Abstract

The world is constantly changing and developing. With the effect of this change, development, industrialization and globalization, resources are consumed irregularly and inefficiently. As a result of these consumptions, various wastes are generated. The recycling and disposal of these wastes, which accumulate over time and create negative effects on human-environmental health, individual, family and society, is a very important issue today. This study is carried out in order to evaluate the disposal techniques of medical wastes, which contain various viruses, bacteria, microorganisms and have negative effects on both the environment and human health. Within the scope of the study, a multi-criteria decision-making model consisting of medical wastes and disposal techniques have been proposed and this model has been solved with a two-stage methodology. In the first stage of the solution, medical wastes have been prioritized with the ENTROPY method, and in the second stage, alternative disposal techniques have been evaluated with the WASPAS and EDAS methods. At the end of the calculations, the results obtained by both methods have been compared and the alternatives have been ranked.

TIBBİ ATIK BERTARAF TEKNİKLERİNİN SIFIR ATIK YAKLAŞIMI KAPSAMINDA DEĞERLENDİRİLMESİNE YÖNELİK ÇKKV MODEL ÖNERİSİ VE ÇÖZÜMÜ

Abstract

Dünya sürekli değişmekte ve gelişmektedir. Bu değişim, gelişim, sanayileşme ve küreselleşmenin etkisiyle kaynaklar düzensiz ve verimsiz tüketilmektedir. Bu tüketimler sonucunda çeşitli atıklar ortaya çıkmaktadır. Zamanla biriken ve insan-çevre sağlığı, birey, aile ve toplum üzerinde olumsuz etkiler yaratan bu atıkların geri dönüştürülmesi ve bertaraf edilmesi günümüzde oldukça önemli bir konudur. Bu çalışma, içerisinde çeşitli virüs, bakteri, mikroorganizma barındıran, hem çevre hem de insan sağlığına olumsuz etkileri olan tıbbi atıkların bertaraf tekniklerinin değerlendirilmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır. Çalışma kapsamında tıbbi atıklar ve bertaraf tekniklerinden oluşan çok kriterli bir karar verme modeli önerilmiş ve bu model iki aşamalı bir metodoloji ile çözülmüştür. Çözümün ilk aşamasında ENTROPİ yöntemi ile tıbbi atıklar önceliklendirilmiş, ikinci aşamada ise WASPAS ve EDAS yöntemleri ile alternatif bertaraf teknikleri değerlendirilmiştir. Hesaplamalar sonunda her iki yöntemle elde edilen sonuçlar karşılaştırılmış ve alternatifler sıralanmıştır.
