"Eco-industrial Parks and Sustainability: A Case of Green Organized Industrial Zone from Turkey", Beyond All Limits 2018: International Congress on Sustainability in Architecture, Planning, and Design, Ankara: Cankaya University Press, pp. 593-599, 2018.https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12416/4255The concept of sustainable development has been on the agenda since the 1980s. In industrial development, industrial ecology ideas realized the sustainable development goals with Eco-Industrial Parks (EIPs). Drivers and beneficence of EIPs are on competitiveness, economic and social and environmental terms. This paper aims to contribute to the industrial ecology literature by explaining the case of Turkey in developing its EIPs. Notably, as a possible EIP example, İzmir Atatürk Organized Industrial Zone (IAOIZ) is the focus of the paper. IAOIZ shows a case working towards to become and EIPs, but there is still too much to do. At the national level, there is a need for a policy and may be legislation to turn the existing OIZs to EIPs.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSustainable DevelopmentIndustrial EcologyEco-Industrial ParksGreen Organized Industrial ZoneAtatürk Organized Industrial ZoneConference Object593599
