Socio-economic impacts in a Changing Climate: Case Study Syria

Abstract

As a result of climate change, it is clear in the coming years to provide an instability for conflict zones. Climate change has potential socioeconomic consequences in addition to environmental impacts. Drought is one of the result of climate change especially in Mediterranean. It can also increase by unsustainable government policies and effects quality of life of people. Decreasing of water resources and rural land using force people to migrate from rural areas to urban areas as a consequence of low productivity from agriculture and animal husbandry, rising of food prices and decreasing of wealth level. Results of climate change have differences depends on features of countries as climate vulnerability, social policies, ethnicity. In this study we evaluate socioeconomic impacts of 2006-2010 severe drought in Syria There are a number of studies in which the Syrian war is overstated by the excess of the relationship as much as the work that expresses the emergence of climate changes as a result. We observed that in addition current problems in Syria, drought between 2007 and 2010 contributed to uprising in 2011 and consequently to immigration, conflict and terrorism. It is not wrong to evaluate that the impact of the spread of conflicts inherited from generations before the arid years of succession is at least as effective as the causes of other conflicts. The long-term effects of climate change, which has begun to emerge, indicate potential conflicts that can develop in water-scarce, multicultural geographies, particularly in the Middle East.

Spatially Constrained Clustering of Nigerian States: Perspective from Social, Economic and Demographic Attributes

“…Essentially, constrained clustering could be carried out temporally, spatially or for a combination of both. Adams, et al, (2016) created andÜlker et al, 2018 suggested four subregions within a large basin (St. Lawrence Basin, Canada) using 21 attributes (for defined ecological units) by employing spatially constrained clustering. This was carried out to aid the delineation of homogenous units which could be used for optimising integrated water monitoring network for the basin.…”

Mussel: a potential pollution indicator in the aquatic ecosystem and effect of climate change

“…Up to one third of global carbon dioxide emissions are absorbed by the oceans (Borunda, 2019;Ülker et al, 2018;Townhill et al, 2017). The ocean is a natural sink for carbon dioxide (CO2); however, the increase of anthropogenic emissions is changing the ocean chemistry by lowering the seawater pH, and causing a reduction in the availability of carbonates (CO32-) and biogenic calcium carbonate (CaCO3), a process widely known as ocean acidification (Caldeira and Wickett, 2003;Feely et al, 2009;Gattuso and Hansson, 2011;Gazioğlu and Okutan, 2016).…”

Study of Vulnerable and Water Erosion Risk Areas in Sareg Catchment (Central Tunisia) Using Remote Sensing, GIS and P.A.P/R.A.C. Qualitative Approach

“…has the advantage of combining user-defined descriptive methods directly on field with predictive methods developed in a GIS environment (Grisbach et al 1998). Since guidelines publication, several studies have tried to use them in different regions of the Mediterranean area (Sadiki et al 2012;Boukrim et al 2012;Faleh et al 2014;Lima et al, 2014;Simav et al, 2015;Kaya & Gazioğlu, 2015;Mesrar et al 2015;Gazioüğlu, 2018;Ülker et al, 2018;Ouallali et al 2016;Lakhili et al 2017;Ousmana et al 2017;Fernandez et al 2016 in Morocco, Portugal, etc.…”
