Abstract
In this study, the effect of openness on economic growth was searched for the most rapidly
developing countries(emerging markets)(Brazil,Russia,India,China and Turkey,BRIC-T) via
panel data analysis by using the annual data of the period from 1989 to 2010. As openness
variable, the proportion of external trade scale to GDP was used. According to empirical
evidence derived from the study made with panel data analysis it was found that the effect of
openness on economic growth was positive and statistically significant in line with theoretical
expectations.

1.INTRODUCTION
In our globalized world whether there is a relationship between trade openness and economic
growth and openness is useful for the economy of the countries or not is still a matter in
arguement. On one hand by trying to decrease the quotas and tariffs through GATT (General
Agreement on Tariffs and Trade ),UNCTAD (United Nations Conference on Trade and
Development) which was established to liberalize the trade between countries and WTO
(World Trade Organization) which was established instead of GATT in 1995 , increasing the
openness of the countries to the world trade is aimed,on the other hand countries impose
restrictions in the world trade by increasing the invisible barrier both to protect the domestic
industries and to get income.
With non-functioning of the national development thesis through the late and the collapse of
the Eastern Block at the end of 1980’s it was again started to argue that openness was
necessary for the national economies. In this context some economists expressed that having a
certain development level was a precondition for openness policies to support the growth
while operating the growth models based on openness and export. (Han and Kaya, 2006: 245;
Sun and Parikh, 2001: 187-188).There are classical economists on the basis of the view that
capital movement liberalization and trade openness will increase the economic growth and
welfare after 1980’s.According to Classical and Neoclassical economists foreign trade makes
important contributions to the development and the foreign trade is not only an effective
productivity instrument but also it is the engine of the growth.Since the sources are limited in
developing countries, the production on the scale of a high and sustainable growth can not be
performed and new sources can be needed for production.With the openness, domestic
markets will encounter with the competition, the domestic industries which can not compete
with international prices will transfer their production factor to the other productive factors
159

and the welfare increase will happen as a result of more effective allocation of the sources.So
for this type of economies it will be useful to make production under free trade.The
precondition of providing growth under free trade is to apply a foreign trade policy which the
national economies may combine with the international structure and to direct the allocation
of the sources for pruduction to the sectors determined by the international demand.The
natural aim of this type of economy is the industrilization and the availibility of the growth
and it is suggested that the required dynamism for this will be realized by a structuring
coming from external demand rather than domestic demand (Çelebi, 1991: 33).
Against the liberal understanding of some classical economists , some economists defended
the import substitution and drew attention to the importance of protectionism for
industrialization. (Bahmani, Oskooee, Niromand, 1999, s.1).He suggested that free trade
would not contribute to the growth among the countries that their development levels were
different, but it would be useful among the countries that their development levels are the
same.For instance,in England where the Industrial Revolution began first and in many of the
other countries that were trying to reach England’s development level he expressed that free
trade is on behalf of England and less developed countries were negatively affected for
foreign trade relatively. (Chang, 2004: 20).
Openness was modelled with the New Growth Theories suggested in 1980’s and it was started
to be tested ampirically.Internal growth theoriessuppose (varsayar) that trade openness will
stimulate the new technologies input. (Harrison, 1996).No matter how the economy is open,
technology input increases,technology usage becomes wide and a more rapid growth realizes
as compared to a less open economy. (Wu, 2004, s. 1).Internal growth models mentioning the
importance of technological diffusion as the source of growth in long period generally
suggest the thesis that the countries that are open to the foreign trade will reach higher stiff
growth rates(Grossman ve Helpman, 1990: 796).So Romer(1986) and Lucas (1998) expressed
that the size of the openness in a country was proportional with the ability of adaptation to the
new and imported technologies and the ability of the arrangement in production.
In the studies so far about the effect of the trade openness on economic growth it is difficult to
say that there is a consensus.Besides Romer (1986) and Lucas (1988) in the context of
internal growth theories, while Dollar (1992), Barro and Sala-i Martin (1995), Sachs
andWarner (1995), Sinha and Sinha (1996), Edwards (1992, 1998) asserted that the effect of
the trade openness on economic growth was positive,Levine and Renelt (1992), Harrison
(1996), Rodrigez and Rodrik (1999) claimed the opposite of this idea.
Shortly called as BRIC firstly in the early 2000s Brazil,Russia,India and China that have
common characters like wide area, big population and rapid economic growth are accepted as
the fastest growing “emerging market” in world economy (O’Neill, 2001:1-16). Total area of
these countries contains more than %25 of the world area and total population of them
contains more than %40 of the world population. It is argued that BRIC group would take G7
group’s place and get the leadership of the world economy when the economic indicators are
considered(Frank and Frank, 2010:46-54).Goldman Sachs who has studies about BRIC
countries estimates that in 2050 China will be the greatest economy in the world,India will be
the third,Brazil will be the fourth and Russia will be the sixth biggest economy.Based on these
indicators, in our study the effect of openness on economic growth will be searched for BRIC
countries and Türkiye that is the most devoloping country than after China and has a
developing economy.

2.Openness
The openness rate of a country is generally calculated as the proportion of foreign trade
volume to GDP besides the usage of the proportion of import to GDP (Romer (1993)) and the
rate of export increase (Chow (1987), Kwan and Cotsomitis (1991))(Bahmani-Oskooee and
Niroomand (1999), Ahmad and Anoruo (2000), Dar and Amirkhalkhali (2003)).Openness
also indicates the dependence of the country on the foreign trade.The size of openness rates
indicates the importance level of the foreign trade for economy of the country.With the trade
openness of the country , an increase can be seen in foreign Exchange incomes and expenses
at the export and import volume increase results. The share of foreign trade in GDP will
increase with the foreign trade volume increase. In Figure 1 trade openness rates of BRIC-T
countries are presented.
Figure 1. BRIC-T Countries Trade Openness Rates

As can be followed from Figure 1, in all BRIC-T countries called as emerging markets since
1990’s we see a stiff openness rates and the share of foreign trade increases. It has been
observed that openness rate is about 0,5 in recent years,so foreign trade volumes of the
countries have reached to nearly half of their GDP.Also in Figure 2the growth rate ofBRIC-T
countries are presented.

As can be followed from Figure 2, we see that the growth rates of the related countries are
closs to each other and the countries were nagatively affected from the global economic crisis
in 2008 and the Asia crisis in 1997.The striking point in Figure 2 is China and India’s positive
growth throughout the whole periods.Also we see that Russia and Turkey are the most
affected countries from the global crisis in 2008.In Table 1 economic size of BRIC-T
countries are presented.

3. Openness and Growth : Literature Scan
The studies searching the relationship between trade openness and economic growth, country
groups, the used methods and results are presented in Table 2. As can be followed from Table
2 the view that openness affects the economic growth positively is generally supported in the
studies and the importance of growth based on export is emphasized.

Basic Findings

He identified that free trade has had no positive effect on
the growth since 1870,even this effect was positive in
1930’sand he expressed that this could be explained by
the changing world trade regime.
He supports the hypothesis that free trade arouses
the economic growth.
He identified that openness not only provided an
effective change in country’s economy,but also it
changed the structure of production technology.
He identified that the changes of economic policy
effected the sectors in economy and production factors in
different ways.
They found that trade openness in Turkey affected
the growth positively.
He identified that economic growth was affected
positively from trade openness and there was a mutual
causality between trade openness and economic growth
in short term.
They expressed that the hypothesis that trade
openness claimed by endogeneous growth theories would
increase the growth was applicable for Turkish economy.
In the economies where the export growth is more
rapid than the economic growth it was identifeid that
froeign exchang policy helped in this situation.
There is a positive relationship betweeen trade
openness and growth and a % 10 increase in trade
openness rate increases the growth nearly with the rate of
% 7.

4. AMPIRICAL ANALYSIS
4.1. Data set and Model
In this study, the effect of openness on economic growth was searched for the most rapidly
developing countries(emerging markets)(Brazil,Russia,India,China and Turkey,BRIC-T) via
panel data analysis by using the annual data of the period from 1989 to 2010. From the
variables used in the analysisy;represents the growth rate (GDP) andopen;represents trade
openness (X+M/GSYİH). The data was obtained from the web pages of IMF and the World
Bank (www.imf.org, www.worldbank.org).
For analysis Stata 11 and Eviews 5.1. econometric analysis programmes were used and for
model choise and correction tests codes22 were used.
4.2. Method
Panal data analysis was used to search the data from different countries together. Panel data
analysis (Baltagi, 2001; Gujarati, 1999 and Tarı, 2010):

This model was based on decomposing the error term ( ) to its components in terms of its
individual and time effects. In the modeliindicates the countries, tindicates the time. When the
error term was decomposed:

was obtained. This final equation is called error component model. Here indicates the
individual effects,
indicates the time effects.It is supposed
(Independent Identically Distributed), in other words the avarage of error terms is zero, its
variant is stable and it is distributed normally(having white noise process).In the Panel data
analysis the stability of the series are searched through panel unit root tests firstly.Then the
type of individual and time effects should be identified. An indogeneity test should be
conducted among the variables when there is a variable which is considered to have a close
relation with the given variable,therefore it is suspected for its indogeneity. After that a model
should be estimated and the problems of changing variant and autocorrelation in the model
should be tested.
4.3.Panel Unit Root Analysis
It is accepted that the panel unit root tests which regard the information about both time and
horizontal section dimension of the data are statistically stronger than the time series unit root
tests which regard the information only about the time dimension (Im, Pesaran ve Shin,1997;
Maddala ve Wu, 1999; Taylor ve Sarno, 1998; Levin, Lin ve Chu, 2002; Hadri, 2000;
Pesaran, 2006; Beyaert and Camacho, 2008).Because the variability in the data increases
when the horizontal section dimension is included to the analysis.
The first problem in panel unit root test is whether the horizontal sections building the panel
are independent or not. At that point panel unit root tests are classified as the first generation

164

�3rd International Symposium on Sustainable Development, May 31 - June 01 2012, Sarajevo

and the second generation. The first generation tests are also classified as homogeneous and
heterogeneous.While Levin, Lin and Chu (2002), Breitung (2000) and Hadri (2000) are based
on homogeneous model hypothesis; Im, Pesaran and Shin (2003), Maddala and Wu (1999),
Choi (2001) are based on heterogeneous model hypothesis. On the other hand, the main
second generation unit root tests are MADF (Taylor and Sarno, 1998), SURADF (Breuer,
Mcknown and Wallace, 2002), Bai and Ng (2004) and CADF (Pesaran, 2006).
Since the countries included in the analysis are not homogeneous, Im, Pesaran and Shin
(2003) will use (IPS) testin this study. This test:

is based on the model above. Here ; is error correction term and when
&lt;1 happens, we
understand that the serie is trend stable ,on the other hand when
1 happens, it has unit
root, thus it is not stable.IPS test enables the
sto differentiate for the horizontal section
units, in other words heterogeneous panel structure.Test hypotheses:
H0:

for all the horizontal section units,so the serie is not stable.

H1:

for at least one horizontal section unit,so the serie is stable.

When the possibility value obtained from the test results is smaller than 0.05 , H0is rejected
and it is decided that the serie is stable. IPS panel unit root test results are on Table 4.

Note:In Panel unit root test Schwarz criterionis used and delay length is regarded as 1..

When we study on the results on Table 4, it is observed that only Y and OPENseries are not
stable in level value and series became stable in the first difference. In other words,in the
studied period it is found out that macroeconomic variables are not stable and the shock
effects on these variables do not disappear after a while.So we can say that the last economic
crisis was destabilized the countries’ economies considerably.
4.4. Breush- Pagan Lagrange Multiplier (LM) Test
In this stage of the analysis, LM test was performed in order to determine the type of time
effect and individual effects( random or stable). Because the selected countries are not in a
certain economic group, it was anticipated that individual effects would be random and also
the time effects would be random for the countries because there is an economic crisis
affecting most of the countries in the studied period. Whether the effects are really random or
not can be determined by LM test (Baltagi. 2001:15).
165

�3rd International Symposium on Sustainable Development, May 31 - June 01 2012, Sarajevo

LM test is classified as LM1 and LM2 . LM=LM1+LM2. LM1; tests the randomness of
individual effects and F2 tests the randomness of time effects.
In LM1 test; H0:
(No individual effects ) hypothesis is tested throughLM1 statistics.
LM1 statistics is calculated by the formula below.

Here ; indicates the individual effects in the equation (4), N;indicates the horizontal section
(country) number, T; indicates the time dimension, ; indicates the prediction for the error
terms in the equation (3). When the possibility value obtained from the test results is smaller
than 0.05 , H0is rejected and it is decided that individual effects are random.
In F2 test; H0:
(No time effect) hypothesis is tested by LM2 statistics. LM2 statistics
is calculated by the formula below.

Here ; indicates the individual effects in the equation (4), N; indicates the horizontal section
(country) number , T; indicates the time dimension, ; indicates the predictions for the error
terms in the equation (3). When the possibility value obtained from the test results is smaller
than 0.05 , H0is rejected and it is decided that time effects are random.
In LM=LM1+LM2 test;
H0:

(No individual and time effects)

H1:

or both of them

(At least one or two of the effects are random).

When the possibility value obtained from the test results is smaller than 0.05 , H0is rejected
and it is decided that both of the effects are random.In this case the prediction is made through
the two-sided random effect model.In Table 5 there are LM tests results.

When we look the results in Table 5, we can see thatindividual effects and time effects are

4.5. Hausman Endogeneity Test
In this stage of the study,whether there was a relationship between the individual effects and
the explanatory variables or not was tested by Hausman method. Test hypotheses:
H0: Cov(

No endogeneity problem.

H1: Cov(

An endogeneity problem.

Here ; indicates the individual effets in the equation (4),but
indicates the exlanatory
variables in the equation (3). When the possibility value of
(Chi2=Kikare) obtained from
the analysis is smaller than 0.05 , H0is rejected and it is decided that there is an endogeneity
problem in the model.In this case stable effects model is used.(Greene, 2003).However, when
H0 is accepted,random effects model is used.This prediction is effective , non-deviated and
coherent. Hausman test is not an alternative forLM test.But it works as function to check the
decision by LM test. Hausman test was conducted and χ2=14.62 ve χ2 possibility value
=0.406 was obtained and since this value was bigger than 0.05, H0 hypothesis was accepted
and it was decided that there was no endogeneity problem in the model.In this case, it is
necessary to do the analysis with the random effects model and this result supports the LM
test results.
4.6. Two-Sided Random Effects Model Predictions

In random effect models weighted statistics values are used. (Baltagi 2001: 21). When we
look to the weighted test statistics in Table 6,we can see that model is reliable as
statistically.Also whether there are flexible variants and autocorrelation problems in the
model are tested below.
4.7. Lagrange Multiplier (LM) Flexible Variant Test
The most common test in order to test whether the error terms variant of the model changes
from horizontal section to horizontal section is LM test. (Greene, 2003). Test hypotheses:
H0:
variant problem.
H1: At least one

Variant is stable. So there is no flexible
Variant is not stable. So there is a flexible variant

problem.
The required test statistics to test these hypotheses are calculated through the following
formula:
167

(6)
When the possibility value obtained from the test results is smaller than 0.05 , H0is rejected.In
other words it is decided that there is a flexible variant problem in the model. (Greene, 2003).
Lm test was conducted and the possibility value was found 0.23..In this case H0 was rejected
and it was decided that there was no flexible variant problem in the model.
4.8. Autocorrelation Test
It is a test to study the relationship of the error terms of the model with its delayed values.The
equation to measure this relationship is AR(1) process (Wooldridge, 2002):
(7)
Test hypotheses:
H0:
H1:

No autocorrelationproblem.

The required test statistics to test these hypotheses is calculated by the following formula:
(8)
HereSSRR; indicates the sum of the squares of the error terms of the limited model in the
equation (3) SSRUR; indicates the sum of the squares of error terms of the unlimited model,
g; indicatesthe limit number anddf; indicates the independence grade. When the possibility
value obtained from the test results is smaller than 0.05,H0is rejected.It is decided that there is
an autocorrelation problem in the model. (Drukker, 2003).
F test was conducted and the possibility value was found0,622. In this case
and it was decided that there was no autocorrelation problem in the model.

H0is accepted

Since there is no flexible variant and autocorrelation problems in the model, the prediction
results are reliable and interpretable. As can be seen from the Table 6, financial development
level affects the economic growth positively in line with the theoretical expectations.A % 1
increase in financial development level will increase the growth with the rate of % 1.33. The
importance of the foreign direct investments especially in developing countries is often
emphasized. As a result of the analysis the effect of a % 1 increase in the foreign direct
investments on the growth will be % 0,79. Also trade openness variant used in the model was
observed as the most effective variant in growth and it was found out that a %1 increase in
openness level increased the growth with the rate of % 4,31. So this affected Turkey mostly in
terms of the decrease in export depending on the decrease in external demand as a result of
2008 global economic crisis. (Somel, 2009).
5.CONCLUSION
In this study the effect of financial development level on economic growth was searched via
panel data analysis method in the sample of 5 developing countries which have an important
place in the world economy(emerging markets, Brazil, Russia, India, China and TurkeyBRIC-T). The foreign direct investments and trade openness which were considered to affect
168

the growth as well as financial development were included in the study where the annual data
between 1989 and 2010 periods were used. At the panel unit root analysis result it was found
out that series were not stable and the effects of shocks on the series did not disappear after a
while and therefore it was determined that macroeconomic shocks affected the economy of
the countries significantly.
At the F tests result conducted to define the applicable panel data analysis method it was
found out that individual and time effects were stable, for that reason an analysis with the
two-sided stable effect model was carried out.At the endogeneity test result it was found out
that there was no endogeneity problem in the model. At the model conformation tests result it
was foud out that there was no flexible variant and autocorrelation problems in the model. In
this regard, the predicted model is reliable econometrically.
According to the analysis results, it was determined that a % 1 increase in financial
development level increased the growth at the rate of % 1,33 , a % 1 increase in foreign direct
investments increased the growth at the rate of % 0,79.Also it was found out that trade
openness in the model was the most effective variant of the growth and the evidence that a %
1 increase in openness level increased the the growth at the rate of % 4,31.The expression that
the global economic crisis in 2008 affected Turkey mostly in export dimension supports the
analysis result.
As a conclusion, in the study the effect of financial development, foreign direct investments
and openness were searched and it was found that openness, financial development and
foreign investments in turn affected the growth mostly. If the sustainable growth is considered
as one of the most significant variables of the growth for the countries, the increase in foreign
trade especially in export,the stimulations for the foreign direct investments and the increase
in financial development level are very important.

Abstract
This study analyses the effect of foreign capital inflow (especially foreign direct investment)
on the sustainable economic development of Turkey. The main objectives of the study are to
analyses the long run relationship between foreign direct investment and sustainable
economic development. Quarterly data were used from the period of 1992:Q1 to 2011:Q3.
The Engle-Granger Methodology for cointegration was applied to estimate the long run
relationship. The Augmented Dickey Fuller (ADF) unit root tests were used to check the
stationarity of each variable in the model. The ADF tests of the differences of each variable
indicate that all of the variables are integrated of the first order. Cointegration was applied to
estimate the long run relationship. A stable long run relationship was found between foreign
direct investment and the sustainable economic development. Even if error correction

Abstract
In this study, the effect of financial development on economic growth was searched for the
most rapidly developing countries(emerging markets)(Brazil,Russia,India,China and
Turkey,BRIC-T) via panel data analysis by using the annual data of the period from 1989 to
2010. Foreign direct investments and trade openness which were thought to have effects on
the growth were included in the analysis.According to empirical evidence derived from the
study made with panel data analysis it was found that the effect of financial development on
economic growth was positive and statistically significant in line with theoretical
expectations.The evidence thateven foreign direct investments and openness contributed to
the growth positively was also found.

