A systems approach to policy analysis and Development planning: Construction sector in the Turkish 5-year Development Plans: construction sector in the Turkish five-year Development Plans
Technological Forecasting and Social Change, 2005Co-Authors: M. Atilla Öner, Ozcan SaritasAbstract:In this study, we propose a new model for systems analysis dofT policy and systems analysis dforT policy with the example of construction sector in the Turkish 5-year Development Plans. Our proposed model—integrated Development management model (IDMM)—is conceptually based on the principles of systems thinking and integrated management approach. We present and discuss the results of our work in which we extracted all construction-related policies and strategies from eight 5-year Development Plans and analyzed them using the IDMM. In the light of the analyses, we give several answers to the question: bWhy did the Development Plans fail to meet their targets in Turkey?Q We propose that any Development plan has to have claritas–unitas–integritas–consonantia between the management levels (normative, strategic, and operational) and components (goals, structures, and behavior) of IDMM.

A systems approach to policy analysis and Development planning: Construction sector in the Turkish 5-year Development Plans
Technological Forecasting and Social Change, 2005Co-Authors: M. Atilla Öner, Ozcan SaritasAbstract:Abstract In this study, we propose a new model for systems analysis ‘of’ policy and systems analysis ‘for’ policy with the example of construction sector in the Turkish 5-year Development Plans. Our proposed model—integrated Development management model (IDMM)—is conceptually based on the principles of systems thinking and integrated management approach. We present and discuss the results of our work in which we extracted all construction-related policies and strategies from eight 5-year Development Plans and analyzed them using the IDMM. In the light of the analyses, we give several answers to the question: “Why did the Development Plans fail to meet their targets in Turkey?” We propose that any Development plan has to have claritas–unitas–integritas–consonantia between the management levels (normative, strategic, and operational) and components (goals, structures, and behavior) of IDMM. The paper is the first work that brings the concepts of Development planning and foresight together. In a complementary stance, the time of integrating foresight and Development planning has come.

strategic environmental assessment and national Development Plans in turkey towards legal framework and operational procedure
Environmental Impact Assessment Review, 2006Co-Authors: Muzaffer YucelAbstract:Abstract National Development Plans were started to be prepared in Turkey in 1963. These Plans are mandatory for public investments and guiding principles for private investments. They have a quality which guides and sets objectives for other Plans in the country. Therefore, they can be evaluated as the main reason of successes and failures of sectoral investments or the problems that they cause directly or indirectly. Turkey is undergoing rapid industrialization, urbanization and population growth, thus environmental problems are on the increase. Although Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) has been applied to individual investments in Turkey since 1993, natural environment has continued to be affected because of human activities. Today, parallel to the Developments in the world, it has been discussed that it is necessary to strengthen project-level Environmental Assessment (EA) and to practice Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA). The interest in SEA, that is, EA at the level of proposed policies, Plans and programs has grown significantly since 2000 in the country. Discussions and preparations have started about regulation which provides the legal and institutional framework for SEA in The Ministry of Environment and Forestry. However, since the scientific approach into the subject is very new in Turkey, it will take time to answer the questions about how and in what fields to practice. This research project aims at analyzing the possible practice opportunities of SEA in Turkey and the practicability of SEA into the National Five-Year Development Plan (FYDP) which is assumed at the highest level of planning hierarchy in the country. The research is conducted on two sections. In the first section, procedural approaches to SEA on national Development Plans are investigated and a framework for these approaches is adapted at the institutional level. In the second section, SEA form for energy sector in the Development Plans is developed. In this article, the findings related to the first part of the project are given.

strategic environmental assessment of Development Plans in great britain
Environmental Impact Assessment Review, 1998Co-Authors: Riki TherivelAbstract:Abstract Although Britain has no legislation regarding strategic environmental assessment (SEA), SEA guidance exists and various forms of SEA are carried out: “environmental appraisals” of Development Plans, “environmental profiles” of European Structural Fund applications, ad hoc SEAs for specific sectors, and SEAs for Cabinet decisions. These are characterized by their qualitative approach, relative brevity, and low cost. This article begins by reviewing British SEA guidelines. The status of environmental appraisal of Development Plans is discussed in more detail, based on a series of questionnaires of all U.K. local authorities that queried: the current stage of their appraisal, who carried it out, what techniques were used, what were thought to be the costs and benefits of environmental appraisal, and advice on carrying out an appraisal. The article concludes with a brief discussion of the benefits and limitations of Britain's “streamlined” form of SEA.

Risk Assessment of Water Resources Development Plans Using Fuzzy Fault Tree Analysis
Water Resources Management, 2020Co-Authors: Saeedeh Abedzadeh, Abbas Roozbahani, Ali HeidariAbstract:Water resources Development Plans (WRDPs) is a key element of evaluation for sustainable water supply due to growing needs for adequate and reliable water resources in the human communities by different biodiversity. The Development Plans should be assessed considering social, economic, and environmental aspects as the criteria of sustainable Development and then the risk assessment of the Plans should be carried out using the criteria. In this paper, for the first time, risk-based assessment of WRDPs were carried out under the sustainable Development framework using Fuzzy Fault Tree Analysis (FFTA). The failure of the Plans was considered as the top event based on sustainable Development criteria in this approach and then the factors leading to failure occurrence including social, economic, environmental, and water resources failure indices were identified as 14 basic events (BE) through a top-down process in Fault Tree Analysis (FTA). The case study was the water supply system using conventional and non-conventional water resources for Homozgan province in South of Iran. The water resources Development Plans were evaluated in a model applying two different approaches of crisp and fuzzy for zone number 4 of Makran coastal area and Bandar Abbas city where play significant role in the economic growth of the country. In the both approaches, the failure probability were 38%, 90%, and 50% for the best, worst, and current situation Scenarios, respectively. Taking into account the high computed risk value in the both crisp and fuzzy approaches, the basic events were ranked based on their contribution in the occurrence of the top event. The proposed approach not only addresses the risk of WRDPs in compliance with sustainable Development objectives but also facilitates decision-making for the risk management by prioritizing the factors in the failure of Plans.
