Abstract: After the “alle”s which were constituded in Medieval, greenways that took form
with the “parkway” idea of Olmsted and Vaux in XIX. Century are the open space connectors
which arrange parks, natural reserves, historical sites, and their cultural components. The
greenways which have been constituted with ecological, cultural, recreational and aesthetic
purposes are also important constituents of urban open and green area system.
The planning approach of greenways and the open and green area systems that they connected
with, have interesting examples in England and America. But in our country this planning
approach hasn’t stil been settled. It’s also possible to observe this in Kayseri urban complex.
However there are areas which surround the city and be considered as “greeenway”.
Especially the narrow-deep valleys that surround the city from south-east are unplanned
“greenways” which analyse the transition from urban to rural areas, and existing their rich
cultural petterns. The city in which rapid urbanization continue with the impact of the
industriy, combining with the tresholds on the south make possible of forming a greenbelt
here. In this study it wil be investigated that the possibilities of forming greenways and
activities in possible greenways.

Introduction
In order for the urban green areas to be able to form a system from spatial point of view, it needs
planning them in connection to each other. Today, the entire world accepts this requirement. The open and
green areas connected to each other are effective on emerging of a macro form of a city and directing the urban
development (Özdilek 2004, s.27). In this issue, one mentions the systems such as green belt, green wedge, and
green fabric. And greenways are especially important in terms of that they can make a connection between
such planned green areas.
The greenways are the connectors of open area, which connect to each other the parks, natural reserves,
and other cultural components. (Flink &amp; Searns, 1993)
Greenway planning is an international approach developing along 19th and 20th (Fabos, 1995). The
developing success of the concept “greenway” depends on encouraging to protect the landscape, protecting the
natural and cultural heritage, and providing the possibilities for public recreations.
The greenways are the courses of communication, which increase the quality of life of the
environment and neighboring areas, which is developed through an integrated advertisement, allocated to the
disintegrated voyages (such as pedestrians, bikes, and horses), not motorized. When these linear connectors
particularly take place along the linear elements such as stream and ridgeline, they may emerge as the visual
courses, which provides possibilities for the recreational activities
such as jogging, walking, and cycling
(Comine et al., 2004; p.271 -287). These courses can also be planned as integrated with the other recreational
areas such as urban park, camping area, and sports area. In addition, these courses can serve for daily
transportation, connecting to each other the area such as housing, business, and commerce.
The greenways can be considered in three main categorizes; ecological, recreational, and the green
areas having historical and cultural values (Fabos, 2004).
The notion “park way” developed by F. Law, Olmsted, and Vaux in the late 1800s leaded to the
formation of the concept “greenway” (Shuyler, 1986). In the other words, it made a leadership to the formation
of the concept “greenway” like Olmsted and Vaux. Ebenezer Howard also made an important contribution to
the development of the concept “greenway”.
In spite of their commonly shared antecedents, the movement of greenway in Europe developed
differently from its counterparts in USA. Additionally, one-fragmented approach without discontinuity was
followed and this approach spread many countries (Toscolini &amp; Fumagalli, 2006, pp 112 -133).

�Today, the concept green area highly developed. The greenways currently include their esthetic and
leisure functions as well as a number of different aims. These aims are not only toward protecting the nature, but
also towards the education, historical and cultural heritage, and protecting the public health
(www.rivermed.com)
The greenways can be in the local, urban, regional .national, and even continental scale. According
to the scale, and thus transportation distances, these ways, converging on certain points, can be supported by
motorized ways, railways, and auto parks (Flink and Searns, 1993; p.42 ). According to their properties and
aims, some greenways may not include trails.
One of the important ecological uses of greenways is that; when they located along the stream
corridors, they can aid in buffering surface waters, from non-point source pollution. When it takes in the urban
area, it makes it possible to be protected in the existing natural state of the areas threatened by the future
development of the city (Conine et al.2004.p.271 -287).
Besides such benefits, the greenways have several economic benefits. They increase the real properties
values in their close neighborhoods and consider reaction based job possibilities. They also offer tourist
attractions (Flink ve Searns, 1993; p.42).
“Today, city planners and administrators are increasingly expecting connected landscape corridors to
provide more than park and recreation functions. They are promoting especially metropolitan greenways
networks that help shape urban growth.” (Erickson, 2003; p.199 -221)
Greenway planning in Turkey is still in theoretical level. The academic studies carried out can not be
not largely implemented. Planning practice of the city Kayseri did not form such a concept. In close
neighborhood of the city, the valley shaped, unplanned greenways, which the topography gives a direction, are
largely kept by law codes and regulations. In this work, on current plan of the city, the existing and potential
green areas are investigated and the uses (recreation, protecting etc.) that these greenways will be able to make it
possible are studied.
Location of Kayseri City and Its Short History
Kayseri is a Central Anatolian city (Figure 1). It is a city which is surrounded by hills and settled on a
flat plain. The city is situated in the Central Kızılırmak Region in Central Anatolia. The old city whic is called
“Mazaka” has settled down XI. Century B.C. (Baydur 1970). Kayseri possesses unique natural and cultural
values especially in the near surroundings of the city and within city boundaries. Mount Erciyes which is the
highest mountain in the Central Anatolian District (3917 m), is a magnificent volcanic mountain on the sout part
of Kayseri.
“Kayseri is on an important intersection point which a lot of civilization had chosen for settlement. The
first name of the city was “Hilakku”. Apart from it, the city has named as “Mazaka”, Eusebia”, and it is called
“Caesarea” in Roman and Byzantine times. Since antique times Kayseri has an important settlement as “Small
Cilicia” region in Cappadocia. The “Kültepe Kaniş-Karum” was an important settlement at the time of Assyrian
trade colonies. In Mazaka an its vicinity Hittite, Persian, Cappadocia State, Roman and Turkish sovereignities
by turns. The city which is on the Silk Road was an important settlement in the periods of Greek, Roman,
Byzatine and Seljuk in terms of politics and culture; this importance have been continued in the Ottoman period.
It is not known exactly but, it is considered that the city settled on the plain approximately after XI. Century
(Kurtaslan and Kocatürk 2005)”.

Materials and Methods
In the study, as material, a literature such as article, thesis, book, declaration, plan report, and so on
discussing the concept greenway, and on the city Kayseri were used. However, the satellite pictures, plans,
maps, and original pictures on the study domain, were utilized as visual materials.
In the study, the concept “greenway” based on literature review before all else was used. Later, characteristic
properties (natural and cultural structure) of the existing and potential greenways taking place in the domain of
study will be discussed from satellite images and pictures with the observation made in its place. In respect with
the relationships of greenways with the urban microform, it will be discussed which decisions will be made on
the greenways.
Greenways In Kayseri Urban Complex
As stated earlier, in planning approaches Kayseri city, especially in the city, the concept greenway
takes place. In he city, there are no approaches such as park system, and greenway. Only several parks along the
ways, which have a linear structure, can be attributed as greenway. In this scope, the areas, which take place in
the close neighborhood of the city, and can be attributed as greenway, are partly protected by law codes and
regulations.
In the existing settlement order within the city, there is no possibility to create the greenways within
the city, because there is not any suitable openness, and any structure on which the integrated decisions will be
made. Linear parks in the urban areas and the afforested green sidewalks can be considered in the scope of
greenway. For example, Đnönü Park taking place in the city is a highly long and continuous greenway (Figure 2).
This greenway do not undertakes any connecting way. It has a buffering attribute to compensate the adverse
affects, such as noise and pollution, of the traffic between busy vehicle traffic and dense housing area.

Figure 2. Wiew of Đnönü Parkı on satellite photo (KASKĐ 2002).
The narrow-deep valleys wich are located especially on the south-east of the city are important elements
of the geomorphologicalstructure. The greenways defined by valleys which are located on the south-east and
nort-west are in the semi-rural areas which are adjacent to the city. Especially the urban developments in Talas
and Mimar Sinan settlements which are based on multi story dense development are threatening the
contemporary settlements both in valley slopes and other semi-rural areas. The existence of these semi-rural
settlements has been known from XV. Century and they have been householder for Christian and Moslem
communities until XX. century. In the settlement pattern, there are natural, urban, archeological and mixed
protected areas. These settlements with vineyards and orchards, architectural structures which exhibits local
materials and Works (houses, bridges, stone walls, churches, stone carving houses etc.), underground crossings,
contemporary street patterns presents very important contributions to the identity of the city (Figure 5). In these
traditional settelments vineyards and orchards which are on the valley slopes have been important elements of
the geogaphy until XX. Century which the Armenian, Greek and Turks have lived in as mixed (Imamoglu 2001).
There aren’t traditional settelments in all valleys in the city. Some valleys exist with their natural
situations there aren’t any housing in their vicinitiy

325

�The natural characteristics of valleys have been largely protected. Valleys which slit the plateaus
presents interesting rock formations. These valleys are forming important habitats for birds and other wildlife.
Erciyes Mountain and surrounding areas are poor in terms of permanent streams.

Abstract: There is no suspect that qualified human capital has positive effects on
sustainable development. In particular, on local and regional development, it comes to
the fore. In this respect, when it is evaluated, the importance with regard to this will
come out in terms of regional development issues. In this regard, it is believed that the
urban settlements which has a large portion of the human population is a very effective
element and it has been come forward. Ergonomics in the creation of sustainable cities,
can be considered as an important tool. If this problems that arising from environment
and human conditions is not minimized, the formation of conditions threatened to lives
of individuals are likely to increase. Consequently, this study is expressed that along
with current problem by developing a variety of solutions, providing more qualified
urban life in Erzurum will make a great contribution to sustainable local development.

Introduction
Industrialisation and high urbanization, increasing population brought soil, water, air, noise,
electromagnetic and radioactive pollution as serious environmental problems. As these problems increase, they
affect urban life and ongoing local development negatively. When the subject matter is taken up to Erzurum,
which is the biggest city of Eastern Anatolian Region as the changes made without taking the topographic
structure of the city into consideration after immigrations from neighbor cities and town caused unplanned
urbanization in recent years.Itis seen thatthe cityis unplanned areas are affected by especially air, water, noise,
soil and electromagnetic pollution. And also the deeds of municipalities such as roads, pavements and lightning
are not enough and effective. Those problems are the mostimportant things that cause special investments to
escape from the city and region. Therefore is not seen that Erzurum reach an ongoing local development
potential due tolosing specialinvestment and taking immigrations. As itcan be seen inthisresearch which some
approaches and uses in the centre of ergonomics those problems can be both solved and the city and region’s
ongoing developmentincreased.

The Cities in the Centre of Ergonomics: The City Ergonomics and Environment
It is seen that the process of urbanizations is under bad conditions in developing countries. In such
countries,itis a factthatthe people who live in big urbanized and populated cities find out their own living are
as which are out of health conditions economic,social and above and below structures. Whereas cities survive as
they contain dynamic structures like living organisms. Thus, if it is wanted to changed the process and
tendencies back in citiesitis possibleto make positive changes with serious plans.
Engineers generally define ergonomics that the process of changing acts and needs of human being into
physical forms of engineering or structural systems. (Wolf 2003) Of ergonomics, if one object, one system or
one environment is planned for use of people. Itis a fact that this plan should depend on physical and mental
characteristics of the people who use this object, this system or this environment. (Pheasant 2003) The
approaches of ergonomics help the process of urbanization. The city ergonomics aims to adapt city areas and

under construction systems to people according to biological,sociological and psychological characteristics and
theirlife health and security.
In this study the concept of “The Green Ergonomic Cities” is suggested as a solution to wipe out local
environmental pollution. As its concept and meaning is large the existence of below constructions and their
performance and characteristics (Wolf,ibid.) arethe elements of City Ergonomics.Itincludes a large scale from
height level of the pavements, lightning of the streets, bicycle roads and recreation areas. But, below
constructions about environmental pollution of citiesin which urban people are affected physically,socially and
mentally in great deal,is alimited area. On the other hand,this study is handled in thislimited area.
Because ofthe citiesin which the population intense, showing complicated features the presence of the
extremely planed systems are necessary for providing of services for each dwelling commercial entity and
citizen. (Wolf, ibid.) Especially with these systems which will be made in the cities of countries passing fast
unplanned process,the green ergonomic cities will be created. The presentation of green infrastructure services
is crucial with this aspects. This process needs to save, plan and manage the naturel units and naturel
quallification which includes the feature. (Wolf, ibid.) “Living (green) roofs” being are of the integrated
managing systems, “living walls” filtrating the air particules and bettering the air quality “the usage of the grey
waters” made of a simple pipe system or “gathering the rain drops” are forming some systems. (Arieff,
27.04.2009) Absolutely reviewing the plans of the cities and its being suitable to green infrastructure providing
benefit in citizens disposing the unplanned urbanization, coming out with near enviromental pollution, and
meeting the requestsinthis aspects can be considered.
Precautions are being taken by inactivating the negative conditions of near enviromental pollutions
which may threaten the safety and health of humans in habitats. In the green ergonomic cities in which the
human activities are made suitable by the rules of nature and nature of human. As is known near enviromental
pollutions like trafficjam, airpollution, water pollution and wastesin crowded urbans are affecting the physical
or spiritual health of human in a direct or indirect way on this point of view, the green ergonomic cities
approaches, mentioned with the aim of raising the quality of urban life and making the cities and city tissues
suitable forthe public health must be activated.
By a good planning or contructing healthy habitable cities, near enviromental pollution can be
overcome, while making urban plans,it must paid attention to hand over the plans in the aspect of solving the
enviromental problem in appropriate to urban mental and details. Urban infrastructure systems dumping and
destroying fieldings must be reviewes. While considering the placed functional fields and the relation between
them, the issues enviromental problems must be paid attention. A healthy enviromental which presents a
possibility of reaction with a fresh air among the basic necessities of citizens, a drinking water, public gardens
and green fieldings being multiple requirement can be called an important place on reducing the air pollution.
To prevent air pollution oftraffic, more publicstransports must be need to be developed. The settlement mustn’t
be established nearby water resources for the underground and overground not polluted; also for protecting the
drinkable waterresources,theiraround must be wooded. The achivement ofthe noisethe human can be reduced
by modern construction technologies plant screening systems, precautions like in sources and the managing the
urban systems.
The role of the local councils in the transformation of the cities is indisputably important with a
condition must of cooperation of public institutions and particular institutions about services intended for
protecting the environment and preventing the near environmental pollutions, the most important duties and
responsibilities are the people’s who live in those habitats and the local counsils’. Thus, many valid rules about
environmental issues like municipal and enviromental rules, regulations and precepts gives varius duties the
local councils. Despite the exiting legal regulations, it is seen that the efficiency and effectiveness cannot be
provided in practicein cities.In the councils of complex urbans, and on the analyses of physical structirizes, not
getting enough support from landscape architects, architects, environmental engineers, city developers who are

Urban Pollution and Ergonomics in Erzurum
Erzurum, which isin the east of Turkey an done of the mostimportant cities of Turkey has been affected
by urban pollution. In that city with harsh winter conditions, air pollution is of primary importance. In the city,
water pollution, garbages, unplanned urbanization, soil pollution, erosion, noise pollution, visual pollution, acid
rains and degradation of pastures have been ordered as other environmental problems. (T.C. Çevre ve Orman
Bakanlığı Çevresel Etki Değerlendirmesi Ve Planlama Genel Müdürlüğü Çevre Envanteri Dairesi Başkanlığı
2008) To make a healthy urban planning in Erzurum the urban ecosystem and environmental problems are to be

understood firstly. This, also,is going to enlighten the dynamics of sustainable development.
1. The Air Pollution in Erzurum
In Turkey, air pollution, which was not be ableto be defined until1970s, emerged especiallyin 1970s and
affected all cities between 1970-1995 and was alarmed in more than 30 citiesin 1990s. (Okutan 1996) Itis seen
thatthe case is not very differentin 2000 in Erzurum. As itreached to the threat dimensions about human health
especially in the winter,itisin the agendum of Erzurum as primary concern which needs a solution. According
to the report about The Assessment of Environment Problems and Priorities of Turkey,3 Erzurum is among 24
cities for which air pollution is the primary issue. We can say that the quick and unplanned urbanization,
unqualified use of fuel, unconscious use of fuel, not to burn the boilers suitable for the techniques, use of
unsuitable technology atindustry, wrong choice of the places ofindustry, structure of meteorology, not to make
an environmentally friendly investment or projectin urban communication,traffic concentration and destruction
of forests have the most important effects in it.(Gürel 2008) Because the industry systems are insufficent as it
can be seen in Table 1. There has been a little effect ofthe emissions leftto the atmosphere from these systems
on air pollution. But according tothe data ofthe year 2009,when the contaminators of airhave been ordered,the
industry is in the first and the traffic and domestic warm up (T.C. Çevre ve Orman Bakanlığı Çevresel Etki
Değerlendirmesi Ve Planlama Genel Müdürlüğü Çevre Envanteri Dairesi Başkanlığı, ibid.) is in the second
place. As foritshows thatthe use of natural gas in city and the other precautions have been applied successfully.