1.INTRODUCTION
An increase in financial instruments and becoming of these instruments more commonly
available in a country is defined as a financial development.In other words, financial growth
137

�3rd International Symposium on Sustainable Development, May 31 - June 01 2012, Sarajevo

means the development of financial markets (Erim,2005). Financial growth is the change of
financial system in terms of size and structure. However, financial deepening expresses the
share of money supply in national income and it becomes a measure for financial growth and
financial instrument variety(Saltoğlu,1998). Financial growth can be expressed as a channel
that transforms the savings to the investment in financial changing process.
In its literature, great contributions of the financial markets and instituations to the economic
growth process of the countries in many ways are emphasized and this constitutes the subjects
of many ampirical studies.In the studies it is generally stated that a financial system which
performs its financial functions would contribute to the economic growth in long
term.18Smoothly running financial markets in economy supports the capital accumulation,
helps the small funds to direct to the big investments, encourages the disseminations of new
technologies and thus by providing the effective usage of the sources , it supports the
economic productivity and growth(Aslan and Küçükaksoy,2006)
Economic growth of that country will be high, if financial instituations provide the credit
demands of the reel sector.In the early studies about financial and economic growth (Gurley
and Shaw,1955,1967; Gerschenkron, 1962; Goldsmith, 1969), we observe that the effect of
financial intermediation function on economic growth process is uttered although the theoric
thoughts can not be expressed as a whole.
Though Gurley and Shaw make a great contribution to the literature by expressing the
relationship between financial sector and economic growth for the first time, they do not make
any comment about whether there is a causality relationship between financial development
and economic growth or not or if there is , what the direction of this relationship is.Patrick
(1966) for the first time dealed the relationship between financial sector and economic growth
by conceptualizing.He expressed that the causality between financial sector and economic
growth could be in two different forms. The writer explained this relationship by using the
demand-following and supply-leading concepts. In demand-following case he expresses the
financial sector growth to supply the demand occuring as a result of the developments in reel
sector and in supply-leading he explains that the growth of financial sector institutionally
would stimulate the economic growth.
It is very difficult to say that there is an agreement in many studies performed in order to
determine the direction of the causality between financial sector and economic growth. In the
ampirical analysis between financial development and economic growth we can see that there
are studies expressing the causality relationship is both one-sided and two-sided.19Also in
some studies it is stated that the relationship between financial development and economic
growth variables is weak,even financial growth may have a decreasing role in economic
growth process(Singh, 1997; Deidda, 2006).
Shortly called as BRIC firstly in the early 2000s Brazil,Russia,India and China that have
common characters like wide area, big population and rapid economic growth are accepted as

contains more than %40 of the world population. It is argued that BRIC group would take G7
group’s place and get the leadership of the world economy when the economic indicators are
considered(Frank and Frank, 2010:46-54).Goldman Sachs who has studies about BRIC
countries estimates that in 2050 China will be the greatest economy in the world,India will be
the third,Brazil will be the fourth and Russia will be the sixth biggest economy.
Based on these indicators, with the help of panel data analysis by using the annual data of
1989 and 2010 in our study the effect of financial development on economic growth is
searched for BRIC countries and Türkiye that is the most devoloping country than after China
and has a developing economy.In second section of the study, the literature ranking about
empirical studies is presented as a table.In the following sectionsthe data set and method used
in the analysis are introduced and evidences are given. In final section a general evaluation is
conducted.
2. Literature Review
The first studies searching the relationship between financial development and economic
growth were conducted by Bagehot (1873) and Schumpeter (1912). In his study Schumpeter
(1912) indicated that a smoothly running economy would support the investors economically
by providing the finance of technological innovations that was necessary for producing the
new products the most effectively and productively. Meanwhile,he expressed that the growth
of financial sector especially the growth of banking sector was necassary for economic
growth.In literature followingSchumpeter (1912) many theorical and empirical studies were
performed.The studies searching the relationship between the financial development and
economic growth, country group, the used methods and results were indicated in Table .As we
can observe from the Table 1 the view that financial development effects the economic
growth positively was supported although there was no agreement between financial
development and economic growth in terms of causality in the studies generally.

3. Financial Development Indicators
In financial development literature, the proportion of financial sector to Gross Domestic
Product is defined as financial depth (Feldman and Gang, 1990; Outreville, 1999). The
indicators predicating the size of loan and currency are the variables that are used as a
measure of financial development.In literature in limited and unlimited sense, the proportion
of curruncy supply to GDP (M1/GDP, M2/GDP, M2Y/GDP), private sector loans/GDP,
private sector credits of the banks/GDP, market value of the firms in Stock Exchange
Market/GDP,effective money/GDP are usedas the indicator of financial development and
financial depth.20“ Loans for the private sector” variable that has been used recently as an
alternative indicator for financial intermediation is not preferred because the indicators based
on the size of currency (MI, M2,M2Y) in some studies do not represent the financial
development. (Khan and Senhadji, 2000).
The most fundamental of these indicators is the indicators giving the proportion of limited
and unlimited defined currency supply/GDP.It is indicated that M1/GDP proportion is not in
strong relation with the growth,but M2/GDP proportion indicates the measure of the size of
the whole sector in financial intermediation and it is in strong relation with the change in per
cepita real GDP (King and Levine, 1993).
4. AMPIRICAL ANALYSIS
4.1. Data Set and Model
In this study the effect of financial development on eceonomic growth was searched by using
the data between 1989-2010 period in the sample of 5 developing countries which have an
important place in world economy (Brazil, Russia, India, China ve Turkey-BRIC-T).In the
analysis, besides the financial development, foreign direct investments and trade openness
which were thought to affect the growth was included to the model.From the variables used in
the analysisy;represents the growth rate (GDP), fd;represents Financial Development
(M2/GDP), fdi;represents Foreign Direct Investments (FDI/GDP) ve open;represents trade
openness (X+M/GDP).The data was obtained from the web pages of IMF and the World
Bank(www.imf.org, www.worldbank.org).
For analysis Stata 11 and Eviews 5.1. econometric analysis programmes were used and for
model choise and correction tests codes21 were used.
4.2. Method
Panal data analysis was used to search the data from different countries together. Panel data

This model was based on decomposing the error term ( ) to its components in terms of its
individual and time effects. In the modeliindicates the countries, tindicates the time. When the
error term was decomposed:

effects,
indicates
the
time
effects.It
is
supposed
(Independent Identically Distributed), in other words the
avarage of error terms is zero, its variant is stable and it is distributed normally(having white
noise process).
In the Panel data analysis the stability of the series are searched through panel unit root tests
firtsly.Then the type of individual and time effects should be identified. An indogeneity test
should be conducted among the variables when there is a variable which is considered to have
a close relation with the given variable,therefore it is suspected for its indogeneity. After that
a model should be estimated and the problems of changing variant and autocorrelation in the
model should be tested.
4.3.Panel Unit Root Analysis
It is accepted that the panel unit root tests which regard the information about both time and
horizontal section dimension of the dataare statistically stronger than the time series unit root
tests which regard the information only about the time dimension (Im, Pesaran ve Shin,1997;
Maddala ve Wu, 1999; Taylor ve Sarno, 1998; Levin, Lin ve Chu, 2002; Hadri, 2000;
Pesaran, 2006; Beyaert and Camacho, 2008).Because the variability in the data increases
when the horizontal section dimension is included to the analysis.
The first problem in panel unit root test is whether the horizontal sections building the panel
are independent or not.At that point panel unit root tests are classified as the first generation
and the second generation.The first generation tests are also classified as homogeneous and
heterogeneous.While Levin, Lin and Chu (2002), Breitung (2000) and Hadri (2000) are based
on homogeneous model hypothesis, Im, Pesaran and Shin (2003), Maddala and Wu (1999),
Choi (2001) are based on heterogeneous model hypothesis. On the other hand, the main
second generation unit root tests are MADF (Taylor and Sarno, 1998), SURADF (Breuer,
Mcknown and Wallace, 2002), Bai and Ng (2004) and CADF (Pesaran, 2006).
Since the countries included in the analysis are not homogeneous, Im, Pesaran and Shin
(2003)will use (IPS) testin this study. This test:

is based on the model above. Here ; is error correction term and when
&lt;1 happens, we
understand that the serie is trend stable ,on the other hand when
1 happens, it has unit
root,thus it is not stable. IPS test enables the
sto differentiate for the horizontal section
units,in other words heterogeneous panel structure.Test hypotheses:
H0:
146

for all the horizontal section units,so the serie is not stable.

�3rd International Symposium on Sustainable Development, May 31 - June 01 2012, Sarajevo

H1:

for at least one horizontal section unit,so the serie is stable.

When the possibility value obtained from the test results is smaller than 0.05, H0is rejected
and it is decided that the serie is stable. IPS panel unit root test results are on Table 4.

When we study on the results on Table4, it is observed that all series are not stable in level
value,but the series become stable when first differences of the series are taken.In other
words,in the studied period it is found out that macroeconomic variables are not stable and the
shock effects on these variables do not disappear after a while.
4.4. Breush- Pagan Lagrange Multiplier (LM) Test
In this stage of the analysis, F test was performed in order to determine the type of time effect
and individual effects( random or stable). Because the selected countries are in a certain
economic group, it was anticipated that individual effects would be stable and also the time
effects of financial development on the growth would be stable for the countries in the studied
period. Whether the effects are really random or not can be determined by F test (Baltagi.
2001:15).
F test is classified as F1 andF2 . F=F1+F2.
andF2tests the time effects are stable.

F1;tests the individual effects are stable

In F1 test; H0:
(No individual effects ) hypothesis is tested throughF1 statistics. F1
statistics is calculated by the formula below.

than 0.05 , H0is rejected and it is decided that individual effects are stable.
In F2 test; H0:

calculated by the formula below.

In F=F1+F2 test;
H0:

(At least one or two of the effects are random).

When the possibility value obtained from the test results is smaller than 0.05 , H0is rejected
and it is decided that both of the effects are stable.In this case a prediction is made through the
two-sided stable effect model.In Table5 there are F tests results.

When we look the results in Table5, we can see thatindividual effects and time effects are

4.5. Hausman Endogeneity Test
In this stage of the study,whether there was a relationship between the individual effects and
the explanatory variables or not was tested by Hausman method. Test hypotheses:
H0: Cov(

No endogeneity problem.

H1: Cov(

An endogeneity problem.

Here ; indicates the individual effets in the equation (4),but
indicates the exlanatory
variables in the equation(3).When the possibility value of
(Chi2=Kikare) obtained from
the analysis is smaller than 0.05 , H0is rejected and it is decided that there is an endogeneity
problem in the model.In this case random effects model is used.(Greene, 2003).However,
when H0 is accepted,stable effects model is used.This prediction is effective , non- deviated
and coherent.Hausman test is not an alternative forF test. But it works as function to check the
decision by F test.Hausman test was conducted and χ2=14.62 veχ2 possibility value =0.404
was obtained and since this value was bigger than 0.05 , H0 hypothesis was accepted and it
148

�3rd International Symposium on Sustainable Development, May 31 - June 01 2012, Sarajevo

was decided that there was no endogeneity problem in the model.In this case, it is necessary
to do the analysis with the random effects model and this result supports the F test results.

*: %10 level of significance was used.

In stable effect models weighted statistics values are used. (Baltagi 2001: 21). When we look
to the weighted test statistics in Table6,we can see that model is reliable as statistically.Also
whether there are flexible variants and autocorrelation problems in the model are tested
below.
4.7. Lagrange Multiplier (LM) Flexible Variant Test
The most common test in order to test whether the error terms variant of the model changes
from horizontal section to horizontal section is LM test. (Greene, 2003). Test hypotheses:
H0:
variant problem.
H1: At least one

Variant is stable. So there is no flexible
Variant is not stable. So there is a flexible variant

problem.
The required test statistics to test these hypotheses are calculated through the following
formula:
(6)
When the possibility value obtained from the test results is smaller than 0.05 , H0is rejected.In
other words it is decided that there is a flexible variant problem in the model. (Greene,
2003).Lm test was conducted and the possibility value was found 0.05.In this case H0 was
rejected and it was decided that there was no flexible variant problem in the model.
4.8. Autocorrelation Test
It is a test to study the relationship of the error terms of the model with its delayed values.The
equation to measure this relationship is AR(1) process (Wooldridge, 2002):
(7)
149

�3rd International Symposium on Sustainable Development, May 31 - June 01 2012, Sarajevo

Test hypotheses:
H0:

No autocorrelationproblem.

H1:

Am autocorrelationproblem.

The required test statistics to test these hypotheses is calculated by the following formula:
(8)
HereSSRR; indicates the sum of the squares of the error terms of the limited model in the
equation (3) SSRUR; indicates the sum of the squares of error terms of the unlimited model,
g; indicatesthe limit number and df; indicates the independence grade. When the possibility
value obtained from the test results is smaller than 0.05 , H0is rejected.It is decided that there
is an autocorrelation problem in the model. (Drukker, 2003).
F test was conducted and the possibility value was found0,052.In this case
and it was decided that there was no autocorrelation problem in the model.

H0is accepted

Since there is no flexible variant and autocorrelation problems in the model, the prediciton
results are reliable and interpretable. As can be seen from the Table 6, financial development
level affects the economic growth positively in line with the theoretical expectations.A % 1
increase in financial development level will increase the growth with the rate of % 1.33. The
importance of the foreign direct investments especially in developing countries is often
emphasized. As a result of the analysis the effect of a % 1 increase in the foreign direct
investments on the growth will be % 0,79. Also trade openness variant used in the model was
observed as the most effective variant in growth and it was found out that a %1 increase in
openness level increased the growth with the rate of % 4,31.So this affected Turkey mostly in
terms of the decrease in export depending on the decrease in external demand as a result of
2008 global economic crisis. (Somel, 2009).
5.CONCLUSION
In this study the effect of financial development level on economic growth was searched via
panel data analysis method in the sample of 5 developing countries which have an important
place in the world economy(emerging markets, Brazil,Russia,India,China and Turkey-BRICT). the foreign direct investments and trade openness which were considered to affect the
growth as well as financial development were included in the study where the annual data of
1989-2010 periods were used. At the panel unit root analysis result it was found out that series
were not stable and the effects of shocks on the series did not disappear after a while and
therefore it was determined that macroeconomic shocks affected the economy of the countries
significantly.
At the F tests result conducted to define the applicable panel data analysis method it was
found out that individual and time effects were stable,for that reason an analysis with the twosided stable effect model was carried out.At the endogeneity test result it was found out that
there was no endogeneity problem in the model. At the model conformation tests result it was
foud out that there was no flexible variant and autocorrelation problems in the model. In this
regard, the predicted model is reliable econometrically.
According to the analysis results, it was determined that a % 1 increase in financial
development level increased the growth at the rate of % 1,33 , a % 1 increase in foreign direct
investments increased the growth at the rate of % 0,79.Also it was found out that trade
150

openness in the model was the most effective variant of the growth and the evidence that a %
1 increase in openness level increased the the growth at the rate of % 4,31.The expression that
the global economic crisis in 2008 affected Turkey mostly in export dimension supports the
analysis result.
To sum up, in the study the effect of financial development, foreign direct investments and
openness were searched and it was found that openness, financial development and foreign
investments in turn affected the growth mostly. If the sustainable growth is considered as one
of the most significant variables of the growth for the countries, the increase in foreign trade
especially in export,the stimulations for the foreign direct investments and the increase in
financial development level are very important.

Abstract
Within the context of sustainable development objectives, reducing greenhouse gas emissions
(GHG) that cause climate change was first discussed and officially negotiated at the 1992 Rio
Conference, which particularly emphasised developed countries to take serious measures.
Then, it was followed by the Kyoto Protocol, which specified national ghg emission reduction
targets for developed countries. With Kyoto Protocol, it was decided for these countries to
reduce global emissions by 5% below 1990 levels compared to 2008-2012 emission levels.
Turkey became a party to the Kyoto Protocol in 2009, yet due to their special circumstances
they did not take any emission reduction commitments.. Negotiations on Post-2012 emission
reduction obligations are still in progress under the UNFCCC umbrella and it is expected to
have emission reduction targets not only by developed countries but also by developing ones.
In this regard, it is important for Turkey to estimate its future ghg emissions, if they have to
take a Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMA) for their strategy. There are
various ghg emission estimations for 2020 and the results indicate different emission levels.
167

�3rd International Symposium on Sustainable Development, May 31 - June 01 2012, Sarajevo

Objective of this study is to estimate ghg emission levels for Turkey for 2020 and afterwards
by using time series and regression analysis. Then, appropriate policy implications are
discussed with the result of these findings.

1.INTRODUCTION
Global warming and climate change is the common problem of the whole world and
humanity, concerning many sectors including industry, trade, tourism andagriculture. Acting
in coordination, analyzing the elements leading to the problem is important in solving this
issue. As the development levels, energy resources and population structures of countries are
not homogenous, the possible emission reduction rates due to their strategies to combat global
warming, applicable tools and measures taken, would also be different. Tasking the same
amount of green house gas reductionto a developed country and a developing country would
have negative consequences on the economy of the developing country.
Turkeyhas reached a growth trend since 2002 following the introduction of strong economy
programme, and is since among the group of developing countries. In line with her growing
economy, greenhouse gas emission has increased, which is a source ofglobal warming.In her
combat against global warming, it is important for Turkey to choose the most appropriate
tools, which would not harm the economic growth, or keep the damage at a minimum level.
At this point, the NationalGreenhouse Gas Emission Inventoryis the most important reference.
This inventory needs to be prepared annually by each United Nations Climate Change
Framework Convention (UNCCFC) signing country and submitted to the UNCCFC
secretariat. Thanks to this inventory, countries are able to determine greenhouse gas emission
amounts, sources and sectoral breakdown.
2. Climate Change negotiations and Turkey
A member of OECD since 1961, Turkey has been included to ANNEX-I countries group,
primarily responsible for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and at the same time, to
ANNEX-II countries which shall be providing financial and technical assistance to reduce
emissions from the underdeveloped countries. The economic development level of Turkey is
generally lower than both OECD countries, and the other ANNEX II countries. It is not
rational for Turkeyto have the same emission reduction commitment as economically
developed countries. Therefore, Turkey has not signed the CCFC during the 1992 Rio
Conference, even though she approved its principles, claiming she could not fulfil the
commitments.
According to the Kyoto Protocol, ratified in1997 at theConference of Parties 3 and opened to
signature on 16 March 1998, countries in the ANNEX I group are obliged to reduce their
greenhouse gas emissions to under 5% of the1990 levels, between 2008-2012. This target set
by the Kyoto Protocolis being regarded as one of the most important international steps taken
towards limiting the greenhouse gas emissions.
During the 1997 Conference of Parties3 (COP3) in Kyoto, Turkey demanded for CCFC to be
removed from both Annexes, however, as this demand was not accepted, Turkey did not
become a party to Kyoto Protocol. During the Conference of Parties 6 held in the Hague in
2000, Turkey has stated that she would become a side to CCFC as an ANNEX-I country, on
168

�3rd International Symposium on Sustainable Development, May 31 - June 01 2012, Sarajevo

condition that she is removed from ANNEX II and provided technical assistance, financial
assistance and capacity development, just like the former socialist states transforming to fee
market economies. As part of the decision taken at the Hague Conference, it was accepted for
Turkey to be removed from ANNEX-II, by the following decision taken atConference of
Parties 7 in Marrakech in 2001: “By recognizing the special conditions of Turkey compared
to the other countries listed in ANNEX-I of the convention, it is decided to keep Turkey in
ANNEX-I but remove form ANNEX-II, by decision number26/CP.7” (UNCCFC, 2001: 2).
Following these developments, the law on Turkey to join Climate Change Framework
Convention was signed on 24 May 2004 and Turkey became the 189th country to become a
side to the Climate Change Framework Convention.
The law on Turkey to join Kyoto Protocolwas adopted on 26 August 2009 and Turkeybecame
a side to the Protocol. Not being a side to UNCCFCon the acception date (1997) of the
Protocol, Turkey was not included to the Protocol ANNEX-B list, which defines the
numerical emission limiting or reduction commitments of ANNEX-I Parties. Therefore, there
is no numerical emission limiting or reduction commitment for Turkey during the first
commitment
period
of
the
Protocol,
covering
the
2008-2012
period.

