Abstract
Methodology for Modeling the Management of Organizational Projects in the Field of Environmental Sustainability in Iran and Turkey
Incoming article date: 17.12.2025This paper presents a comprehensive synthesis of the main results of a doctoral study aimed at developing an engineering-based methodology for modeling and evaluating complex infrastructure systems using digital monitoring data. The study is conducted using selected cities in Iran and Turkey as representative case studies and integrates engineering modeling approaches within a unified analytical framework.
The proposed methodology combines structural equation modeling, multi-criteria decision analysis, and life cycle assessment with operational data obtained from digital monitoring systems based on Internet of Things technologies. As an applied engineering tool, a water leakage detection system is used to collect quantitative performance indicators of water supply networks, including non-revenue water losses, leakage detection time, energy consumption, and associated CO₂ emissions.
The results demonstrate that the integration of real-time monitoring data with advanced engineering modeling methods enables a more accurate and operationally meaningful assessment of infrastructure performance. Comparative analysis reveals both common patterns and system-specific differences in the effectiveness of leakage detection and network operation across the studied cities. The proposed approach can be applied as a scalable engineering framework for data-driven analysis and optimization of water supply systemsKeywords: engineering modeling, digital monitoring, water supply systems, water leakage, hydraulic parameters