Table 1: Air Pollutants and Resource Allocation Be Seen in Erzurum as Connected to Emission Factors
Used in Turkey
In Erzurum placed on a broad plateu covered with Planadöken and Kargapazarı Mountains, due to the
inversion layer placed on the city and called ‘’black cloud’’the density of air pollution incresased considerably
in 12 days in winter in spite of all precautions because of the topographic structure of the urban prevents the
contaminators of air from spreading and falling of speed of wind increases the air pollution. Concerning the
cleaness of natural gas and decresing of pollution ,infrastructure works started atthe end of the year 2005 and
the natural gas began to be used to worm up in 2006. Even afterthat application, although SO2 and PM values
decreased in air pollution,(Eren, Turan 2007)itisseem thatthe air pollution isinthe highestlevel.In quick and
unplanned process of urbanizationin Erzurum the scarcity of green areas has an importantrolein pollution. With
theincreasing ofthe new settlement regions,the contaminators have increased inthe air and these contaminators
worsen the quality of air by moving through the centre ofthe urban.

In Erzurum the population of which is nearly 400.000,itis emphasized thatthe air pollution has reached
to be a threat dimentions for the people and the environment. It can easly be seen that the air pollution has a
negative effect on lifeless beings in Erzurum. It produces negative effects on metal, stone, wooden parts of
buildings and machines by turning into composition of acid.(Keleş, Hamamcı 2005)
2. The Water Pollution in Erzurum
The need for the city of Erzurum’s drinking water largely provided by the ground water. Moreover;
Palandöken Dam, although its having been completed, was builtto fullfillthe need of the city’s drinking water
for 50 yearsinthe near future and hasn’t been functioned yet effectively.(Sarsanet al. 2004)
Excessive usage of natural resources, uncontrolled and disorganized industrialization activities and
urbanization as well as domestic, industrial and agricultural based activities have been pointed out among the
primary reasons for he deterioration of the quality of water supply in Erzurum. The lack of sewerage system or
itsits being inadequate, notincreasing domesticfutured waste water atthe settlement, big industries’ notrefining
waste water, no mass refining in smallindustries, cesspool waste’s not being builteffectively, unloding cesspool
wastes to randomly places after having been withdrawn by sewerage truck, uncontrolled usage of pesticites,
usage of chemical manure, inadequate capacity and efficiency of purification facility and the crew’s being
inadequate in purification facility, are the reasons for water resources’ pollution. (T.C. Çevre ve Orman
Bakanlığı Çevresel Etki Değerlendirmesi Ve Planlama Genel Müdürlüğü Çevre Envanteri Dairesi Başkanlığı,
ibid.) Reservoirs constantly have been disinfected by municipalityin orderto avoid negative consequences ofthe
polluted water.(Sarsan et al. 2004) In spite ofthis; because of the pollution ofthe waterresourses and city water
supply in Erzurum, water based diseases can emerge such as typoid, cholera, hepatit A, salmonella species,
bacillery dysentery, amoebic dysentery, acute bloody diarrhea.
3. The Soil Pollution in Erzurum
Erzurum city in which soil pollution is the fifth primary problem has been indicated among seven
provinces in the country, although soil pollution comes right after the water pollution in the city.4 Although
agricultural activities, urbanization, wild storage and industrialisation claimed to be responsiblethe soil pollution
atthe period of 2007-2008, (T.C. Çevre ve Orman Bakanlığı Çevresel Etki Değerlendirmesi Ve Planlama Genel
Müdürlüğü Çevre EnvanteriDairesi Başkanlığı,ibid.) concrete data haven’t been produced about soil pollution.
Besides, due to the fact that the city lands are not used properly for their own futures,this emerges as another
important problem concerning the city lands. For example,it has been pointed out that the place which have
mainly the tourism and agricultural potential and which supposed to be used for the settlements were given
reconstruction permit.(Sarsan et al.Đbid.) However;liquid, solid, gas contaminants of industrial establishments
must be managed in accordance withlegislation ofthe Ministry Environment and Forestry,in orderto avoid soil
pollution. There has been a remarable effordinterms of enhancing regularstorage places,providing urbanization
in accordance with town planning and supplying fertilisation, disinfestation as well as irrigation in accordance
with legislation ofthe Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs.(T.C. Çevre ve Orman Bakanlığı Çevresel Etki
Değerlendirmesi Ve Planlama Genel Müdürlüğü Çevre Envanteri Dairesi Başkanlığı,ibid.)
4. The Noise (Acoustic) Pollution in Erzurum
The noise pollution in Erzurum, especially in the lasttwenty years, has occurred as a problem regarding
the increase in the number of vehicles connected with population growth and economic developmentin the city.
The mostimportant noise sources for Erzurum isthe vehiculartrafficthatresultfrom transport withinthe city.In
this regard, it has a huge impact (Yılmaz, Özer 2005) which the wrong behavior of the drivers, horn, roads
disorder, sudden braking and technical problems, rapid departure and the influence of noise caused without
muffler,ragged and old vehicles.
If you take into consideration the noise measurement did in various residential areas within the city
limitsin 2007 and 2008, as seen in Table 2,itis seemed thatthe high noise level on the streets shaping
the basictransport network of the city. Accordingly,the noise levelinthis street was over 70 dB.

Table 2: The Noise Measurement didin Various Residential Areas
within The City Limitsin 2007 and 2008
In a survey made to determine the sensitivity of public on noise pollution in the city of Erzurum, it has
been identified within the city of 50% of the citizen, within the workplace of 20% of their and within housing of
30% of their disturbing due to the noise. (Yılmaz, Özer 2001) It has been controlthat small businesses such as
industry associations, businesses, workshops, workplaces and indicate that in reconstruction plan’s works the
measurestaken inthe direction ofindustry organizations, workplaces and workshops mustbe creation outside of
settlement areas. (T.C. Çevre ve Orman Bakanlığı Çevresel Etki Değerlendirmesi Ve Planlama Genel
Müdürlüğü Çevre Envanteri Dairesi Başkanlığı,ibid.)

Conclusion
Today, environmental problems in cities have come to the fore. This problems with this aspect is
prevented the city and the region's sustainable development at local level. Because in cities have been
concentration of air, water, soil and electromagnetic pollution and the heavy living conditions qualified human
capitalis almostimpossible to keep. A region retain in the qualified human capitalthatthe most basic elements
of sustainable development atlocallevel does not seem possibleto be on increase.
In this study, in Erzurum province, with an ergonomics perspective, air, water, soil and noise pollution
were included. The important deficiencies and problems in Erzurum in terms of these elements are there. The
false in terms of administrative decision-making process, the errors in land use decisions, illegal housing and
inadequacy of economic is to structural changes often adversely affect and create existing structures an
inappropriate tissue of a settlement and unplanned urbanization. In this regard being a charm center in terms of
qualified human capital of the city is impossible. For this, all parties such as municipalities, public institutions
and civilsociety organizations,especially by accepting a milestone before of 2011 Universiad Winter Olympics,
in the framework of an emergency action plan should meet at a common point. To be done should start and be
applied with the requirements of the ergonomic city, namely focus on human and environment, functional,

UREDBA BRISSEL IIa U SVJETLU PRAKSE SUDA EUROPSKE
UNIJE
U radu su predstavljene i analizirane odluke Suda EU u vezi sa
tumačenjem Uredbe Brissel IIa u kojima se Sud EU rukovodio najboljim
interesom djeteta. Sud EU vezan je načelom najboljeg interesa djeteta kao
vrhovnim kriterijem u svim postupcima vezanim za djecu, što se i navodi u
propisima primarnog i sekundarnog prava – čl. 24. Povelje EU o temeljnim
pravima i preambula 33 Uredbe Brissel IIa. Osobito važnim smatra se stav Suda
EU da se Uredba Brissel IIa treba tumačiti u svjetlu prava navedenih u Povelji
EU o temeljnim pravima, posebno prava djeteta. Radi se o izuzetno dinamičnoj
oblasti te je, za razvoj bosanskohercegovačkog međunarodnog privatnog prava,
od posebne važnosti imati kontinuirani pregled ne samo zakonodavne već i
sudske aktivnost unutar Europske unije koja je već sada izgradile neke opće
pravce razvoja europskog međunarodnog porodičnog prava.
Ključne riječi: Uredba Brissel IIa, Sud EU, Povelja EU o temeljnim
pravima, najbolji interes djeteta.
1. Uvod
Uredba 2201/2003 o nadležnosti i priznanju i izvršenju odluka u
bračnim predmetima i predmetima roditeljske odgovornosti1 donesena je 27. 11.
2003. godine, a stupila je na snagu 1. 3. 2005. godine, derogiravši Uredbu
1347/2000 o nadležnosti i priznanju i izvršenju odluka u bračnoj materiji i
materiji roditeljskog staranja o zajedničkoj djeci bračnih partnera od 20. 5. 2000.
godine.2 Na snazi je u svim zemljama članicama Europske unije s izuzetkom
Danske. Donošenje ove Uredbe predstavlja još jedan dokaz u prilog stajalištu da
se porodičnopravna pitanja smatraju bitnim dijelom europskih integracija i da su
države članice, unatoč značajnoj razlici koja postoji između materijalnopravnih,
kolizionopravnih i jurisdikcionih rješenja nacionalnih pravnih poredaka, u stanju
postići sporazum o jedinstvenim pravilima koja se odnose na neku od važnih
porodičnopravnih situacija sa međunarodnim elementom. 3
U materiji u kojoj je donesena, bračnim predmetima i predmetima
roditeljske odgovornosti, zamjenjuje unutarnja pravila država članica. Naime,
Uredba kao najznačajniji izvor sekundarnog prava Europske unije, obavezujuća
je u cijelosti i neposredno se primjenjuje u državama članicama u skladu sa

pravila Uredbe Brissel IIa u odnosu na unutarnje propise međunarodnog
privatnog prava.5 Tumačenje Uredbe Brissel IIa u nadležnosti je Suda pravde
EU. Kako bi se postigla jedinstvena primjena komunitarnih propisa, jedna od
značajnih nadležnosti Suda pravde EU je i vođenje postupka prethodnog
odlučivanja ili tumačenja u smislu tumačenja prava Europske unije. 6 Svaki
nacionalni sud može tražiti tumačenje uredbi u formi prethodnog odlučivanja
pred sudom, što u konačnici vodi jedinstvenom tumačenju i primjeni uredbi kao
najznačajnijeg izvora Europskog međunarodnog privatnog prava.7
Stupanjem na snagu Uredbe Brissel IIa, marta 2005. godine, Sud EU
uvrstio se u red porodičnih sudova. Posebno intenzivno, Sud EU bavio se sa
dijelom Uredbe Brissel IIa koja regulira oblast roditeljskog staranja. U radu
ćemo predstaviti i analizirati one odluke u kojima se Sud EU obrazlažući ih,
pozivao na najbolji interes djeteta kao vrhovni kriterij u svim postupcima
vezanim za djecu. Vidjet ćemo da se radi o jednoj izuzetno dinamičnoj oblasti
europskog međunarodnog porodičnog prava.
Za razvoj bosanskohercegovačkog međunarodnog privatnog prava od
posebne važnosti je pratiti ne samo zakonodavnu već i sudsku aktivnost unutar
Europske unije koja je već sada izgradile neke opće pravce razvoja europskog
međunarodnog procesnog prava u oblasti roditeljske odgovornosti.
2. Sudska praksa Suda EU u vezi sa tumačenjem Uredbe Brissel IIa
Jedna od važnih nadležnosti Suda EU jeste tumačenje izvora europskog
primarnog i sekundarnog prava u postupku prethodnog odlučivanja, a sve s
ciljem sprječavanja različite interpretacije komunitarnih propisa, odnosno
njihove jednoobrazne primjene. Sudovi država članica, kao redovni sudovi u
primjeni propisa Europske unije, mogu tražiti od Suda EU da odluči o pitanju
koje se tiče europskog prava, a koje se pojavilo u postupku koji vode, ako je
odluka o pitanju nužna za donošenje presude (čl. 267. Ugovora o funkcioniranju
EU). Odluka suda je obavezujuća, nije samo prosto mišljenje, ne samo za sud
države članice koji je pokrenuo postupak prethodnog odlučivanja već i za druge
sudove te države članice ali i svih ostalih država članica. S obzirom da je
postupak prethodnog odlučivanja samo dio postupka koji se odvija pred
nacionalnim sudom, možemo pretpostaviti da se radi o dugotrajnim postupcima.

Čl. 288. Ugovora o funkcioniranju EU (ex čl. 249. Ugovora o EZ).
Prednost u primjeni postoji i odnosu na konvencije i međunarodne ugovore koji su prije stupanja
na snagu Uredbe Brissel IIa zaključeni između dvije ili više država članica. Ovakva
supremacijaUredbe kao komunitarnog akta sasvim je logična ako se uzme u obzir da
međunarodni ugovori ratifikacijom postaju dio unutanjeg pravnog poretka svake države. Takvi
ugovori proizvode pravne učinke samo u odnosu na pitanja na koja se uredba ne odnosi – čl. 59. –
62. Uredbe Brissel IIa.

�Upravo zbog toga uveden je hitni prethodni postupak (PPU, od
francuskog procédure préliminaire dʼurgence)8. Hitni prethodni postupak
primjenjuje su u predmetima od stvarne hitnosti, npr. sporovi o roditeljskom
staranju nad djetetom, a daje mogućnost Sudu pravde EU da znatno brže
odlučuje.9 Međutim, bez obzira da li se radi o hitnom postupku ili ne, Sud EU
vezan je načelom najboljeg interesa što se i navodi u propisima primarnog i
sekundarnog prava. Naime, Poveljom EU o temeljnim pravima 10 određuju se
temeljna prava koja Europska unija i države članice moraju poštovati pri
provedbi prava Europske unije. Riječ je o pravno obvezujućem instrumentu koji
je donesen kako bi se izričito priznala i osigurala transparentnost uloge koju
temeljna prava imaju u pravnom poretku Europske unije. U čl. 24. koji nosi
naslov Prava djeteta Povelja navodi da: „Djeca imaju pravo na zaštitu i brigu
koja je potrebna za njihovu dobrobit. Djeca mogu slobodno izražavati svoje
mišljenje. Njihovo mišljenje uzima se u obzir u pitanjima koja se na njih odnose,
u skladu s njihovom dobi i zrelosti. U svakom djelovanju koje se odnosi na
djecu, bez obzira na to provodi li ga tijelo vlasti ili privatna ustanova, primarni
cilj mora biti zaštita interesa djeteta. svako dijete ima pravo na održavanje
redovnog osobnog odnosa i neposredni kontakt s oba roditelja, osim kada je to u
suprotnosti sa zaštitom njegovih interesa“. Uredba Brissel IIa priznaje temeljna
prava i poštuje načela Povelje EU o temeljnim pravima, a osobito nastoji
osigurati poštivanje temeljnih prava djeteta, opisanih u već spomenutom čl. 24.
(preambula 33.).
Predstavit ćemo i analizirati odluke Suda EU u vezi sa tumačenjem
Uredbe Brissel IIa u kojima se Sud EU rukovodio najboljim interesom djeteta.