3. Global Warming Trend, Projectionsand Scenarios
By looking at the data gathered from all the studies on global warming, it is possible to say
that greenhouse gas emissions within the atmosphere are constantly on the rise. According to
the fourth and latest assessment report published by IPCC in 2007; the temperature of the
earth and oceans are increasing, glaciers are melting environmental transformation is taking
place at a very fast speed. As well as the IPCC reports, studies are being held on climate
change in many different countries. As an example; according to the measurements since
1958 by the Government of the United States of America National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration’s observatory located in Hawaii Island’s Mauna Loa Mountain (3500m) in the
middle of Pacific Ocean, carbon-dioxide accumulation within the atmosphere is rising at an
incredible speed (Figure 1). Other than the Mauna Loa observatory, a number of fixed stations
such as Law Dome, Adalie Land, South Pole and Siple, and aeroplanes for certain heights of
the atmosphere, are being constantly used to measure greenhouse gas, and increases in
greenhouse gas emissions are being scientifically set forth (Özçağ, 2011. s:12).
Figure 1: Development of CO2Density at the Atmosphere

Source: http://www.licor.com/env/newsline/tag/keeling-curve/, Access: 13.03.2012
The saw shaped graphic at the first part of Figure 1 is being called as the Keeling curve. The
reason for the saw shape is representing the plants absorbing carbon-dioxide from the
atmosphere during the summer months, and giving back during the winter (Madra and Şahin,
2007:30-33).
As it could be viewed from Figure 1, while the CO2 density in the atmosphere between 17501900 increased from 280 ppm (parts per million) to 285 ppm, an increase of just 5ppm, it
increased from 280 ppm to 360 ppm between 1900-2000, an increase of 75 ppm. By
industrialization since the 1900’s, the increase in CO2 density is 15 times the level of the
previous period (http://www.brophy.net/weblog/pivot/entry.php?id=10, Access:27.11.2011).
The annual CO2 emissiondue to fossil fuel consumption was 6.4 GtC (Giga Ton Carbon) in
1990, but during the 2000-2005 period, it increased to 7.2 GtC. The atmospheric density of
Methane, another greenhouse gas, was 715 ppb (parts per billion) in pre-industry period, and
increased to 1732 ppb during the early 1990’s, and in 2005, the figure was 1774 ppb. During
the same period, nitric oxide levels rose from 215 ppb to 317 ppb (IPCC, 2007a: 2-3).
According to Assessment Report 4 (AR4) by IPCC; due to the great increases of the carbondioxide emissions, the average increase in surface temperatures until the year 2100 is
expected to be approximately 3 Co, or somewhere between 2 Coand 4.5 Co. In addition, many
scenarios anticipate that an increase of 0.2 Co/10 years would take place for the next 20 years
(Türkeş, 2007: 50). And it is claimed that sea levels would rise by 0.1 -0.9 metres between
1990 and 2100 (EEA, 2003: 94).
As well as the reports prepared by Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change to give insight
on the current situation, various scenarios are being prepared on the future of global warming
and on emission reduction. IPCC’s greenhouse gas emission reductionscenarios were included
in its first assessment report in 1990. These initial scenarios, prepared for the 1990-2100
period, were updated with a greater scope and published in 1992. These emissionscenarios
known as “IS92”,deal with atmospheric composition and it’s effects on the climate. The aim
of these studies is; to determine the expected greenhouse gas emission increases until 2100
and the related green house gas rates in the atmosphere; to determine the regional distribution
of changes caused by global warming and rain regimes stemming from increased greenhouse
gasses, by employing these values in various climate models, to determine land and sea
temperatures and to determine the possible consequences of climate change.
Following the initial scenarios, IPCC has accepted to prepare a new emissionscenario in1996.
These new scenarios are named Special Report on Emission Scenarios (SRES). In
IPCC’sSRES Report published in2001 and 2007, there are four different scenariofamilies.
The details of these scenarios were explained in the 2001 report, and updated in the 2007
report. These scenarios are A1, A2, B1 and B2 scenarios.
A1 Scenario Group is based on the assumption that the world economy would develop rapidly
by the use of new and more effective technologies, population increase would reach its
highest value at mid-centuryand then decrease. The emphasized areas in thisscenario family
are such issues as the interregional intimacy due to the important decreases in regional
differences on income per person, capacity growth, and increase in cultural and social
relations. A1 Scenario group includes sub scenarios on different developments in energy
systems such as A1FI (fossil intense energy technologies), A1T (non fossil-sourced energy
use) and A1B (a balanced distribution between all sources) (IPCC, 2007a: SPM, s:18).
170

�3rd International Symposium on Sustainable Development, May 31 - June 01 2012, Sarajevo

A2 Scenario Group is based on an unbalanced and slow economic growth with a rapid
increase in population, a non-homogenous world, with a structure where no special measures
are taken against global warmingand environmental change issues.
B1 Scenario Group, is based on the same assumptions as A1 scenarios but anticipates an
economic growth which does not need over consumption of energy, with an emphasis on
service sector. In this scenario, clean technologies based on more effective use of sources
shall be used.
And finally, B2 Scenario Group; it has an approach where economic, social and
environmental capacitiesare mainly solved at a local scale (IPCC, 2007a: SPM, s:18).
IPCC scenarios’ anticipations on world population and economy are given in the below table:

In the Special Report on Emission Scenarios (SRES) prepared by IPCC, carbon-dioxide
andothergreenhouse gasemissions are predicted to be increased at important levels during the
next century. According to the report, global temperature would rise by 0.2 C 0per 10 years,
for the next 20 years (IPCC, 2007a: 12). Temperature increases and sea level changes
projected for the 21st century are given in Table 1.3.

According to (B1) scenario where global warming level is the lowest, it is estimated that the
temperature increase in 2090-2099 period would be 1.8 C0when compared to 1980-1990
period. The temperature increase during the period in subject is expected to be in the range of
1.1 C0and 2.9 C0. According to this scenario, it is calculated that the sea level would rise
between 0.18 - 0.38 metres. And according to the A1FI scenario where global warming level
is at its highest, world surface temperature isexpected to rise by 4 C0, while an increase of
0.26 - 0.59 metres is anticipated in the sea level. This has been shown in Figure 1.6.
Figure 2: Change Trend in Sea Levels

Source: IPCC, 2007a. s:409-410.
In the first part of Figure 2, changes in the sea level based on 1980-1999 are given. The period
covering the years 1800 - 1870 is an estimation, while the figures for the period 1870–2000 is
based on apparatus measurements (Tide Gauge). Sea level change values for the 2000–2100
period have been estimated by using the SRES A1B scenario. The second part of the panel
has been acquired by using the annual mean sea level values. Values for 1870 - 1950 period
have been extracted from Church and White (2006)’s work, while post-1950 values have been
extracted from Holgate and Woodworth (2004), and Leuliette et. al. (2004)’s work, and they
are within 90%confidence interval.
According to SRES Scenarios, the increase in atmosphericdensity of carbon-dioxide emission,
increases the acidity levels of the oceans. According to estimates, PH values of the oceans
would decrease during the 21st Century by 0.14 and 0.35. Lowered pH values of the oceans
means an increase in the acidity levels. With an increased acidity level and temperature,
oceans would lose their ability to absorb carbon over time (IPCC, 2007a. SPM, s:14).
4. Worldwide Trend and Reasons for Increase of Greenhouse Gas Causing Climate
Change
Humankind is faced with the enigma of global warming and climate change, by using the
nature to acquire the raw materials for his never ending demands, using fossil sourced energy
172

during production phase, wastes released to the nature during production and consumption
phases, increase in world population, damages occurred to the environment and forests. When
evaluating these situations as a general, global warmingandclimate change issues are human
sourced issues.
In Table3, human sourced distribution of greenhouse gas emissions per country, and the total
amount in a world scale in 2009 have been given. As Table 3 indicates, the top five countries
with highest greenhouse gas emissions are China, America, India, Russia and Japan. These
countries have a total emission of 16,235 Million Tonnes of CO2e, and their share in total
greenhouse gas emission is 51.9%. Turkeyon the other hand, had a CO2e emission of 256
Million Tonnes in2009, and in total greenhouse gas emissions, Turkey’s share is eight per
mille (% 0.8).

As Figure 3 indicates, Turkey’s carbon emission of 187 Mt CO2e in 1990 has increased by
58% and became 297 Mt CO2e in 2000. The rate of increase has slowed down since 2000and
it became 369,7 Mt CO2e in 2009, an increase of 24%. Since 2000’s, with the introduction of
“transition to the strong economy program”, there have been great increases in GNP, export
and import values (for instance; export increase 255%, import 154%andGNP 471% running,
and 34%fixed), but still, emissionincrease was highly reduced in 2000-2009, compared to
1990-2000. We may assume that this decrease was contributed by efficient use of energy, use
of renewable energy, and use of natural gas as fuel type.
In Figure 4, greenhouse gas emissions per sector to be used for the 2009 analysis are given.
These values were prepared by TUİK (2011) for the “NationalGreenhouse
GasEmissionInventory Report”. Electricity production sector (EL) is leading the table with a
93,3 Mt CO2e emission, and makes up 25% of the total emissions. Coal mining (CO) sector is
in second place with 71,1 Mt CO2e emissionand makes up for 19% of the total emissions.
Sectoral transportation (TR) on the other hand has an emission of 45,2 Mt CO2e. When we
look at the top three sectors; electricity production, coal mining and transportation sectors
produce 57% of total emissions. 2002 data indicate that, electricity production, coal mining
and transportation sectors are again occupying the top three places in emissions.

2009 Sectoral Emissions (369,6 Mt Co2e)

Source: TUİK (2011) NationalGreenhouse Gas EmissionInventory Report data have been
created and classified by the authors per sector. *:Emission values exclude Lulucf.
Considering Turkey’s TUİK (2011) National Greenhouse Gas EmissionInventory
Report,average greenhouse gas increase rates for the 1990-2009 period is 97.64%and annually
5.13%.With the help of 2002 and 2009 sectoral greenhouse gas distribution, calculated from
“National Greenhouse Gas Emission Inventory Report” in Figure 4, we may be able to
calculate sectoral greenhouse gas distributionfor 1990. If we apply the 5.13% increase for the
1990-2009 period to the calculated emissionvalues, we may acquire the sectoral and general
greenhouse gas emissions for the period leading up to 2020, which is given in Table 4.

As Table 4 indicates, 2009 emission rate was 369,7 Mt CO2e, and according to the 1990-2009
increase scenario of 5.13% (As of 2012, the latest emissionwas given for 2009), this emission
rate is anticipated to become 475,4 Mt CO2e in 2020. This is much lower than 604 Mt CO2e,
foreseen by the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (Ministry of Forestry and Hydraulic
Works) by using the MAED/ENPEP model, however, it is in accordance with the 421 Mt
CO2e value, foreseen by the European Commission using PRIMES model. Considering that
the MAED/ENPEP model does not reflect the energy assumptions reality and that the model
results are different than the actual values, it would be more realistic to use European
Commission’s PRIMES model.

The increase in greenhouse gas is slower in 2000-2009 when compared to the 1990-2000
period. In 2000-2009 period, greenhouse gasincrease rate was 24,45%, while annual increase
rate was 2,71%’dir. If we were to estimate 2020 emissions based on annual increase rates of
2,71%, we reach the findings given in Table 7.3. As Table 5 indicates, 2009 emission rate was
369,7 Mt CO2e, and by using the 2000-2009 period’s 2.71% increase scenario, this emission
value would reach 458,4 Mt CO2e by 2020.

In this part of the study, greenhouse gasemission projections would be made by
mathematical models. By using the 1990-2009 period greenhouse gas amounts published by
TUİK, linear, parabolic, cubic andexponential forecasts have been made and given in Table6.
It is clearly seen that different methods produce different emissionvalues.

As Table 6 indicates, according to the results reached by the help of linearequation; Turkey’s
greenhouse gas emission would be 430MtCO2e in 2015, 479 MtCO2e in 2020 and575
MtCO2e in2030. According to the results reached by the help of parabolicequation;
Turkey’sgreenhouse gasemission would be 441MtCO2e in 2015, 498 MtCO2e in 2020
and620 MtCO2e in 2030. And according to the findings reached by the help of exponential
equation; Turkey’sgreenhouse gasemission would be474MtCO2e in 2020, 565MtCO2e in
2015 and 803 MtCO2e in 2030.
The acquired findings are much less than the 604 Mt CO2e value forecast by the Ministry of
Environment and Forestry (Ministry of Forestry and Hydraulic Works) by using the
MAED/ENPEP model, however, they are in accordance with the 421 Mt CO2e value,
foreseen by the European Commission using PRIMES model. Considering that the

7. Result and Discussion
180

�3rd International Symposium on Sustainable Development, May 31 - June 01 2012, Sarajevo

There is no emission reduction commitment for the first Kyoto period covering the
1998-2012 period for Turkey, who is on the full membership process for European Union.
However, Turkey is expected to be committed for the Post-Kyoto period covering post-2012.
Considering that emission reductions would have economic costs, anticipation of emission
trend, the level of commitment and choosing the best policy for emission reduction would be
highly important for the decision makers.
In our study, the anticipated emission trend for Turkeyhas been given by the help of
different mathematical models. According to the findings reached by the help of linear
equation; Turkey’sgreenhouse gasemission would be, 430MtCO2e in 2015, 479 MtCO2e in
2020 and 575 MtCO2e in 2030. This result is in line with the 421 Mt CO2e value for 2020,
forecasted by the European Commission using the PRIMES model. Even though different
methods produce different results, it is thought that the results acquired by the linear equation
are more consistent.

                <text>Within the context of sustainable development objectives, reducing greenhouse gas emissions  (GHG) that cause climate change was first discussed and officially negotiated at the 1992 Rio  Conference, which particularly emphasised developed countries to take serious measures.  Then, it was followed by the Kyoto Protocol, which specified national ghg emission reduction  targets for developed countries. With Kyoto Protocol, it was decided for these countries to  reduce global emissions by 5% below 1990 levels compared to 2008-2012 emission levels.  Turkey became a party to the Kyoto Protocol in 2009, yet due to their special circumstances  they did not take any emission reduction commitments.. Negotiations on Post-2012 emission  reduction obligations are still in progress under the UNFCCC umbrella and it is expected to  have emission reduction targets not only by developed countries but also by developing ones.  In this regard, it is important for Turkey to estimate its future ghg emissions, if they have to  take a Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMA) for their strategy. There are  various ghg emission estimations for 2020 and the results indicate different emission levels.Objective of this study is to estimate ghg emission levels for Turkey for 2020 and afterwards  by using time series and regression analysis. Then, appropriate policy implications are  discussed with the result of these findings.  Keywords : Carbon Emissions, Time Series Analysis, climate change policy,emission projections</text>

�3rd International Symposium on Sustainable Development, May 31 - June 01 2012, Sarajevo

Since religion, a need for a person, who is a member of a community, presents itself as a
reality of a society as well. Sustainable development aims at protecting and exploiting natural
resources in the most effective way. The concept of sustainable development put forward
with no hesitation entails its implementation in all societies throughout the world and requires
governments to take responsibilities for this matter. Sustainable development gives priority to
a person’s health, happiness and adaptation to his environment. It is out of question to
separate or isolate religion, one of the most prominent features of life forms, from the social,
cultural or economic dynamics of a community.
Our religion, Islam, which regards happiness of individuals and societies as essential in the
world and hereafter, sets rules to live our lives in harmony and in a well-balanced way. It also
orders us to sensibly spend what we have earned according to the limits of thrift. Everyone is
going to be asked to answer the questions of how he made a living, where and how he spent
it. While spending his money, he is required to take his needs, instead of his wills, into
consideration and not to spend too much or waste it by staying away from any extreme
expenditure. Apart from the warning against spending on the areas forbidden by the religion,
there is insistence on being thrifty and frugal.
Extravagance/waste is one of the most serious dangers that a sustainable development
economy can ever confront. Since as an outcome of waste, individuals and naturally
communities will start to lose all the facilities and things they have already possessed, and
face the challenges and deprivations ensued from their absence. They will turn out to be a
dependent population. Today, while people are starving in many parts of the world, it is hard
even to state the limits of the waste that some of us have caused.
We should not neglect that we can make use of our religion’s, Islam’s, orders and
prohibitions in order to stop waste and encourage to be frugal in the work process of
sustainable development economy. We have tried to explain in detail the hadiths, our
Prophet’s statements, and verses which are the essential references of our religion.
Keywords: Thrift, Religion, Verse, Hadith, Sustainable Development, Waste
1.INTRODUCTION
Sustainable development has the meaning of programming today’s and tomorrow’s
life and development in such a way that it maintains the balance between humans and nature,
responds to the needs of next generations and facilitates their development without depleting
natural resources. Sustainable development is a concept with social, ecological, economic,
spatial and cultural dimensions. This is a process of progress that increases life standards by
focusing on such subjects which aim to diminish the disaster risks as economical
development and preserving ecological system along with socio-cultural progress, political
stability and determination.
While defining sustainable development, the most significant factor may be the
balance between ‘today’ and ‘tomorrow’. For the generations of both today and the future, it
is of importance to reach economical, social and ecological aims, that is, developmental aims
in awell-balanced way. Long-term planning and thinking.
Each person has the duties and responsibilities to his Creator, prophet, the religion he
serves, himself, spouse, children, parents, siblings, natural environment and society. A person
319

