Renewable energies have an essential role in the reduction of external dependency of countries by meeting their energy needs from domestic resources, sustainable energy use as a result of diversification of resources and minimizing the damage to the environment from energy consumption. The study aims to measure technological developments' impact on Turkey's renewable energy production. Therefore, this study uses annual time series data on Turkey from 1980-2022 to investigate the causal link between technology and renewable energy production. This study applies Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) (1981), Phillips-Perron (PP) (1988), Kwiatkowski-Phillips-Schmidt-Shin (KPSS) (1992) and Ng-Perron (2001) tests for data analysis. In the long run, it has been found that there is a significant positive relationship between technological development and renewable energy; in addition, it has been found that there is a bidirectional causality relationship between renewable energy production and economic growth in the short term.

This study analyzed, within the scope of disaster law, the suitability of intervention methods used via revisions and changes in plans designed for reserve building areas and areas designated as at-risk. A four-stage methodology was employed: collecting archival documents, digital data, and interview findings; performing a comparative technical analysis of the abrogated and current zoning plans regarding density, social infrastructure, transport network, and functional changes; evaluating changes in terms of plan continuity and integrity; and synthesizing the results to propose recommendations. In the risk area, the current plan reduced the population by 37% and increased social reinforcement areas by 90%, as compared with the previous plan. In the reserve building area, the population increased by 73% and social reinforcement areas grew by 40%, although 90% of these areas did not meet per capita standards.
