Depending upon promoting and wide-spreading the use of renewable energy sources to preserve natural sources and forest land, several laws and regulations have been drawn by States in terms of sustainability. Investigations in forest land and natural sources for various reasons, statistics revealing forest crimes are being overviewed for sustainable preservation of forests and new arrangements in laws and regulations are being made. The statistics of forest crimes by the Office of Forestry, Preservation and Exploitation Branch and the Electricity Authority of TRNC were referred to while carrying out this study. The findings in these statistics revealed a substantial increase in forest crimes between the years 2012-2017 due to the lack of a State policy and failure in the common use of renewable resources. The findings in this research point to the fact that, based on a sustainable environment policy, more investment in renewable energy sources is essential and will positively affect the reductionof forest crime rates.

Although the effects of noise and noise pollution on the people living in the settlements located in these areas on the people living in these areas are of great importance, it affects their mental and psychological conditions negatively, and this situation creates a domino effect and causes greater health problems. As a result of the technological developments that took place in the second half of this century, although the sound and noise levels caused by the aircraft decreased, the measurements made show that this is not at a sufficient level. In this context, the aim of the study is to determine the effects of the noise and noise pollution caused by the existing settlements in the Ercan Airport region during the descent, take-off, or landing and take-off of the aircraft and the measures to be taken. In the study, due to the lack of publications on the subject and the coronavirus pandemic all over the world, it was tried to come to a conclusion by using ready data and combining these data with Google earth and flyradar24 programs.

INTRODUCTION:The global knowledge world of the 21st century requires rethinking about economy, politics, social facts, technology and increasing importance for information besides rethinking ecology and discussing it as a part of tendency in globalisation. Environmental issues have become a subject which is widely discussed and waiting for solution towards the concern of whole humanity. The individuals develop awareness and take precautions towards this subject is considered as an important step in solving problems. From this point of view, among individuals, especially youth, the subjects about creating environmental awareness and constructing consciousness of protecting environment have also been researched in academic studie s (Tunc, Omur, & Duren, 2012).Individual behaviours related to environment have been influenced by people's attitude and belief. At the same time, the way of discussing about environmental issues is also seen as a moral issue. The individuals who have environmental awareness and who worry about the self -effects of the environmental issues are supposed to behave with a care towards environment in every activity while leading their lives. Yet the behaviour of individuals towards the environment is the reflections of their environmental sensitiveness (Gadenne, Kennedy, & McKeiver, 2009).Environmental consciousness is the sum of behaviours that transfers ideas to the life which include environmental decisions, principles, comments and sum of emotions related to these behaviours (Turk, 2011). Education programs have primary importance in ra ising awareness about environment. Environmental education is the process of improving attitude to protect nature, value judgement, knowledge, skill and showing environmental -friendly behaviours and observing its results (Ozpinar, 2010). Preserving natural resources, developing a common sense for environmental issues and constructing a clean and healthy future can be provided by giving necessary importance to education (Firat, Kiraz, & Sepetcioglu, 2012). Kiziroglu (2009) has come to a conclusion as below a bout environmental education:* Environmental education shapes the ecologic behaviour patterns of individuals.* Environmental education includes the relationship of behaviours with natural, social and artificial environment which is demanded at schools and universities.* Environmental education helps students to gain the necessary ability for solving problems at school, enables them to take part in political life* Environmental education should be provided in interdisciplinary level* Environmental education should be shaped in accordance with students, families, mass media, non-government organisations, school management and teachersIn "Our Social Environment' lesson which is taught to 4 th and 5th grade students at Northern Cyprus education system, the environm ent subject is appropriate for this age group takes place and this lesson is supported as well as reinforced with activities (Science -Nature Activity). Formerly, there used to be the "Environment, Nature and Traffic' lesson for primary school children in 1 st, 2nd and 3rd classes but later, this lesson was removed from the curriculum. At present, the environmental subjects are placed in the related units convolutedly within life science subject. In the 4 th and 5th grades, environmental topics take part in the Social Studies lesson within the name of "Technology and Environment' where the advantages and disadvantages of technology are discussed (Yetkin & Dascan, 2010).As per the curriculum laid by General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE), the enviro nmental topics are placed under Foundation Science to GCSE (for 6 -7th), Science and Geography (for 6 th grade), Science (for 7-8th grade), Geography, Biology and Chemistry (for 9 -10-11-12th grade) lessons (Firat, Kiraz, & Gunduz, 2011).At the level of bachelor degree, the lessons within environmental theme haven't taken commensurate place. …

This research aims to expose deployment challenges of offshore renewable energy systems in developing countries. The investigation of the deployment model covers climate conditions, economic conditions, necessary infrastructure services and wind power by considering the case of Cyprus Island which is one of the Small Island Developing States (SIDS) countries. The convenience of Offshore Energy Systems to the territory and their systematic proper work is an important issue. Because of that, the setting up of Offshore Wind Energy Tribunes in Cyprus, the planning process, structuring of cost values and necessary resources, the investigation of the geographic conditions for obtaining the energy flow and assessment of these conditions for Offshore Wind Tribunes are the prime objectives of this study. The orientation period and the applicable qualifications of the offshore energy systems were evaluated on the basis of the world wide references. The study is concluded by the estimation of the advantages and disadvantages of the system for Cyprus.

Due to the increase in the popularity of renewable energy resources based on their low cost, efficiency and environmentally friendly nature; many developing countries has begun to take precautions in order to facilitate the best possible utilisation of these resources. Many research showed that energy consumption and re-use of energy generated by biomass utilisation in several countries have come into prominence. This research addresses the advantages and disadvantages of biomass energy, environmental and economic factors and benefits of the utilisation of biomass energy systems. Nevertheless, legal processes required for biomass energy facilities are reviewed and included in this research. This research covers the sample project named as 'MorSalkim' which is a prospective project that will be possibly held in Cyprus Island which is regarded as a developing island country in the Mediterranean sea. In this project, the role of utilisation of geographical information systems within biomass centre configuration and increase in efficiency and the economic, environmental and sustainability facts are revealed.