�3rd International Symposium on Sustainable Development, May 31 - June 01 2012, Sarajevo

is going to be questioned for what he has done with his eye, ear, hand, foot and heart along
with all the knowledge, actions, spiritual and physical blessings given to him.
“Our religion taking individual and social peace and happiness as a basis sets rules to
live life in a balanced way and orders to properly use what we have earned with respect to the
criteria of thrift. Each person is going to be asked how he has earned his life and what he has
spent his savings on. He has to consider his needs rather than desires while sending his
savings. Expenditure is banned in the areas prohibited by Allah; and the principle of not
wasting is set for the situations permitted by the religion”. (Ergenekon, 1996)
Our religion is such a religion that never permits abuse or colonialism as extreme
wealth and luxurious expenditure are banned by Islam. Prevention of expenditure on luxury
could not encourage capital accumulation as much as it was in the west since such transfers
of financial assets as offerings and alms forestalled getting extremely rich and maintained a
well-balanced fiscal distribution in society.
Allah states in one verse “ Your riches and your children may be but a trial: whereas
Allah, with Him is the highest, Reward.”.(at-Teğabun, 64/15)
This verse demonstrates that property is sedition. Here, sedition means a matter of
testing. Otherwise, if its literal meaning was taken into consideration, it would be necessary
to get rid of world’s assets. However, our Almighty Lord orders Muslims to work for the
world as much as they should do for hereafter. Displaying property as sedition, He implies
the anarchy and depression caused by not being able to use it to good advantage. In one
account, while walking, our Prophet and his friends came across with a young man working
very ambitiously. When some said “I wish this young man was working for something
related to hereafter instead of worldly”, our Prophet said: “Don’t say so; if he is working in
order not to go around begging or need someone’s help, he is on Allah’s track. If he is
making a living for his old parents or children, he is still on Allah’s track. However, if he is
working to show off or swing the lead, he is on devil’s track.”
Spending the physical and spiritual belongings in vain is called extravagance.
Therefore, if a person unduly spends his money, property, time or natural resources, what he
does is extravagance. In other words, it is also called waste.
Millions or billions of dollars goes for nothing owing to extravagance, the varieties
and damages of which are too many to count. Therefore, a man who witnesses people and
children starving does not choose food, throw bread into the bin, waste food. Besides,
considering the cities and countries in shortage of water does not waste energy. As being
aware of the people who cannot make ends meet, he does not care luxurious goods and does
not waste his money.
Varieties of waste: waste in food and drink, clothes, time, information, health, energy
resources, etc.
Thrift is necessary not only for particular social strata but all individuals of a society
as well. For this reason, thrift spreading in all social strata allows the middle class to get
stronger.
“Three significant tenets of Islam played an important role in the course of economic
development.
The first of these tenets is the basis that all the things on the Earth are created for all
humans. The second important principle is the one that prevents luxury and grandeur (the
principle that bans the building to show off). Finally the third principle is the one that
320

�3rd International Symposium on Sustainable Development, May 31 - June 01 2012, Sarajevo

ascertains the necessity of learning and teaching all kinds of science and knowledge. It also
underscores that keeping such knowledge hidden is forbidden by the religion”. (Bilgiseven,
1987)
The Almighty Allah has created all the beauties and blessings for us. We have been
trusted with all these beauties and blessings given by Allah. All the blessings Allah has
granted on us such as life, health, children, property, title, etc. could be test items. We are
going to be questioned if we wasted them and how we used those blessings. Regarding to our
topic, Allah says “Then on that day you shall most certainly be questioned about the boons.”
(Tekasür, 102/8)
On this topic, our prophet also said that: On Judgement Day, no one can move away
from his tracks unless he is questioned about where he spent his life, his actions, how he
made a living, what he spent his money on, how he used his body and health (Tirmizi,
Kıyame, 1)
One of the tenets our glorious religion, Islam, adopts is being economical and
moderate. Being economical and moderate amounts to one being prudent about everything
including spending, talking, drinking and eating.
“The opposite is waste. Waste means going to the extremes in any subject, deviating
from the right and true, transgressing the limits, spending the chances and assets on
unnecessary things or abundantly.” (Yazır, 1992)
In short, waste means spending the blessings a person possesses unduly and
extremely ( Şamil, İslam Ans. “İsraf” ) In Islam, waste is banned by verses and hadiths. “O
Children of Adam! wear your beautiful apparel at every time and place of prayer: eat and
drink: But waste not by excess, for Allah loveth not the wasters”. (Araf, 7/31 )
“And give to the near of kin his due and (to) the needy and the wayfarer, and do not
squander wastefully. Surely the squanderers are the fellows of the Shaitans and the Shaitan is
ever ungrateful to his Lord. ”( İsra, 17/27 ) Verses clearly display this ban.
The verse describes waste as ingratitude to Allah and the ones doing so as Satan’s
sibling, which proves how horrible ‘extravagance’ or ‘being lavish’ is.
Our prophet says “Eat, drink, wear and give alms without being arrogant or without
wasting” (Buhari, Libas, 1)
This hadith attracting our attention gives an opinion about how meticuluous Islam is
on the subject of ‘waste’. Our prophet once visited Sa’d, one of his friends. Meanwhile, Sa’d
was performing his ablution. When Resulüllah noticed that he was using water more than
necessary, he asked what the waste was that. When Sa’d asked whether there was waste in
performin ablution, our prophet responded “Yes, even if you perform your ablution in
flowing river” (İbn Mace, Taharet, 48). Our religion asked us not to overuse water even from
a flowing river even for religious services.
The Almighty Allah created everything in balance. Humans must be moderate in all
areas of life including expenditure.
Islam takes the necessity as a basis in spending money, goods and property; and bans
spending in vain. Expenditure must be correlated with the necessity, not income. Even if our
income incresases, our expenditure should not go beyond the limits of our necessity. Just like
in all areas, Islam orders to be moderate by staying away from the extremes of being lavish or
stingy. In our religion, this criteria is regarded one of the features of a perfect Muslim.
321

�3rd International Symposium on Sustainable Development, May 31 - June 01 2012, Sarajevo

As regards to the topic, Allah says: “Make not thy hand tied (like a niggard's) to thy
neck, nor stretch it forth to its utmost reach, so that thou become blameworthy and destitute.”
( İsra, 17/29 ) In another verse:
” Those who, when they spend, are not extravagant and not niggardly, but hold a just
(balance) between those (extremes).” (Furkan, 25/67 ). In the verse, while being mean and
lavish is criticised, being moderate is praised; and this attitude is mentioned is one of the
features of Allah’s slaves.
When we look at the verses and hadiths, it is clear that we are asked not to waste our assets,
goods, properties while buying what we need. And this way of acting is emphasized as one of
the features of a perfect Muslim.
“O Children of Adam! wear your beautiful apparel at every time and place of prayer:
eat and drink: But waste not by excess, for Allah loveth not the wasters.” stated in Araf 7/31.
In the verse, on the one hand a person is ordered to eat and drink and on the other
hand not go to extremes in those actions. In other words, just like in everything, there must be
a moderate way even for eating and drinking.
“He may say (boastfully): "Wealth have I squandered in abundance !. " Thinketh he that none
beholdeth him?" (Beled, 6-7)
As stated in the verse below, negligent people ignore a simple fact: Our Holy Lord
has granted countless blessings to humans including flesh, air, food, the devices they use.
Whatever is on the earth and heaven along with all visible and invisible grants and
livelihoods is at his disposal. A man’s duty is to use what has been given to him in a
moderate way and not to waste In the Koran, Allah warns that humans are going to be
questioned about the blessings given to them in hereafter with the question “Then on that day
you shall most certainly be questioned about the boons.” (Tekasür, 102/8)
In the Koran, Allah says, “O Children of Adam! wear your beautiful apparel at
every time and place of prayer: eat and drink: But waste not by excess, for Allah loveth not
the wasters.” (Araf, 7/31) He also states the believers should benefit the blessings and forbids
their waste. However, it should be underscored that not wasting does not amount to rejecting
the wealth, limiting the expenditure on the areas that Allah gives permission or being unfair
to ourselves. The single criteria here should be whether the expenditure has been for Allah’s
will or not.
Muslims both thank for the blessings and be very careful about not wasting.
Considering the verse, “Those who, when they spend, are not extravagant and not niggardly,
but hold a just (balance) between those (extremes).” (Furkan, 25/67), they use food, water,
clothes, things provided by technology as much as they need.
2.CONCLUSION
Extravagance harms both an individual and the whole society. This leads our family
and nation to be poor. A lavish person always tries to spend money recklessly. As he is used
to spending money a lot, when he is short of money, he tries illegal ways to make money.
Sometimes, he becomes a burden on the shoulders of his family, society and country since he
is in despair help of the others. It is quite often to see such occasions in society. Wasteful
people and nations get disappointed sooner or later. They find themselves in the abyss of
despair and hopelessness.
322

�3rd International Symposium on Sustainable Development, May 31 - June 01 2012, Sarajevo

Not only individuals, countries and nations could be prodigal as well. Prodigality
even depletes seemingly countless troves. I could deplete forests, ores, water and sources of
petrol and electricity. The exhaustion of such reserves causes those nations to be in need of
the others.
The negative effects of waste become more influential in today’s financial life. In
the old days when economies depend on agriculture, the discrepancy between welfare and
poverty was not as visible as it is a present. In today’s industrialised communities which are
transforming into communities of information, there are people who live far beyond the level
welfare along with the ones trying to survive in abject poverty. Over industrialism, arms race
and insatiable greed of the colonialists to find more raw materials damaged the agricultural
areas which have a vital importance on the Earth. Therefore, the West’s finances which
currently depend on over consumption and waste confront dire straits. Such troubles affect all
the economies in the globalized world. Although the west have managed to maintain
financial welfare so far, they admit that at present resources are limited; water and food with
a crucial role in conserving prosperity have always been wasted recklessly and from now on
humans do not have the luxury of squandering.
For a society to survive, individuals have duties to the community they live in.
Besides it is essential to keep social balance and peace and to ward off any factor that may
cause tension among people.
Sustainable development aims to the protection and effectively use of natural resources. The
concept of sustainable development put forward with no hesitation entails its implementation
in all societies throughout the world and requires governments to take responsibilities for this
matter. . It is out of question to separate or isolate religion, one of the most prominent
features of life forms, from the social, cultural or economic dynamics of a community. It is
out of question to separate or isolate religion, one of the most prominent features of life
forms, from the social, cultural or economic dynamics of a community.
Our religion Islam, focusing on the peace of individuals and society both in the
world and hereafter, sets rules to live life in a well-balanced way, and orders us to duly spend
what we earn by paying attention to the criteria of thrift. A person is going to be asked how
he made a living, how and on what he spent his money. Our religion asks us to take our needs
into consideration rather than our desires when it comes to spending, and also we are
encouraged not to waste or go to the extremes. There should be no expenditures on the areas
forbidden by the religion and there is strong insistence on being thrifty and moderate.
We have tried to explain in detail the hadiths, our Prophet’s statements, and
verses which are the essential references of our religion. In this study, we have tried to
emphasize that from the perspective of sustainable development economy, the factor of
religion affects communal incidents in our social life. Since religion, a need for a person, who
is a member of a community, presents itself as a reality of a society as well.
We should not ignore that we can make the most of our religion’ s orders and prohibitions as
regards thrift and preventing waste in the process of sustainable development economy.

Abstract
The origin of term sustainable development comes from forestry and it means the extent of
cutting and putting the new trees on the planet. Synonymous for it is sustainability and it
refers to ability to endure as much longer as it is possible. This paper shows the degree of
correlation between sustainable development in Bosnia and Herzegovina and five
macroeconomic determinants: unemployment, export, import, average salaries and CPI as a
measure for inflation. The paper provides information about importance of economy in this
process and it explains all variables that are used. It is based on the period of five consecutive
years (2007-2011). Research for all of five variables was conducted on monthly basis for this
period, so in total it provides 58 data (January and February of 2007 are excluded) for each
variable. Next thing that this paper shows is the current position of the country in terms of its
development. The paper represents a combination of basic research (provides a lot of useful
information about the topic) and quantitative research (shows numerical results that are
gotten by the analysis of the problem). Unemployment, as one of the biggest and growing
problems in the country, is dependent variable and paper tries to prove relationships among
this variable and the others. Results in the paper are obtained through descriptive analysis.
The paper provides data about causes for high unemployment in our country and it shows
how much impact each variables mentioned above have or does it have at all. Finally, paper
shows on what country should put more emphasize in order to improve its current position
and to be able to compete with more developed countries.

                <text>In this study, we have tried to emphasize that from the perspective of sustainable  development economy, the factor of religion affects communal incidents in our social life.Since religion, a need for a person, who is a member of a community, presents itself as a  reality of a society as well. Sustainable development aims at protecting and exploiting natural  resources in the most effective way. The concept of sustainable development put forward  with no hesitation entails its implementation in all societies throughout the world and requires  governments to take responsibilities for this matter. Sustainable development gives priority to  a person’s health, happiness and adaptation to his environment. It is out of question to  separate or isolate religion, one of the most prominent features of life forms, from the social,  cultural or economic dynamics of a community.  Our religion, Islam, which regards happiness of individuals and societies as essential in the  world and hereafter, sets rules to live our lives in harmony and in a well-balanced way. It also  orders us to sensibly spend what we have earned according to the limits of thrift. Everyone is  going to be asked to answer the questions of how he made a living, where and how he spent  it. While spending his money, he is required to take his needs, instead of his wills, into  consideration and not to spend too much or waste it by staying away from any extreme  expenditure. Apart from the warning against spending on the areas forbidden by the religion,  there is insistence on being thrifty and frugal.  Extravagance/waste is one of the most serious dangers that a sustainable development  economy can ever confront. Since as an outcome of waste, individuals and naturally  communities will start to lose all the facilities and things they have already possessed, and  face the challenges and deprivations ensued from their absence. They will turn out to be a  dependent population. Today, while people are starving in many parts of the world, it is hard  even to state the limits of the waste that some of us have caused.  We should not neglect that we can make use of our religion’s, Islam’s, orders and  prohibitions in order to stop waste and encourage to be frugal in the work process of  sustainable development economy. We have tried to explain in detail the hadiths, our  Prophet’s statements, and verses which are the essential references of our religion.

Abstract
Hydroelectric power plants (HPP), which are not cause environment pollution relatively and
renewable, inexpensive, has increased importance. However, there are positive and negative
impacts on the ecological balance of these systems. One of the main environmental impact of
hydropower development is related to fish passage both upstream and downstream.
190

�Hydroelectric power plants (HPP) adversely impact both fish biodiversity and local fishing
communities. Ecosystem change destroys feeding as well as breeding grounds, with a
resultant loss of fish species. Where the movement of migratory fish up and down river is
affected by hydropower development, fish hatcheries near the dam sites or fish ladders for
fish movement should be considered as mitigation options. Local user groups and other
stakeholders should be involved in decision-making, to keep good relations concerning
peoples‘ livelihoods and the sustainability of aquatic resources. The fish maintain the
existence with feeding and reproduction migration of fish, a sufficient amount of water flows
in the stream bed and with proper planning of fish ways. Depending on aquatic habitat and
fish movement corridor values and other site characteristics, use of culvert fishways may
preclude the need to adopt over-conservative and unnecessarily expensive designs using
bridges. The suitability of culvert fishway facilities in meeting fish passage and other
multipurpose design requirements can be demonstrated for numerous waterway types and
structure configurations, and particularly for retrofit facilities. Recognising the need for
ongoing design development and evaluation of fish passage facilities for road crossings and
other waterway structures and for innovative solutions to address aquatic fauna connectivity
barriers. The remaining water in the line of river, life line support will allow to the presence of
fish in streams continue. Transverse structures to do with the river flow as well as standing
water and thus fish would have the opportunity. The development and increase the number of
aquatic species, fish would be affected positively by increase the feeding.

1. INTRODUCTION
Environmental problems, which are eventuated during production and the use of energy, is
one of the main reasons to be disuse of old technologies. Coal, oil and natural gas power
plants threatens the world. The plants damages areas where they are established. Carbon
dioxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxide and dust, which are released into the atmosphere,
pollute the environment and cause to deaths when fossil fuels are burned. In addition, carbon
dioxide and other greenhouse gases cause to global climate change (Uyar, 2001).
Today, world population growth, water conservation and energy requirement is made a
current issue to construction of new dams and HEPP. The importance of dam and HEPP
gradually increase due to be cheap and renewable (Akkaya et al., 2009; Kocabaş et al. 2011).
Although, there are benefits use of water for renewable electricity generation, interactions
carry with the environment (Aksungur et al., 2011). The effects of hydroelectric power plants
is quite varied and HEPP cause to significant impacts on the area as physical, biological and
on human beings. Damages to natural life, destruction of local cultures and historic sites,
changes in water quality occurring in the river bed are some of adverse effects.
Hydroelectric power plants affect to aquatic life. Especially, fish are negatively affected from
the structures due to prevent migration of fish. Fishways are the most frequently used systems
in the world.
In review, environmental impact of hydroelectric power plants (HEPP) and importance and
design of fishways are presented.