Service Execuative/S.C., A.C.15.
2.1. Odluka u predmetu Detiček v. Sgueglio od 23. 12. 2009.
Sud EU je 23. 12. 2009. godine donio odluku u predmetu Detiček v.
Sgueglio postupajući po Zahtjevu za prethodno tumačenje čl. 20. Uredbe Brissel
IIa Višeg suda u Mariboru. Činjenice u ovom predmetu su sljedeće: Gospođa
Detiček, slovenska državljanka, i gospodin Sgueglio, talijanski državljanin,
živjeli su u Italiji sa svojom zajedničkom kćerkom. Godine 2007. podnijeli su
nadležnom talijanskom sudu zahtjev za razvod braka. Sud je, postupajući u
ovom predmetu, dana 25. 7. 2007. godine donio odluku kojom privremeno
dodjeljuje roditeljsko staranje nad kćeri ocu, te naredio privremeni smještaj
djeteta u doma za djecu. Istog dana, majka sa kćerkom napušta Italiju i
nastanjuje se u Sloveniji. Nakon što je 22. 11. 2007. godine Okružni sud u
Mariboru, a zatim 2. 10. 2008. godine i Vrhovni sud Slovenije, proglasio odluku
izvršnom, Općinski sud u Slovenskoj Bistrici započeo je izvršni postupak radi
vraćanja djeteta ocu i smještaja u dom za djecu. Međutim, ovaj sud je odlukom
od 2. 2. 2009. godine obustavio izvršenje do konačne odluke talijanskog suda. U
međuvremenu, 28. 11. 2008. godine gospođa Detiček podnijela je Okružnom
sud u Mariboru zahtjev za povjeravanje roditeljskog staranja u okviru
privremenih mjera (mjera osiguranja). Sud je odlukom od 9. 12. 2008. godine
odobrio zahtjev gospođe Detiček i dodijelio joj privremeno roditeljsko staranje
nad kćerkom. Svoju oduku Sud je zasnovao na čl. 20. Uredbe Brissel IIa i čl. 13.
Haške konvencije o građanskopravnim aspektima međunarodne otmice djece iz
1980. godine navodeći kao obrazloženje promijenjene okolnosti slučaja i
najbolji interes djeteta. Sud je utvrdio da se Antonella socijalno integrirala u
slovensko društvo te da bi povratak u Italiju i prisilni smještaj u dom za djecu
bio u suprotnosti sa najboljim interesom djeteta i da bi kod djevojčice izazvao
ireverzibilnu fizičku i psihičku traumu. Inače, Antonella je u toku sudskog
postupka pred slovenskim sudom izrazila želju da ostane živjeti s majkom.
Gospodin Sgueglia je uložio žalbu na ovu odluku, a Sud ju je 29. 6. 2009.
godine odbio. Protiv ove odluke gospodin Sgueglia je pokrenuo postupak pred
Višim sudom u Mariboru koji se obratio Sudu EU sa pitanjem: da li je sud u
Republici Sloveniji shodno čl. 20. Uredbe Brissel IIa nadležan za donošenje
privremenih mjera, uključujući mjere osiguranja, ako je sud druge države
članice, nadležan za odlučivanje u glavnoj stvari, već donio odluku o ovim
mjerama, koja je u Republici Sloveniji proglašena izvršnom? Ako je odgovor na
prethodno pitanje potvrdan, može li slovenski sud primjenjujući nacionalno
pravo (što je shodno čl. 20. Uredbe Brissel IIa dopušteno) i donoseći odluku o

�privremenim mjerama, uključujući mjere osiguranja sukladno čl. 20. Uredbe
Brissel IIa promijeniti ili poništiti pravosnažnu i izvršnu odluku o ovim mjerama
koju je donio sud druge države članice (koji je nadležan za odlučivanje u glavnoj
stvari).
Sud EU je na oba pitanja odrično odgovorio pozivajući se na dosadašnju
sudsku praksu (C-523/07 Podnositelj A16). Donošenje privremenih mjera,
uključujući mjere osiguranja može se temeljiti na čl. 20. Uredbe Brissel IIa samo
ako su kumulativno ispunjenja tri uvjeta: mjere moraju biti hitne, trebaju se
odnositi na osobe i imovinu koja se nalazi u državi foruma i imati privremeni
karakter. U pogledu prvog uvjeta, hitnosti, Sud EU utvrdio je da u ovom slučaju
nije ispunjen. Naime, slovenski sud prve instance je svoju odluku o dodjeli
privremenog roditeljskog staranja majci temeljio na promijenjenim okolnostima,
dobroj integraciji djeteta u novo okruženje, što je u stvari posljedica nezakonitog
odvođenja djeteta od strane majke u Sloveniju (čl. 2. st. 11. Uredbe Brissel IIa) i
shodno tome ne može biti temelj za zasnivanje nadležnosti slovenskog suda.
Također, ni drugi uvjet nije zadovoljen, s obzirom da gospodin Sgueglia nema
redovno boravište u Sloveniji. Zaštita najboljeg interesa djeteta ne podliježe
različitim tumačenjima, odnosno ne smije se zanemariti temeljno pravo djeteta
na održavanje osobnih odnosa i neposrednih kontakata sa oba roditelja (čl. 24. st.
3. Povelje o temeljnim pravima), a koje je nezakonitim odvođenjem direktno
ugroženo.
U predmetu Detiček v. Sgueglio Suda EU je kao argument naveo pravo
djeteta na ostvarivanje osobnih kontakata s oba roditelja što je navedeno u
Povelji EU o temeljnim pravima i u preambuli 33. Uredbe Brissel IIa. Međutim,
nije uzeo u obzir okolnosti konkretnog slučaja: uputu talijanskog suda o
privremenom smještaju djeteta u dom za nezbrinutu djecu (tako da dijete uopće
neće živjeti sa svojim ocem), želju jedanaestogodišnjeg djeteta da živi s majkom,
kao i činjenicu da se dijete integriralo u slovensko društvo.17 Čini se da je
namjera Suda EU bila „ne nagraditi“ odvođenje djeteta, što je i ispravno. Pa
ipak, šteta je što je Sud EU zanemario, možda i zbog činjenice da se radilo o
hitnom postupku, neke od spomenutih okolnosti.
2.2. Odluka u predmetu Povse v. Alpago od 1. 7. 2010.
Sud pravde EU je 1. 7. 2010. godine donio odluku u premetu Povse v.
Alpago postupajući po Zahtjevu za prethodnim tumačenjem čl. 10. sl. b. cif. iv.
(nadležnost u slučajevima otmice djeteta), čl. 11. st. 8. (povratak djeteta) i čl. 47.
st. 2. (postupak izvršenja) Uredbe Brissel IIa Vrhovnog suda Austrije. Činjenice
u ovom predmetu su sljedeće: gospođa Povse i gospodin Alpago, koji nisu
vjenčani, žive do kraja januara 2008. godine zajedno sa svojom kćerkom u
Italiji. Oni ostvaruju zajedničko roditeljsko staranje shodno čl. 317. talijanskog
Građanskog zakona. Nakon prekida vanbračne zajednice, majka s kćerkom
napušta zajednički stan. Iako je talijanski sud postupajući u hitnom postupku po

87

�očevom zahtjevu donio odluku 8. 2. 2008. godine kojom zabranjuje majci da s
djetetom napusti Italiju, u februaru 2008. godine njih dvije odlazi u Austriju.
Otac se 16. 4. 2008. godine obraća austrijskom općinskom sudu tražeći povratak
djeteta u Italiju na temelju čl. 12. Haške konvencije o građanskopravnim
aspektima međunarodne otmice djeteta. Talijanski sud 23. 5. 2008. godine
donosi novu odluku kojom ukida zabranu napuštanja Italije, privremeno
roditeljsko staranje dodjeljuje zajednički ocu i majci, s tim da dijete do konačne
odluke smije ostati s majkom u Austriji. Istom odlukom utvrđuju se modaliteti
ostvarivanja prava na posjetu, odnosno održavanja osobnih odnosa i neposrednih
kontakata oca sa djetetom te se zahtijeva od nadležnog socijalnog radnika
izvještaj o tome. Iako je talijanski sud ovu odluku donio vodeći računa o
najboljem interesu djeteta, samo njeno provođenje, prema izvještaju socijalnog
radnika, a zbog majčinog opstruiranja, nije bilo u skladu sa najboljim interesom
djeteta. Austrijski općinski sud 3. 6. 2008. godine odbija očev zahtjev za
povratkom djeteta, međutim viši sud 1. 9. 2008. godine ukida ovu odluku jer
gospodin Alpago nije bio saslušan shodno čl. 11. st. 5. Uredbe Brissel IIa, te
predmet vraća na ponovno odlučivanje prvostepenom sudu. Ovaj sud 21. 11.
2008. godine ponovo odbija zahtjev za povratak djeteta pozivajući se na odluku
talijanskog suda da dijete privremeno živi s majkom. Drugostepeni sud 7. 1.
2009. godine potvrđuje ovu odluku navodeći u obrazloženju da postoji ozbiljna
opasnost da bi povratak mogao izazvati psihološke traume za dijete u vezi sa čl.
13. tač. b. Haške konvencije o građanskopravnim aspektima međunarodne
otmice djeteta.
Do konflikta nadležnosti dolazi kada se austrijski općinski sud 26. 5.
2009. godine na zahtjev majke, da joj se dodijeli pojedinačno roditeljsko
staranje, bez saslušanja oca (čl. 15. st. 5. Uredbe Brissel IIa) oglasi nadležnim i
istovremeno zatraži od talijanskog suda da se oglasi nenadležnim. Međutim, otac
je već 9. 4. 2009. godine pokrenuo pred talijanskim sudom postupak o povratku
djeteta na temelju čl. 11. St. 8. Uredbe Brissel IIa. U tom postupku učestvovala
je i majka izjašnjavajući se za provođenje programa posjete između oca i kćerke,
bez spominjanja postupka koji je pokrenula u Austriji. Suprotno postignutom
dogovoru, program posjete se ne sprovodi te talijanski sud 10. 7. 2009. godine
nalaže trenutni povratak djeteta u Italiji te izdaje i potvrdu o izvršnom nalogu
prema čl. 42. Uredbe Brissel IIa. Također, potvrđuje svoju nadležnost jer uvjeti
za ustupanje nadležnosti austrijskom sudu prema čl. 10. Uredbe Brissel IIa nisu
ispunjeni.
U ovom periodu, tačnije 25. 8. 2009. godine, austrijski općinski sud
donosi privremenu mjeru kojom privremeno roditeljsko staranje dodjeljuje
majci. Kopija odluke, koja prema austrijskom pravu postaje 23. 9. 2009. godine
pravosnažna, šalje se poštom ocu bez pouke o žalbi i prijevoda.
Otac 22. 9. 2009. godine traži od austrijskog suda izvršenje odluke kojom se
nalaže povratak djeteta. Dok općinski sud, pozivajući se na najbolji interes
djeteta odbija ovu odluku, okružni sud nalaže povratak djeteta. Majka se žali
Vrhovnom sudu Austrije koji Sudu EU upućuje Zahtjev za prethodno
odlučivanje. U ovom Zahtjevu radi se o, s jedne strane, kvalifikaciji odluke
88

�talijanskog suda od 23. 5. 2008. godine odnosno 10. 7. 2009. godine u svjetlu
činjenica čl. 10. i čl. 11. st. 8. Uredbe Brissel IIa, a s druge strane o mogućnosti
odbijanja izvršenja odluke popraćene potvrdom o izvršnom nalogu, a s tim u
vezi i mogućnost austrijskog pravosuđa da odbije povratak djeteta.
Sud EU ovaj postupak prethodnog odlučivanja iskoristio je za potvrdu i dodatno
pojašnjenja stavova zauzetih u predmetu Rinau18 iz 2008. godine, a koji se tiču
izvršenja odluke o povratku djeteta.
Vrhovni sud Austrije je, prije svega, izrazi sumnju u postojanje
nadležnost talijanskog suda prema čl. 11. st. 8. Uredbe Brissel IIa. Naime,
odluku o povratku djeteta može donijeti samo suda nadležan prema odredbama
Uredbe, a talijanski sud, s obzirom da su se ispunile činjenice navedene u čl. 10.
sl. b. cif. iv. Uredbe Brissel IIa – donio odluku o roditeljskom staranje bez
naloga za povratak djeteta – nije više bio nadležan. Sud EU je otklonio sumnje
austrijskog suda navodeći je talijanski sud donio samo privremenu odluku o
roditeljskom staranju i ostanku djeteta sa majkom u Austriji i to do donošenja
konačne odluke. Međutim, konačnu odluku nije bilo moguće donijeti jer dijete
nije vraćeno u Italiju. Izuzetak od perpetuiranju nadležnosti nakon odvođenja
djeteta naveden u čl. 10. sl. b. cif. iv. Uredbe Brissel IIa, prema stavu Suda EU
moguć je samo nakon donošenja konačne odluke o roditeljskom staranju bez
naloga za povratak djeteta.19 Stoga odluka talijanskog suda kojom se nalaže
trenutni povratak djeteta u Italiju treba biti izvršena, i to bez obzira na ranije
odluke austrijskih sudova koje odbijaju priznanje ove odluke pozivajući se na čl.
13. Haške konvencije o građanskopravnim aspektima međunarodne otmice
djeteta.
Suda pravde EU je na pitanje prekludira li kasnije donesena odluka suda
države priznanja koja je postala pravosnažna i izvršna, a kojom se majci
dodjeljuje privremeno staranje djeteta, izvršenje ranije donesene odluke
nadležnog suda u državi porijekla odluke kojom se nalaže povratak djeteta i koja
je popraćena potvrdom o izvršnom nalogu, odgovorio negativno. Svoj stav
zasnovao je na Preambuli 24 i čl. 42. st. 1. i 43. st. 2. Uredbe Brissel IIa iz kojih
jasno proizlazi da izdavanje potvrde o izvršnom nalogu nije podložno pravnim
lijekovima te da je odluka popraćena takvom potvrdom automatski izvršna, bez
mogućnosti odbijanja priznanja. Protivljenje priznanju predstavlja zaobilaženja
režima izvršenja ustanovljenog kroz čl. 40. – čl. 50. Uredbe Brissel IIa. Stoga se
izvršenje odluke o povratku djeteta talijanskog suda od 10. 7. 2009. godine ne

19
Ova odluka Suda pravde EU, prema mišljenju pojedinih autora, iritntna je. Zašto je Sud pravde
EU uopće odgovarao na pitanje Vrhovnog suda Austrije kada se zna da sud države priznanja i
izvršenja odluke ne smije provjeravati nadležnost suda donošenja odluke. Provjera nadležnosti
isključena je prema čl. 24. Uredbe Brissel Iia. Sud pravde Eu je ovo pitanje trebao odbaciti kao
nedopustivo, mada objašnjenje za postupa u ovom predmetu vjerojatno leži u činjnici da Sud
koristi svaku priliku da razjasni pitanja tumačenja odredaba Uredbe Brissel IIa. Dutta, A., Schulz,

�može odbiti pozivajući se na postojanje pravosnažne odluke austrijskog suda od
25. 8. 2009. godine.
I na kraju, zahtjev za izvršenje odluke popraćene potvrdom o izvršnom
nalogu ne može biti odbijen zbog toga što su se od njenog donošenja okolnosti
toliko promijenile da bi izvršenje odluke predstavljalo opasnost za ostvarivanje
najboljeg interesa djeteta. O najboljem interesu djeteta odlučuje sud države
porijekla odluke, što je i u skladu sa sistematikom Uredbe Brissel IIa. Također,
isti sud nadležan je i za odlučivanje o zahtjevu za prekidom postupka izvršenja
odluke koju je donio.
U predmetu Povse v. Alpago Sud EU je naglasio da se odluka o povratku
djeteta snabdjevena potvrdom u smislu čl. 42. ima se priznati i izvršiti u drugoj
državi članici bez bilo kakve mogućnosti protivljenja njezinom priznanju.
Drugačije postupanje nacionalnih sudova predstavljalo bi zaobilaženja režima
priznanja i izvršenja ustanovljenog Uredbom Brissel IIa Također, podvukao je, i
to s pravom, da odgovornost za ocjenu najboljeg interesa djeteta leži, u prvom
redu, na sudu nadležnom prema odredbama Uredbe Brissel IIa. Ostaje otvoreno
da li makar u izuzetnim situacija dodijeliti ograničenu odgovornost i organima
države u kojoj se dijete nalazi.
2.3. Odluka u predmetu J. McB. v. L.E. od 5. 10. 2010.
Sud EU je 5. 10. 2010. godine donio odluku u premetu J. McB. v. L.E.
postupajući po Zahtjevu za prethodno tumačenje čl. 2. st. 11. (nezakonito
odvođenje) a u vezi s čl. 2. st. 9. (pravo na roditeljsko staranje) Uredbe Brissel
IIa i tumačenje čl. 7. Povelje o temeljnim pravima EU20 Vrhovnog suda Irske.
Činjenice u ovom predmetu su sljedeće: Irac g. McB. i Engleskima g. E., koji
su više od deset godina živjeli u vanbračnoj zajednici u različitim državama, a
od novembra 2008. godine su sa prebivalištem u Irskoj, imaju troje djece.
Krajem 2008. godine i početkom 2009. godine odnosi između vanbračnih
partnera su do te mjere pogoršani da je gospođa E. sa djecom u više navrata
boravila u „sigurnoj kući“. Usprkos pomirenju i utvrđivanju termina vjenčanja,
početkom jula 2009. godine majka sa djecom konačno napušta oca, koji 15. jula
2009. godine podnosi zahtjev pred irskim sudom za pokretanje postupak za
dobivanje staranja za svo troje djece. Do 25. jula 2009. godine, kada majka sa
djecom odlazi u Englesku, podnesak kojim je postupak pred irskim sudom
pokrenut nije dostavljen majci te ni sam postupak nije mogao biti pokrenut. Otac
djece, gospodin McB je 2. novembra 2009. godine pokrenuo postupak pred
Visokom sudom pravde Engleske i Walesa zahtijevajući povratak djece u Irsku u
skladu sa odredbama Haške konvencije o građanskopravnim aspektima
međunarodne otmice djece iz 1980. godine i Uredbe Brissel IIa. Engleski sud je
odlukom od 20. novembra 2009. godine pozivajući se na čl. 15. Haške
konvencije, zatražio od oca da predoči odluku irskog nadležnog organa kojom je
20

