Publication: Sıfır Atık Yönetimi, Marmara Üniversitesi Anadoluhisarı Kampüsü Örneği
Abstract
Marmara Üniversitesi Anadoluhisarı Kampüsü‟nde Sıfır Atık Yönetimi (SAY) uygulanması konu edinilen bu çalışmada, ülkemizde sıfır atık yönetimi anlayışının ne ölçüde gerçekleştirilebileceği sorusuna ışık tutulması hedeflenmiştir. Atığın ekonomiye kazandırılmasının yanı sıra özellikle toplumun yetişmekte olan bireylerinin, diğer bir ifadeyle öğrencilerin bu uygulamayı ne ölçüde benimseyebileceklerinin araştırılması yapılmıştır. Bu kapsamda çalışmada izlenen yöntem, i) mevcut durumun tespiti (mevcut durumda nereden, ne miktarda atık oluştuğu ve bunun ne şekilde bertaraf edildiğinin belirlenmesi), ii) atık ayrıştırma ve azaltma çalışmaları ve iii) farkındalık ölçümü şeklinde olmuştur. Elde edilen bulgular ışığında, kampüste toplanan atık miktarı 193,20 gr/kişi.gün iken, mevcut çalışmanın gerçekleştirilmesi ile birlikte toplanan atık miktarı 295,54 gr/kişi.gün olmuştur. SAY uygulamasından önce atıkların tamamı dönüştürülemeyen atık niteliğinde iken uygulama ile birlikte, dönüştürülebilir atık olarak %69‟luk kısım ayrılmış, dönüştürülemeyen atık miktarı %31‟e indirilmiştir. Kampüs genelinde toplanan ayrık atığın %9‟unu cam, %11‟ini kâğıt, %35‟ini metal/plastik, %14‟ünü organik atık oluşturmaktadır. Farkındalık ölçme adımı olan anket çalışması sonucunda öğrencilerin kampüsteki SAY uygulamasını yeterince fark etmedikleri ve kampüs paydaşlarının bu konu hakkındaki yeterli duyarlılığa sahip olmadıkları belirlenmiştir. Anket sonuçlarına göre kampüs içerisinde SAY uygulaması hakkında bilgilendirme ve yönlendirme faaliyetlerinin arttırılması gerekmektedir.
In this study, which is about the implementation of Zero Waste Management (ZWM) in Marmara University Anadoluhisarı Campus, it is aimed to shed light on the question of to what extent the understanding of zero waste management can be realized in our country. In addition to the recycling of waste to the economy, it was targeted to reveal out how the highly educated individuals of the society, namely students, can adopt this practice. In this context, the method followed in the study was i) determination of the current situation (determining where and how much waste was generated in the current situation and how it was disposed of), ii) waste segregation and reduction studies and iii) awareness measurement. In the light of the findings obtained, the amount of waste collected in the campus was 193.20 g/person.day before the implementation of ZWM. After applying ZWM, the amount of waste collected was increased to 295.54 g/person.day. While all of the wastes (100%) were non-recyclable before the ZWM application, 69% of the waste was separated as recyclable waste and the amount of non-recyclable waste was reduced to 31%. The recyclable waste collected throughout the campus was composed of 9% glass, 11% paper, 35% metal/plastic, 14% organic waste. As a result of the survey study, it was determined that the students did not sufficiently notice the ZWM application in the campus and the campus stakeholders did not have sufficient sensitivity about this issue. According to the results of the survey, it was necessary to increase the information and guidance activities about the ZWM application in the campus.
