An Approach to Assessment of Geoheritage Elements Determined in the Upper Aras Basin (NE Türkiye) as Resources: a Decision-Making Model Based on Interval Rough Numbers (IRNs)
(Elsevier Ltd, 2025) Zorlu, K.; Dede, V.; Öztürk, Y.; Çorba, B.Ş.; Kopar, İ.; Serin, S.
Geoheritage elements are significant geological resources that provide scientific, educational, and touristic usage and contribute to socio-economic development. To protect these resources sustainably, effective policies are necessary. This study focuses on the Upper Aras Basin in northeast Türkiye, employing a multi-criteria model to assess geoheritage potential. We used the combined models SWARA (Stepwise Weight Assessment Ratio Analysis) and CoCoSo (Combined Compromise Solution), which are based on Interval Rough Numbers (IRN), for this study's methods. This approach addresses uncertainties that may arise in the assessment of geoheritage elements using IRN, facilitating group decision-making for their management. In the study, geosites in the basin were classified according to six different categories of geoheritage types. In addition, their importance was determined at the global, national, regional, and local levels. According to the analysis results, G14 (Tuzluca Rainbow Hills, Sinkholes and Ichnofossils), G8 (Ani Ruins and Rock Houses), G15 (Kağızman Basalt Columns), G21 (Yazılıkaya Rock Paintings) and G2 (Akçakale Island and Historical Settlement) ranked first as the five most important geosites. In the study, inferences regarding establishing legal basis and grounds, inventory evaluation, the creation of geoparks, and sustainable use of resources were formulated to create an effective geoconservation policy in Türkiye and the field. Additionally, it discusses the scientific, educational, and touristic potential of geoheritage resources under a sustainable use policy. By integrating multiple expert opinions, the methodology effectively evaluates and ranks geosites, demonstrating its usefulness in assessing the significance of these resources. Overall, the findings aim to promote effective management and conservation of geoheritage. © 2025 Elsevier Ltd
Investigation of Some Morphological Traits of Boer X Hair F1 Crossbred and Pure Hair Goat Kids Raised in Semi-Intensive Conditions
(Universidad de la Frontera, 2017) Bolacali, M.; Öztürk, Y.; Yilmaz, O.; Küçük, M.; Karslı, M.A.
The aim of the study was to determine various morphological characteristics from birth to the age of 150th day of Boer x Hair goat F1 crossbred (BH) kids and pure Hair goat (HG) kids raised in semi-intensive conditions and reveal factors such as the effects of genotype, dam age, dam’s live weight, year, birth type and sex on this parameter. This study was applied between the years 2011-2012 in Çatak in the Van region and between the years 2013-2014 at the Yuzuncu Yil University Research and Practice Farm. Various body measurements; wither height, back height, rump height, sacrum height, body length, chest length, chest depth, chest circumference, circumference of leg, cannon bone circumference, chest width, front-rump width, mid-rump width were determined 29.8, 28.4, 28.7, 26.2, 28.7, 17.0, 13.3, 30.4, 26.9, 5.2, 5.9, 6.0, and 8.7 cm at birth, respectively; 43.8, 43.8, 44.6, 40.6, 43.6, 22.2, 19.3, 51.7, 41.4, 6.6, 9.2, 9.3, and 11.3 cm at 60th day, respectively; 56.1, 53.4, 54.4, 47.5, 53.3, 27.3, 24.1, 61.4, 49.6, 7.3, 10.6, 11.1, and 13.2 cm at 150th day, respectively for BH kids; 27.3, 25.9, 29.3, 25.3, 27.1, 15.9, 12.3, 29.0, 21.3, 5.1, 5.0, 5.6, and 7.4 cm at birth, respectively; 40.4, 40.1, 42.9, 37.6, 40.5, 22.3, 18.4, 48.1, 36.4, 6.0, 7.9, 9.1, and 10.8 cm at 60th day, respectively; 50.3, 49.2, 51.0, 45.7, 50.4, 27.5, 22.9, 57.3, 43.4, 6.5, 9.5, 10.7, and 11.9 cm at 150th day, respectively for HG kids. When all of the data was considered, it was concluded that the BH kids are much better than the HG kids for both morphological and zoometric values. © 2017, Universidad de la Frontera.