Čl. 7. Povelje EU o temeljnim pravima: „ Svako ima pravo na poštivanje svog privatnog i
porodičnog života, doma i komuniciranja.“

�utvrđeno da je odvođenje djece bilo nezakonito. Shodno tome, gospodin McB je
22. novembra 2009. godine pokrenuo postupak pred Visokim sudom Irske
tražeći odluku da je odvođenje djece bilo nezakoniti te dodjelu roditeljskog
staranja. Odlukom od 28. aprila 2010. godine prvi zahtjev je odbačen jer otac u
tom periodu nije imao pravo na roditeljsko staranje. Povodom žalbe koju je otac
uložio, Vrhovni sud Irske je u okviru Zahtjeva za prethodno tumačenje postavio
Sudu pravde EU pitanje da li je državi članici zabranjeno, shodno Uredbi Brissel
IIa i čl. 7. Povelje o temeljnim pravima EU, predvidjeti prema svom
nacionalnom pravu da vanbračni otac djeteta ima pravo na roditeljsko staranje
samo onda kada mu je ono dodijeljeno odlukom nadležnog suda, pa da shodno
tome odvođenje djece iz države njihovog uobičajenog boravišta bude smatrano
nezakonitim prema čl. 2. st. 11. Uredbe Brissel IIa.
Sud EU je zanijekao ovo pitanje sa sljedećim obrazloženjem: Iako se
pojam „pravo na roditeljsko staranje“ prema čl. 2. st. 9. Uredbe Brissel IIa
autonomno tumači, treba ga razlikovati od pitanje kome pripada to pravo.
Uredba ne normira uvjete za stjecanje prava na roditeljsko staranje, već je za to
pitanje mjerodavno pravo države u kojoj je dijete imalo redovno boravište
neposredno prije odvođenja (tač. 42. i 43.). Prema ovome pravu određuju se i
uvjeti za sjecanje prava na roditeljsko staranje vanbračnog oca. Sud EU osvrnuo
se na čl. 7. Povelje o temeljnim pravima EU, ali i na čl. 8. Konvencije o ljudskim
pravima i relevantnu praksu Europskog suda za ljudska prava. S jedne strane,
Sud EU može „provjeravati“, u svjetlu odredaba Povelje, samo komunitarno
pravo, dakle Uredbu Brissel IIa, a ne i nacionalno pravo država članica. S druge
strane, Europski sud za ljudska prava je u vezi sa čl. 8. Konvencije o ljudskim
pravima zauzeo stav da nacionalna pravila prema kojima biološkom ocu djeteta
ne pripada automatski pravo na roditeljsko staranje nisu protivna odredbama
Konvencije, ako je ocu djeteta omogućeno sudskim putem zahtijevati dodjelu
prava na roditeljsko staranje.21 Spomenuti čl. 7. Povelje potrebno je promatrati i
u kontekstu najboljeg interesa djeteta navedenog u čl. 24. st. 2. Povelje: „U
svakom djelovanju koje se odnosi na djecu,…., primarni cilj mora biti zaštita
interesa djeteta.“ To proizlazi i iz Preambule 33. Uredbe Brissel IIa u kojoj stoji
da Uredba priznaje temeljna prava i poštuje načela Povelje, a posebno nastoji
osigurati poštivanje temeljnih prava djeteta opisanih u čl. 24. Povelje. Prema
stajalištu Suda pravde EU, najbolji interes djeteta prema čl. 24. st. 2. Povelje
zaštićen je s obzirom da zahtjev prema kome biološkom ocu djeteta pripada
pravo na roditeljsko staranje samo temeljem odluke suda, omogućava
nadležnom sudu da odluku o roditeljskom staranju i ostvarivanju osobnih
kontakata donese uzimaju ću u obzir sve relevantne činjenice, posebice vrstu
odnosa između roditelja, vezu djeteta sa ocem i majkom kao i njihovu
sposobnost da preuzmu staranje (tač. 62.).
Sud pravde EU je u svojoj odluci zauzeo stav da se Brissel IIa mora
tumačiti na način da njene odredbe ne sprječavaju državu članicu čije pravo traži

�da vanbračni otac djeteta svoje pravo na roditeljsko staranje dokaže odlukom
suda, da od njega traži takvu odluku, te se jedino na temelju takve odluke
odvođenje ili zadržavanje djeteta prema čl. 2. st. 11. Uredbe Brissel IIa može
smatrati nezakonitim.
Roditeljsko staranje bilo je predmetom razmatranja Suda EU u predmetu
J. McB. v. L.E. Naime, Uredba Brissel IIa definira u čl. 2. st. 9. pojam „pravo na
roditeljsko staranje“ kao pravo i obavezu koja se odnosi na roditeljsko staranje
nad djetetom, a posebno na pravo određivanja djetetova uobičajenog boravišta.
Dakle, ovaj pojam se autonomno tumači, a ne prema shvaćanjima nacionalnog
prava.22 Potreba za autonomnim tumačenjem pravila europskog prava s ciljem
uspostavljanja harmonije u pravosudnom prostoru Europske unije (koja bi inače
bila ugrožena različitom interpretacijom pravila od strane nacionalnih sudova
država članica), sasvim je opravdana i razumljiva. Međutim, u ovom slučaju
teško je moguće pojam roditeljsko staranje tumačiti potpuno autonomno bez
osvrtanja na nacionalno pravo. Navode se četiri razloga 23, s kojima se moramo
složiti. Kao prvi razloga navodi se da je pojam roditeljsko staranje znatno
složeniji od pojma redovno boravište koji se može tumačiti bez osvrtanja na
nacionalno materijalno i koliziono pravo. Roditeljsko staranje označava pravni
odnos između djeteta i odrasle osobe ili ustanove kojoj je dodijeljeno pravo na
roditeljsko staranje, što i sama Uredba Brissel IIa potvrđuje u čl. 61. kojim
precizira odnos Uredbe Brissel IIa prema Haškoj konvenciji o nadležnosti,
mjerodavnom pravu, priznanju, izvršenju i suradnji u području roditeljske
odgovornosti i mjerama za zaštitu djece iz 1996. godine. Drugi razlog vezan je
upravo za spomenuti čl. 61. Uredba Brissel IIa ne sadrži pravilo o mjerodavnom
pravu za određivanje roditeljskog staranja već dolazi do primjene čl. 15. - 22.
Haške konvencije iz 1996. godine koja kao tačku vezivanja uzima redovno
boravište djeteta. Prema, u ovom slučaju, mjerodavnom irskom pravu vanbračni
otac nije imao pravo na roditeljsko staranje. Međutim, bez obzira da li ga imao
ili ne, i time dolazimo do trećeg razloga, irski sud bio bi nadležan za utvrđivanje
da je odvođenje i zadržavanje djeteta u smislu čl. 3. Haške konvencije iz 1980.
godine bilo nezakonito. Spomenuti čl. 3. identičan je čl. 2. st. 11. Uredbe Brissel
IIa. Za određivanje nezakonitog odvođenja oba člana upućuju na pravo države
članice u kojoj je dijete imalo uobičajeno boravište prije njegovog odvođenja ili
zadržavanja. Kao četvrti razlog navodi se namjera europskog zakonodavca da
unificira međunarodno privatno i procesno međunarodno privatno pravo unutar
Europske unije. U konkretnom slučaju radi se o Uredbi Brissel IIa koja je
ujednačila pravila procesnog međunarodnog privatnog prava u oblasti bračnog
prava i prava roditeljskog staranja. S obzirom da Uredba svojim pravilima
upućuje na jedan institut materijalnog prava (ovdje roditeljsko staranje), koji nije
22

Ono što predstavlja problem jeste da se veliki broj djece rađa u vanbračnim zajednicama i da
otac, za razliku od majke ne dobiva automatski pravo na roditeljsko staranje, već mu je potrebna
suglasnost majke ili odluka nadležnog organa. Za očikaviti je promjene nacionalnih
zakonodavstava tako da i vanbračnom ocu zajedno sa majkom automatski pripadne pravo na
roditeljsko staranje ukoliko je upisan ili registriran kao jedan od roditelja. Određeni koraci već su
poduzeti u irskom pravo. Ibidem, str. 318.

�u svim instrumentima (ovdje Haškoj konvenciji iz 1996. godine) unificiran,
sporno je njegovo tumačenje bez osvrtanja na nacionalno ili ujednačeno
koliziono pravo.24 Ukoliko se to ipak čini dolazi do cijepanja instituta
materijalnog prava: za nadležnost se primjenjuje autonomno shvaćen institut, a
za mjerodavno pravo pravni pojam međunarodnog privatnog prava (čl. 15.
Haške konvencije iz 1996. godine). Sasvim je jasno da je ovako cijepanje
nepoželjno. Čini se da je slično mišljenje imao i Sud EU kada je ukazao na
razliku između „pravo na roditeljsko staranje“ koje prema čl. 2. st. 9. Uredbe
Brissel IIa autonomno tumači i pitanje kome, prema nacionalno pravu, pripada
to pravo.
2.4. Odluka u predmetu Barbara Mercedi/Richard Chaffe od 22. 12.
2010.
Sud EU je 22. 12. 2010. godine donio odluku u predmetu Barbara
Mercedi/Richard Chaffe postupajući po Zahtjevu za prethodno tumačenje pojma
redovnog boravišta djeteta, u smislu čl. 8. i čl. 10. Uredbe Brissel IIa. Činjenice
u ovom predmetu su sljedeće: gospođa Mercedi, francuska državljanka i
gospodin Chaffe, engleski državljanin, živjeli su u Engleskoj u vanbračnoj
zajednici. Neposredno nakon rođenja djeteta par se rastao. Dana 7. 10. 2009.
godine majka zajedno sa dvomjesečnom kćerkom napušta Englesku i odlazi na
otok La Réunion (Francuska). Otac, koji nije bio informiran o njihovom odlasku,
dobiva 10. 10. 2009. godine pismo u kojem ona navodi razloge odlaska. Dvije
činjenice u nesporne: da je dijete prije odlaska imalo redovno boravište u
Engleskoj i da je njegovo odvođenje u Francusku bilo zakonito jer je majka u
smislu čl. 2. st. 9. Uredbe Brissel IIa imala pravo na roditeljsko staranje. Otac 9.
10. 2009. godine telefonski pokreće postupak u Engleskoj, nakon što je, ušavši u
prazan stan, ustanovio da je majka sa djetetom otputovala, i na ročištu održanom
12. 9. 2009. godine podnosi zahtjev za roditeljsko staranje, zajedničko
prebivalište i pravo na ostvarivanje osobnih kontakata s kćeri. Sud istog dana,
bez da je gospođi Mercedes znala o zahtjevu gospodin Chaffe i bez da je bila
prisutna ili pravno zastupana, donosi odluku kojom nalaže gospođi Mercedes da
vrati kćerku u Englesku. Majka 28. 10. 2009. godine podnosi Sudu u SaintDenis (Francuska) zahtjev da joj se dodijeli isključivo roditeljsko staranje i da
se utvrdi da je prebivalište djeteta na njenoj adresi u Francuskoj, dok otac 18. 12.
2009. godine kod istog suda podnosi zahtjev radi povratka kćeri u Englesku
pozivajući se na Hašku konvenciju iz 1980. godine. Zahtjev oca je odlukom suda
15. 3. 2010. godine odbijen uz obrazloženje da u trenutku kada je dijete
napustilo Englesku on nije imao pravo na roditeljsko staranje u odnosu na nju, a
majčinom zahtjevu je odlukom suda 23. 6. 2010. godine udovoljeno. Paralelno
sa ovim postupcima tekao je i postupak pred engleskim sudom. Sporno je bilo
pitanje međunarodne nadležnosti engleskog pravosuđa da odlučuje o pravu na
roditeljsko staranje. Gospodin Chaffe i gospođa Mercedi su po ovom pitanju
24

Digler, J., u: Geimer, R., Schütze, R. A., (Hrsg.), Internationales Rechtsverkehr in Zivil- und
Handelsachen II, 2011, Rn. 545, Art. 2. EuEheVO, Rn. 13.

93

�imali različito stajalište. Prema mišljenju oca nadležan je bio engleski sud jer u
trenutku pokretanja postupka kćerka nije izgubila redovno boravište u
Engleskoj. Majka smatra da engleski sud nije bio nadležan za donošenje odluke
u vezi s djetetom jer od trenutka odlaska (majka kaže povratka) u Francusku
dijete ima redovno boravište u Francuskoj, a ne Engleskoj. Engleski sud je
odlučio da je postupak pokrenut u trenutku kada je otac telefonirao sudu te da je
djetetovo redovno boravište u tom trenutku kao i kada je sud donio odluku u
korist oca bilo u Engleskoj, pa je taj sud i nadležan za odlučivanje u meritumu.
Gospođa Mercedi je protiv ove odluke podnijela žalu Apelacionom sudu
Engleske i Welsa, koji se potom obratio Sudu EU tražeći da se odrede kriteriji za
određivanje redovnog boravišta djeteta u smislu čl. 8. i 10. Uredbe Brissel IIa.
U svojoj odluci Sud EU je zauzeo stajalište da se pod koncept „redovno
boravište“ za potrebe. 8. st. 1. i čl. 10. Uredbe Brissel IIa podrazumijeva mjesto
koje odražava određeni stupanj integracije djeteta u socijalnu i porodičnu
sredinu. Pri određivanju redovnog boravišta nacionalnu sudovi moraju,
rukovodeći se najboljim interesom djeteta, razmotriti sve činjenice konkretnog
slučaja. Kriteriji koji se moraju uzeti u obzir su okolnosti i razlozi boravka
djeteta kao i njegovo državljanstvo. Iz tih kriterija mora proizići da se ne radi
samo o prolaznom i trenutnom prisustvu u određenoj državi. Kao mjerodavne
indicije uzimaju su volja roditelja da žive u nekoj drugoj državi članici što se
manifestira uzimanjem ili iznajmljivanjem stana u toj državi. Također, potrebno
je voditi računa o dužini trajanja redovnog boravišta jer to ukazuje na određenu
stalnost boravka. Posebno se mora voditi računa o djetetovoj dobi. Socijalno i
porodično okruženje djeteta predškolske dobi ili dojenčeta u velikoj mjeri
određeno je porodicom, odnosno osobom s kojom dijete živi i koja se brine o
njemu. Dojenče nužno dijeli socijalno i porodično okruženje sa tom osobom.
Ako se o dojenčetu, kao što je to ovdje slučaj, isključivo brine majka, onda je
potrebno procijeniti stupanj njene integracije u novo okruženje. Pri tome treba
uzeti u obzir razloge majčinog preseljenja u tu državu, njeno poznavanje jezika
te geografsko i porodično porijeklo kao i porodične i socijalne veze koje majka i
dijete imaju s tom državom.
Sud EU smatrao je da je francuski sud trebao zaustaviti postupak shodno
čl. 19. st. 2. Uredbe Brissel IIa dok engleski sud koji je prvi započeo postupak ne
riješi pitanje svoje međunarodne nadležnosti. Engleski sud bi došao do zaključka
da majka i dijete, uzimajući u obzir sve okolnosti slučaja, imaju redovno
boravište u Francuskoj te nije nadležan za pitanje roditeljskog staranja. Time bi
bio uklonjen i posljednja smetnja priznanju odluke o roditeljskom staranju
francuskog suda prema čl. 23. tač. f. Uredbe Brissel IIa.
U predmetu Barbara Mercedi/Richard Chaffe. radilo se o pojmu
„redovno ili uobičajeno boravište“ u smislu Uredbe Brissel IIa. 25 Sud EU naveo
je, izričito ili prešutno, četiri principa koja se moraju uzeti u obzir pri
25

Iako redovno boravište predstvalja osnovni kriterij i za međunarodnu nadležnost i za
mjerodavno pravo u većini uredbi (Uredba Brissel Iia, Uredbe Rim I, II i III, Uredba o
izdržavanju, ono nije svjesno definirano. Zbog toga sudovi, europski ili nacionalni, moraju
pobliže odrediti šta se podrazumjeva pod redovnim boravištem.

