natural Disaster Management(İzmir Ekonomi Üniversitesi, 2012) Tabaklar, Tunca; Demir, Muhittin HakanAfetler, çeşitleri ne olursa olsun, artan bir eğilim içerisindeler. Bu yüzden, akademisyenler ve uygulamacılar felaket boyutundaki olaylara karşı insanların ve sistemlerin açıklarını azaltmak için yollar bulmaya çalışıyorlar. Birçok ülke doğal afetler yüzünden sıkıntılar çekmektedir. Örneğin, deprem ve sel gibi doğal felaketlere meyilli çok etkin bir bölgede yer alan ülkemiz, Türkiye, yıllardır zorluklar yaşamaktadır. Ayrıca, hatırlayacağınız gibi Mart 2011'de Japonya'da ve Ekim 2011'de Türkiye'de meydana gelen depremler hem insanların hayatına hem de bu iki ülkenin ekonomisine büyük zararlar vermiştir. Biz bu tezde, iki yaklaşımı; yani iş ve insani lojistiği birleştiren bir yeniden yerleştirme modeli öneriyoruz. Bu model konut, sanayi, kamu ve tarım tesislerinin yeniden yerleştirilmesini içermektedir.Master Thesis Potential of Battery Electric Trucks on Logistics and Manufacturing Side in Turkey(İzmir Ekonomi Üniversitesi, 2022) Dinçer, Ege Ali; Demir, Muhittin HakanKarayolu taşımacılığı, dünya çapında CO2 emisyonunun %22'sine ve toplam yakıt tüketiminin %20'sine sahiptir. Ağır ve orta vasıta taşıtlar, toplam araç popülasyonunda küçük bir paya sahipken, araç başına enerji tüketimi ve hava kirliliğinde en büyük paya sahiptir. Elektrikli kamyonların popülaritesi, güncel çevre sorunları ve enerji güvenliği nedeniyle artmıştı. Kanada, İsviçre, Çin gibi ülkeler elektrikli kamyon geliştirmeleri için teşvikler getirdi. Çevresel kaygılarla birlikte elektrikli kamyon üretimi de arttı. Tesla, Volvo, Renault Trucks gibi şirketler elektrikli kamyonlarını piyasaya sundular ve şimdiden Pepsi CO., UPS vb. şirketlerle bir anlaşma imzaladılar. Ancak, elektrikli kamyon geliştirmenin önünde hala engeller var. Başlıca engel, ülkelerin ağırlıklı olarak şarj teknolojileri konusundaki altyapısıdır. Elektrikli kamyonlar, yakıt tüketimi ve sera gazı tasarrufu açısından büyük bir potansiyele sahip olmasına rağmen, mevcut akü teknolojileri nedeniyle kısa mesafeli menzilleri nedeniyle tüm sektörler için verimli olamamaktadır. Ülkelerin madencilik, inşaat sektörlerine bağımlılığı nedeniyle Türkiye elektrikli kamyonları benimseme konusunda büyük bir potansiyele sahip. Ayrıca, Türkiye'nin %41,3'lük ihracatı, emisyonlar gibi çevre sorunlarının ciddiye alındığı Avrupa'yadır. Bu nedenle ağır hizmet kamyonları büyük talep görmektedir. Ancak Türkiye, elektrikli mobilite altyapısı konusunda çok erken aşamadadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, lojistik firmaları ve kamyon üreticilerinin bakış açısıyla elektrikli kamyon ve şarj altyapısı açısından Türkiye'nin potansiyelini analiz etmektir.Master Thesis Energy Efficiency and Energy Saving Opportunities in Hygiene Products Manufacturing Factory: a Case Study(İzmir Ekonomi Üniversitesi, 2023) Özden, Gamze Fi̇li̇z; Demi̇r, Muhi̇ttin HakanBu çalışmada, çalışma için seçilen bir endüstriyel tesisteki enerji verimliliği uygulamaları ve çalışmaları detaylı bir şekilde incelenmiştir.

