Yeşil Hastanelerin Gelişimi İçin Stratejik Unsurların Belirlenmesi: Enerji Bazlı Faktörlere Yönelik DEMATEL Yöntemi ile Bir Analiz

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı yeşil hastanelerin gelişimi için önem arz eden stratejik unsurların belirlenmesidir. Bu kapsamda, ilk olarak detaylı bir literatür taraması gerçekleştirilmiştir. Yapılan bu incelemeler sayesinde, enerji bazlı dört farklı faktör tespit edilmiştir. Bu kriterler karbon emisyonunun azaltılması, temiz enerji kullanımı, enerji verimliliğinin sağlanması ve düşük enerji tüketen ekipmanların seçilmesi şeklindedir. Bu kriterler arasından en önemlilerinin tespit edilebilmesi için DEMATEL yöntemiyle bir analiz gerçekleştirilmiştir. Sonuç olarak, yeşil hastanelerin gelişebilmesi için en fazla önem arz eden kriter temiz enerji kullanımıdır. Ayrıca, karbon emisyonunun azaltılması da önem arz eden diğer önemli bir faktördür. Elde edilen bu sonuçlardan anlaşılabileceği üzere, hastanelerin temiz enerji kullanımına acilen geçmeleri gerekmektedir. Bu süreçte, küçük ölçekli güneş panelleri dikkate alınabilmektedir. Bu paneller sayesinde, hastaneler hem kendi enerjilerini üretebilmekte hem de kullanılan enerji çevre dostu olabilmektedir. Bu bağlamda, yapılacak kapsamlı araştırma ve geliştirme çalışmaları sayesinde, bu enerji türlerinin maliyetlerinin düşürülebilmesi mümkün olabilecektir. Belirtilen bu hususa ek olarak, vergi indirimi ve düşük faizli kredi kullanımı gibi devlet teşvikleri sayesinde, küçük ölçekli güneş panellerinin maliyet avantajı elde edebilmesi mümkün olabilecektir.

Identifying Strategic Elements for the Development of Green Hospitals: An Analysis of Energy Based Factors with the DEMATEL Method

Abstract

The aim of this study is to determine the strategic elements that are important for the development of green hospitals. In this context, firstly, a detailed literature review was carried out. Thanks to these investigations, four different energy-based factors were determined. These criteria are reducing carbon emissions, using clean energy, ensuring energy efficiency and choosing low energy consuming equipment. In order to determine the most important of these criteria, an analysis was carried out with the DEMATEL method. As a result, the most important criterion for the development of green hospitals is the use of clean energy. In addition, reducing carbon emissions is another important factor. As can be understood from these results, hospitals urgently need to switch to the use of clean energy. In this process, small-scale solar panels can be considered. Thanks to these panels, hospitals can both produce their own energy and the energy used can be environmentally friendly. In this context, it will be possible to reduce the costs of these types of energy, thanks to comprehensive research and development studies. In addition to this mentioned issue, it will be possible for small-scale solar panels to gain cost advantages thanks to government incentives such as tax reductions and low-interest loans.