94

�određivanju pojma redovno boravište: tumačenje mora biti autonomno, pojam je
činjenične, a ne pravne prirode, dojenče rođenjem dobiva redovno boravište,
dužina boravka nije opredjeljujuća, osim u iznimnim situacijama, za određivanje
redovnog boravišta. Boravište je redovno ili uobičajeno ukoliko osoba duže
vrijeme boravi u određenom mjestu. Pri tome boravak ne mora biti vremenski
ograničen ili permanentan. Uz to se trebaju uvažiti sljedeće činjenične okolnosti
konkretnog slučaja: razlozi boravka, starost osobe, stupanj integracije, ali i
dužina boravka.26 Nakon odluke Suda EU, engleski sud se proglasio
nenadležnim. Naime, dojenče je u vremenu relevantnom za procjenu nadležnosti
već imala redovno boravište u Francuskoj; majka se vratila u svoju domovinu,
prekinula sve veze sa Engleskom, a dojenče, s obzirom na uzrast, nužno dijeli
socijalno i porodično okruženje sa tom osobom koja se o njemu brine – u ovom
slučaju majkom. Sud EU još je dodao da se u ovom slučaju vjerojatno nije ni
radilo o slučaju međunarodne otmice djeteta jer vanbračni otac, prema
engleskom pravu, uopće nije ni imao roditeljsko staranje.
2.5. Odluka u predmetu Health Service Execuative/S.C., A.C. od 3. 5.
2012.
Sud EU je 3. 5. 2012. godine donio odluku u predmetu Health Service
Execuative/S.C., A.C. postupajući po Zahtjevu za prethodno tumačenje polja
primjene Uredbe Brissel IIa ratione materia i njenog čl. 56. irskog Vrhovnog
suda. Činjenice u ovome predmetu su sljedeće: S.C., irska državljanka,
maloljetna je i ima redovno boravište u Irskoj. Njena majka A.C. živi u
Londonu. Tokom 2000. godine dijete je na dobrovoljnoj bazi stavljeno pod
starateljstvo Health Service Executive, tijelo koje je u Irskoj zaduženo za brigu o
djeci stavljenoj pod starateljstvo države. Sud je Odlukom o smještaju od 20. 7.
2000. godine prenio staranje o S.C. na HSE do njenog punoljetnosti (čl. 18.
Child Care Act 1991.). Međutim, stanje S.C. je veoma teško, postoji velika
opasnost od počinjenja samoubojstva te doktori smatraju da se dijete treba hitno
smjestiti u odgovarajuću ustanovu zatvorenog tipa koji može provesti dodatna
klinička pretraga i ponuditi potrebnu terapiju. S obzirom da takve ustanove nema
u Irskoj, HSE poduzima sve što je potrebno kako bi dijete smjestilo u sanatorij u
Engleskoj. Podnosi zahtjev Vrhovnom sudu da u postupku prethodne pravne
zaštite odredi smještaj S.C. u izabrani dom zatvorenog tipa u Engleskoj i o tome
obavještava, 29. 9. 2011. godine, irsko Centralno tijelo shodno čl. 56. Uredbe
Brissel IIa. Također, traži suglasnost Centralnog tijela za Englesku i Wels u
skladu sa čl. 56. Uredbe Brissel IIa. U oktobru 2011. godine irskom Centralnom
tijelu je u ime Centralnog tijela za Englesku i Wels dostavljeno pismo, u čijem
zaglavlju su navedeni menadžment doma kao i gradsko vijeće grada u kojem se
dom nalazi (dakle lokalni organi), u kojem dom potvrđuje da je u stanju
osigurati smještaj djeteta shodno čl. 56. Uredbe Brissel IIa. Dana 2. 12. 2011.
godine Vrhovni sud odlučuje da dobrobit S.C. zahtijeva njen hitni smještaj u
dom zatvorenog tipa u Englesku i određuje privremeni smještaj. Također, navodi
26

Siehr, op. cit., str. 317.

95

�da shodno čl. 56. st. 2. Uredbe Brissel IIa postoji potrebna suglasnost nadležnog
tijela – Centralno tijelo za Englesku i Wels i da, s obzirom na potrebu hitnog
postupanja, ostaje otvoreno pitanje postupak priznanja i izvršenja odluke o
smještaju u Engleskoj i Welsu shodno odredbama Uredbe Brissel IIa. Na
temelju ove odluke S.C. je premještena iz HSE u Englesku.
Vrhovni sud Irsko izrazi je, međutim, zabrinutost u vezi sa nizom pitanja
te, kako bi mogao procijeniti da je zaštićen najbolji interes djeteta i da li je bio
opravdan smještaj u ustanovu zatvorenog tipa u Engleskoj, obraća se Sudu EU
sa više pitanja.
Prvo pitanje odnosilo se polje primjene ratione materia, odnosno da li
odluka jedne države članice o smještaju djeteta radi njegove vlastite zaštite u
ustanovu zatvorenog tipa koja se nalazi u drugoj državi članici spada u polje
primjene Uredbe Brissel IIa. Sud EU odgovorio je potvrdno na ovo pitanje s
obrazloženjem da to proizlazi iz preambule 5 i čl. 1. i 2. Uredbe Brissel IIa.
Odluka o smještaju djeteta u ustanovu zatvorenog tipa u drugu državu nije
izričito navedena u čl. 1. st. 2. tač. d. i čl. 56., ali to ne znači da ovo pitanje ne
spada u polje primijene Uredbe Brissel IIa. Upravo je Sud EU svojom odlukom
u predmetu C od 27. 11. 2007. godine27 iznio stav da nabrajanje u čl. 1. st. 2.
Uredbe Brissel IIa nije konačno, jer se koristi riječi „posebice“ što znači da su,
kao primjer, navedena samo neka pitanja.
Drugo pitanje odnosilo se na potrebu postojanja suglasnosti nadležnog
tijela države u koju će se smjestiti dijete (zamoljenu državu) i potrebu
savjetovanja sa središnjim tijelom ili drugim tijelom nadležnim u toj državi
shodno čl. 56. Uredbe Brissel IIa. Sud EU iznio je stav da, kako bi se zaštito
najbolji interes djeteta, suglasnost prema čl. 56. st. 2. koja je potreban preduvjet
da bi sud u državi moliteljici donio odluku o smještaju djeteta, mora poticati od
nadležnog tijela zamoljene države, te da nije dovoljno da ustanova u koje će
dijete biti smješteno da to odobrenje. Naime, ustanova koja profitira od smještaja
djeteta nije u stanju da donese neovisnu odluku. Nadalje, naglašeno je da bi, iz
razloga najboljeg interesa djeteta, bilo poželjno dozvoliti naknado osnaženje
odluke u situaciji kada sud koji je donio odluku o smještaju nije u potpunosti
siguran u nadležnost tijela koje je dalo suglasnost, a dijete je već smješteno u
ustanovu. Sud EU je utvrdio da ustanova u koju je dijete smješteno nije privatna
nego je pod upravljanjem nadležnih tijela javne vlasti, tako se shodno čl. 56.
Uredbe Brissel IIa radi o pravovaljanoj suglasnosti.
S trećim i četvrtim pitanjem irski Vrhovni sud želi je znati da li odluka o
prisilnom smještaju u ustanovu u drugoj državi članici, koju je donio sud jedne
države članice treba prije izvršenja u toj drugoj (zamoljenoj) državi biti u njoj
priznata i proglašena izvršnom i da li u njoj može proizvoditi pravo dejstvo i
prije nego što je postala izvršna. Sud EU zauzeo je stav da ove vrste odluka
moraju biti proglašene izvršnim u zamoljenoj državi prije njihovog izvršenja u
toj državi. To proizlazi iz činjenice da su odluke kojima se određuje prisilni
smještaj djeteta u ustanovu zatvorenog tima usko povezane sa čl. 6. Povelje EU

�o temeljnim pravima koji priznaje svakom čovjeku pa prema tome i
maloljetniku pravo na slobodu. Pored toga, stajalište roditelja, koji su podržali
smještaj, može se u međuvremenu promijeniti. Kako Uredba Brissel IIa ne bi
izgubila na svojoj praktičnosti, odluka suda zamoljene države o zahtjevu za
izdavanje odluke o izvršenju mora se donijeti bez odlaganja, a što je i u
najboljem interesu djeteta, i protive ove odluke uloženi pravni lijekovi ne mogu
imati suspenzivni učinak.
Posljednje pitanje ticalo se mogućeg produženja smještaja, odnosno da li
je u slučaju produženja smještaja djeteta potrebno svaki put tražiti suglasnost
nadležnog tijela shodno čl. 56. st. 2. Uredbe Brissel IIa kao i podnositi zahtjeva
za izdavanje odluke o izvršenju shodno čl. 28. Uredbe Brissel IIa. Sud EU
zauzeo je stav da svaka nova odluka o produženju smještaja djeteta zahtjeva
novu suglasnost nadležnih tijela zamoljene države. Odluka o smještaju djeteta
donesena u jednoj državi članici i proglašena izvršnom u drugoj državi članici
vrijedi samo za period naveden u odluci, tako da svaka nova odluka o
(produženju) smještaja zahtjeva i novi postupak proglašenja izvršnom.
Najbolji interes djeteta kao osnovni kriterij o kojem se mora voditi
računa u svim postupcima vezanim za djecu bio je razlog obraćanja Vrhovnog
suda Irske u okviru postupka prethodnog odlučivanja u predmetu Health Service
Execuative/S.C., A.C.
3. Umjesto zaključka
Prva četiri prezentirana slučaja zorno prikazuju teško savladiv problem
koji se javlja u mnogim tzv. slučajevima međunarodne otmice djece: Dilemu
između obaveze provođenja odluke suda i neophodnosti uvažavanja kriterija
najboljeg interesa djeteta u svim postupcima koji se odnose na djecu. Ova
dilema javlja se posebno u situacijama kada se donesene odluke ne sprovedu
odmah već protokom vremena nastupe promijenjene okolnosti koje izazivaju
sumnju u to da li provedba odluke još uvijek odgovara najboljem interesu djeteta
ili ga ugrožava. U ovim situacijama upitno je da li je priznanje odluke jedne
države članice, temeljeno na načelo uzajamnog priznanja stranih sudskih odluka
u državama članicama, još uvijek u skladu sa najboljim interesom djeteta.
Također, ne smijemo zaboraviti da se Uredba Brissel IIa primjenjuje usporedo sa
Haškom konvencijom o građanskopravnim aspektima međunarodne otmice
djece iz 1980. godine. Uredba Brissel IIa regulira međunarodnu nadležnost i
priznanje i izvršenje odluka u predmetima roditeljske odgovornosti, a u čl. 11.
sadrži posebno pravilo koje predviđa primjenu Haške konvencije iz 1980. godine
i usmjereno je na što je moguće brže razjašnjenje ne samo faktičke (povratak
djeteta), već i pravne situacije (reguliranje roditeljske odgovornosti).
Promatramo li ove odluke Suda EU koje se odnose na dio Uredbe
Brissel IIa koja regulira pitanje roditeljske odgovornosti, možemo izvući prva
opća učenja vezana za buduća tumačenja odredaba Uredbe. Kao prvo sud je
naglasio zahtjev za autonomnim tumačenjem Uredbe Brissel IIa i pri tome
ponovo potvrdio da se tumačenje Uredbe ali i nacionalnog prava koje je u
97

�pitanju, vrši u skladu sa komunitarnim pravom i njegovim načelima. 28 Pri tome,
potrebno je napomenuti da autonomno tumačenje ne znači i unificirano
tumačenje svih akata Europske unije, već tumačenje u skladu sa ciljem i svrhom
akta na koji se odnosi.29 Nadalje, navodi se načelo uzajamnog povjerenje30 koje
se ističe i u ostalim aktima Europske unije. Kada se radi o situaciji nastaloj
nezakonitim odvođenjem i zadržavanjem djeteta u inostranstvo, stav je Suda EU
da se ona ne bi smjela perpetuirati31, bilo da se radi o privremenim mjerama
uključujući i mjere osiguranja (čl. 20.) bilo o povratku djeteta (čl. 11. st. 8.).
Osobito važnim smatra se stav Suda EU da se Uredba Brissel IIa tumači u
svjetlu prava navedenih u Povelji EU o temeljnim pravima, posebno prava
djeteta,32 a što je i europski zakonodavac naglasio u preambuli 33: Uredba treba
biti sukladna Povelji EU o temeljnim pravima.
Bit će interesantno pratiti kako će Sud EU ove opće smjernice
europskog međunarodnog procesnog prava u oblasti roditeljske odgovornosti
dalje razjasniti i precizirati, odnosno izgraditi nove.

BRUSELS II A REGULATION IN THE LIGHT OF COURT OF
EUROPEAN UNION PRACTICE
Summary: This paper presents and analyzes the Court of the EU
decisions regarding the interpretation of Regulation Brussels IIa in which the EU
Court was governed by the best interest of the child. EU Court is bound by the
principle of the best interest of the child as the supreme criterion in all
proceedings relating to children, as stated in primary and secondary law
regulation - Art. 24 of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights and the preamble
33 to the Regulation Brussels IIa. The stand of the EU Court that the Brussels IIa
Regulation should be interpreted in light of the rights listed in the Charter of
Fundamental Rights of the EU, in particular the rights of the child, is considered
particularly important. As this is a very dynamic field, it is essential for the
development of Bosnian international private law to have a continuous overview
of both legislative and judicial activity within the European Union, which have
already created some general directions for the development of European
international family law.
Key words: Brusels IIa Regulation, Court of European union, EU
Charter of Fundamental Rights, best interest of the child.

Usability of the Concept of Local Democracy in Achieving
Democratic Process at Local Level

Democracy is advocated by the majority of societies and countries today.
The dictators of the past were an important factor in adoption of
democracy. Such administration types in which certain individuals, groups
or classes make the decisions and seize the power in their hands shifted to
dictatorship. Democracy has been adopted instead of these administration
types. In democratic administration, certain rules and principles are
actualised some of which are achieving public participation into
administration activities, assuring fundamental rights and freedoms for
everyone, adoption of principles of the state of law by the state, not
destroying the rights of the minority for the sake of the majority and vice
versa. Achieving the public participation that is required in democracy is
discussed at local level.
There is a close relation between local administrations and democracy.
However, there are controversies in defining this close relation
conceptually which centre around such concepts as democratisation of
local administrations, democratic local administration and local
democracy. In the literature, whether these concepts can be used
interchangeably has been discussed and it has been decided that one can
be used for another. However, preference of one gives the understanding
of democracy a different dimension at local level. Therefore, a conceptual
preference is a factor in achieving democracy at a local level.
Local democracy can be understood as validation of democratic values in
local administrations. In this sense, concepts of local democracy,
democratic local administration and democratisation of local
administrators are considered to be very close, but at the same time, they
also appear to have different meanings. In order to determine which of
these concepts will be used, these concepts should be defined clearly first.
After that, the main elements of these concepts should be put forward
analytically. Afterwards, the differences between these concepts should be
revealed. Subsequently, different approaches to the problem of applying
local democracy at local level should be put across. Also, what kind of a

local administration does applying each concept at local level stipulate?
What role do these concepts play in achieving democratic participation at

problem of conceptual expression but also give an idea about which
concept is more appropriate to use.

