İktisadın temel sorunu olan karar verme sürecinin açıklanması için çeşitli teoriler geliştirilir. Teorilere konu olan rasyonel insanın davranışlarının katı varsayımlarla sınırlanması temel sorun olan karar verme sürecinin gerçekçi olarak ortaya konulamaması anlamına gelmektedir. Neoklasik iktisadın varsayımlarının insani yapının bilişsel ve algısal bileşenleri dikkate alınarak rahatlatılması bu sürecin gerçekçiliğini artırarak açıklama gücünü yükseltecektir. Enerji ve çevre açısından asimetrik bilgi ve çevresel problemler standart iktisadi analizde piyasa başarısızlığı olarak ele alınmaktadır. Ancak bu analizlerde çözüme yönelik önerilen parasal faktörler yanında insani davranışlara yön veren, parasal olmayan faktörlerin de dikkate alınması enerji tasarrufu ve enerji verimliliği sağlanması ve politik çıkarımların etkin ve etkili olması açısından önemlidir. Enerji ve çevre sorunları konusunda etkin ve etkili politika önerilerinde bulunulması hanehalklarının bilişsel eğilimleri ve algılarının dikkate alınması ile mümkündür. Bu çalışmada enerji ve çevre sorunları ortaya konulup yenilenebilir enerjiye geçişin önemi vurgulanarak bu sorunların çözümü için davranışsal iktisat literatüründe yer alan politik çıkarımlar araştırılacaktır. ; Various theories are developed to explain the decision-making process which is the main problem of economics. Limiting the behaviours of rational man subject to theories, with strict assumptions means that the decision-making process which is the main problem could not be presented realistically. Relieving of the assumptions in Neoclassical economics through considering the cognitive and perceptive components of the human psych, will increase the explanatory power of this process, by enhancing its realism. Assymetrical information in the sense of energy and environment, and environmental problems are dealt as market failure in the standart economical analysis. However, in these analyses, beside the suggested monetary factors which are solution-oriented, also considering the non-monetary factors directing the human behaviours are vital in terms of energy conservation and energy efficiency, and efficiency and effectiveness of policy outcomes. Advising efficient and effective policy implications on energy and environmental problems it is possible by considering the cognitive bias and perceptions. In this study, while emphasizing the importance of transition to renewable energy, energy and environmental problems will be presented and the policy implications in the behavioural economics' literature will be explored to find solutions for these problems.

The role of English as a global language has been increasing greatly in importance for the past few decades, giving rise to different varieties of English spoken by native and non-native English speakers all around the world. It has pointed to the need to raise intercultural awareness in English language classes.

A mixed method research investigation was used in this descriptive case study. Questionnaires were employed to collect data from 45 English language instructors and 92 English language students. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight English language instructors, and focus group interviews were conducted with 24 English language students. The quantitative data was analyzed via SPSS 20 and the qualitative data was analyzed via NVivo 10.0 qualitative data software. The findings revealed that while both instructors and students seemed to be aware of the importance of intercultural awareness in English language teaching, their perspectives didn't indicate a thorough intercultural point of view. The findings yielded several significant implications including the need to develop an intercultural curriculum, textbook, and teacher training programs to enhance intercultural awareness in English language teaching and learning process.

Widespread usage of the Internet services in all over the world has resulted in implementation of the Internet censorship -restrictions on what can be publicized or viewed on the Internet- and the surveillance society in many countries. The Internet access restrictions and censorship are being used by some governments to control and suppress individuals' sharing and reaching information on the Internet. In this study, following a theoretical discussion based on the review of relevant literature, individuals' perceptions related to the Internet censorship in Turkey is demonstrated based on a qualitative research in the form of semi-structured interviews. The findings of the study revealed that the Internet censorship is considered as a major obstacle restricting individuals' freedom of getting information, sharing their opinions and communicating with others. Furthermore, internet users implement self-censorship while posting their opinions about especially political issues since they feel fear, anxiety and pressure stemming from restrictions and surveillance.