�2. HYDROELECTRİC POWER PLANTS (HEPP)
Hydroelectric power plants (HEPP), which are not cause environment pollution relatively and
renewable, inexpensive, has increased importance. Hydroelectric powerplants do not use up
resources to create electricity nor do they pollute the air, land, or water, as other powerplants
may. Hydroelectric power has played an important part in the development of electric power
industry.
Growing populations and modern technologies require vast amounts of electricity for
creating, building, and expanding. In the 1920's, hydroelectric plants supplied as much as 40
percent of the electric energy produced. Hydropower is an essential contributor in the national
power grid because of its ability to respond quickly to rapidly varying loads or system
disturbances, which base load plants with steam systems powered by combustion or nuclear
processes cannot accommodate.
3. ENVİRONMENTAL AND SOCİAL IMPACTS OF HYDROELECTRİC POWER
PLANTS (HEPP)
Effects on animal populations (fauna) vegetation (flora) and the human, social and economic
problems, physical, biological impacts, problems of energy transmission lines are major
problems.
3.1. Effects on land
Physical environment is substantially affected by the construction of hydroelectric power
plants. Both the river and the surrounding ecosystem will change with beginning of the
construction studies. The changes can be listed as the topography changes, loss of farmland,
forest land, settlement and cultural field. Water will begin to accumulate in reservoir with
construction of barriers. Areas, which are used for agriculture, forestry and other purposes,
become unavaliable.
3.2. Ecological impacts
Ecological impacts can be listed as loss of fauna and flora (biotopes / biomass), habitat loss,
climate change, effects on water resources, groundwater and thermal effects, surface water
impacts, the soil and agricultural production, metals and other fossil resources, socioeconomic environment, landscape and recreation areas, noise, vibration impacts (work tools,
and blasting), ecosystem degradation, geological and soil impact, division of highway,
railway, waterway routes (Satılmış, 2009).
HEPPs have various effects on vegetation, especially during the construction phase. Negative
effects on vegetation such as direct destruction of vegetation, fragmentation of forests and
other natural ecosystems, destroying of aluvial / riperian vegetation occur during the
operation phase of the plants (Kurdoğlu and Özalp, 2010). Forests are important to the
continuity of water resources. The destruction of forests and fragmentation of valleys cause to
landslides and changes in flow rates of water.
Destruction of feeding and breeding areas, intraspecific and interspecific competition,
deterioration of habitats of wild animals, decreases in the number of rare species are adverse
effects on fauna. In addition, ongoing construction, blasting, construction equipment, a high
amount of dust in construction sites, noise and vibration cause to escape of wild animals to
other areas (Kurdoğlu and Özalp, 2010; Kocabaş et al., 2011).
To be inhibit of water flow in river will affect the amount and diversity of fish species.
Similarly, changes in mineral levels will adversely affect to aquatic productivity as a one192

�sided. Hydroelectric power plants affect to aquatic systems. Especially, fish are negatively
affected from the structures due to prevent migration of fish. Excavation, which are spilled to
river beds, cause to turbidity, temperature change of water and destruction of aquatic
organisms.
Destruction of spawning areas, changes in water flow rate due to drought, the oxygen
depletion as a result of high temperature cause to death of adult and juvenile fish. Fish have to
do short- long distance migration for feeding or reproduction depending on the season. The
migrations are a natural phenomenon for fish.
Changes in hydrology of estuary and flow rate of water because of water collection ponds
cause to changes in diversity of phytoplankton depending on changes in water quality.
Distrupting of food chain negatively affected to feeding of fish.
Life line support is another problem resulting from construction of hydroelectric power plants.
Life line support should be available in sufficient amount for the maintenance of natural life,
drinking and irrigation water and fish farms (Kurdoğlu and Özalp, 2010).
Construction of energy transmission lines for transmission of produced energy, destruction of
forests and distruption of ecosystems because of energy transmission lines are important
problem. Energy transmission lines cause adverse effects on human health because of high
voltage and currents, low frequency electromagnetic fields (Muluk et al. 2009).
3.3. Effects of hydroelectric power plants on fish and fishways
Fish have instinct to migrate long or short distances in streams due to feeding, reproduction
and sudden changes in the water quality (sudden rainfall, snow melting, etc.). Spawning
migration is the most important of these migrations. The migrations is very important for their
life cycle and the cycle should be maintain by fish. Catadromous species such as Blacksea
trout (Salmo trutta labrax), sturgeon (Acipenser sturio), pearl mullet (Chalcalburnus tarichii)
are hatched at sea but spends much of its adult life in freshwater streams. By contrast,
anadromous species such as salmon, eel fish (Anguilla anguilla), hatched upstream in a
freshwater environment but spend their adult lives at sea in the salt water. Some species such
as Capoeta sp., Barbus sp. migrate to water resource in the river for reproduction.
Water in small-scale hydroelectric power plants transport from river bed through the tunnels
or channels in order to provide adequate water downfall. Water completely remove from the
river bed. In this way, remaining as dry of river bed affect of these migrations. Serious
changes on the quality and quantity of water occur depending on seasonal, day, annual
climate change.
Fishways are facilitating structures to fish migration. Effectiveness of fishways and collectors
is tried to enhance due to prevent of fish migration of the structures. For this reason, studies
have been performed related to species-specific fishways for many years. Recently,
developed methods and monitoring systems are used to be maintain behaviour and migration
of fish (Aksungur et al., 2011). The use of artificial channels has also been the object of
recent development. Fish ladders technically can be built in such a way that mimic to nature.
In addition, there are technical solutions such as bypass channels and fish ramps, fish
elevators and transverse structures.

�4. CONCLUSIONS
Fish populations and the ecosystems of rivers and streams negatively affected from the
structures because of changes in the flow and quality of water. Lower levels of oxygen in the
water can present a threat to animal and plant life. However, these issues can be addressed if
fish ladders are put in place to ensure safe passage around the area, and the water is aerated on
a regular basis to maintain adequate oxygen levels safe for animal and plant life. The flow of
water should be monitored closely to prevent the ecological dangers associated with overstressing bodies of water. These dangers can easily be avoided by shutting down pumping
operations temporarily to allow balance to return to damaged ecosystems.
The suitability of culvert fishway facilities in meeting fish passage and other multipurpose
design requirements can be demonstrated for numerous waterway types and structure
configurations, and particularly for retrofit facilities. Recognising the need for ongoing design
development and evaluation of fish passage facilities for road crossings and other waterway
structures and for innovative solutions to address aquatic fauna connectivity barriers. The
remaining water in the line of river, life line support will allow to the presence of fish in
streams continue. Transverse structures to do with the river flow as well as standing water and
thus fish would have the opportunity. The development and increase the number of aquatic
species, fish would be affected positively by increase the feeding.

Abstract
Conservation fish stocks in the aquatic ecosystem is important for sustainable fish production.
Continuation of the fish species generations in a habitat is affected by environmental
conditions and hunting pressure. For the sustainability of the reproductive abilities of fishes, it
is essential to know interactions with the the other species that live in habitat. In this way the
production models, that encourage the fish to grow in its natural habitat, can be developed. In
this study, the fish species that live in Dikili Bay of Izmir City and their economic features
were investigated. Fish species that live in Dikili Bay were examined systematically and
biologically; also identification keys of the species were formed. Morphometric and meristic
characters of obtained species were identified. In the examination, 70 species belonging to 39
families were identified. 9 species of these belong to chondrichythyes and 61 to osteichtyes.
31 of these species are economically important species and are hunted. 2 of them (Sea bream
and sea bass) are farmed in Turkey, also. As a result of inadequate protection measures and
mindless hunting, it was observed 31 economically important and identified species, that live

in the Dikili bay, began to extinction day by day. Due to the sea bottom is sandy, it provides
appropriate conditions to trawl fishing. By hunting with this method leads to deterioration of
marine ecosystems. Unlike the other surface fishnets, the trawling disrupts the fish shelters
and nests and makes them irreversible. In this context, placement of an artificial fish shelters,
both will form habitat for fish and with this way trawling can be prevented partially. In
addition, to protect the natural balances of the economically important fish species, stock
enhancement programs, that used for terrestrial water resources, are able to apply for local
marine fish species. By the stock enhancement programs, the natural fish stocks will increase
and the sustainable fisheries will be provided in the natural environment.
Keywords: Dikili Bay, Sustainable Fisheries, fish stocks, stock enhancement, trawling.
1.INTRODUCTION
People used to use seas for two aims; fishing and trade since first ages. It is accepted by
everyone that seas contain a lot of biological sources which can be effective in all kinds of
lives of increasing world population. That's why the countries which have coasts to these seas
and their scientists have begun working on getting to know, introducing and saving those seas
which can be life savers and the biological sources in them, intensively. (Geldiay &amp; Kocatas,
2005)
Nowadays food and nutrition are the two main problems of people of the fast growing world
population. All studies and technologies are centered (intensified) on producing healthy food
sources and saving natural food sources. Especailly today, instead of breeding special kinds
(species), saving and retaining genetic variety in natural sources have special importance
besides aquacultural studies. The increase of endemic kind population which is important
especially in terms of biological variety and making them profitable financially have great
importance. On our unstabil earth, studies the continuity of the kinds (species) in natural
stocks (reserves) which have genetic composition with high variable adaptation ability will
provide a basis for the future studies.
At the same time, saving biological variety will provide a basis in gaining alternative kinds of
fish to the economy of our country in addition to existing cultivation.
Fish pricing with a wide inference (meaning), is improving (cultivating) the existing natural
source by artificial interference to the echosystem from outside. Commercially, fish pricing is
described (named) as increasing stocks of all kinds of water sources (like; river, lake, fishery,
dam, etc). Today escpecially in fishing, an important amount of product is gained from fish
pricing as a third way besides other two which are hunting and breeding from the natural
sources (Sezgin, 2006)
Sea pollution and the demand for water products have caused an excessive decrease of fish
stocks to meet the increase of pretein need with the growth of world population potential, and
biological variety in natural stocks has also been affected negatively.
In this study, the variety of fish, their place in systematic and biological features in Dikili Bay
are examined (searched) and the assingment key has been formed (created).

2.Materials and methods
Providing material (obtaining material)
The research has been carried out in about 12-month period, in Dikili Bay from August 2001
to September 2002. Collecting samples involved 15-day periods or monthly periods according
to the weather conditions.
Material has been provided by communicating (contacting) with trawl net and haul seine
boats which come to the fishing ports in the towns in Dikili, Izmir and the hunters hunting for
sports. Deep trawl net has been used for fishing demersal fish.
The depth of fishing places have been detected with sonar and echo-sounder devices. 28 meter
long, 820-HP-motor, 22 mm aperture size and 800 mesh, deep trawl, Reis Boat, which has
been registered to Trabzon Harbour and tied to Dikili was used.
2.1.Evaluating the samples
Collected samples have been washed immediately and got through %70 alcohol or %4
formaldeyde solution. The ones taken out from the sea have been recorded and photographed
before the process because of the colour corruption of the types (kinds) put in alcohol and
formaldeyde. In the recognition of the samples in the studies morfometric and meristic
characters have been used. For measuring the types' morphometric characters 0.5 mm
sensitivity vernier has been used. For detecting meristic characters binocular has been used.
As metric characters; total length (TL), body height (BH), Head length (HL), eye diameter
(ED), in addition to those for the fish which has disc shaped body with cartilage, disc width
(DW), and disc length (DL) have been measured. As disc width, the distance between the tips
of pectoral fins, and as disc length, the distance between the tips of muzo and pectoral fins are
measured. As meristic characters dorsal, anal, ventral and pectoral fin beams, dorsal and anal
pinules, pilork cheka, gill spines, lateral line, and lateral cycle (serial) scales have been
counted according to the types (kinds). Simple (spine) beams have been indicated (shown) in
Roman numerals, soft (branched) beams have been indicatged (shown) in normal numerals.
For the ones that have 5 or more samples body ratio is measured about %95.
Determining the morphologic characters Whitehead and ark.(1984-86) have been used.
In the research mostly the fish type which has been taken out with deep trawl exist. In
systematic order of the types from Dikili Bay GOLANI (1996) and for naming those types
Whitehead, ark.(1984-86), Fischer and ark.(1987), Wheeler (1992) have been based on.
2.2.Land Information
This study has taken place in the inner part of the line which connects Adatepe Cape and
Madra Stream which are between 39 10' 00'' N-30 02' 30'' N latitude and 26 46' 00'' E-26 48'
48'' E.

Dikili Bay is surrounded by Candarli Bay in south, Midilli Island in west and Edremit Bay in
north. It has a sandy ground. There is pebble and sand in the shallow parts and mud in the
deep. There are limnetic exists undersea. The study area is under the effect of coastal and
deep impure, local drifts, waves, topography of land, sea morphology and the materials that
rivers carry to the sea. (Eryilmaz &amp; Eryilmaz, 2007)
According to the morpholigical features Eagean Sea is divided into three different regions;
Northern part, Middle Part and Southern Part. The average depth of Northern Part is about
120-200m. (Tokac, et al. 2010)
2.3.Features of water
It has been observed that the heat of the water mass in Eastern Eagean sea is 9-26 degrees and
the amount of oxygen is 4-10 ml/l. (Artüz, 1970; Benli and Kucuksezgin, 1988; Ergin and
others, 1933a)
Bay is affected by the cold surface water coming from the Dardanelles and Marmara which
belongs Black Sea originally. 6-7 degrees difference exists between Norhtern Eagean and
Southern Eagean in winter. In summer there is no notable difference. The heat of the surface
water is 14-15 degrees under 200 m whereas it is variable (chageable). (Culha, 1994)
Saltiness is affected by Black Sea flows, it is less common than other regions of Eagean Sea.
(‰ 33) (Culha, 1994)
In accordance with nutritious salts it is seen that Northern Eagean is richer Black Sea and
Marmara. If we study the the vertical distribution of the nutritious salts, we see that the
concentration up to 200 m is low whereas in deeper parts which is more than 200 m, the
values of nitrate, phosphate and silicate increase. (Frilligos, 1981)

3. Discussion and result
In this study (research) the types of fish in Dikili Bay have been observed in the basis of bio
variability. In our country in 2003 463.074 tons of fish from the seas and 44.698 tons fish
from inland water were caught. In same year 79.943 tons of fish were bred. Breeding fish in
seas and inland waters has shown an increasing tendency until 2000 whereas has shown a
decreasing tendency in following years. The amount of fish bred by hunting has shown
fluctuation according to the years. Turkey imports noncultivated fish and exports cultivated
fish, mollusuc and shelled. The %70-80 of export ıs to EU countries like France, Germany
and Belgium and Japan is the second. In recent years the export to China has been increasing.
But first we should take caution to prevent environmental pollution and lessening the fish
stocks to take the potential of sea and inland water into consideration. Besides these, it is
necessary to introduce and encourage the methods (ways) of fish breeding in inlands and
reservoirs, developing economical fish types, to adapt the non-existing economic types in a
way which they won't harm fauna. (Karakas &amp; Turkoglu, 2005)
In the study in Bay the place of existing types has been appointed (signified) in systematic,
they have been observed biologically and the key of significance. In the study mostly the
types of fish which hunted by using deep trawl (deep troll) has been given place and totally
70 types of fish which belong to 47 class (breed) in 38 families have been assigned. 9 types of
those belong to the type of fish which are chondrinus and other 61 are bony.
According to the data of Dikili fishing association, the target types of fish which are assigned
as economical by the fishermen in Dikili are; sardine (Sardina pilchardus), atlantic bonito (or
skipjack tuna) (sarda sarda), red mullet (mullus barbatus), striped red mullet (mullus
surmuletus), pickerel (spicara smaris), bogue (boops boops), horse mackerel (trachurus
brachurus) and bluefish (pomatomus saltatrix) (Tokac, et al., 2010). Only atlantic bonito (or
skipjack tuna) (sarda sarda) hasn't been seen in this study.
Hunted types are demersal ones which pelagic and economical commonly hunted ones are
mainly sardine (Sardina pilchardus) and others are; Gilt-head bream (sparus aurata), red sea
bream (pagellus erythrinus), red mullet (mullus barbatus), striped red mullet (mullus
surmuletus), chub (mugil spp.), pickerel (spicara smaris), bogue (boops boops), horse
mackerel (trachurus brachurus) (Hossucu, et al., 2001)
With the suitable ones which will be chosen in Dikili Bay natural stock can be enriched.
It has been observed that the methods that applied up to now for restocking programmes are
mostly for the types which immigrate locally for short terms especially commercial types
related to benthic and demersal and half benthic environments successfully. It has been said
that for assigning the hunting strategies immigration in the enriching stock programmes is one
of the essential factors (Salvanes, 2001).
In fishing projects immigration is important for the chance of hunting again by the fishermen.
The Turbot (Psetta maxima) have been chosen for stock enriching programmes and
experimental studies in North Atlantic coastal region, Spain and Denmark and also in Turkey
Black Sea region (Bergstad and Folkvord, 1997), (Zengin vd, 2005).
Other important thing in the study of fishing is the chosen material and local place. The result
of taking the exotic and unfamiliar types to the natural environment afterwards and their
interaction and possible problems which may arise, can give harm to the balance of
ecosystem. For Turkey the most common example is the negative effect of population of
zander (pike-perch) (Stizostedion luciopreca) which was stocked in Egridir Lake, on other
151

�3rd International Symposium on Sustainable Development, May 31 - June 01 2012, Sarajevo

fish fauna and this has caused the lessening of local fish fauna in lake ecosystem for long
years (Anonim, 1991)
That's why for hunting in those areas should be banned during the season or should be limited
until it reaches to its minimum level. In addition to that minimum hunting level should be
processed in accordance with bio-economic value in hunting period. If necessary in this area
artificial reef should be built. On the other hand in fishing, the fishermen who help
(contribute) this project, can be given the right to fish and for the control of this a legal and
administrational regulation should be planned. In this area the most improved (developed)
model is Japan’s (Blankenship and Leber, 1995; Sato, 2001).
Since there is no study on the subject in Dikili, in which our studies take place, the
morphometric and meristic characters of the types haven't been compared.

Abstract
Product placement has become an important promotional mix element in recent years in Turkey.
Since audiences are skeptical towards commercials, advertisers have begun to turn to a variety of
alternative advertising channels in order to reach customers. One of the channels they have begun
to use more frequently in recent years is product placement, the placing of branded products in
movies and television programs alike. The aim of the study is testing a research instrument
appropriate for measuring product placement formation. The study proposes existence of
relationship between connectedness to the series and attitude towards product placements in the
series, and researches connectedness dimensions having effect on product placement. Research is
carried out in Antalya in 2011 with convenience sampling of 300 respondents. The questionnaire
form is an adopted version of connectedness scale developed by Russell et al. (2004).
Keywords: Product Placement, Brand Placement, Advertising, Promotion Mix, Soap Operas, TV

1.INTRODUCTION
Product placement has become an important promotion mix element in recent years. Since
audiences are skeptical towards commercials, marketers have begun to turn to a variety of
40

�3rd International Symposium on Sustainable Development, May 31 - June 01 2012, Sarajevo

alternative advertising channels in order to reach customers. One of the channels used in the last
two decades is product placement, the placing/usage of branded products in movies and
television programs alike.
The strategy of placing branded products in entertainment media is not a new concept as product
placement can be dated to 1890s, where Lever Brothers secured the placement of their branded
soaps in some of the earliest films made (Hudson and Hudson, 2006). Historically, starting in the
1930s, consumer product manufacturers invested in the production of radio programs to reach
their target audiences. This phenomenon was particularly visible in the "soap opera" genre. When
soaps moved to television in the 1950s, product placements became part of TV shows and series.
Product placement is an estimated $3.4 billion dollar industry and constitutes a part of the
marketing mix of over 1,000 brands in the United States (Russell and Belch, 2005).
Product placement strategies have evolved from the just showing the can approach to become
increasingly sophisticated formats, and are generally classified into three main types;
1. Implicit product placement; Implicit product placement refers to the placement of a
branded product within a television programme without being formally expressed. The
placement of a product can be as simple as a product being used in one scene. It plays a
passive and contextual role.
2. Integrated explicit product placement; A branded product that is formally expressed
within a television programme is defined as an integrated explicit product placement, it
plays an active role. In this type of product placement the benefits and attributes of the
product are clearly demonstrated. A brand being mentioned by a character in the story, or
a logo visible in the background of a frame.
3. Non-integrated explicit product placement; at the other extreme, a product placement can
be a critical and integral part of the movie (McCarty, 2004, p.47). In this type of
placement, a brand or product becomes a part of the plot or takes a major place in the
storyline. The subtlety of the connection between brand reference and plot is important.
Current wisdom when handling brand placement in movies is that the portrayal of the
brand must ‘tell a story’ because simply ‘showing the can’ does not offer a sufficiently
powerful narrative context to enhance the brand identity (Hackley, 2003).
There has been an increasing interest towards product placement in the last two decades. Previous
studies in the area of product placement have generally related to three topic areas: its’ effects on
audiences’ brand recall (Ong and Meri, 1994), recognition (Babin and Carder, 1996) and attitudes
(Vollmers and Mizerski, 1994), and the level of acceptance of product placement in general
(Gupta and Gould, 1997; d’Astous and Seguin, 1999; Russell, 2002). Although the effectiveness
of product placements in terms of how well they are remembered is measured by most of the
empirical studies, a limited number of research on understanding the psychological processes that
relate to product placement in relation to variables that will help researchers understand how
product placements works remains insufficient (McCary, 2004, p.57).
Researches show that brand placement was not related to behavior or brand evaluations. This
means that, although viewers do not remember that they saw a brand in a program or movie, they
do show more positive brand evaluations and more preference for the placed brand than viewers
who did not see the brand placement. This implies that explicit measures, such as recall, can
41

