INTEGRATED DECION-MAKING

Decision-Making: Coordinating Bodies  

As part of the preparations, Agenda 21 was translated into Turkish, and a Task Force, with representatives from the Ministry of Environment, State Planning Organization, NGOs, academic institutions, local authorities, private sector, and the UNDP was established to lead the preparatory work. 

Decision-Making : Legislation and Regulations  

Environmental impact assessment became a legally required procedure on February 7 1993, and is currently under revision. 

Decision-Making : Major Groups involvement  

A National Committee involving representatives from all relevant government agencies, NGOs, local authorities, academic institutions, private sector, and the media has also been set up to draft the action plan, and regional workshops have been organized to review drafts.

Programmes and Projects  

No information is available.

Status  

The main objectives of the Sixth Five-Year Development Plan (1991-1995) have been implemented, including accelerating industrial growth, bringing down the chronic inflation rate, increasing the role of the private sector, giving priority to investments in resources allocation, all within a structure open to international competition. The functions of the State to set and supervise rules with regard to the realization of economic activities through market mechanisms in order to raise welfare were the other objectives during the period. But the country was not ready to withdraw the State from economic activities, such as production and distribution.

Information  

The Ministry of Environment is planning to cooperate with the State Planning Organization and the State Institute of Statistics to integrate environment and development information in the near future. Turkey has carried out inventories of existing databases relevant to sustainable development. Data usually collected in the field of sustainable development include information about socioeconomic issues (population, urbanization, agriculture, industry, tourism, energy, transport, resource exploitation, waste management), water resources (withdrawals and use, restitution and discharge, quality and treatment), soil and land-use (land-use, resources and production, salinization and erosion), and biodiversity (state of habitats, threats, evolution, protected and/or sensitive areas). Information is also collected about households, including their income- consumption expenditure, waste generation, and consumption patterns.

Turkey is planning to develop National indicators on sustainable development as an inter-departmental effort (Ministry of Environment, State Planning Organization, and State Institute of Statistics) as soon as the Turkish Environment and Development Observatory has been established under the Mediterranean Action Plan Programme.

Research and Technologies  

With regard to the technological capacity for sharing information electronically, only a few computers have access to international telecommunications lines. This is due to the high costs of telecommunications and to the insufficient number of trained personnel. Concerning capabilities to access remotely sensed data, the State Institute of Statistics has capacity to access data about annual crop yields.
