    Kırsal-ekolojik Müştereklerimiz: Mera Alanları
    (2018) Hazar, Dalya; Velibeyoğlu, Koray
    Araştırma, biyoçeşitlilik ve ekolojik sürdürülebilirlik açısından önemli olan kırsal-ekolojik müştereklerimiz olarak tariflediğimiz mera alanları üzerindeki çatışmalara ve mera alanları üzerindeki çitleme hareketlerinin dönüştürücü etkilerine odaklanmaktadır. Mera alanları, yüksek karbon bağlama kapasitesi, zengin biyoçeşitlilik, erozyonu önleme, kırsal kalkınma ve kırsal gelenek açılarından önemli varlıklardır. Araştırma tasarımı yöntemi keşifçi vaka çalışmasıdır. Uzmanlarla yapılan kartopu mülakatlar, muhtarlarla yapılan derinlemesine mülakatlar, gözlemler ve medya analizinden edinilen veriler, içerik analiziyle değerlendirilmiş ve bir mera boyut seti oluşturulmuştur. Araştırma sonucunda, mera alanları üzerindeki çatışmalarına sebep olduğu belirlenen faktörler, baskılar, durum ve etkiler, eDPSIR nedensel ağ modeline uyarlanmıştır. Ekolojik duyarlı planlama, otlatma yönetimi ve faktör-baskı temelli yanıtlar ile iyileştirilmiş kırsal politikalar, kırsal müştereklerin korunması açısından önemlidir.

    Regional Acupuncture for İzmir Peninsula: Creating Capital Web for Creative Eco-Tourism
    (Scibulcom Ltd., 2016) Velibeyoğlu, Koray
    Rural socio-economic development has gained utmost importance in Turkish Metropolitan Municipalities within the frame of recent legal changes extending the boundary of such municipalities towards their larger rural hinterland. Beforehand, Izmir Metropolitan Municipality had been started 'Izmir Peninsula Sustainable Development Strategy' in 2013 as a model of their local development agenda based on the principles of 'Urla-Cesme-Karaburun Peninsula Local Development Idea Competition' held in 2008. Izmir Peninsula region is the nature reserve for Izmir with its specific flora and fauna always considered as perfect location for eco-tourism activities. This paper aims to illustrate the development and implementation mechanisms of creative eco-tourism strategies for the region with concrete examples including thematic tourism routes based on green transportation, local production and consumption networks (i.e. local bazaars, family pensions) and special events aim to create local buzz and global pipelines. The major contribution of this study is to illustrate a model of networked integration strategy by using 'creative' eco-tourism opportunities of Izmir Peninsula Region. It exemplifies the key implementation mechanisms of regional acupuncture and capital web approach derived from the idea of network of local micro-projects working in synergy.

    Sustainable Management of Rural-Ecological Commons: Recommendations on Edpsir Causal Networks
    (Scibulcom Ltd., 2019) Hazar, Dalya; Velibeyoğlu, Koray
    This study aims to reveal the importance of the pastures as the rural-ecological commons in terms of biodiversity and ecological sustainability by focusing on the transformative impacts of the enclosure and commodification processes. Pastures are crucial especially within four dimensions: (1) rich biodiversity of flora and fauna; (2) rural development; (3) erosion prevention; and (4) rural tradition. Conflicts on the pastures and their triggering mechanisms are the main research interests of the study. Sustainable management of the rural-ecological commons has a potential to prevent the conflicts on the pastures. Three case study districts in Izmir (Turkey) are chosen to determine the conflicts on the pastures in relation with the recent legal regulations, determination, delimitation and allocation processes, malpractices and the civil responses. Data gathered from the interviews with professionals and village headmen, literature review, media analysis, and personal observations are evaluated by the content analysis to determine the main conflicts and the pasture dimensions for the eDPSIR (Driving force, Pressure, State, Impact, Response) model, which is an enhanced organisation tool to understand the multi-level relationships in environmental and social issues. The developed pasture dimension set evaluates the rural-ecological commons in relation with the actor relations and geographical aspects during the decision-making, common management and the planning processes.

    Place Management of a Creative City: the Case of Izmir
    (Inderscience Enterprises Ltd., 2017) Mengi, Onur; Durmaz Drinkwater, Sıdıka Bahar; Öner, Aslı Ceylan; Velibeyoğlu, Koray
    This study investigates how place management is used to render a creative city through the combination of soft factors as intangible characteristics and hard factors as tangible characteristics of the built environment. The study focuses on Izmir, Turkey; exploring its potential as an emerging creative city. The methodology is a descriptive analysis of recent urban design and planning activities of creative cities, reviews projects and strategies in Izmir. Findings provide a framework for place management tools and their strategic use for integration of art, design, creativity and knowledge in creative cities. Place management is used as a tool for image building and identity enhancement, and for quality of place to attract creative and knowledge workers. In the case of Izmir, hard factors triggered the formation process whereas soft factors have taken strengthen the initiative. However, both of them are yet not strong enough to creative public awareness and critical mass.

    An Evaluation Methodology for the Tangible and Intangible Assets of City-Regions: the 6k1c Framework
    (Inderscience Enterprises Ltd., 2010) Velibeyoğlu, Koray; Yiğitcanlar, Tan
    Together with hard and soft networks, tangible and intangible regional assets play an important role in the knowledge-based development of competing city-regions. The aim of this paper, therefore, is to investigate the best ways of managing invaluable tangible and intangible assets of city-regions. The paper explores the importance of asset management of city-regions by giving special emphasis on their knowledge asset base. This paper develops and introduces a theoretical framework to conceptualise a new approach to articulate the strategic planning mechanism, so called the 6K1C framework. The 6K1C framework is part of the strategic planning process of continuous improvement of overall public sector performance. The framework provides a proactive check-list approach integrated for managing and harnessing tangible and intangible assets of the post-industrial city-regions.