�3rd International Symposium on Sustainable Development, May 31 - June 01 2012, Sarajevo

show low scores, but at the same time, implicit effect measures can show high scores (van
Reijmersdal et al, 2009).
Russell (2002) states that memory is influenced by depth of processing such that more elaborate
processing facilitates the subsequent recall of information, that is, memory is greater when the
stimulus is spoken than when it is only visually presented. In addition the relationship between
memory and attitude is not straightforward: merely because a person remembers seeing or
hearing a brand in a show does not mean that his or her attitude toward that brand will change.
The congruency/incongruency literature provides insights into this nonlinear attitude-memory
relationship: when a brand's modality of presentation is not congruent with its level of plot
connection, viewers tend to think about the reason for the brand's presence in the show and raise
their cognitive defenses (Friestad and Wright 1995). When the modality and plot connection
match, the placement seems more natural and less effort is spent on analyzing why it is there,
thereby making access to persuasion knowledge less likely (Campbell and Kirmani, 2000). Also
the effects of involvement levels with the medium vehicle in which brands are placed are mainly
positive (Reijmersdal et al, 2009).
There are three theories that explain effects of brand placement.
1. Intentional exposure theory predicts the effects of commerciality of the placement on
attention and memory. This theory states that audiences primarily expose themselves to
media for the editorial content rather than for the advertising (Gupta and Lord, 1998; Van
Reijmersdal et al., 2005). When brands are integrated into editorial content, they profit
from the attention that is paid to the editorial content. As a consequence, brand
placements in editorial formats, as opposed to more commercial formats, gain more
attention and are better remembered (Cameron and Curtin, 1995; Lord and Putrevu, 1998;
Van Reijmersdal et al., 2005).
2. Source-credibility theory proposes that placements that are more editorial than
commercial are perceived as more credible. On the one hand, commercial content is not
perceived as credible because audiences know that advertisers have the aim to persuade
and to increase sales. This perception makes audiences more skeptical about commercials
than about editorial content, resulting in more negative attitudes to placements that are
commercial, and to less positive brand-related behavioral intentions (Becker-Olsen, 2003;
Lord and Putrevu, 1998).
3. Persuasion knowledge theory explains effects of brand placement prominence.
Prominence has positive effects on some outcomes but negative effects on others. On the
one hand, prominent placements lead to better memory than subtle placements (e.g.,
Babin and Carder, 1996; I. Brennan et al., 1999; Schneider and Corn-well, 2005).
Furthermore, the audience starts thinking about the reasons for the brand's presence when
brands are prominently placed (Matthes et al., 2007; Russell, 2002), which can activate
the audience's knowledge about persuasion techniques and influence attempts. People's
persuasion knowledge can make them realize that the brand is placed for commercial
reasons. This might lead to counter-arguing and skeptical attitudes toward the placement
(Balasubramanian et al., 2006; Matthes et al., 2007). Similarly, the effect of placement
length is predicted to be negative; when placements are too long, they are perceived as
intrusive and distracting from the media experience (Herandez et al., 2004).”

2.Research Method
2.1.Research Model
The study researches a branded product (a necklace) placed in a popular TV series (Aşk-ı
Memnu). The necklace is placed as an integrated explicit product placement strategy. The study
proposes existence of relationship between connectedness (Russell et al, 2004) to the series and
attitude towards product placements in the series, and researches connectedness dimensions
having effect on product placement.
Russell et al. (2004, p.152) define connectedness “as the level of intensity of the relationship(s)
that a viewer develops with the characters and contextual settings of a program in the parasocial
television environment”. The original connectedness scale captures 6 dimensions; Escape,
Fashion, Imitation, Modelling, Aspiration and Paraphernalia. Connectedness is assumed to have
effect on product placement, and higher the connectedness level the higher the positive attitude
towards product placement is expected (Russell et al., 2004). However, in this study, we
hypothesize that not all connectedness dimension have equal effect on attitudes towards product
placement, and research the relationships between connectedness dimensions and product
placement. We conduct correlation analysis and linear regression equation in order to
demonstrate the relationships. Thus, we hypothesize;
H1: Audiences connected to the TV series are more moderate to product placement.
H2: Connectedness dimension have different levels of effect on product placement.
2.2.Research Method
The research is carried out in Antalya in 2011 with convenience sampling of 328 respondents.
The questionnaire form is an adopted version of connectedness scale developed by Russell et al.
(2004). Attitudes towards product placement are measured with four items (Garza 2003). The
questionnaire form also contains items regarding demographics. Original connectedness scale and
attitude towards product placement scale are given in Table 1.

advertisers for placing their brands in movies?
I think it is unethical for movie producers to attempt to influence the audience by
including brand-name products in their movies?
I think that seeing the brand-name product in a movie makes the experience more
realistic?
3.ANALYSIS
3.1.Validity and Reliability of the Research Scale
In order to test reliability of the research scale Cronbach’s alpha is calculated both for
connectedness scale and attitudes towards product placement scale (Table 2). Cronbach’s alpha
value calculated for connectedness scale is 0,857, representing high reliability (the Cronbahc’a
alpha value calculated for the original connectedness scale is 0.84 (Russell et al. 2004, p.152)).
Cronbach’s alpha value calculated for connectedness scale is 0,527. However it represents low
level of reliability, it is still acceptable.

In order to ensure validity of the scale, previously validated scales are used (Russell et al. 2004;
Garza, 203). To test construct validity of the connectedness scale we have conducted exploratory
factor analysis. Rotated component matrix with varimax rotation is given in Table 3.
Connectedness scale items are collected under 5 factors/dimensions. Five dimensions explain
%69,8 of the total variance.
Results of factor analysis are as expected; all the items are collected under expected dimensions
except aspiration and paraphemalla. Items of aspiration and paraphemalla are collected under one
unique dimension. Instead of separating these two dimensions, analysis are continued with this
factor structure.

3.2.Analysis and Results
Using the exploratory factor analysis results, 16 items are collected under 5 dimensions;
Imitation, Aspiration/Paraphemalla, Fashion, Escape and Modelling. Arithmetic mean for each
dimension is calculated to be the representatives for the dimensions. Correlation and regression
analysis depend on these arithmetic means.

45

�3rd International Symposium on Sustainable Development, May 31 - June 01 2012, Sarajevo

In order to test H1, we have conducted correlation analysis (Table 4). Results of correlation
analysis show that all the dimensions (Fashion (0,227, p&lt;0,001), Imitation (0,136, p&lt;0,05),
Modelling (0,175, p&lt;0,01), Escape (0,118, p&lt;0,05) and Aspiration/Paraphemalla (0,286,
p&lt;0,001)) are correlated with attitude towards product placement. However correlations are
found to be very weak. Thus H1 is accepted, which means, there is a correlation between
connectedness dimensions and attitude towards product placement, however the relationships are
weak.

In order to test H2, we have conducted linear regression with enter method. Results of regression
analysis show that R2, which represents the explained variation, is calculated as 0,097. Thus,
9,7% of the variation in attitudes toward product placement can be explained by connectedness
dimensions. This is very low level of variation explained.
Although R2 value is very low, regression equation is found to be statistically significant
(p&lt;0,001), which means that our model is statistically significant. Upon inspection of regression
equation, it is understood that the only statistically significant relationship found is between
aspiration/paraphemalla dimension and product placement. Although statistically not significant,
imitation and escape dimension have negative effects on attitudes towards product placement,
and fashion and modelling dimension have positive effects. Aspiration/Paraphemalla dimension
is found to positively affect attitudes towards product placement; however it is weak (0,172).
Results of regression analysis results support H2, that is, connectedness dimensions have
different levels of effect on attitudes towards product placement. However, connectedness scale
cannot be used to explain product placement as the variation explained (R2) is very low.

4.CONCLUSION
Product placement offers alternative promotion mix tools for the advertisers. Although it is not a
new concept, it is new to Turkish producers and advertisers. Product placement is an estimated
$3.4 billion dollar industry in the United States (Russell and Belch, 2005). It is expected that
product placement practices in Turkey may increase in the near future.
The aim of the study is to test a research tool that can increase our knowledge about formation of
attitudes towards product placement. It is assumed that connectedness level to the series is related
to attitudes towards product placement. We have tested our hypothesis using correlation
coefficient and regression analysis. Although analysis are significant, correlation levels and
variance explained are found to be very low. Thus, we suggest that connectedness level has a
weak but statistically significant effect on attitudes toward product placement. Relationship level
47

is so low that, it may be inappropriate to use connectedness scale researching attitudes towards
product placement.

Abstract
In this study, different welding parameters are applied to two different steels with high alloys
and mechanical and metallographical investigations were performed. Thus, the optimum
welding parameters were investigated for these materials and working conditions. 12.30
diameter steel bars made up of 1.4871 (X53CrMnNiN219) &amp; 1.4718 (X45CrSi93) steel were
used as experimental material. The material loss increased with increase in friction and
rotating pressure. The highest hardness and fracture energy were obtained in B5 group.
Keywords: Friction Welding, Welding Parameters, Microstructure.
1. INTRODUCTION
Joining has increasingly been used in the material technology because materials having
different mechanical properties need to be efficiently joined to increase material’s
performance. The most suitable method of joiningtwo different alloyed steel is welding(Anık,
1983). After welding process, the properties of welding zone naturally becomedifferent from
the properties of alloyed steels andthis difference maycause someproblems.The use melting
welding methods, among many kinds of welding methods, has also increased these
29

problems(Yılmaz, 1993). Phase diagrams and properties of joining materials are important
factors in determining welding properties (Bargel and Schulze, 1988). Some problems also
arise because the materials to be joined are different alloys and some additionalcomponents
are needed to effectively join them. Many different zonesappear in connecting zone
depending on composition and material properties (Yılmaz, 1993). Deposite remain of the
melting welding methods,welding faults of porosity and inside tightens of cooling are the
important disadvantages of these methods and they reduce the strength of welding.
Therefore,solid statewelding methods are more suitable sincemelting welding faults do not
significantly occur there(Tülbentçi and Yılmaz, 1989).
Vill(1962) has conducteda study to determine optimum conditions of friction welding
parameters. He has determined that friction pressure coming from welding parameters are of
great importance,the cycling number of turning component’s sensitivity is the least
paramaterand it can be fixed in a wide space depending on the materials used.
Moreover,Tyleotehas determined that friction pressure affects the heat of space surface and
supplies the required moment.He has also determined that forging pressure and cycling
number are the most important parameters (Tylecote, 1968). It can be said that low welding
periods have supplied the best welding zone in low carbon steels,which requires applying
forging pressure of one second as well as applying high forging pressure (Lucas, 1971). Low
welding periods andhigh forging pressure values forma thinner grainular structure for low
carbon steels (Duffin and Crossland, 1971).In notch impact test results, better mechanical
propertieshave been obtained onhigh cycling numbers between 1200 and 4200 rpm according
to other constant parameters (Voinov, 1972). A friction pressure of 30-65 MPa, and a
forgingpressure of 75-140 MPamust be applied for low carbon steels and a friction pressure
of 70-210 MPaand a forging pressure of 100-420 MPa for medium carbon steels (Welding
Handbook, 1980).
In another study, Ishibashi et al. (1993) determined that forging pressure value must be
appliedtwice as much as that of friction pressure for stainless steels.Ina study on tool steels, it
has been advised that the welding temperature and in turn friction pressure should be high
enough so that no faults on welding zones will occur(Tanicheva, et al., 1989). Initally,
conventional arc welding and then solid state joining methods were applied on welding
processes of stainless steels (Gooch et al., 1996). Today, friction welding is one of the solid
state joining techniques used widely for stainless steels. Bol’shokov et al.(1972) reported that
friction welding on vacuum condition improved mechanical properties of joined materials.
With the technological development in the valve manufacturing industry, the exhaust valves
of normal and diesel engines are manufactured from two different types of steels. The
“handling” parts of exhaust valves are manufactured from 1.4718 (X45CrSi93) steel which is
tough, ductile and resistant against wearing due to friction while the “head “parts are
manufactured from 1.4871 (X53CrMnNiN219) steel which shows a very good resistance
against oxidation, and hot corrosion caused by lead oxide and other burning products. Today,
this steel couple is joined by friction welding(Uzkut, 1999). Friction welding is one of the
methods which have some considerable share among the other conventional welding
methods. The most important parameters in friction welding are friction time, friction
pressure, forging time, forging pressure and rotational speed (Uzkut, 1999; Şahin and Akata,
2003).
Welding faults in the valve manufacturingmay occur due to thermal and mechanical stresses.
Therefore, optimizing welding parameters are essential. The determination of optimum
welding parameters and joining zones will minimize these faults on welded parts (Uzkut,
30

�3rd International Symposium on Sustainable Development, May 31 - June 01 2012, Sarajevo

1999). In this study, optimum welding parameters of high alloyed X53CrMnNiN219 and
X45CrSi93 steels used in automotive industry were determined by joining friction welding
and by doing tensile, notch impact, metallography and microhardness tests.
2. EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES
X53CrMnNiN219 (1.4871) and X45CrSi93 (1.4718) high alloyed steels were used in the
experiments. Standards of materials are shown in Table 1,chemical composition of materials
in Table 2-3,standard measurements of welded tensile samples in Table 4, mechanical
properties of materials in Table 5.Rotation number (n) and forging time (t2) werekept
constant and friction time (t1), friction pressure (P1), and forging pressure (P2) had different
levels. Constant parameters and values for 12.3 mm diameter were determined as follows:
Constant parameters and values are as follows: experimental bar diameter is12.3 mm (H9),
during welding process,rotation number of spining parts is 3000 rpm, during machining
process,rotation number of spining parts is 1500 rpm, friction contact time is 0.4 s, brake
delaying time is 0.1 s, forging delaying time is 0.8 s, forging time is 2 s, friction pressure
rising time is 1 s, forging pressure rising timeis 1 s, and waiting time at the end of forging
time is 1 s. The levels of studied parameters were as follows: friction time (2.70, 3.70, or 4.70
s), friction pressure (138, 207, or 276), and forging pressure (345, 414, or 480 MPa).The
specimens subjected to friction pressureof 138 MPa is called group A, and friction pressure
of 207 MPa group B, and friction pressure of 276 MPa group C.
Tensile test, one of mechanical tests, was carried on by 5 tone capacity universal 1114 model,
INSTRON type depending on TS-138 (Turkish Standard). Tensile velocity was taken as 1
mm/min at tensile test. Notch impact test was carried on at 25 0C depending on TS-269.
Notch was opened on welding line as standart. Some suitable standart measurements were
applied on specimen.
1.4871 materials were etched for 10 s and 1.4718 materials at 3 s by 5 % nital on optical tests.
These tests were carried on in CARL ZEISS JENA type optical microscope atDokuzEylül
University laboratories (Izmir, Turkey). A 1360 pyramide point Vickers type was used for
microhardness tests. Microhardness tests were carriedout at distance of 10 µm to welding and
parallel to welding cross-section on this study 80 g load was used for these tests; however, a
load from 25 g to 100 gcould be applied on microhardness tester. Microhardness tests were
carried out in CARL ZEISS JENA type microhardness tester at DokuzEylül University
labaratories. SEM tests were carried out on by using JEOL JXA-733 type at DokuzEylül
University laboratories (Izmir, Turkey).

3. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
3. 1. Mechanical Properties
When tensile tests results were examined, mechanical properties of group B were betterthan
those of group A or C. The basicrepresentative property of groupB is that friction pressure is
207 MPa. Break out did not occurin welding zone on B4, B5, and B6. Common determining
characteristic of this group is that friction pressure (P1) and forging pressure (P2)values were
takenconstant whereas friction time is variable on these groups. Yield and tensile strength
were similar. As a result, it can be seen that friction time is a determining parameter among
these three groups. In determining optimum welding parameters,breaking point in tensile bar,
the suitability of post-tensioning yield and tensile strength values for acceptable values of
materials and percentage of extent quantity havesignificance.Fractures in 1.4871
materialoccurred out of welding zone in group B5. Yield strength was 854 MPa, tensile
strength value was1081 MPa.
When notch impact tests results are examined,it has been determined the energy quantities
spent to break the samples of group B are more than those of the other two groups and the
samples of B5 in group B spent the highest energy quantity.
Based on microhardnessresuts,microhardness values did not increase ingroup B5 samples, but
microhardness valuessignificantly increased 4 mmaway from centre. The microhardness
value was 400 HV in outer cross section for 1.4871 materials,while it was 439 HV in centre.
Microhardnesswas 483 HV in the centrewhile it was 439 HV in outer cross section for 1.4718
materials. The cooling was the slowestin the centre of materials. Consequently, element
diffusion in materials centretakes much longer time. In addition, movement and mechanical
orientationwere alsominimalin the center due to material deformation. Therefore, it is
determined that the highest microhardness value is in the center of materials.The variations of
microhardness values depending on distant are shown in Fig. 1.The hardnessdistributions
were determined by using optical and scanning electron microscope.

Total length shortening quantity (mm)

Length shortening quantities on post welding and effects of parameters on length shortening
are explained by graphics depending on parameter groups in Fig. 2. As seen in figures,
variation on length shortenings depending on welding parameters is linear. A significant
material loss due to burning occurs in 1.4718 materialson friction welding joints. Total
material loss reaches the highest values in the parameter groups having the highest friction
time. When we regard all these criteria; A9, B3, B5, B6, B8, B9, C4, C7 and C8, parameter
groups differ from other groups according to the length shortening quantities. Efficient length
shortening quantities can notbe obtained for 2.7 s friction time. By increasing friction
pressure and forging pressure values it is determined that there is much more material loss in
the groupssubjected to4.7 s friction time. Length shortening quantities could not be obtained
at low friction time in group B samples. In the light of these results, group B5 can be
considered ideal for length shortening.

