Disasters are events that occur since the beginning of time. When previous records are investigated, information on various types of disasters occurred in different parts of the World are encountered. Disasters occur unexpectedly and require constant state of preparedness. No matter how extensive the precautions are, disasters cannot be prevented, but the precautions significantly contribute to the reduction of negative consequences to a minimum. In this context, response plans to events that may occur are as important as the preparedness plans. Responding to disaster victims on time, correctly and efficiently reduces the mortality rate to a minimum as well as increasing the survival rate. Correct classification of the victims based on the life threatening events or the priority of their injuries, providing transport, and ensuring each individual receives emergency aid should be the main goals of triage. That is, to be the most helpful to as many injured people as one can by using the limited opportunities available. A successfully performed triage not only increases the success of the healthcare team’s response, it also enables healthy execution of scene management. In this study, the aim is to provide information about START scale composed of the first letters of “Simple Triage And Rapid Treatment” that has been developed and accepted to be used in mass events.

Turkish Cement Sector uses industrial and domestic wastes as alternative fuels or raw materials in licensed facilities. Increasing use of alternative fuels and raw materials is very important in terms of eliminating environmental pollution, saving natural material resources and energy. Alternative fuels can generally be gathered under the groups of sewage sludge, waste oil, worn out tires, solvent and paints. As for alternative raw materials, they can be evaluated undermine waste, heat treatment waste, construction waste groups. The aim of this study is to evaluate the use of alternative raw materials and fuels and their environmental benefits. For this purpose, in a cement plant selected as a case study, wastes accepted between 2013 and 2015, pre-acceptance analyzes, quantities of alternative raw materials and fuels used, and their financial impacts are examined. Iron scent, grid, casting sand and phosphogypsum are recycled as an alternative raw material in the cement plant in accordance with quality parameters. The use of alternative raw materials resulted in savings totaling 7.031.998 TL for the plant. As alternative fuel, sewage sludge is used. The financial benefit of sewage sludge usage to the plant is 200.514.450 TL.

Developments in the fields of science and technology, especially since the last half of the 20th century, reveal new research and approaches in the world. In presenting the results of these researches and approaches, it is not enough to think and evaluate in a single field today. It is not possible to examine newly developed areas through a single disciplinary approach. It is the use of other disciplines to support these thoughts and evaluations. In this context, interdisciplinary approach is needed. Today, as a result of the advancement in technology and science, the development of construction technology and changes in the living necessities; designing architectural spaces that are more liveable, transferable to future generations, and causing less damage to the environment during their construction and use is now regarded as a design trend. Hence, interior architecture alone is not enough to create environmentally sensitive space. In this process, it is necessary to receive support for environmental engineering issues. In this study, it is aimed to handle both the interior architecture, a discipline of design, and the environmental engineering, a discipline of engineering with an interdisciplinary approach to find common grounds and to determine the contribution of environmental engineering to interior architecture. In the scope of the study, firstly, the interdisciplinary study features were mentioned, the related disciplines were examined and the common grounds between the two disciplines were explained with examples.
