    While preschool education contributes to children being more successful individuals with high quality of life in the continuation of their education life, it also emerges as an important factor in women's (mother’s) participation in the labor force. In this respect, preschool education is considered a social policy tool in our country and in the world. This study examines the accessibility of preschools to the neighborhoods in Konak District of İzmir Province in terms of physical and social accessibility at two geographical levels (district and neighborhood) and by using various tools of Geographic Information Systems. In the first stage, the Konak District scale, physical accessibility was evaluated with the geographical location and opportunities of preschools, age groups of the neighborhoods, educational-based features, and purchasing power, the general topographic slope of the area, and service areas of the preschools by network analysis. In the second stage of the study, the social and physical accessibility of preschools is evaluated in terms of educational and spatial opportunities offered by schools, monthly fees, cost of accessing schools by public transportation, and travel time. The study was concluded with evaluations and suggestions for the location of preschools in terms of physical and social accessibility.

    Analyzing Housing Price Determinants in Izmir Using Spatial Models
    (Elsevier, 2022) Elburz, Zeynep; Sayın, Zeynep Melike; Duran, Hasan Engin; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology; 02.03. Department of City and Regional Planning; 02. Faculty of Architecture
    The vast majority of the studies on house price dynamics focus on either structural/locational/demographic variables in a cross-sectional setting (i.e., hedonic price modeling) or on the impact of macroeconomic fundamentals in a time series framework. In this work, we argue that both approaches fall short of providing adequate information as cross-sectional analyses largely ignore the macro-dynamics, whereas time series approaches fail to incorporate the cross-sectional dimension. Current work combines both dimensions in a panel framework and provides, in this way, a methodological contribution as well as more informative analyses as it captures the impact of a wide array of variables. Thus, this study examines the housing prices in Izmir/Turkey by adopting the above-mentioned dimensions with both panel and spatial panel regressions. The study area consists of 212 neighborhoods located in different districts of Izmir. The period of analysis covers 30 months between 2017 and 2019. As an outcome of the empirical analyses, both structural/demographic, and macroeconomic variables were found evidently important. Hence, it is understood that all dimensions (structural/locational/demographic, macroeconomic) should be incorporated into comprehensive modeling. A high spatial dependence and positive spatial spillover effects were also detected.