In joining A6061 alloy and SUS304 stainless steel by friction welding, it has been observed
that high forging pressures affect the joining strength positively and tensile strength of
notched samples increaseswith forging pressure and maximum effectiveness of joining is
seen as 87-93 %percent (Ochi etal., 1996).
In another study, energy absorption of normalized welding joining is rather more than a
normalized one, and energy transition temperature has been determined at about 24 0C at
normalized welding joining. This temperature is harmonious with temperature on fracture
surface. Crack proceeding strength of normalized welding joining is higherthan that of a
normalized one. Impact bending strength of normalized welding joining is almost the same as
hot processed metal (Kato et al., 1996).
Şahin et al.(1996)conducted tensile and microhardness tests, heat and SEM studiesin welding
zone to determine heat affected zone (HAZ)metalurgical variations on Al-Al, Al-Steel, and
steel-steel using different parameters of friction welding.They reported that welding
parameters significantly affected yield, tensile and fracture strength and HAZ zone near the
Al was wider on Al-steel joinings. Preperation measures of welding joining must be taken as
34

1-10 mm per welding joining by considering length shorteningduring surface preperationin
welded joints (Anık, 1983).
Ogawa et al.(1993)reported high material lossin friction welding of S45C steel, so it has to be
examinedfor its economical impact. In this study, low hardness thin grained ferrite, and
pearlite layer occured on HAZ. Slope of hardness distribution on joining zone has been
determined to be low at wider space.
Şahin(2005)determined optimum welding parameters as follows: friction time (4 s), friction
pressure (110 MPa) and tensile strength (600 MPa) on high-speed steel (HSS-S6) and
medium carbon steel (AISI 1040). He determined hardness of welding zone as 700 HV.
Şahin(2007) determined that optimum welding parameters as friction time 9 s, friction
pressure 60 MPa and tensile strength 800 MPa on stainless steel (AISI 304). He determined
hardness of welding zone as 200 HV. In these studies, the tensile strength of the joints
increased with the friction time and pressure, and it raised a maximum, but it decreased for
more friction time and pressure (Şahin, 2005; Şahin, 2007). Ateş et al. (2003) determined
friction time as 6 s, friction pressure 70 MPa, and tensile strength 850 MPa on MA 956 ironbased superalloy. They determined hardness of welding zone as 700 HV. In this study, tensile
strength increased with forging pressure and with friction pressure up to a certain value in
HAZ.
Özdemir(2005) and Özdemir et al. (2007)determined that hardness of welding zone as about
1000 HV on AISI 304 and AISI 4340 steel.In these studies, for excellent welding parameters
“the friction time was held as short as possible, while the rotational speed, friction and
forging pressure was chosen as high as possible. Satyanarayana et al.(2005)determined that
hardness of welding zone as about 270 HV, and notch tensile strength 690 MPa on AISI 304
and AISI 430 steel.The differences in our results and those of other previous studies may be
attributed to the fact that their materials and welding parameters were different from ours.
3. 2. Microstructure Properties
When microstructure results are examined, it has been observed that friction time does not
cause any noticeable differences in inner microstructure due to low friction pressure ingroup
A samples. Heat affected zone (HAZ) is observed to be thicker ingroup C samples. These
zones are seen to be much wider especially in the groups, belonging to the values of
increasing forging pressure and friction time. Mechanical orientation and wider HAZ are
observed on group C5 and 1.4871 materials. Mechanical orientation of grains is certainly
seen from central to outer on grains. Certain microstructure and standart thickness HAZ were
observed on group B samples (Fig. 3).

When forging pressure resuts are examined; in the inner structure of groups the high forging
pressure values from central to outer mechanical orientation in grains, coming out due to
deformation during welding is observed (Fig. 3). This orientation is possible for each of
thetwo materials. Standart thickness and more obvious HAZ are seen ingroup B samples (Fig.
4).

When tensile and notch impact tests results are examined, better mechanical were obtained in
group B5 samplesas compared with the other groups. When optical microscope images of
group B5 are examined; martensitic microstructure of 1.4718 materials waspresent at a
distant zone of welding. Austenitic microstructure of 1.4871 materials is seen at a zone way
from welding. Black zones occured in microstructures are Fe2C carburs on austenit grain
boundaries and some austenit grains. SEM image of 1.4718 and 1.4871 material
microstructure in a zone away from welding was shown as 4000 times magnified in Fig. 24.
SEM image of welding interface in two materials was shown as 4000 times magnified in Fig.

Satyanarayana et al. (2005)observed thin grained structure in welding zone, and observed
grain orientation in HAZ in medium carbon steels, and stainless steels.Ateş et al. (2007)
reported that HAZ and grain orientation in microstructure increased with increasing friction
pressure. They reported that HAZ and grain orientation in microstructure decreased with
increasing forging pressure. In our study, similar microstructure results were obtained.
4. CONCLUSIONS
In this study, the optimum welding parameters were determined in materials during the
connection of X53CrMnNiN219 and X45CrSi93 steels by friction welding.Based on the
findings of this research, the following conclusions can be drawn:
1. Efficient length shortening quantities can not be obtained in the samples in which friction
time is applied as 2.7 s. It has been determined that there has been more material loss with
increased friction pressure and forging pressure in the groups where the highest friction time
was 4.7 s. While the ideal length shortening is 7-10 mm, it is 8.85 mm for B5.
2. Break from welding zone is not observed on the samples of group B5 on tensile tests. For
tensile properties, B5 parameter group has been determined as an ideal parameter group.
3. The highest fracture energy (toughness) on tensile tests was observed in group B5.
4. Profiles hardness of A group occured on near 1.4871 material of welding zone, and the
highest value of hardness of these samples occured near 1.4718 material of welding zone.
The slope of hardness profile on group B and C was much higher than that of group A in the
welding zone.
5. Carbur formations were clearly observed along direction lines of HAZ and mechanical
orientations on group B5 optical micrscope images. Austenitic structure occured on
microstructure distant welding zone 1.4718 and martensitic structure occured on 1.4871
material on distant welding zone. Next to welding zone, gain shortening and grain flatness
occured as perpendicular deformation in 1.4871 materials.

Abstract
Aphrodisias is an ancient city nearby Karacasu, Aydın. It was established by the name of
Goddess Aphrodit. It is a big settlement from the Bronz Age to Bizans time. It has been found
baths, agora, stadium, odeon, Aphrodit temple in arceologic excavations. Aphrodisias is
known as an important sculpturing centre in first- era, was given sculpturing education in that
term.Of all the ancient cities in Anatolia, The Stadium of Aphrodisias is one of the best
preserved.
Aphrodisias is an ancient city which is famous for its Aphrodit temple especially in Roman
age. It is one of the most important archeological places of Turkey with its well-protected
movement – buildings now. The excavations started by New York University in 1961 are
being continued today, too. The new historical sites have been found in excavations that still
last now. These historical sites have been presented in the museum of Aphrodisias.
About 125.000 tourists visit Aphrodisias ancient city each year. The visitors come from
America and European Countries mostly in spring and autumn. In other hot months, French,
Italian and Spanish people visit and Brazilian tourists have visited ancienty city lately.
Tourists who come in winter visit mostly for shopping and Aphrodisias ancient city is visited.
The avarage age of visitors is quite high. It is preferred by only the participants of cultural
tours because Aphrodisias Ancient city is visited according to cultural tourism. These tours
reachmostly beginning from İstanbul to Bursa – Çanakkale – İzmir Efes – Kuşadası – Didim
Milet and then Aphrodisias – Pamukkale Hierapolis and Antalya. In this research the variation
of tourist which visit Aphrodisias ancient city have been determined and it has also been
determined how tourists in this community spend their money. The effect of these spendings
on economical sustainable development of Turkey and the region where ancient city is has
beendetermined.

1.INTRODUCTION
Today, negative factors such as excessive urbanization, difficulty in living conditions put big
pressures on people who especially live in urban areas. Escape from these pressures reflect on
tourism movements and tourism searches based mostly on natural environment replace with
the usual concept of tourism which consist of the triangle of sea, sand and sun(Oral et al.1996;
Gulez, 1998).
Increase of interest to the natural and cultural places necessitates the protection and renewal
of natural and cultural areas and the provision of ecological balance. Tourist prefer to goto
regions whose original, natural and historical riches are protected, not modern structures,
concrete pile soar a nature which has been destroyed.
Sustainable tourism is a form of development that cultural integrity, ecological processes,
biodiversity and systems which continue life have been sustained by being protected the
environment where people are in interaction with without any damage or being chanced and
that all resources have been managed to satisfy the economic, social and an esthetic needs of
tourists and people who are in the region which has been visited and to provide the needs of
future generations. The sustainable development of natural and cultural environment is
possible with protection and development. A tourism development based on environmental
protection will bring an environment which has developed in economical, social and physical
way(Akten et al. 2011)
The continuity of natural and cultural valves is of great importance for continuity of
Karacasu’s economy in the future. In this study, the importance of Aphrodisias ancient city in
sustainable economy and the reasons of continuity of country’s economy have been
examined.
1.1.SUSTAINABILITY
“Sustainability”, as meaning of word, expresses the situation of being continuity and
seamlessness. The concept of livability has to be evaluated wits sustainability in ecosystem,
management, services energy or area-transitivity, feelings and economy income
(Buyukyegen, 2008).
The concept of sustainability has firstly emerged at the Conference on human environment of
United Nations in Stockholm in 1972(Newman et al. 1999). At this conference 113 countries
have given an undertaking that they start to environmental cleaning and have decided that
environmental problems won’t be able to be categorized not only as air pollution, water
pollution and chemical contamination and it has also been revealed that the necessity of
radioactive substances that affect everyone are not released everywhere(Aktas, 2007).
Sustainability is to ensure to continue its existence non-stop without consuming by overuse or
overload to main resources of the vital link, without deterioration or decay of function of a
society, ecosystem or a system which has continuity. Sustainability is an essential
237

�3rd International Symposium on Sustainable Development, May 31 - June 01 2012, Sarajevo

precondition for sustainable development in the use of potentials such as sail, water, surface
and underground riches, flora as natural resource (Tozar, 2006).
The sustainable development of natural and cultural environment is possible with protection
and development. In general meaning, the protection of natural and cultural environment is
the transfer of these values for future generations. The success of renewal integrated
protection depends on the realization without causing social fragmentation and disrupts the
health of social structure which contains.
A health protection policy has to take historical, natural and cultural heritage into social life
and integrate with it (Buyukyegen, 2008).
The main purpose of development of sustainable tourism is the economic development and
protection of environmental valves as a result of tourism activities. At this point(Gezici,
2008);

To develop environment, economy and tourism with an increasing importance as a
part of each other.
To increase the quality of the environment.
To improve the life quality of local people.
To ensure high quality - standards for tourists.
To integrate tourism with other economic sectors.
To ensure equality in development.
A concept of sustainable tourism which includes very comprehensive targets such as
to guarantee the protection of the environment for future generations.

2. SUSTAINABLE ECONOMY AND KARACASU
2.1. The Geographical Structure of Karacasu
The County of Karacasu which is between Karıncalı Mountain in the west of it and Baba
Mountain in the east of it located on approximately 40 km - long valley which has a
mountains and hilly land.
There are cities and countries such as Denizli – Babadağ in the east, Aydın – Bozdoğan in the
west, Aydın – Kuyucak in the north, and Denizli – Tavas and Kale in the south of Karacasu
located on 90 kilometers distance from the city center.
The most important stream of county is Dandalaz which starts from Dedeler Village and
pours into Big Menderes River.
The altitude of country is 600 meters and the highest point is Karıncalı Mountain. The area of
country is 782 km2. The central population of Karacasu is 6200 and it has a total population
21980 together with villages. The climate of country has the characteristics of Mediterian
climate. But because the altitude is partially high, winter is colder; summer is cooler and more
rainless than the other regions of Aydın.
2.2. Karacasu County’s Economy
The country of Karacasu has a big tourism potential. Aphrodisias Museum and historical sites
which located in Geyre, a 13 km distance to country is one of the most important museums
and historical sites in the world and in Turkey. And it is visited by approximately 200.000
238

�3rd International Symposium on Sustainable Development, May 31 - June 01 2012, Sarajevo

domestic and foreign tourists per year 159. 367 domestic and foreign tourists visited the
museums and historical sites in 2008 and had an income of 187.546 TL.
İt has been planned to make repair renovation in all exhibition areas except for Sevgi Gönül
Sebsateion Hall for the purpose of performing exhibition layout which has been presented in.
Aphrodisias Museum Sevgi Gönül Sebsateion which has entered service since May 2008 and
having entirely a contemporary look of museum exhibition.
There have already been 12 leather, 25 Ceramic and 7 Olive management in small or
medium-sized. At the same time, the management of the olive has been made in the houses.
Weaving is a field of endeavor which has been managed as traditionally. There are a great
number of fully automatic weaving looms especially in villages of Ataköy, Işıklar, Yeniköy,
Palamutçuk and Dikmen.
In addition there are restaurant which has been operated by entrepreneurs in the country on
the way to Karacasu - Aphrodisias. These restaurants take materials that they use in their
foods or meals directly from the farmers can find opportunity of bazaar that they will be able
to present their products.
They have people of Karacasu work as worker in the excavations and studies made in
Aphrodisias. Also they can find the restoration opportunity to employ in restaurants and sale
points which have been established in the region.
2.3. The Aphrodisias Tourism
The Aphrodisias antique city, which is located in the city of Geyre within Aydın’s Karacasu
borough, was one of the most important architecture, arts, sculpture and worship centers of
the antique age. The magnificent antique city which is 3 kilometers from Geyre, 13 kilometers
from Karacasu and 98 kilometers Aydın city center of different values for ages.
Aphrodisias was a rich and cultivated antique city which was famous for worshipping
Aphrodite during the Roman era and today, it’s one of the most important archeological sites
in Turkey with its well preserved monumental structures. In 1st century B.C. Roman Emperor
Augustus put Aphrodisias under his personal protection. Today, the monuments that still
stand were built 250 years after his reign. Two forums encircled with columns were planned
around the theater and the temple. The most secure stadium in the antique era was located on
the northern tip of the city. At the end of the 3rd century A.D. the city became the capitol of
Caria, a state of the Roman Empire. The city was encircled by walls in the middle of the 4th
century A.D. It started losing its importance at the beginning of the 6th century. The Temple
of Aphrodite was turned into a church and the city was completely abandoned in the 12th
century. During the digs at the Acropolis Hill Tumulus within the Aphrodisias historical sites,
chalcolithic ceramics and obsidian tools that were dated back to 4600 B.C. were uncovered.
A cult centered city
During the Aphrodisias digs, Lydian style ceramic plates, archaic and classic era settlements
were uncovered around the Acropolis Hill Tumulus and the Temple of Aphrodite. During 1st
century B.C. in Aphrodisias, the most important antique city of the region, the nature and
abundance themed Aphrodisias Aphrodite cult, which was an amalgamation of the Asian
Minor goddes Ishtar, Anatolian based goddes Cybele and Greek based Goddes Aphrodite,
started to grow and the city was tuned into a cult center after the establishment of the Temple
of Aphrodite. During to Byzantium era the city was turned into the primacy of the Caria area.
239

�3rd International Symposium on Sustainable Development, May 31 - June 01 2012, Sarajevo

According to Byzantium sources the area was conquered 4 times by the Seljuk Dynasty
between 11-13th centuries. The lands of Karacasu were inhabited by Turcoman tribes. So the
Menteşe Seigniory and later on Aydınoğulları ruled the area. In 1413 Murad II added the
lands of Karacasu to the Ottoman Empire. In 1867, Karacasu became a borough of Aydın.
The first researches at the antique city were undertaken by Laborde and Texier in 1835 on
behalf of the “Society of Dilettanti”. The first digs were made by a French engineer and
amateur archeologist by the name of Paul Gaudin between the years 1904-1905. In 1937 an
Italian named Giulio Jacopi found the agora of Aphrodisias. During the digs established by
Prof.Dr. Kenan Erim on behalf of NYU between the years 1961-1990, many of the artworks
we see today have been unearthed and restored. Today, the excavation team headed by
Prof.Dr. R.R. Roland Smith on behalf of NYU has been resuming research 1991.
The city that was established with the Money of Zoilos
In 1st or 2nd century B.C., streets with grilled plans were built in Aphrodisias. The building
of the monumental statues that are located in the middle of the city began at the end of 1st
century B.C. First expenses were paid by the city’s famous citizen Zoilos.
In the first stage, the Temple of Aphrodite, North Agora and the Theater was built. In the
beginning of 1st century A.D. the center of the city was expanded with a second forum that
was built between old agora and the theatre. Also at the same time, a huge temple complex
called Sebasteion that was dedicated to the Julia Claudius family was built to the north of the
agora. At the end of the 1st and during the 2nd century many new buildings were established
for public use. The most important of these are the Turkish baths that have been built on the
west corner of the South agora and dedicated to Emperor Hadrian. We also have to mention
the Bouleuterion (a building which housed the council of citizens) which was built on the
northern corner of the North agora and the monumental door that leads to the holy space of
Aphrodite. We see very few new structures in Aphrodisias between the 3rd and 5th centuries
but we know that many of the buildings in the center of city were regularly used and repaired
when necessary. The most important architectural Project of the late Roman era is the
transformation of the Temple of Aphrodite into a Christian church in 500 A.D.
Here are some of the monumental structures that have been unearthed after the digs in
Aphrodisias: Temple of Aphrodite, Tetrapylon, Stadium, Odeon, The School of Philosophy,
The Pontif Palace, Hadrian baths, The Tiberius Portico, Agora, Basilica, Theatre, Theatre
baths, Peristyle and Emperor’s chambers, Sebasteion, Martyrion. The Aphrodisias Museum is
the ultimate point of the excavations that have been going on since 1961. The construction of
the museum which started in 1971-1972 and finished in 1977 was opened to public on July
21, 1979 with an official reception.
The virtuosos of art
The real purpose of the Aphrodisias Museum is not only to present its visitors with examples
of rich archeological finds but at the same time to accentuate the excellence and variety of the
statues that were made in the workshops during Roman and early Byzantium eras. From the
quality and abundance of the artwork on display, we can easily conclude that Aphrodisias was
once one of the major centers of sculpturing in Asia Minor and Roman Mediterranean. Surely,
the existence of with and blue-gray colored marbles that are found on the skirts of Mount
Baba on the northeastern part of the region played an important role in this. Between 1st
century B.C. and 5th century B.C. the sculptors in Aphrodisias created masterpieces using
techniques far more advanced than their time and shown that they were the virtuosos of this
art.

�3rd International Symposium on Sustainable Development, May 31 - June 01 2012, Sarajevo

They have produced great statues using Classic Greek and Hellenistics styles and also made
extremely unique engravings and decorative reliefs on houses and formal buildings. The
artworks of these masters not only reflect Greek or Hellenistic prototypes uniquely (unlike
portraits of holy bodies), but they also display a complex approach by emphasizing the
inclination of idealizing through realistic decorations. This inclination has become integrated
with a unique style and even Baroque style that is clearly visible in the shininess of the body
and also the way that the eyes, hands and clothes are sculptured. The master sculptors of
Aphrodisias were also experts in architectural decoration, columns that included human and
animal figures and acanthus reliefs, wallboard crests, panel busts, reliefs about mythological
subjects and many elements that were used for thedecorations of buildings.
The galleries of the museum are located around a central courtyard. Starting from the right of
the entrance, the museum is toured counter clockwise. The artworks are displayed according
to theme rather than chronologically. Each gallery is dedicated to one aspect of Aphrodisias
sculpturing. In order, the glass case that displays prehistoric findings and the Tondo Gallery,
The Empire Gallery, The Zoilos Wings, The Melpomene Gallery, Odeon Gallery, Unfinished
Artworks Gallery, glass cased display gallery, Love Gallery (the additional building that was
opened in 2008 which displays the bas reliefs of Sebasteion), the Penthesileia Gallery, the
Aphrodite gallery, Rank Titles Wing and the inner courtyard are the parts of the
museum(ACTM 2011).