These objectives are embodied in targets known as the 20-20-20. The targets concern decreasing Greenhouse Gas Emissions (GHG) generation, increasing the share of renewables in total energy consumption, and raising energy efficiency. This paper analyses the target achievements through Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and a classification of schemes that uses the typology derived from three sources: World Energy Council's (WEC) energy trilemma, Fragile States Index (FSI), taking a comparative perspective across countries. It uses mathematical programming, and the resulting efficiency levels reveal the effectiveness of the input parameters in terms of the policy toolbox, motivators, barriers and other economic, cultural and social factors, and the execution practices for achieving the 20-20-20 targets. These efficiency values aid policy makers addressing the process parameters towards target achievements. The results show that WEC scores and FSI performances are not direct indicators of performances in terms of target achievements. For instance, Belgium, Germany and the United Kingdom were not found to be as efficient as their standings would suggest, whereas Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Estonia, Hungary, Lithuania, Malta and Romania have the highest efficiency values.Master Thesis Understanding the Perceptions, Approaches and Activities of Accommodation Facilities in İzmir(İzmir Ekonomi Üniversitesi, 2019) Pesener, Onur Hakan; Demir, Muhittin HakanArtan üretim, ozon tabakasının tükenmesi, küresel ısınma, hava kirliliği gibi sorunları beraberinde getirmiş ve doğal dengeyi bozmuştur.

Sibel; Sabet, Ehsan; Kara, Bahar Y.; Demir, Muhittin H.; Sibel Salman, F.This paper addresses a humanitarian logistics problem connected with the Syrian refugee crisis. The ongoing conflict in Syria has caused displacement of millions of people. Cash-based interventions play an important role in aiding people in the post-crisis period to enhance their well-being in the medium and longer term. The paper presents a study on how to design a network of administrative facilities to support the roll-out of cash-based interventions. The resulting multi-level network consists of a central registration facility, local temporary facilities, mobile facilities and vehicles for door-to-door visits. The goal is to reach the maximum number of eligible beneficiaries within a specified time period while minimizing logistics costs, subject to a limit on total security risk exposure. A mixed integer programming model is formulated to optimize the inter-related facility location and routing decisions under multiple objectives. The authors develop a hierarchical multi-objective metaheuristic algorithm to obtain efficient solutions. An application of the model and the solution algorithm to real data from a region in the southeast of Turkey is presented, with associated managerial insights. (c) 2021 The Author(s).

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.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 5The Significance of Enabling Human Consideration in Policymaking: How To Get the E-Ferry That You Want(Frontiers Media Sa, 2021-06-29) Berntsen, Alexander; Saether, Simen; Royrvik, Jens; Biresselioglu, Mehmet Efe; Demir, Muhittin Hakan; Røyrvik, Jens; Sæther, SimenThere is broad agreement in literature and policy that the transport sector needs to maximise electric mobility, in order to lower both energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. This ongoing transformation continues to require a high degree of technological innovation. Consequently, policymakers are striving to reward innovation in procurement tender contracts, in order to achieve sustainable innovation. At the same time, such contracts are often designed with a principle of technology neutrality in mind, to prevent any distortion of the market logic. This article suggests that it is misguided to try to perfect the logic of the tender system and that articulating contract that rewards innovation is no guarantee of a sustainable solution. Rather than being technological, the problem should be seen as moral: the mounting environmental challenge. Policymakers thus have clear ideas about the action needed based on what they, through moral conviction, consider to be appropriate action. This case study-conducted as a part of the EU H2020-funded ECHOES Project under Work Package 6-on the electrification of the Flakk-Rorvik ferry connexion reveals how policymakers were able to achieve the intended results: in this case, an e-ferry rather than a biodiesel ferry, in spite of, rather than because of, the tender system logic. They achieved this by involving stakeholders in the process with a continuous and uninterrupted dialogue. The project stakeholders were able to intervene in the tender system logic in favour of human considerations. We argue that this project was a success because human judgement, not system logic, was the driving force. By extension, we argue that systems will only allow policymakers to pursue moral issues to the degree that they allow human intervention.
