Özet

In the periods when there was no rapid population growth in cities, generation of solid wastes were not seen as a significant problem, due to their low of generation rates, and lesser waste disposal site need comparing bigger cities. However, due to the rapid industrialization and urbanization that took place especially after the industrial revolution, there has been an increase in both the amount of waste and the content and diversity of the wastes generated in the cities. Accordingly, the inadequacies in the facilities and areas used for the storage and disposal of these large amounts of waste have made the control and management of solid wastes one of the biggest problems of modern societies. The difficulties experienced in the management of solid wastes bring along many environmental problems. Today, although the amount of solid wastes vary depending on the development level of the countries, population, construction activities, materials used in construction and traditions, construction and demolition wastes (CDW) are the wastes that have a large share among these wastes. There are various difficulties in the management of these wastes, such as insufficient storage space, high land and transportation costs, along with the environmental risks they may cause. Especially in the management of construction and demolition wastes arising from structures destroyed/to be demolished as a result of disasters such as earthquakes, the preparation of plans created according to various scenarios will contribute to reducing the environmental risks caused by these wastes. The presence of recyclable/reusable materials such as brick, sand, wood, glass, plastic, and metal among these wastes shows that these wastes have economic value. Therefore, in the management of these wastes, it is important to prepare plans such as disposal and recovery / use, which are created according to different scenarios, and to reveal cost analyzes. In this study, the approximate mass and volumetric amounts of construction demolition wastes generated in Hatay province due to the devastating earthquake that occurred in Kahramanmaraş on February 6, 2023, were calculated, and the amounts of scrap iron waste (ISW) and mineral fraction waste (MFW) that may occur in these wastes were determined. The transportation and recovery costs that may occur for the use of raw materials in the ISW and MFW recovery/cement plants have been calculated. According to the results obtained in the study, the amounts of construction and demolition waste were found to be approximately 52 million tons and 31 million m3 by mass and volume, respectively. However, ISW and MFW amounts were calculated as 378 thousand tons and 30.75 million tons, respectively. The transportation costs for the recycling and utilization of these wastes as raw materials have been determined as approximately 790.452-€ and 64.319.827-€. In addition, according to the results obtained from the study, approximately 47.70% in mineral fractions by using these wastes as raw materials; it has been determined that it can provide 99.42% economic gain in scrap iron.