Table 1: The number of visitors which come per year to Aphrodisias ancient city and
historical sites and the amount of total income
While the museums and historical site were changing separately until the term of 2004, it was
given up from this application as from 2004 and it has been ensured museums and historical
site visit by one price. İt has been ensured museum and historical site visit by one price. It is
the reason why income numbers were high before 2004.
Since 2010 the entry visit of historical site has been customized and awarded to a firm. This
firm has made the input control of historical site, security of it and the cleaning jobs. The
people from Karacasu have been employed for these jobs. The people who work in store and
cafeteria in Aphrodisias museum are also from Karacasu. Approximately %10 of tourists
visiting prefer this store and cafeteria. %45 of tourists which do shopping from the store and
cafeteria consist of Americans. Also %15 of tourist consist of Spanish, %15 Italian, %5
French, %5 German and the other %15 them consist of other European Countries. While
tourists who are 50 years and over prefer Aphrodisias in winter, younger tourist prefer in
summer.
Tourists that come to Aphrodisias eat their lunch in the restaurants which have been
managed on the way Aphrodisias – Karacasu. The tourists which eat in these restaurants
consist %35 of Italian, %15 of Spanish, %5 of French, %5 of English, %5 of German, %5 of
American and the rest %30 of other nations. Approximately 50 staffs have been employed in
these restaurants. Also, ceramic products, textile products with hand weaving, souvenirs have
been sold in these restaurants and in sale parts establish close to historical site.
4.RESULT
It is clear that how much the economy of Karacasu depends on Aphrodisias historical
site and museum. It has been understood that these economic facts which identify with
Aphrodisias historical site will be exist in no way if Aphrodisias ancient city doesn’t exist. So
it has been provided that Aphrodisias ancient city are widened and transferred for future
generations by protecting its today’s state to be sustainable of these economic facts. As the
Aphrodisias ancient city exist and its adverts reach to a lot of people, tourist potential will
increase. Thus, the county economy will develop and will transfer for future generations as
sustainable.

Economic Dimension Of The Environmental Policies Applied In Turkey And Its
Potential Effects On Sustainable Development
Mevlüt Karabiçak, Serpil Ağcakaya
Abstract
The purpose of the paper is to analyse the economic dimension of environmental policies still
being applied in Turkey and to research the potential effects of sustainable development. In
1987 Bruntland Report was published by UN World Commission on Environment and
Development and attention on sustainable development was attracted. In the aforementioned
report, against the ever deteriorating environmental problems, the necessities of establishing
the vital bridge between environmental development and economic development and the
sustainability of development are accepted.
The first precaution coming to mind for preventing environmental destructions that causes
crucial costs for national economies is the efficient and productive use of current resources
and the establishment of an optimal equilibrium between current and future generations in
terms of the use of resources. Being sensitive in terms of the principle of sustainable
development in the formation of environmental policies is accepted to be an important
approach for the prevention of environment. Although the sustainable development
endeavours cause significant costs, it is observed that new policies are constantly formed in
terms of environment. In the scope of the paper, the potential effects of environmental
policies that aim to decrease the negative effects created by the destruction of environment
and to turn the world into a more habitable area on sustainable development are analysed
through national and international data.

                <text>Aphrodisias is an ancient city nearby Karacasu, Aydın. It was established by the name of  Goddess Aphrodit. It is a big settlement from the Bronz Age to Bizans time. It has been found  baths, agora, stadium, odeon, Aphrodit temple in arceologic excavations. Aphrodisias is  known as an important sculpturing centre in first- era, was given sculpturing education in that  term.Of all the ancient cities in Anatolia, The Stadium of Aphrodisias is one of the best  preserved.  Aphrodisias is an ancient city which is famous for its Aphrodit temple especially in Roman  age. It is one of the most important archeological places of Turkey with its well-protected  movement – buildings now. The excavations started by New York University in 1961 are  being continued today, too. The new historical sites have been found in excavations that still  last now. These historical sites have been presented in the museum of Aphrodisias.  About 125.000 tourists visit Aphrodisias ancient city each year. The visitors come from  America and European Countries mostly in spring and autumn. In other hot months, French,  Italian and Spanish people visit and Brazilian tourists have visited ancienty city lately.  Tourists who come in winter visit mostly for shopping and Aphrodisias ancient city is visited.  The avarage age of visitors is quite high. It is preferred by only the participants of cultural  tours because Aphrodisias Ancient city is visited according to cultural tourism. These tours  reachmostly beginning from İstanbul to Bursa – Çanakkale – İzmir Efes – Kuşadası – Didim  Milet and then Aphrodisias – Pamukkale Hierapolis and Antalya. In this research the variation  of tourist which visit Aphrodisias ancient city have been determined and it has also been  determined how tourists in this community spend their money. The effect of these spendings  on economical sustainable development of Turkey and the region where ancient city is has  beendetermined.

Economy
Abstract
The main causes of the current account deficit in Turkey; the foreign trade deficit, the high
ratio of intermediate goods imports, high oil prices and Turkey's energy import dependence,
lack of domestic savings, foreign direct investment and low tourism revenues.
In this study, the causes of the current account deficit and current account deficit financing
structure were examined. In addition, the determinanats of Turkey current account deficit
wereanalyzed via VAR methods using the data of 2002-2011 monthly current account deficit,
net export, interest on external debt, transfer payments and costs of tourism.
As a result of the study, According to variance discrimination results obtained from VAR
model composed under this roof, current account deficit is determined by its own shocks in
the short term. In addition, current account deficit prediction error variance is determined by
tourism expenditures and foreign debt interest rate as well as its own variables. Current
account deficit is affected by export, foreign debt interest rate, transfer payments and shock
given to tourism expenditures.
Keywords: Current Account Deficit, Determinants, VAR, Turkey
1.INTRODUCTION
1.1.What is current account deficit?
Current account deficit is the difference between the amount of foreign currency getting in
and out a country. Export and tourism make up foreign currency income and import and
foreign expenditure make up foreign currency expenditure. Current account deficit is reached:
the foreign currency obtained from goods export, service export like tourism(e.g the wage
income of those working abroad) and manufacture factors are added and the expenditures
made in the same category (import, tourism expenditures, the transfer of the profit gained by
111

�3rd International Symposium on Sustainable Development, May 31 - June 01 2012, Sarajevo

foreigners) are subtracted from total. İf the figures obtained show a value then it means that
you have a current account deficit.
The economic relations of a country with outsideworld is monitored in a balance-sheet called
payment balance. This balance-sheet shows us how much foreign currency surplus or deficit
occurred within the term mentioned demonstrating the foreign currency incomes and
expenditures in a balanced approach.
Payment balance is made up of two sections. Current deficit balance and capital account.
Only current deficit balance will be clarified here. Current account balance consists of 4 subbalances.
1.
2.
3.
4.

Goods balance
Services balance
Investment revenues balance
Current account transfers

Goods Balance: The difference between foreign currency incomes obtained from the sales
abroad and foreign currency costs for goods purchased from abroad by a country.
Services Balance: The difference between foreign currency incomes obtained from services
such as transport, insurance, tourism and foreign currency costs paid for similar services.
Investment Revenues Balance: The difference between the profits gained from the FDI,
interest revenues from portfolio investments by a particular country etc. and foreigners’
profits from similar investments in that country and foreign currency revenues in foreign
currencies.
Currentc Account Transfers: The foreign currency input from workers abroad. Therefore, we
can formulate current account balance as;
Current Account Balance = Goods Balance + Services Balance + Investment Revenue
Balance + Current Account Transfers. If the result of this total is minus(-), current account
deficit exists.
1.2. What Are The Effect of Current Account on Economy?
An economy whose current account is on the rise needs to grow its capital accounts as well.
The foreign dependence of an economy whose capital accounts grow increases. One of the
most debated issues in Turkish economy is current account deficit. Given that the final goal of
macroeconomic policies is to provide an interior and exterior balance in the economy of a
particular economy, an un acceptible and unsustainable current deficit will mean gradual
deviation from exterior balance, therefore, in this case, the problem needs solving through
economic policies.
While the provision and maintenance of interior balance means, in general, price stability and
exact employment, exterior balance means the payment balance between the total expenditure
and revenues of a particular country. Current account deficit can be explained as a deviation
related to exterior imbalances in this regard(Telatar, 2011).
1.3.What are the Objectives of this Study?
The aim of this study is to analyse the determinants of current account deficit through
2002:M1-2011:M12 data. This issue needs to be discussed and suggestions for solution need
112

�3rd International Symposium on Sustainable Development, May 31 - June 01 2012, Sarajevo

to be developed because of the fact that current account deficit reached its peak 2011. The
study is important in this respect. The rest of the study consists of 6 main sections. In the
primary sections are completed that it is introduction, second section determinants of current
account deficit in Turkey, the third section up-to-date data regarding current account deficit
in Turkey, the fourth section literature, the fifth section analysis and final section.
2.Determinants of Current Account Deficit in Turkey
The determinants of current account deficits (CAD) are now at the centre of international
macroeconomics with the recent experience of large imbalances of a number of countries
including the USA. The empirical literature appears to focus on the determinants and
sustainability of CAD in individual countries or the consequences in a cross-section of
countries (Özmen, 2005).
The determinants of current account balances are of considerable interest in open economy
macroeconomics. Alternative theoretical models have different predictions about the factors
underlying current account dynamics and about the sign and magnitude of the relationships
between current account fluctuations and these determinants(Chinn and Prasad, 2000). Hence,
empirical analysis of the sort undertaken in this paper could help discriminate among
competing theories.
The current account deficit (CA), we define as follows14:
CAt = NXt + rtBt + TRt

(1)

In the equation (1) current account deficit; explained through trade in goods, interest
payments on foreign debt and transfer payments.
NX t

; net exports of goods and services, Bt ; bills, bonds, equities, loans and physical capital
that exceed the net foreign assets (foreign debt of countries, external debt stock), rt ;
international interest rate, rt Bt ; net return on net foreign assets (foreign debt of the countries,
the interest on foreign debt) and TRt ; represents transfer payments net of public and private
sector.
NXt = Xt – Mt, part of CAt has the biggest share is the last period in Turkey. When the
country is indebted to rt Bt and CAt is negative value adversely affected.Transfer payments are
usually made out of small countries, since there is little outsiders, TRt positive affected CAt.
According to this definition, the causes of the current account deficit, external debt and
interest payments on trade in goods.
3.Up-to-date data regarding current account deficit in Turkey
The republic of Turkey produced 57 billion dolar current account deficit from 1923 to 2002.
The current account deficit, which was 48,5 billion dolars in 2010, rose to 77,1 billion dollars
in late 2011.

Parliament (October 2010).
Mehmet Simsek, Turkish Finance Minister, points out that current account deficit is an issue
that has both structural and cyclical aspects. He also added that domestic demand in Turkey
has grown 8-10 times as fast as that of Europe, and surging oil prices and Arab spring in the
region caused the current account deficit to rise to an unpredictably high levels.
4.Literature
The studies in which current account deficit is analyzed through exterior balance approach
was launched by Husted (1992), and he was followed by Milesi-Ferretti and Razin (1996),
Fountas and Wu (1999) and Edwards (2001).
Khan and Knight (1983), using pooled cross-section time-series analysis for a sample of 32
non-oil developing countries during the period 1973-80. The empirical results suggest the
importance of exercising circumspection in attributing to any single cause the current account
imbalances experienced by non-oil developing countries during the 1970s.
When foreign Exchange rate falls down, export goods’ prices rise and export is badly
influenced. And imported goods’ prices relatively fall down and import increases. (Peker
Hotunluoğlu, 2009)
Edwards (2005) examined the relation between US dolar and US current account deficit. It
was pointed out in the analysis that foreign demand for dollars will lower current accoun
deficit and in the near future US foreign deficit will decrease the rate of growth at a
remarkable scale.
Aristovnik (2006) reached the conclusion in his research on transition economies that, in case
current account transactions deficit surpasses 5% of GDP, eonomies generally have trouble
with foreign sustainability.
Yamak and Korkmaz (2007), in his study in which he used a data set of 2001:04-2005:09
period and modern times series techniques, reached the conclusion that Turkish current
account deficit is sustainable in weak form and there is a co-integration relation between
export-import series.
Peker (2009) analyzed the sustainability of current account transaction deficit in Turkey
through co-integration method using 1992:01-2007:12 period monthly data. As a result of the
survey, he found out that current account deficit can be sustained at alow level, though a longterm relation between export and import series exists, co-integration co-efficient is 0,8926
114

�3rd International Symposium on Sustainable Development, May 31 - June 01 2012, Sarajevo

consequently, he concluded that foreign currency revenues are lower than foreign currency
expenditures.
Oktar and Dalyancı (2011) found out that the sustainability of Turkish economical growth
depends on maintenance of current account deficit. He also examined the relation between
monetary policies and current account transactions for Turkish economy through time series,
and found out that there is no Granger causality between Central Bank of Turkish Republic
policy interest rate and current account transactions balance in the short term and an adverse
co-integration relation in the long-run.
Erdil Sahin (2011) emphasized that current account deficit because of high rate growth
depending on domestic demand and execessively valuable Turkish Lira should be recovered
through new structural reform policies based on firm growth Fundamentals. He concluded
that current account deficit financed by short-term capital entrances like in Turkey, however,
is unsustainable due to capital exit risk, whatever size it is.
Chen (2011) examined the sustainability of current account deficit on economy policy in G-7
countries through econometric methods and found out that while current account deficit is
sustainable for Germany and Japan in the long run, he couldn’t reach positive results for
Canada, France, Italy, UK and USA.
Kim, Min, Hwang and Mcdonald (2009) concluded in the studies they conducted on the 19812003 period quarter data of far-east countries such as Indonesia, Korea, Malasia, the
Phillippines and Thailand that those developing countries had a high growth rate and their
current account deficit was sustainable.
5.ANALYSIS
5.1.Data Set
2002:M1-2011:M12 covering the period of this study, five variables were used. What
variables stand for; (CAD), the level of current account deficit, (NX), net exports (FID),
interest on external debt, (TP) transfer payments and (TE) represents the costs of tourism.
Variables were obtained from Central Bank of Turkey Electronic Data Delivery System,
balance of payments detailed presentation part. As a result of the analysis, which variable or
variables were effective on the variables that detrmine the current account deficit was
analyzed. Estimates for all the test and computer package Eviews 5.1 program was used.
5.2.Method
Without any restrictions on the VAR models, structural models can be delivered between the
dynamic relationships and for this reason, often used in time series (Keating, 1990:453 - 454).
Since the VAR model which is most frequently used in Time series of economic studies does
not require inernal-external distinction, in any way out of economic theory, it differs from
simultaneous equation systems in this respect. Moreover, that lagged values of dependent
variables are also included in VAR models makes strong predictions for the future possible.
(Kumar, Leona, Gasking, 1995: 365).
As a result of estimating VAR model, instead of interpreting the parameters obtained,
comments can be made for the future by passing the analysis of residues obtained from the
estimated result of the system. The effects of shocks that these are likely to ocur in error terms
of the variables in the models are measured with Impulse-Response functionsas shown in
115

�3rd International Symposium on Sustainable Development, May 31 - June 01 2012, Sarajevo

Enders(1995: 305-311), the Variance Decomposition which is determined with the model
prediction and measures the prediction error variance another technique is used in the
analysis of residuals. It is mention that with technical assistance mentioned, the effects of
statistical shocks on the variables will be observed.
5.3.Unit Root Test
Static variables are checked in the methods used in time series analysis. A time series is
stationary if its average and variance does not change over time and the covariance in a period
is dependent on only the distance between two periods not the period the covariance is
calculated (Gujarati, 1999: 713). Dickey and the problem of the estimated regression models
are faced with a fake because of the (Granger and Newbold, 1974), the obtained results do not
reflect the true relationship. In such a case, T and F statistics are lost. Therefore, meaningful
and non-stationary time series regression analysis reflect real relationships, but this is a cointegration relationship between the time series is made possible by the presence of (Gujarati,
1999: 725-726).
This level of stability study, the variables before Augmented Dickey-Fuller (1979) test was
analyzed to compare the results of this test is then Phillips-Perron (1988) test was used.

LR: sequential modified LR test statistic (each test at 5% level)
FPE: Final prediction error
AIC: Akaike information criterion
SC: Schwarz information criterion
HQ: Hannan-Quinn information criterion

Table 3 is examined, LR, FPE and AIC values are in the same direction, and 9 is the
minimum value for the delay. Both aim to determine the level of consistent delay, and, due to
lack of a very long time period covered nine-term delay, the delay level is determined as
appropriate for the model.
5.4.Variances Decomposition
To investigate the presence of structural breaks related to the variables, using the squares of
residuals, and thus return the system investigating the CUSUM structural break related to the
variables (Brown, Durbin and Evans, 1975:149-155) chart was used.

Accordingly, the current account deficit is largely determined by its own shocks. Net exports
are determined by its own shocks in the short term, and by tourism expenditure and external
debt with interest in the long term. It looks that net exports are determined by current account
deficit and tourism expenditures as well as its own shocks in the long run. Foreign debt
interest rate results from supply shocks and net exports in the long term. Tourism
expenditures are affected by net exports and current account deficit in the long term. Supply
shocks of transfer payments result from itself in the short term and from tourism expenditures
and foreign debt interest rate in the long term.
That is, a negative increase in exports affects macroeconomic variables by triggering current
account deficit. It is a challenge to take current account deficit that follows an unstable trend
to a stable line. In other words, unless a regulation is made in order to break the trend of
unrest result in the coninuation of current account deficit. This situation is among basic
findings of the survey. One of the most significant consequences of variance decomposition is
that current account deficit is determined again by itself. The results obtained are supported
by the outcomes of impulse-response analysis.

6.Conclusion
In this survey, which was conducted on the determinants of current account deficit, current
account deficit, export, foreign debt interest rate, transfer payments and tourism expenditure
were studied. The variables mentioned were subjected to VAR analysis for 2002:M12011:M12 period as a result of stationarity research as long as they are stationary.
First, of the variables CAD and NX, the second difference taken, FID and TE the first
difference taken, were made stationary. TP was involved in the model with its surface value.
Each variable was involved in the model so long as they are stationary. The model’s time-lag
length was determined as 9.
According to variance discrimination results obtained from VAR model composed under this
roof, current account deficit is determined by its own shocks in the short term. In addition,
current account deficit prediction error variance is determined by tourism expenditures and
foreign debt interest rate as well as its own variables. Current account deficit is affected by
export, foreign debt interest rate, transfer payments and shock given to tourism expenditures.

�3rd International Symposium on Sustainable Development, May 31 - June 01 2012, Sarajevo

It was observed that current account deficit is a potential problem in Turkey. It is thought that
it can stimulate crisis unless kept under control. However, the precautions taken by the
Central Bank of Turkish Republic recently are of great importance in terms of hindering
current account deficit. Therefore, not only total demand will be intimidated but also national
amount of savings will be raised. In this respect, increasing tourism revenues, keeping short
term capital movements under control measures to decrease imports and increase exports
could be taken into account.

                <text>The main causes of the current account deficit in Turkey; the foreign trade deficit, the high  ratio of intermediate goods imports, high oil prices and Turkey's energy import dependence,  lack of domestic savings, foreign direct investment and low tourism revenues.  In this study, the causes of the current account deficit and current account deficit financing  structure were examined. In addition, the determinanats of Turkey current account deficit  wereanalyzed via VAR methods using the data of 2002-2011 monthly current account deficit,  net export, interest on external debt, transfer payments and costs of tourism.  As a result of the study, According to variance discrimination results obtained from VAR  model composed under this roof, current account deficit is determined by its own shocks in  the short term. In addition, current account deficit prediction error variance is determined by  tourism expenditures and foreign debt interest rate as well as its own variables. Current  account deficit is affected by export, foreign debt interest rate, transfer payments and shock  given to tourism expenditures.
