ABSTRACT

Privatization is the process of transferring government properties (public utilities) from the

public sector to the private sector. There should be rules and regulations, which privatizations

have to follow to get those resources. There are both positive and negative externalities from the

privatization of water systems. Provision of the basic water services is a government’s

responsibility in many developing countries around the world.

A key priority in designing urban water policy and institutional reforms with the appropriate

structure of water charges is to ensure sustainability of supply. The recommendations which are

developed in this thesis are that the governments have to be very precise in the specification of

the terms and conditions of the privatization.

Keywords: stakeholder analysis, economic analysis, financial analysis.

ÖZ

Devletin vermekle yükümlü olduğu hizmetleri özel sektöre devretmesine özelleştirme denir.

Özelleştirmenin gerçekleşebilmesi için kurallar ve düzenlemeler vardır.

Özelleştirmede birçok pozitif ve negatif diş etkenler vardır. Gelişmekte olan ülkelerde su dağıtım

sistemi devletlerin sorumluluğu altındadır. Devletler yeterli ve verimli su dağıtımı yapamadıkları

için özelleştirme yolunu seçmektedirler.

Anahtar Kelimeler: stakeholder analizi, ekonomik analiz, finansal analiz.

INTRODUCTION

1.1 Dynamic Energy Flow

Much theoretical and experimental effort has been devoted recently to study the dynamic of

energy flow, following the initial excitation of a surface molecule.

Most of these studies deal with the processes of dissociative adsorption and desorption of small

molecules chemisorbed on metal surfaces.

1.1.1 Nonspecific Van Waals Forces

The essential feature of the physisoprtion systems is that the attractive forces between the

adsorbate and the surface are relatively nonspecific Van Waals forces.

the interconnectedness of all living systems in a single living planetary system, the

biosphere; the importance of natural cycles, and the passage of energy through trophic

levels of living systems.

Figure 1: Evaluation Measurements

Evaluation is perhaps the most complex and the least understood of the

term. Inherent in the idea of evaluation is “value”.

Rigorous analysis of completed or ongoing activities that determine or

support management accountability, effectiveness, and efficiency.

Evaluation of completed activities is called ex-post evaluation, post-hoc

evaluation, or summative evaluation.

Renewable energy in the EU has grown strongly in recent years. More

concretely, the share of energy from renewable sources in gross final

energy consumption has almost doubled in the last years.

Successful financing of innovation in renewable energy (RE) requires

a better understanding of the relationship between different types of

finance and their willingness to invest in RE.

Public financial actors invest in portfolios with higher risk

technologies.
