General information

Short Summary
A university and municipality from Türkiye are preparing a project proposal for Interreg VI-B NEXT Black Sea Basin Call and looking for partners: a municipality (preferably from the EU) and dissemination partner (NGO) from eligible countries.
Full Description
Project Overview:
This proposal seeks funding from the Interreg VI-B NEXT Black Sea Basin Programme to transform Kemerburgaz Urban Park, İstanbul and other similar natural urban parks in the Black Sea Basin into a model of sustainability and smart technology integration. The project aims to achieve a net zero energy status for the local premises, implement a forest fire detection system, and establish a smart irrigation system. These initiatives will minimize the environmental impact, enhance safety, and optimize resource use within the park, serving as a beacon of sustainable development.

Project Objectives:
1. Achieve Net Zero Energy Status: Conversion of the premises (Beltur café in Kemerburgaz Urban Park) to a net zero building.
2. Enhance Fire Safety: Implementing a comprehensive forest fire detection system.
3. Optimize Water Use: Establishing a smart irrigation system to conserve water and maintain park vegetation.
4. Educate and Inspire: Providing educational opportunities on sustainability and smart
technologies for park visitors.

Project Components:
1. Net Zero Building Conversion of the urban park premises:
- Site Assessment, System Design and Installation, Bidirectional Meter Integration.
- Energy Management System in Smart Buildings: System Implementation, Smart Controls.

2. Forest Fire Detection System:
- Sensor Deployment: Install sensors for CO, CO2, temperature, humidity, wind intensity, and flame detection.
- App Integration: Develop or integrate with an existing app for real-time alerts and monitoring.
- Video Analytics: Implement a video analytics system to detect smoke and fire, enhancing early detection capabilities.

3. Smart Irrigation System:
- Sensor Installation: Place soil moisture sensors and weather stations around the park.
- System Design and Implementation: Develop an irrigation system that autonomously opens and closes valves based on real-time soil moisture and weather data.
- Remote Control: Enable remote monitoring and control of the irrigation system via a centralized
platform.
Advantages and Innovations
Expected Outcomes:
1. Energy Independence: The Park premises will generate sufficient renewable energy to
meet its annual energy needs.
2. Improved Fire Safety: Enhanced early detection and response capabilities for forest fires,
reducing the risk of significant damage.
3. Water Conservation: Optimized water usage through smart irrigation ensuring efficient
water management and healthy park vegetation.
4. Educational Impact: Increased public awareness and understanding of sustainable
practices and smart technologies through interactive displays, workshops, and tours.
5. Economic Benefits: Long-term savings on energy and water costs and potential revenue
from excess energy production.
Sustainable Development Goals
