  Green Economy Practices in Selected Cities of the European Union: The Cases of Amsterdam, Freiburg, Copenhagen and Ljubljana

  Seyhan, Burak

  This study comparatively analyzes green economy practices in four leading EU member states: Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Freiburg, and Ljubljana. Urban green transition strategies through multi-level governance, policy instruments, citizen participation, circular economy practices, and sustainable infrastructure development. A qualitative multiple case study design was adopted for the analysis based on secondary data from municipal strategy documents, EU policy frameworks, academic literature, and reports by international organizations. The cities were selected using purposive sampling based on the following criteria: (i) EU membership; (ii) long-term green economy strategies; (iii) international recognition such as European Green Capital; and (iv) academic and institutional data availability. Data analysis was carried out by means of qualitative content analysis using a category-based coding framework. NVivo 14 was used for coding and thematic structuring. Key analytical categories included policy domains (e.g., energy, mobility, waste, green infrastructure), governance models (e.g., participatory, public-private), policy instruments (e.g., incentives regulatory tools), and performance metrics (e.g., emissions reductions waste diversion rates). Results indicated that the city has developed a distinct mix of green policies determined by its institutional capacity local resources and social context. For example: Amsterdam emphasizes circular economy and smart mobility; Copenhagen integrated infrastructure in line with carbon neutrality targets; Freiburg governance model centered on civic engagement; Ljubljana success in waste management plus planning for green spaces. SWOT analyses revealed the strengths and weaknesses of each city in terms of their green economy policies. The study underlines the importance of multi-layered and participatory governance frameworks, temporally and contextually sensitive policy instruments, as well as data-driven monitoring systems to align local green economy initiatives with broader EU strategies such as the European Green Deal or Sustainable Development Goals. Results provide both conceptual and practical contributions toward an ever-growing literature about sustainable urban policy plus governance within a European context.

  Economic Crises, Social Protection Policies and the Transformation of Family Structures in the European Union: Panel Data Analysis

  Seyhan, Burak

  This study investigates the impact of economic crises on the transformation of family structures in European Union (EU) countries through a panel data analysis approach. The divorce rate is used as the dependent variable, while the unemployment rate, real GDP per capita, and social protection expenditures are treated as independent variables. The analysis is based on a balanced panel dataset covering 27 EU member states over the period 1995 to 2022. The study applies several econometric tests including cross-sectional dependence, slope homogeneity, panel unit root, panel cointegration, and long-run estimations (FMOLS, DOLS, OLS). Additionally, panel Granger causality tests are conducted to examine the directionality of relationships between variables. Empirical findings suggest that an increase in unemployment significantly raises divorce rates, while higher social protection spending reduces them. Real GDP per capita is also found to have a statistically significant and positive effect on divorce. The causality results reveal both bidirectional and unidirectional relationships across variables. These outcomes imply that economic instability tends to weaken family cohesion, whereas well-designed social welfare policies act as a stabilizing force. Accordingly, the study emphasizes the critical importance of strengthening social protection systems and adopting employment-centered macroeconomic strategies to ensure the sustainability of family structures within the EU.

  Yenilenebilir Enerji - Ekonomik Büyüme İlişkisi Açısından Türkiye ve AB Ülkelerinin Malmquist Endeksi ile Performans İncelemesi

  Seyhan, Burak; Seyhan, Nazlı

  Nüfus artışı, teknolojik gelişmeler vb. birçok faktör dünyadaki enerji ihtiyacını ve tüketimini hızla artırmaktadır. Son dönemlerde kişi başına düşen enerji tüketiminin artması ciddi boyutlara ulaşmış, enerji üretiminde dışa bağımlığı azaltma ve küresel ekonomik rekabette belirleyici bir aktör olma hususları enerji üretiminin önemini artırmıştır. Bu sebeple, enerji kaynaklarına sahip olan ülkeler, ekonomik olarak diğer ülkelerden farklı bir konuma geçmiştir. Bununla birlikte, günümüzdeki çevre sorunları, fosil kaynakların tükenebilir olması veya fosil kaynaklara sahip olunmaması vb. sebepler yenilenebilir enerji kaynaklarına ilgiyi artırmıştır. AB’ye üyelik sürecinde, Türkiye ve AB ülkelerinin yenilenebilir enerji performanslarının zaman içinde değerlendirilmesi literatüre ve yapılacak çalışmalara da katkı sağlayacaktır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, yenilenebilir enerji ve ekonomik büyüme ilişkisi açısından Türkiye ve AB ülkelerinin verimlilikleri değerlendirmektir. Çalışma kapsamında yapılan literatür incelemesi sonucu yenilenebilir enerji göstergeleri ile ilgili 5 değişken belirlenmiştir. Girdi değişkenleri; CO2 Salınımı, Toplam Enerji Tüketimindeki Yenilenebilir Enerji kullanımı (YEK), İşgücü (EMP) çıktı değişkenleri; Kişi Başına GSYİH ve Toplam Enerji Arzının İçindeki Yenilenebilir Enerji Oranı (TEAYEO)’dır. Çalışmada, bahsi geçen ekonomik ve yenilenebilir enerji göstergeleri yardımıyla 2008-2015 döneminde AB ülkeleri ve Türkiye’nin performanslarındaki değişimler değerlendirilmiştir. Zaman içindeki verimliliğin gelişimini değerlendirebilmek için Malmquist Toplam Faktör Verimliliği (TFV) endeksi kullanılmıştır. Malmquist Endeksi, Veri zarflama analizi (VZA) temelli bir endeks olduğundan karar verme birimleri (KVB) arasında homojeniteyi sağlayabilmek amacıyla kümeleme analizi yapılmış ve benzer ülkeler gruplandırılmıştır. Çalışma sonucunda, 2008-2015 dönemdeki TFV ortalama değerlerine göre ülkeleri sıraladığımızda, Lüksemburg’un diğer ülkelerden kayda değer bir farkla birinci sırada yer aldığı görülmektedir. Lüksemburg’u sırasıyla Belçika, Türkiye, Bulgaristan, Hırvatistan Slovenya, Kıbrıs vd. ülkeler takip etmektedir. Türkiye’nin de ortalama TFVG değerine göre başarılı ülkelerden olduğu görülmektedir.

  The relationship between environmental pollution, trade openness and economic growth in turkey

  Seyhan, Burak; Hayaloğlu, Pınar; Artan, Seyfettin

  In this study, the validity of Environmental Kuznets Curve hypothesis was tested for Turkey by investigating the effects of economic growth and trade openness on environmental pollution. These relationships were analyzed via time series analysis using the period of 1981-2012. The results obtained in the study seem to support that there is a relationship between economic growth, trade openness and environmental pollution in the long term in Turkey. However, it was found out that there was an inverted U-shape relationship between economic growth and environmental pollution consistent with the hypothesis environmental Kuznets Curve, while, there was no inverted U-shape relationship between economic growth and trade openness.