Abstract
Democracy is advocated by the majority of societies and countries today. The
dictators of the past were an important factor in adoption of democracy. Such
administration types in which certain individuals, groups or classes make the
decisions and seize the power in their hands shifted to dictatorship. Democracy has
been adopted instead of these administration types. In democratic administration,
certain rules and principles are actualised some of which are achieving public
participation into administration activities, assuring fundamental rights and
freedoms for everyone, adoption of principles of the state of law by the state, not
destroying the rights of the minority for the sake of the majority and vice versa.
Achieving the public participation that is required in democracy is discussed at
local level.
There is a close relation between local administrations and democracy. However,
there are controversies in defining this close relation conceptually which centre
around such concepts as democratisation of local administrations, democratic local
administration and local democracy. In the literature, whether these concepts can be
used interchangeably has been discussed and it has been decided that one can be
used for another. However, preference of one gives the understanding of democracy
a different dimension at local level. Therefore, a conceptual preference is a factor in
achieving democracy at a local level.
Local democracy can be understood as validation of democratic values in local
administrations. In this sense, concepts of local democracy, democratic local
administration and democratisation of local administrators are considered to be very
close, but at the same time, they also appear to have different meanings. In order to
determine which of these concepts will be used, these concepts should be defined
clearly first. After that, the main elements of these concepts should be put forward
analytically. Afterwards, the differences between these concepts should be revealed.
Subsequently, different approaches to the problem of applying local democracy at
local level should be put across. Also, what kind of a local administration does
applying each concept at local level stipulate? What role do these concepts play in
achieving democratic participation at local level? Answers to such questions will
not only enable sorting out the problem of conceptual expression but also give an

Introduction
Oppressive and centralist administration models have lost their functions today, having
been replaced by an administration model based on strong local administration and

democracy. A perception consensus has occurred about strengthening local administration
and democracy on national and global level. Therefore, the relation between democracy
and local administration, its foundation stone, has gained importance each day(Yıldırım,
1993).
Principle of separation of powers is sought in limiting the government, in which judicial
body limits executive body. A state of law is achieved through preventing the intervention
of the state to basic rights and freedoms and separating judicial body, which is in charge of
saying what law is, from executive body. However, adoption of principle of separation of
powers hasn’t been found to be adequate in limiting executive power completely and
forming a democratic life. In order for democracy to take root and to diffuse in the society,
administration, rather than being concentrated in one person, is considered to have to
involve multiple people in administrative activities, in which people can influence the
administrative decisions and join in decision making processes. Local administrations,
therefore, have appeared as the most crucial democracy tool in achieving people’s
participation in administration and spreading democracy amongst people.
The role local administrations have taken on in achieving democracy and spreading it
amongst people has increased their importance in terms of democracy. The indispensable
role local administrations have taken on in achieving the functionality of democracy has
caused local administrations to be called local democracy. Particularly those local
administrations in countries with strong local administrations and local autonomy where
democratic culture has taken root have been named local democracy thanks to their strong
democratic structure and culture(Görmez, 1997).
The Relation between Local Administration and Democracy
Today, in almost all the countries, local administrations are regarded among the prominent
democratic institutions. This is because local administrations enable the public to rule
themselves and to participate in administration. The people determine the head of local
administration organs through elections. However, this is not enough for these institutions
to be called democratic local administrations because, in order to democratise local
administrations, the people have to be made sure to participate in administration (Keleş,
1992).
There are three different opinions that explain the relation between local administrations
and democracy(Hill, 1974). One of them, Toulmain Smith, Moulin, e.g., argues that local
administration, conflicting with democracy, is a sacred institution that has its power only
from traditions. The second is Langrod’s opinion. Langrod states that there isn’t a cause
and effect relation between democracy and local administration and that when and where
one does not exist, the other can(Langrod, 1953). The third opinion advocates the fact that
there is an imperative relation between democracy and local administration. For instance,
according to John Stuart Mill, tax liabilities should by all means have a say in
administration; they should always be consulted in administration and these people should
be informed about the proceedings(Keleş, 1992). Like Mill, Tocqueville also regards local
administrations as the main units of democracy and political education tools. Tocqueville
states that local administration institutions form the actual power of free nations and that
local councils have a crucial contribution to freedom(Yıldırım, 1993).

Usability of the Concept of Local Democracy
For decades, democracy crisis, mostly known as liberal democracy crisis or representative
democracy crisis, has caused a new democracy pursuit during which local democracy
concept has been put forward as a model suggestion(Üskül, 1993).
There are other scientific opinions that look into local administration concept from a
different perspective one of which mentions about a pursuit of a new democracy definition.
It is believed that today’s classic liberal democracy perception is insufficient in solving
social problems and the suggestion of electronic democracy as a solution to sort out this
insufficiency cannot solve these problems. In this context, it is stated that democracy is
being redefined and the main action point of this redefinition effort has to be reversal of
political and administrative decision making mechanisms on top-base plane. Accordingly,
the core of a new democracy perception is thought to be the fact that sovereignty should
not be based on nation but on the people and that the one higher authority should take
action when the people do not decide at local level(Üskül, 1993).
In another study on the concept of local administration, a different emphasis stands out.
Accordingly, local democracy exists before the state appears as a sovereign order which is
a self-governance form per se and takes its shape through the needs of the society and
contributions. Local power is meant by local democracy; however, in the concept of
democratic local administration, democracy of local administration system is emphasized.
In the concept of local democracy, democratic culture- defined as local democratic valuesare emphasized whereas, in democratic local administration concept, democracy of
administration processes and administration function is emphasized(Pustu, 2005).
In the literature, the use of local democracy concept is controversial because in the
literature, there are opinions that the concept of local democracy is wrong and that the
concept of democratic local administration can be used instead(Görmez, 1997). Hill states
that it sounds artificial when democracy is separated as national and local(Hill, 1974) and
uses the concept of democratic local administration instead of local democracy. Using the
concept of democratic local administration instead of local democracy arises from the idea
that local administrations cannot be named as local democracy. However, in local
autonomy, local people are supposed to govern themselves within the borders laid by a
central authority, in which case local power isn’t meant by the concept of local democracy.
Local democracy means that democratic values are valid in local administrations(Görmez,
1997).
The idea that local administrations can be used as a suitable tool to develop the quality of
representative democracy(Ertan, 2004) also refers to the relation between local
administration and representative democracy. The importance of the function of local
administrations in the development of democracy is addressed here. While evaluating the
quality of the relation between local administration and democracy, we see that the
difference between local administration and democracy isn’t put forward and that a
conceptual definition as local democracy isn’t made.
Local democracy is nothing more than validating democratic values in local
administrations(Görmez, 1997). When defined as such, the concepts of local democracy,
democratic local administration and democratisation of local administrations appear to
have very close meanings to one another but in fact have different meanings.
Democratisation of local administrations denotes the process of making democratic

principles dominant in local administrations. This process will end by applying all the
democratic principles in local administrations. By ending the process of democratisation of
local administrations, that is applying all the democratic principles in local administrations,
democratic local government will be achieved. Local democracy, on the other hand, will
appear when democratic principles are applied at local level. The institutions that will
make sure that democratic principles are applied at local level are local administrations.
If a distinction between democracy and local democracy is to be made, it can be said that
local democracy will appear by applying the principles of democracy, which are adopted
and applied at national level, at local level. In this perspective, democracy and local
democracy match up with each other and belong to the same root, but settling of
democratic institutions and rules at local level and at national level will show different
characteristics. Therefore, it can be argued that these two concepts rely on the same
principles but these principles appear in different appearances in local and national areas.
Another idea in defining local democracy emphasizes that local democracy occurs when
democracy principles are applied local level(Çelik et al., 2008). In this definition, it is
stated that there is no differentiation between local democracy and democracy and local
democracy doesn’t have a different conceptual dimension from democracy.
The concept of local democracy is used as much for the local administrations of certain
federal states as those of the unitary states. In this context, it is seen that the concept of
local democracy is used for the local administrations in such federal states as the USA,
Germany and Sweden and for those in such states with strong local administration tradition
as England and Holland(Görmez, 1997). This shows that the concept of local democracy
doesn’t have any relation with federal-unitary state structure.
The basic principles of local democracy can be exemplified as formation of decision
bodies through elections, decision making processes and public participation, sharing of
responsibility and income between central and local administrations and the relation
between local and central administrations(Görmez, 1997).
Conclusion
Although there are cases determined as the crisis of representative democracy, no local
democracy model involving a political and administrative structure that can solve this
crisis of representative democracy has been put forward. In this context, it is seen that the
concept of local democracy neither has a meaning itself and different from democracy nor
provides a new democracy model.
There is a close relation between local administrations and democracy that has led to such
debates as democratisation of local administrations, democratic local administration and
local democracy. In the literature, whether these concepts can be used interchangeably has
been discussed and become a matter of preference. In my opinion, democratisation of local
administrations takes us to a process in this context, while democratic local administration
takes us to the result in this process and achieving democracy principles at local level and
in local administration perspective, on the other hand, takes us to local democracy. In this
perspective, these three concepts can be regarded as various expressions of achieving
democracy at local level.

                <text>Democracy is advocated by the majority of societies and countries today.  The dictators of the past were an important factor in adoption of  democracy. Such administration types in which certain individuals, groups  or classes make the decisions and seize the power in their hands shifted to  dictatorship. Democracy has been adopted instead of these administration  types. In democratic administration, certain rules and principles are  actualised some of which are achieving public participation into  administration activities, assuring fundamental rights and freedoms for  everyone, adoption of principles of the state of law by the state, not  destroying the rights of the minority for the sake of the majority and vice  versa. Achieving the public participation that is required in democracy is  discussed at local level.  There is a close relation between local administrations and democracy.  However, there are controversies in defining this close relation  conceptually which centre around such concepts as democratisation of  local administrations, democratic local administration and local  democracy. In the literature, whether these concepts can be used  interchangeably has been discussed and it has been decided that one can  be used for another. However, preference of one gives the understanding  of democracy a different dimension at local level. Therefore, a conceptual  preference is a factor in achieving democracy at a local level.  Local democracy can be understood as validation of democratic values in  local administrations. In this sense, concepts of local democracy,  democratic local administration and democratisation of local  administrators are considered to be very close, but at the same time, they  also appear to have different meanings. In order to determine which of  these concepts will be used, these concepts should be defined clearly first.  After that, the main elements of these concepts should be put forward  analytically. Afterwards, the differences between these concepts should be  revealed. Subsequently, different approaches to the problem of applying  local democracy at local level should be put across. Also, what kind of a local administration does applying each concept at local level stipulate?  What role do these concepts play in achieving democratic participation at  local level? Answers to such questions will not only enable sorting out the  problem of conceptual expression but also give an idea about which  concept is more appropriate to use.

Abstract: Financial institutions in Bosnia and Herzegovina are increasingly finding themselves
facing rapid increases in turbulence and complexity, leading to increased competition. As the
wind of change started blowing, most banks (if not all) adopted the use of electronic banking (ebanking) for transaction, which is becoming the rule rather than exception. One of the reasons
for this dynamic change in banking environment is the reliability and accuracy of this
information if accurate data are inputted. Another reason is inherent benefit of e-banking to save
time and magnificent efficiency in the speed in the transaction of banking activities and
consequently
enhancing
the
performance
of
banks.
This paper is designed to find out the usage and problems of electronic banking on banks. The
structure of the study is mainly exploratory and partly casual since it is also testing some
hypothesis. Data collection method employed in this study is secondary, which comprises of
electronic banking guidelines, financial summary of the bank over the years, journals and
magazines of e-banking, computer data base accessed through the internet. The analysis tool
used to test the hypotheses is simple linear regression and the student’s t-test. Theoretical
contributions and practical implications of the findings are discussed and suggestions for future
research are presented.
Keywords: E-banking, Secondary Data, Linear Regression, Student’s T-Test.

as the dose increases, recovery time increases.

environmental goals and resources in order to secure comfort and welfare of present and
future generations. The significance level of these related goals and sources is very high.
Threats and hazards such as limited resources around the globe, overly population increase,
global warming, damaging of ozone layer, decreasing of live species and environmental
pollution dramatically reveal the importance of sustainable development.
United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and Kyoto Protocol
which was signed in 1997 came into force in 2005. In this context, aviation industry is a good
sample for sustainability. Fuels used in consist of non-renewable resources so contribute to
climate change negatively. But, at the same time, that industry makes very valuable and
unique contributions to the sustainable development aimed by global society. These
contributions are realized social, economical and environmental dimensions.
Aviation industry is the safest and most efficient type in public transportation. Over long
distances and beyond geographical barriers, no alternative one exist so. It offers affordable
transportation services to the nations, regions and individuals with wide transportation
network. Furthermore, by promoting cultural and social ties, it facilitates exchange of
educational experiences.
Economically, aviation industry encourages economic development by facilitating access of
regional and global markets, involving with these markets and increasing market share. At the
same time, aviation industry leading to the development of trade, travel and tourism sector
provides improving of income distribution by creating employment around the globe.
This industry pioneers to the electronic transportation. Highly savings got at ticketing and
other documentation transactions by adopting to the electronic system. Decrease in the level
of aircraft noise-footprint at a 20 db in recent years, an increase in fuel efficiency of 70
percent in last 40 years – today’s newest aircraft technology often matchs the energy
consumption of modern cars and in some cases (depending on speed and distance)-, coming
down Carbon emission ratios dramatically, alternative fuel systems as biofuels and less
service required space area compared to other transportation types can be taken as outstanding
environmental effects of this industry.
Turkish Airlines (THY) showed an outstanding performance both economically and socially
for the last years. Now, being a member of Star Alliance Group, it has a wide flight network
around the globe with generated fleet. Furthermore, the company works to make contributions
to the sustainable future.

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

Today, world deals with not only the countries’ GDP values or other economic data’s but
environmental issues and social benefits also. Climatic changes threat the future at a
significant degree higher than ever. Nowadays, world consumes its resources rashly, but
could future generations reach these resources easily is a problem the world faced. Similar
issues appear to be problem the world faces in this century.
Aviation industry plays essential role both in economic, social and environmental respect. As
air transportation developed, trade volume will increase, good transportation volume will
continue to be positive, cultures will socialize as a result of increased tourism traffic and time
will be used more efficiently. By performing all of them, using resources less and effectively,
being environmentally sensitive creates the critic points of this industry. To survive in this
industry depends on “Sustainability” and companies should change and design strategies
towards to the “green coloured” strategies. At this stage, instutions as IACO, IATA, UN, EU
help companies by creating and regulating rules, standards and systems as KYOTO or
European Union Emission Trading Scheme ETS.
In this sense, this paper examines the importance of sustainable development for aviation
industry. However, we examine Turkish Airlines as a case study in the context of how it has
become an international effective player in recent years, strategic alliances that have made
and contributions to the sustainability efforts.
2. Environmental Issues Associated with Aviation
Civil aviation, like most other economic activities, gives rise to environmental problems of
various kinds. In 1999, the ICAO (Interational Civil Aviation Organization) Secretariat
compiled an inventory of environmental problems what may be associated with civil aviation,
to assist the ICAO Council in identifying future priorities in the environmental. It was
assumed that "the environment" means all those natural and man-made surroundings which
may be adversely affected by the presence of civil aviation, but which are not directly
involved in the aviation itself10. Issues include:
2.1. Aircraft noise
Historically, noise has been the external impact of aviation with the highest profile. There
have been substantial reductions in the noise generated by new aircraft and in the overall
noise at many airports. However, at most airports, the frequency and total number of
movements is expected to increase in the future. For some people near airports, aircraft noise
is a significant nuisance affecting their quality of life. There is considerable variation in
individual reactions. Aircraft noise can also have impacts on sleep.11
Significant progress has been achieved in reducing the noise impact around many airports,
arising from reductions in both engine and airframe noise as well as improvements in

operational procedures. Today's aircraft are typically 75% quieter than jets in the 1960.12
Research initiatives target a further 50% reduction by 2020. The number of people exposed to
aircraft noise worldwide has gone down – by about 35% between 1998 and 2004. IATA (The
Air Transportation Association) has developed a policy on night flights. According to this
policy, Night time operational restrictions are increasing, especially in Europe. At some
airports, night flights are completely banned. These restrictions can have a serious impact on
the economy, next-day delivery services, home-based charters, freight services and
intercontinental flights. They can also increase daytime congestion.13 According to Air
Transport Action Group (ATAG) data, The South African horn made infamous at 2010 World
Cup, the vuvuzela, at blast is rated at 127 decibels. An A380 on the other hand takes off with
a relative whisper at 82 db.14 This shows us the latest improvements in aircraft engine
technologies.
2.2. Carbon Emissions &amp; Fresh Air
Air pollution arising from airline and airport operations has a variety of sources, including
aircraft engines, apron vehicles, ground transportation, refueling and power generation
equipment. These can pose a problem at a local scale, where increasingly stringent
environmental quality standards are being imposed, and at a global level, where increasing
concern is being expressed about the significance of the contribution of aircraft engine
emissions to the problem of global warming.15 With regard to climate change, IPCC
Report16 estimates that aircraft contribute about 3.5 per cent of the total radiative forcing by
all human activities and that this proportion is likely to increase. The emissions from aircraft
of relevance for climate change include carbon dioxide (CO2), water vapour nitrogen oxides
(NOx), sulphur oxides and soot.
In the context of environment, technological advancements, operational measures, and air
traffic management can all improve emissions and fuel efficiency. Acc. to IATA data, new
aircrafts are 70% more fuel efficient than 40 years ago and 20% better than 10 years ago.
Airlines are aiming for a further 25% fuel efficiency improvement by 2020. By 2050, net
aviation carbon emission is aimed to be half of what it was in 2005. Modern aircraft achieve
fuel efficiencies of 3.5 liters per 100 passenger km. The A380 and B787 are aiming for 3 liters
per 100 passenger km – better than a compact car! Aircraft engine emissions are directly
related to fuel burn. Each kilogram of fuel saved reduces carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by
3.16 kg. So the key for airlines to minimize their environmental impact is to use fuel more
efficiently. IATA airlines improved their fuel efficiency by 3.1% in 2006 and 2007. IATA

airlines have adopted a voluntary fuel efficiency goal. This is to reduce fuel consumption
and CO2 emissions (per revenue tonne kilometer) by at least 25% by 2020, compared to 2005
levels.17
ICAO projections states that the commercial aircraft fleet is expected to increase to about
47,500 by 2036, of which more than 44,000 (94 %) aircraft will be new generation
technology.18 Acc. to ATAG, today, global aviation industry produces around 2 % of all
human-induced carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Aviation is responsible for 12 % of CO2
emissions from all transport sources, compared to 74 % from road transport. And around 80
% of aviation CO2 emissions are emitted from flights over 1,500 kilometers, for which there
is no practical alternative mode of transport19. The Figure below indicates passenger air
traffic fuel consumption per 100 km. It shows that fuel consumption will decrease in
subsequent years due to increasing technology and new generated engines and aircrafts.

