Özet:

Factors such as non-renewable energy resources, modern urbanization, population growth, which are used to meet the increasing energy need with industrialization, cause problems such as global warming, climate changes, air-water-soil pollution, waste and environmental damage, and a decrease in biodiversity.The acceleration of the use of raw materials (resources), the increase in energy use, and the change in consumption levels and individual habits as a result of globalization, which emerged with the transition to mass production, are the basis of environmental degradation. Factors such as not paying attention to green-environment-friendly technologies, lack of political regulation/enforcement cause environmental pollution that is limited in certain regions to global dimensions, causing disturbances in the climatic and eco-systemic structure. Due to the fact that the negative effects on the environmental structure are directly/indirectly related to certain costs and expenditures in the country economies, the country's economies show an unsustainable growth trend with industrialization and the environmental pollution factor is affected by neighborhood relations, spatial relations should be considered while examining the concept of environmental degradation. Within the scope of the article, after mentioning the conceptual framework of environmental sustainability, information about the use of dynamic spatial panel data analysis method in the modeling and estimation phase, and the advantages of its use in the evaluation of environmental sustainability are mentioned.
