Purpose

This study was carried out in Igdir, where Turkey’s urban air pollution is at the highest level, and the population is among the smallest. Thus, the study aims to determine the effect of air transportation on air pollution in the most polluted city in Turkey.

Design/methodology/approach

The approach includes six stages: choosing the airport, accessing the flight information for the airport, classifying the aircraft that operated at the airport, determining the aircraft engines, calculating the emission amounts, calculating the landing and takeoff-based emissions.

Findings

Rather than devoting the resources disproportionally to the aviation sector within the scope of economic globalization, as a policy recommendation, to realize its production potential, Igdir, which has a great agricultural production capacity, considering its microclimate, fertile soil and arable land, should be urgently integrated into neighboring markets and the national market via railways.

Practical implications

It is inferred from the research that Turkey has to consider implementing the emissions tax policy, while the Turkish aviation sector is to realize new regulations for aircraft-engine matching to take public health and the impacts of the airports on their surroundings into consideration more seriously.

Originality/value

This study is an original one, as it puts the increasing pollution caused by the aircraft into a historical and political-economic perspective. Also, it is an example of an interdisciplinary work that combines environmental science and political science.

在土耳其污染最严重的城市中确定航空运输对空气污染的影响

目的

这项研究是在伊迪尔（Igdir）进行的，那里的城市空气污染水平最高，而人口却是最小的。因此，该研究旨在确定在土耳其污染最严重的城市中，航空运输对空气污染的影响。

设计/方法/方法

该方法包括六个阶段：选择机场，访问机场的航班信息，对在机场运行的飞机进行分类，确定飞机发动机，计算排放量，计算着陆和基于起飞的排放。

发现

作为一项政策建议，与其在经济全球化的范围内不成比例地将资源投入航空领域，以实现其生产潜力，不如考虑其微气候，肥沃的土壤和耕地，具有巨大农业生产能力的伊迪尔应该成为世界上最大的农业生产能力。通过铁路紧急整合到周边市场和全国市场中。

实际影响

从研究中可以推断出，土耳其必须考虑实施排放税政策，而土耳其航空部门将实现飞机发动机匹配的新法规，以更加重视公共卫生和机场对周围环境的影响。

创意/价值

这项研究是一项原始研究，因为它将飞机所造成的日益严重的污染问题纳入了历史和政治经济学的视野。而且，这是结合环境科学和政治科学的跨学科工作的一个例子。