2.3. Alternative Fuels
Because of both economic and environmental issues, aviation industry should seek ways for
diversification of current fuels and should produce alternative fuels. The International Air
Transportation Association (IATA) is dedicated to support its members and the industry to
reduce the emission of CO2. Alternative fuels, particularly sustainable biofuels, have been
identified as one of the key elements in helping achieve this goal. Biofuels derived from
sustainable oil crops such as jatropha, camelina and algae or from wood and waste biomass
can reduce the overall carbon footprint by around 80% over their full lifecycle. Biofuels test
flights carried out by seven airlines have proven biofuels work and can be mixed with existing
jet fuel. The industry is now working on finalizing technical certification so biofuels can be

used for passenger flights.21 If the industry were to get 6 % of its fuel supply from alternative
fuels by 2020, this would reduce current carbon footprint by 5 %.22 Objectives are as follows:
building a long-term sustainable, environmentally friendly and cost competitive aviation
industry.
3. Social and Economic Factors
Aviation industry is the safest and most efficient type in public transportation. Over long
distances and beyond geographical barriers, no alternative one exist so. It offers affordable
transportation services to the nations, regions and individuals with wide transportation
network. Furthermore, by promoting cultural and social ties, it facilitates exchange of
educational experiences. However, developments at aircraft Technologies and at fuels affect
the social life directly. People lives near airports expose high noise than to other people, so
night sleep can be a torture for them. But recent developments decreased the noise problem at
a significant level about 35 % between 1998 to 2004.23 And also, low carbon emission will
affect social life in a positive manner too.
There is a general acceptance that there is a positive, mutually supportive relationship
between aviation and economy.24 Aviation supports some 56.6 million jobs around the world
or it carries 35% of the world’s cargo by value.
According to ATAG report 201025; Airlines transport over 2.6 billion passengers annually
with revenue passenger kilometers (RPK) totaling nearly 5 trillion in 2010. The USA
followed by China and then the UK were the top three countries in terms of RPK. Aviation is
indispensable for tourism, which is a major engine of economic growth, particularly in
developing economies. Globally, 51% of international tourists travel by air. Connectivity
contributes to improved productivity by encouraging investment and innovation; improving
business operations and efficiency; and allowing companies to attract high quality employees.
Aviation’s global economic impact (direct, indirect, induced and tourism catalytic) is
estimated at $2.2 trillion, equivalent to 3.5% of world gross domestic product (GDP).
It provides 8.4 million direct jobs: airlines, air navigation service providers and airports
directly employ 7.6 million people and the civil aerospace industry (manufacture of aircraft
systems, frames and engines) employs 0.8 million people. There are 9.3 million indirect jobs
generated through purchases of goods and services from companies in its supply chain.
Industry employees support 4.4 million induced jobs through spending. Aviation-enabled
tourism generates around 34.5 million jobs globally.
The world’s airlines carry over 2.6 billion passengers a year and 48 million tonnes of freight
in 2010. Providing these services generates 8.4 million direct jobs within the air transport

industry and contributes $539 billion to global GDP. Compared with the GDP contribution of
other sectors, the global air transport industry is larger than the pharmaceuticals ($445
billion), the textiles ($236 billion) or the automotive industries ($484 billion) and around half
as big as the global chemicals ($977 billion) and food and beverage ($1,162 billion) sectors.
In fact, if air transport were a country, its GDP would rank it 19th in the world, roughly equal
to that of Switzerland or Poland.
In 2030, forecasts suggest that there will be nearly 6 billion passengers and aviation will
support nearly 82 million jobs and $6.9 trillion in economic activity.
4. Turkish Airlines
Turkish Airlines Incorporation that was established in 1933 and named shortly THY was
called The State Airlines Administration when first established. It has taken action as
incorporation that it is called today. At first it started to fly by using 5 aircrafts. The first
international voyage Atina was flown in 1947. Turkish Airlines offered about 50% of shares
to the public in 2006 and they were traded at Istanbul Stock Exchange. In addition, it had 50%
of partnership in Sun Express centered in Antalya by making an agreement with German
airline Lufthansa in 1989 and invested in Sarajevo airline Bosnia and Herzegovina Airlines by
purchasing 49% of shares. Company established AnadoluJet centered in Ankara to serve all
people in Turkey in 2008. It joined oldest airlines alliance of world, Star Alliance, by making
an agreement in Istanbul in 2008. On the other hand, Turkish Airlines was named Turkish
Airlines Cargo has taken action its cargo service in 1936 and changed its name to TURKISH
CARGO in 2000. Turkish Airlines that owned 6 cargo aircrafts had totally 179 aircrafts.
Company grows by purchasing new aircrafts continuously and also develops its cargo
services. At the end of 2011 it reached of totally 189 cities including 40 cities for domestic
and 149 cities for international. Simultaneously it has 2 technical maintenance centers in
Istanbul. Turkish Airlines Technical Incorporation that is one of these centers was established
in Atatürk Airport in 2006 and has become an important technical maintenance point in air
transportation. Other center, Aviation Maintenance Repair and Modification Center
Incorporation (HABOM), was founded in Sabiha Gökçen Airport in 201126.
After World War II with global economy, aviation industry also developed rapidly. With
increasing population and income level, there were changes in travel expenditures and
behaviours. As a results of these developments, new infrastructure, routes, airfares and offers
was served up in aviation industry. The importance of social, economical and environmental
purposes and preservation, improvement and balancement of resources were understood. For
these purposes, Turkish Airlines shows improvements in terms of sustainable development
that global community aims.
When mentioned about sustainable development, firstly, development without effecting
environment adversely might be mentioned. World is under threat of greenhouse gases such
as carbon dioxide, methane and ozone. In this sense, Turkish Airlines tries to decrease the
amount of carbon dioxide caused by aircrafts and other activities. Because of Fuel-Saving
Project implemented in 2008, Turkish Airlines saved jet fuels about 78.371.439 $ and
decreased carbon dioxide emission about 201.700 tons.

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

Aviation industry was joined to the Carbon Emission Trading System that was valid from 1
January 2012. In this context, Turkish Airlines has to comply with regulations of European
Emission Trading Scheme (EU-ETS) as other airlines operating flights to Europe27.
Temel Kotil, General Manager of Turkish Airlines, said that they were working with
International Air Transport Association about fuel-saving. So, less fuel usage at flights, 30
million $ fuel-saving per year and significantly decreasing amount of carbon dioxide emission
was aimed28.
Activities about decreasing of damages to the environment and human health that derives
from airport facilities were initiated by Directorate General of Civil Aviation. In 2010, for
luggage transportation, vehicles with electricity started to be used instead of vehicles with fuel
at airports with heavy traffic. If airport facilities met certain conditions in the context of this
project, airports are taken to the category of “Green Airport” and facilities that met conditions
provide discounts in the service recipe29.
Aviation industry in Turkey has grown substantially for last decade. There were liberalization
steps in the industry that was closed to the open competition and under the monopoly of
Turkish Airlines until 200230. Between 2002-2010, average annual growth was 16% for air
traffic and 25,5% for passenger traffic31.
In 2009, while the aviation industry in the world downsized, Turkish Airlines continued to
develop and increased by 11%. Turkish Airlines carried 10,4 million passengers in 2003,
raised the number of passengers to 22,5 million in 2008, 25,1 million in 2009, 29,1 million in
2010 and 32,6 million in 201132. In 2011, among the member airlines of Association of
European Airlines, it ranged fourth with 8,7% market share in terms of number of passengers
and fifth with 7,3% market share in terms of seat kilometers offered. While total number of
passengers of member airlines increased by 4,2%, Turkish Airlines raised by 15,6%. In
addition, Turkish Airlines is market leader in air cargo transportation in Turkey. It increased
its market share by 64% in 201133.
Turkish Airlines implements efficiency-oriented employment program. Its total number of
personnel was 10.239 people in 2003 and raised by 15.491 people in 2011. To become the
best airline in the world, the best cabin crew is required as a return of differentiation in the
service concept. From this point, Turkish Airlines applied “Service Quality and Increasing
Passenger Satisfaction Programme” since August, 201034.

Company also gives promotion tickets, companion tickets and opportunity to upgrade to the
members with Miles&amp;Smiles Programme. At the same time, call center which is one of the
most important marketing and sales channel were included in the service as of 200935.
Turkish Airlines achieved significant successes in context of brand invesments. Sponsorship
of Euroleague, FC Barcelona and Manchester United has provided a great advantage in the
European market. There were other sports sponsorships. On the other hand, Kevin Costner,
Caroline Wozniacki, Kobe Bryant and Novak Djokovic were brand face of Turkish Airlines
with the slogan of “Globally Yours” and company has increased brand awareness. In the
sense of financial discipline, one of the most important keys of sustainable development,
Turkish Airlines applies long-term value-based growth programme and effective cost
management. Aviation Week Magazine, leading broadcasting organizations of aviation
industry, identified Turkish Airlines as the best airline from the point of financial situation in
2010. It has given “The Best Airline of Europe”, “The Best Airline of South Europe” and
“The Best Premium Economy Seat” by “Skytrax World Airline Awards” organization, known
as the Oscars of aviation industry. Turkish Do&amp;Co catering company, joint of Turkish
Airlines, was awarded as the best of world with the catering service in economy class.
Furthermore, it achieves “The Best Market Leader” of 2010 in the context of Air Transport
World Airline Industry Achievement Awards, accepted one of the most prestigious awards of
aviation industry36.
Turkish Airlines also sustains activities about culture, art and social responsibility. It has
supported Istanbul, 2010 European Capital of Culture, as “Capital Sponsorship”. According to
the contract with Turkish Red Crescent, company contributes victims of natural catastrophes.
Moreover, by planting 5.000 saplings it made up “THY Technical Commemorative Forest” in
Kurtköy and Kemerburgaz37.
5.CONCLUSION
This paper has attempted to show how sustainable development in aviation industry is
important for global world. Sustainable development seeks to protect, develop and balance
social, economic and environmental goals and resources in order to secure comfort and
welfare of present and future generations. Aviation industry is the safest and most efficient
transport type. Industry meets the society’s air transport needs by establishing relationship
with employees, local communities, customers and industry partners. A competitive and
commercial viable aviation industry makes a positive contribution to the world economy.
Aviation industry generates $2.2 trillion in 2010 and it equals to 3.5% per cent of global GDP.
Around the world industry supports 56.6 million jobs. Emission is a huge problem standing
that the future generations will face tragically. New aircrafts are 70 % more fuel efficient than
40 years ago and 20 % better than 10 years ago. In 2050, industry aims to decrease carbon
emission to be half of what it was 2005.
The importance of social, economical and environmental purposes and preservation,
improvement and balancement of resources were understood. For these purposes, Turkish

Airlines shows improvements in terms of sustainable development that global community
aims. With its new generation aircrafts, Turkish Airlines tries to decrease the amount of
carbon dioxide caused by aircrafts and other activities and fuel consumption. Hence, it has
taken important steps about the sustainability by being a member of European Emission
Trading Scheme. In the sense of financial discipline, one of the most important keys of
sustainable development, Turkish Airlines has got remarkable performance by performing the
economic aspects of sustainable development. Company has to fulfil conditions what the
sustainability requires so it may survive in the market and become number one in avaition
industry around the world.

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.

Abstract: The function of the engineering profession is to manipulate materials, energy, and
information, in that way creating benefit for humankind. To perform this effectively, engineers
must have knowledge of nature that goes beyond plain theory that is traditionally gained in
educational laboratories. In recent years, however, the environment of these laboratories has
changed. This paper describes the use of simulation technology in engineering education. In
particular, the paper considers materials and metallurgical engineering field which involves
many high temperature materials processing such as castings and solidification. In this study,
an example of use of simulation technique to demonstrate the effects of casting geometry on
solidification times of three different geometries in sand casting process been presented.

Introduction
The overall goal of engineering education is to prepare students to practice engineering and, in particular,
to deal with the forces and materials of nature. Thus, from the earliest days of engineering education,
instructional laboratories have been an essential part of undergraduate and, in some cases, graduate programs.
Indeed, prior to the emphasis on engineering science, it could be said that most engineering instruction took
place in the laboratory. As an example, in surveys of the articles published in the Journal of Engineering
Education from 1993 to 1997, it was found that only 6.5 percent of the papers used laboratory as a keyword.
From 1998 to 2002, the fraction was even lower at 5.2 percent (Wankat 2004).
Laboratory instruction has been complicated by the introduction of two phenomena in the past two decades: the
digital computer and systems of distance learning, particularly over the Internet. The digital computer has
opened new possibilities in the laboratory, including simulation, automated data acquisition, remote control of
instruments, and rapid data analysis and presentation. Today, simulation software programs are available that
accurately emulate many technical and physical processes. These software programs play an important role in
engineering education (Quinn 1993).
Simulation is an important feature in engineering systems or any system that involves many processes. For
example in electrical engineering, delay lines may be used to simulate propagation delay and phase shift caused
by an actual transmission line (Kadlowec et al. 2002). Most engineering simulations entail mathematical
modeling and computer assisted investigation. There are many cases, however, where mathematical modeling is
not reliable. Simulation of such phenomena as fluid dynamics problems and materials processing often requires
both mathematical and physical simulations (Kadlowec et al. 2002).
In education, simulation has been used to provide illustrations of phenomena that are not easily visualized, such
as electromagnetic fields, laminar flow in pipes, heat transfer through materials, and electron flow in
semiconductors or solidification of liquid metal in a mold (Kadlowec et al. 2002). Since simulators essentially
execute mathematical equations and since we are able to develop reasonably accurate mathematical models of
the physical phenomena we study in engineering laboratories, it is natural that simulators have been used as an
adjunct to or even as a substitute for actual laboratory experiments. Simulations can be used as a pre-lab
experience to give students some idea of what they will encounter in an actual experiment (Hodge et al. 2001).
This can improve laboratory safety by familiarizing students with the equipment before actually using it. It also
can result in significant financial savings by reducing the time a student or team needs on real—and expensive—
laboratory equipment, thereby reducing the number of laboratory stations required. Simulations are useful for
experimental studies of systems that are too large, too expensive, or too dangerous for physical measurement by
undergraduate students (Baher 1999, Lee et al. 2001, Svajger and Valencic 2003).

�In this study, an example of use of simulation technique to demonstrate the effects of casting geometry on
solidification times of three different geometries in sand casting process been presented.

