In this study, the Değirmendere waterfall located in the boundary of İbrahimderesi village, Ulus, Bartın is investigated. The waterfall situated in the West Blacksea Region in the southwest of the Küre mountains is 34 km from Ulus town and 54 km from Bartın. The aim of this study is to provide some planning about its active usage and sustainability as an area that can be used for tourism and recreation. During the study, the morphometric features of the area and the waterfall was studied. In addition, the location and the features of its environment was mentioned. The waterfall located on the Değirmendere stream which is the side stream of the Ulus river is on the land with sandstone and has four steps with the height 10.90 m. According to the WWD database, the waterfall is in the type called ''Tiered''. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Following the failure of South Stream, the TurkStream project backed by Russia and Turkey aims at doubling natural gas supplies to Europe via the southern route. While the U.S. has repeatedly warned against Kremlin endeavours to increase EU energy dependence on Russian gas, several EU Member States see TurkStream favourable to their domestic energy agenda. This paper will, therefore, analyze the TurkStream project within the context of securitazation theory of International Relations literature, as seen by the U.S., Russia and the EU in order to identify the project's prospects for the future.

The villages, as the subject of our research, Aşağı Çat, Yukarı Çat, and Taşağıl are administratively located in the borders of Çat district affiliated to Erzurum province. These villages had been founded at the edge of Pisyan and Lezgi streams, which then creates Tuzla Stream, in the valley base. However, since Palandöken Dam has been built, next to the Erzurum-Bingöl highway and close to the point where these rivers met, to fulfill the drinking water need of Erzurum city, the villages mentioned above are submerged. For these submerged villages, new settlements have been founded next to the dam and the villagers have moved here. Hence, concrete and modern buildings superseded the old village houses. On the other hand, the locations and the shapes of the abodes have come up with several problems. The general geographical features of the area and the problems due to translocation are the primary purposes of our work. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Demre Creek is one of the most important rivers of Southwest Anatolia with its basin width of about 1000 km2 and its delta of 22 km2. Beymelek Lagoon on the south of Demre delta was formed by accumulation of Demre Creek alluvial deposit before Beymelek Bay through coastal dynamics under the effect of prevailing south wind. The lake fed by karstic sources is independent of Demre Creek basin except for southwest delta and sandbars. In this research, it was determined that Demre Creek was formed during Neogene Period and that it first flowed into Beymelek Bay and later into the Mediterranean Sea from the southwest of the bay. Also, Demre Creek used these valleys throughout Pliocene-Lower Pleistocene Periods, but left these places due to tectonic activities and climatic fluctuations of the area and started to flow from its current valley during Middle Pleistocene. In this research, which aimed to determine the relation between the valley changes of Demre Creek during Paleogeography Periods and Beymelek Bay, geologic and geomorphologic characteristics of Demre Creek basin were analyzed in details and especially the evolution of the basin from its formation to Prior Holocene was dealt with.