The Study
The objective of this study is to demonstrate how a simulation technique can be used instead of a real
casting laboratory (or a foundry) for technology students in engineering education. The objective is to deliver to
the students the effects casting geometries on the cooling and solidification time of liquid steel which allow
solidifying in sand molds.
The Theoretical Aspect of the Study The theoretical aspects of this study were taken from an engineering
textbook (Kalpakjian 1995) which deals with determining the solidification time of sand castings. During the
early stage of solidification, a thin solidified skin begins to form at the cool mold walls and, as time passes, the
skin thickens. With flat mold walls, this thickness is proportional to the square root of time. Thus doubling the
time will make the skin √2=1.41 times, or 41 times thicker. The solidification time is a function of the volume
(V) of a casting and its surface area (A), which is defined by Chvorinov’s rule as;

 V o lu m e 

Solidification time = C 
 S u rfaceA rea 

2

Eqn [1]

where C is a constant that reflects mold material, material properties (including latent heat) and temperature.
Thus a large sphere solidify and cools to ambient temperature at much slower rate than does a smaller sphere.
The reason is that the volume of a sphere is proportional to the cube of its diameter. Similarly, we can show that
the molten metal in a cube-shaped mold will solidify faster than in a spherical mold of the same volume.
Example: Three pieces being cast have the same volume (1dm3) but different shapes. One is a sphere, one a cube,
and the other a cylinder with a height equal to its diameter. We can determine which piece will solidify the
fastest and which one the slowest.
Solution: The volume is unity, so we have from Eqn 1;
1
Solidificatio time ∞ SurfaceAera
(
)

The respective surface areas are;
1

Sphere:

4
V =   π r 3 , r=  3  3 ,


3
 4π 

Cube:

V=a3,

2

 3 3
and A = 4 π r = 4 π 
 = 4 .8 4
 4π 
2

a = 1, and A = 6a2 = 6

1

2

 1  3 and A=2 πr 2 + 2 πr h = 6 πr 2 =  1  3 =5.54
Cylinder: V= πr h = 2 πr , r= 
6π 


 2π 
 2π 
2

3

Thus the respective solidification times t are;
Tsphere=0.043C, tcube=0.028C and tcylinder = 0.033 C. Hence the cube-shaped casting will solidify the fastest
and the sphere-shaped casting will solidify slowest.
Simulation: The above simple example of the effect of casting geometry on the solidification time of three
different shapes was computer simulated as follows. The given casting geometries were drawn as 3D solid
geometries using a CAD program. Each geometry was dimensioned to poses the required volume of 1 dm3 liquid
362

�metal. The solid geometries were then imported into a 3D casting simulation software. The simulation software
used in this study was able to create all the physical environment of a casting laboratuary or a foundry required
to solidify liquid alloy in sand mold of three different shapes. A steel alloy (ST1020) was chosen as the casting
alloy. Finally to solve required finite difference heat transfer equations the casting geometries were meshed with
a 40 mm thick sand mold for each into 1000 000 cubic element. The meshed casting geometries were cut into
two pieces from their common symmetrical planes to reduce the computation time as shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1: Isometric view of the meshed casting geometries used as models in simulation (as cut into half from symmetrical
planes) a-sphere, b-cylinder and c-cube.

Findings
Simulations were performed in computer environment. For the sake of simplicity and to model exactly
the same phenomena given in above example no running and feeding system was used in the casting model.
Figure 2 shows a scene of cooling and progress of solidification for each casting. As seen from Figure 1 advance
of solidification is fastest in cube-shaped casting and slowest in the sphere-shaped casting. This is in agreement
with the above given results from solution of the example. That is, the engineering students attending this class
will virtually see the solidification progress according to the theoretical rule and calculation without any real
experimental work in casting laboratory.
After the simulation have been completed post simulation evaluations were performed. Solidification
time of each casting is plotted to its quarter section of and shown in Figure 3. As seen from the figure the
solidification has lasted 14.66 minutes in sphere, which is the longest time as calculated in above example. This
is followed by cylinder and cube in exactly the same sequence as calculation. The smallest volume/surface area
value was calculated for the cube-shaped casting leading to a smallest solidification time. Results from the
simulation have also confirmed that the solidification has completed in 12.04 minutes in cube-shaped casting. It
is also in agreement with the results from mathematical calculation. This example illustrate that the casting
simulation technology can be useful to illustrate number of things which is difficult to or impossible when done
in a real laboratory environment. Thus, in such areas as castings where molten metals and high temperature are
often involved to experiment which might be dangerous, difficult and expensive to implement, laboratory can be
substituted by simulation.

Conclusions
In this study, an example of use of simulation technique to demonstrate the effects of casting geometry
on solidification times of three different geometries in sand casting process been presented.
Theoretical background and an example were given to calculate the solidification times of three
different geometries as sphere, cube and a cylinder. Result from calculation showed that cube-shaped casting
will solidify the fastest and the sphere-shaped the slowest.
Computer simulation of the solidification process with 3D CAD data of the geometries was also
performed. Results from simulation were in excellent agreement with the result from calculations. This
confirmed that casting simulation technology might substitute the casting laboratory in engineering education.
This can be even more useful for such experiments where high temperature and expensive experimental set-up
involves.

Abstract: Energy is a vital element of development. Clear, reliable, environmental friendly
and sustainable energy is a prerequisite for the sustainable development. In recent years, it is
known that fossil fuel resources are getting towards to finish and also they cause several
environmental problems. Therefore, use of renewable energy sources are becoming a
necessity. The hydroelectric power, also called green energy, is among the renewable energy
sources although it has some disadvantages. Turkey, which is estimated that has 1% of the
world and 16% of Europe total hydroelectric power, has initiated projects in order to benefit
from these resources and some of them are completed and started to produce electricity.
However, as it is the case for several countries nowadays, Turkey is having problems in
producing required electricity. This energy necessity is partly overcome by importing petrol
and natural gas. However, being dependent on outside energy resources carries important
risks for economic and political development. Therefore, it appears that the best solution to
the energy shortage is to maximize the use of renewable energy sources in sustainable ways.
Currently, Turkey uses 34% (43 billion kwh) of the economic hydroelectric potential (125
billion kwh). Increasing this to 100% in the near future is quite important in terms of reaching
planned development objectives.
Keywords: Sustainable development, economic, energy, hydroelectric power.

Introduction
Increasing demand for energy which simultaneously rises with industrialization, population growth and
urbanization gains significance each day. To meet energy demand, fossil fuels are commonly used. As of year
2007, the demand for global energy was obtained from 40,6% coal, 35,6% petroleum and 23,8% natural gas
(www.enerji.gov.tr/2007). However, global reserves of the mentioned fossil resources are rather limited.
Besides, greenhouse effect that emerges after their burning threatens ecosystems. Contrary to them, renewable
energy sources such as sun, geothermal, hydroelectric, biogas, waves and wind are very economical in addition
to their sustainable renew ability. Due to these reasons, it is necessary to gain attraction and universalize the use
of new and renewable energy sources.
Amongst the mentioned renewable energy sources, hydroelectric power-also known as green energy,
takes the first place. Although there are 150 hydroelectric power plants in the country, it is noteworthy that this
ratio represents merely 40% of global operable potential.
As known, there is a detailed technology and experience field concerning dams and HPP
(Hydroelectric Power Plant). Water, which is the raw material used in energy generation, has serious advantages
for ecology since it is renewable and it continuously takes role in hydrological cycle rotation. Furthermore, it

185

�1. International Symposium on Sustainable Development, June 9-10 2009, Sarajevo

has low operation cost and high economical life (Frey and Linke 2002, Yüksek and Kangal 2008:37-38).
Therefore despite its minor disadvantages, it would be beneficial to actualize HPP projects in advance for the
economical, ecological and strategic benefits of Turkey (Sever 2008:230).
Since sustainable development is defined as meeting the demand for economical development needed
by modern societies in a way not to hinder the needs of future groups (UNDP), renewable energy takes a step
closer in that aspect because as known, conventional energy sources will not only be extinct in the future but
their generation and consumption will seriously harm the environment (Altuntaşoğlu 2003:345).
As is known, energy is a critical starting point in achieving the objectives related to social balance,
economic growth and environmental protection which constitute three basic components of sustainable
development. Accordingly, we need to reduce economical and ecological damages of energy consumption
forced by sustainable development of society (Altuntaşoğlu 2003:346). Sustainable energy approach should
cover in itself the strategy, technology and application that will enable continuous procurement of energy in a
cheap environmental and social cost which can only be assured by considering renewable energy sources.
Regardless of its high cost compared to other renewable energy sources (sun, wind, wave etc.) hydraulic power
is an energy type with high applicability considering modern energy technology. Yet, while making use of this
energy type the environmentalist approach envisaged in Renewable Energy Report presented in Global
Sustainable Development Summit (2002) in Johannesburg should be strictly followed.

Turkey’s Hydroelectric Potential and Utilization Status
Turkey which is situated in the closest meeting point of continents Asia, Europe and Africa is amongst
developing countries (Figure 1). Similar to most developed and developing countries, Turkey meets significant
portion of its energy from expensive fossil fuels imported. In year 2006 in Turkey electrical energy need was
procured from 43% natural gas, 28% coal, 25% hydraulic sources. These ratios will remain the same unless new
and renewable potential sources are benefited. In that case our dependency to foreign energy sources will
continue and besides the budget we desperately need to make use in other investments (industry, service,
education) will be shrunk enormously.
Benefiting from most of Turkey’s hydroelectric energy potential in advance would allow great
economic profits because it is envisaged that merely 30% of the energy need of Turkey in 2030 will be met by
hydroelectric. It would be very appropriate to benefit from hydroelectric prior to year 2030. Above all else,
cheap electricity that will be attained by this green energy will have a driving role in development. Since the
money used for import fuels will lessen, currency loss will also be decreased. Contribution of cheap energy to
industrial development will give way to an increase in national income thus the effect of import energy on
country economy will decrease. Moreover as pressure of political tensions on energy will be removed, the
probability of actualizing investment projects will be greater.

Electrical energy, more than others, has been one of the leading problems of Turkey for a long time. It
is obvious that energy trouble we suffer now will be present in future as well. It is urgent that Turkey which
probably will have a double energy consumption about 20 years later (2030) should immediately operate all of
its water power potential.
Turkey (Table 1) which is estimated to possess approximately 1% of global hydroelectric potential and
16% of Europe has planned major energy projects to benefit from this potential and even started some of these
projects’ operation.

According to approximate number presented by State Water Works (SWW), annual hydroelectric
potential of Turkey which currently has rich water resources is about 128 billion kwh (Figure 2). However
some studies envisage that this number can be increased by especially making use of river-type plants.
Although there are various development and consumption scenarios about estimating long-term energy need
from different parties and organizations, it is not hard to assume that in future Turkey’s energy consumption
will rise and unless some measurements are taken presently, a bunch of political and economic problems will
emerge in future. Finally, under the light of new projects prepared according to planning objectives of State
Planning Organization (SPO), it is estimated that Turkey’s electrical energy need in 2030 will approximately be
around 450-500 billion kwh It is envisaged that in 2020 about 25-30% of Turkey’s electrical energy need will
be procured from hydroelectric power plants that will have been operated till then. Accordingly in year 2020
about 85% of Turkey’s total hydraulic energy potential will have been used.

Figure 2: Turkey’s Streams and Dams.
In Turkey, following the 1950s, occurring rapid population growth and urbanization accelerated the
demand for electrical energy. In the face of this demand particularly in the 1960s and 1970s dam investments
followed one another. Finally in the 1980s hydroelectric generation met roughly 50% of our annual energy
need. Moreover as indicated in Table 2, in 1988 60% of our energy need was procured from hydroelectric
power plants however energy generation ratio from water power has been falling lately (Table 2).

The low ratio despite the significant developments in the number of HPP is attached to the highness of
total energy generation. Indeed total energy generation which was 23 billion kwh in 1980 rose to 172 billion
kwh in 2006. Although hydroelectric generation which was 11 billion kwh in 1980 rose to 46 billion kwh in
2004, still its share in total piece decreased. It is true that today, from 142 facilities of which installed capacity
is 12 788 MW average annual 45 billion kWh energy is generated. Besides by completing 41 projects in
construction, 13 projects in final stage and 13 projects in feasibility and master stages, hydroelectric energy
will once again achieve a significant ratio (Table 3, Photo 1).

Figure 1: Deriner will become highest (247 m) dam in Turkey, it completed (Çoruh River-Artvin).
Despite the increase in energy consumption per person in our country, it is still lower than general
expectations. In Turkey while electricity consumption was 7 kwh per person during the early years of Republic
this number rose to 456 in 1980; in 1990 to 819; in 2000 to 1 449 and in 2004 to 1 687. Some sources indicate
that this number reached to even 2 150 kWh as of 2005. Despite this huge increase in electricity generation,
still the amount per person is low. Indeed consumption ratio which is behind global average (2 500 kwh ),
compared to developed countries mostly European with 8 900 kwh and US average value 12 322 kwh, it
becomes obvious that in energy use we are far behind the general objectives. Therefore while increasing the
consumption of energy which is an indication of development, we should at the same time achieve major
investments to procure required energy and prevent a possible energy crisis in future.
Today many countries with different social and economic backgrounds have directed themselves to
sustainable energy sources and developed major projects to increase the share of these sources in total energy
generation. Currently amongst these sources, the most commonly profited one is hydroelectric potential.
Actually in countries such as Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay, Ghana, Zambia, Congo, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan,
Norway, Albania and Iceland the rate of hydroelectric in total energy generation reached to 90-100%. In
addition to them Austria, Sweden, Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Canada, Peru, Columbia, Georgia and New
Zealand can be named as countries where hydroelectric energy generation share is more than half of total
energy (Table 3). In Turkey in order to make hydroelectric potential profitable new dam and HPP technologies
should be followed, and required arrangements should be accelerated for new investments. These sources
should be utilized in coping with energy troubles in Turkey to lessen our foreign-source dependency and
currency loss.

Conclusion
Currently of approximately 125-130 billion kWh hydroelectric potential of Turkey, merely 35-40
billion kWh which amounts to 30-32%, although subject to change each year, is profited. In order to minimize
foreign source dependency in energy and prevent possible energy crisis in future, it is essential that we make
use of our renewable energy sources in the most profitable way. If we desire a better world to leave for the next
generations, only after making use of sustainable energy sources can we achieve sustainable economical
development model. Environment protection measurements and its sanctions go beyond national borders and
achieve an international identity. Because of that reason, active participation to international solutions should be
provided; renewable and environment friendly sources should be supported and developed.

                <text>Energy is a vital element of development. Clear, reliable, environmental friendly  and sustainable energy is a prerequisite for the sustainable development. In recent years, it is  known that fossil fuel resources are getting towards to finish and also they cause several  environmental problems. Therefore, use of renewable energy sources are becoming a  necessity. The hydroelectric power, also called green energy, is among the renewable energy  sources although it has some disadvantages. Turkey, which is estimated that has 1% of the  world and 16% of Europe total hydroelectric power, has initiated projects in order to benefit  from these resources and some of them are completed and started to produce electricity.  However, as it is the case for several countries nowadays, Turkey is having problems in  producing required electricity. This energy necessity is partly overcome by importing petrol  and natural gas. However, being dependent on outside energy resources carries important  risks for economic and political development. Therefore, it appears that the best solution to  the energy shortage is to maximize the use of renewable energy sources in sustainable ways.  Currently, Turkey uses 34% (43 billion kwh) of the economic hydroelectric potential (125  billion kwh). Increasing this to 100% in the near future is quite important in terms of reaching  planned development objectives</text>

                    <text>Use of Intercultural Education Strategies in Improving Student Access and Learning
Outcomes
Victor Shaw
California State University/ Northridge, USA
Key words: Intercultural education, cultural sensitivity, student access, student learning outcomes
ABSTRACT
This paper generalizes from years of teaching experiences with first-generation college students from multicultural
and multi-ethnic backgrounds.
Included in discussion are ten major approaches or strategies: Multicultural orientation, international perspectives,
comparative methods, interdisciplinary approach, focus on fundamental skills, inspiration from the real world,
application to everyday life, service learning in the community, outcome assessment, and cooperative learning.
Cooperative learning, for example, suits students well from low-income families who oftentimes feel intimidated by
the establishment of the knowledge enterprise and need external support to access the higher education system. In
implementation, students are treated as partners. They are encouraged and motivated to involve in class discussion
and to express themselves in front of an audience. Most important, a cooperative learning atmosphere is fostered by
which students feel they have made to the point of understanding something important on their own. This comment
by a student is illustrative: “Even if your verbal answer is incorrect, the professor does not make you feel inferior, he
wants you to expand and think about the answer you just gave.”
