Research Project İmar afları sonrasında İzmir'de gecekondulaşma: Sosyo-ekonomik, mekansal bir çözümleme(TÜBİTAK - Türkiye Bilimsel ve Teknolojik Araştırma Kurumu, 2005) Özdemir, Semahat; Arslan Avar, Adile; Şenol, Pervin; Sevinç Kaya, Nuray; Kutluca, Ahmet Kıvanç; Velibeyoğlu, Hasibe; Güçer, Evrim; Kompil, Mert; Yankaya, Uğur; Elvan, İrem; Bektaş, Birkan; İnce Kompil, Esin[No Abstract Available]Conference Object Detection of Urban Change Using Remote Sensing and Gis: Izmir Case(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2008) Tarhan, Çiğdem; Arkon, Cemal; Çelik, M.; Gümüştekin, Şevket; Tecim, V.This study is an example of how land use changes could be detected via high resolution remotely sensed data. In order to perform "change detection" IKONOS satellite images, belonging to 2001 and 2004, have been used. An automated Graphical User Interface (GUI) has been created for detection of environment. Different image enhancement techniques and a fuzzy inference system have been combined in the GUI. The detection results are classified according to some basic levels such as 20-50% and 70%. Additionally, four different change detection algorithms have been applied which are pixel-based, object based, feature based. These algorithms have been examined according to change detection levels with different image enhancement techniques. At the end of the study, the results have been compared.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 1A Framework for Integrating Disadvantaged Analysis Into Transportation Planning Models(Gold Coast, 2006) Yiğitcanlar, Tan; Duvarcı, YavuzThe ability to access personal or public transportation is fundamental for people to connect with employment opportunities, health and medical services, educational services, and the community at large. However certain populations lack the ability to provide their own transportation or have difficulty accessing whatever conventional public transportation may be available (Department of Transportation 2003). The ‘transportation disadvantaged’ populations are those persons who are unable to transport themselves or are unable to purchase transportation due to physical or mental disability, income status, or age. Therefore, the transportation disadvantaged are dependent upon others to obtain access to health care, employment, education, shopping, and other life sustaining activities. Additionally, since disadvantage is a personal experience, it can be simply characterised as what people perceive to be transportation disadvantage (Raje 2003).Book Part Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 4Spatial Transformations in Istanbul Cbd: the Role of Ict?(Information Science Reference, 2008) Geçer Sargın, Feral; Avar, Adile; Velibeyoğlu, Koray; Saygın, Mustafa ÖmürNow with the intensive use of information and communication technologies, many cities around the world are competing to become a global city. Istanbul is enumerated within the first 50 cities in the globalization process, other than the triad of New York, London, and Tokyo. This chapter explores urban space transformation of Maslak, the contemporary central business district of Istanbul, with respect to information and communication technologies, by using deconcentration and economic restructuring approaches of urban theory. Compared to other global cities, Istanbul has distinctive characteristics, since it has been passing through a unique transformation process. More specifically, its economic, political, and social characteristics distinguish Istanbul from other cities within the same category (Gamma) of world cities. This study has revealed that transformations in Istanbul were not primarily driven by information and communication technologies. In contrast information and communication technology's role in the transformation of the Istanbul central business district is only a contributing factor.Book Part Citation - Scopus: 7Understanding the Supply Side: Ict Experience of Marmara Region, Turkey(Information Science Reference, 2008) Velibeyoğlu, Koray; Yiğitcanlar, TanMarmara region's local governments in Turkey are setting the benchmark for the country in the implementation of spatial information systems and e-governance. The chapter aims to shed light on organizational realities of recent practices of information systems and technologies based on the evidences from selected local government organizations in the Marmara region. This chapter scrutinizes these practices and discusses the pivotal relationship between the information and communication technologies and its local organizational context within the region. The chapter also exemplifies challenges and opportunities of the Marmara as an emerging information and communication technology-supported region by illustrating the specific information and communication technology supply instruments. The chapter reveals that the particular success in supply side does not guarantee the sustainable information and communication technology implementation. There are other concerns including demand side that are strongly linked to a realistic understanding of end user demand, the institutional capacity of respected organizations, public-private partnership, and the joined-up policy efforts at both national and local levels.Book Citation - Scopus: 68Creative Urban Regions: Harnessing Urban Technologies To Support Knowledge City Initiatives(IGI Global, 2008) Yigitcanlar, T.; Velibeyoglu, K.; Baum, S.In a knowledge economy urban form and functions are primarily shaped by global market forces rather than urban planning. As the role of knowledge in wealth creation becomes a critical issue in cities, urban administrations and planners need to discover new approaches to harness the considerable opportunities of abstract production for a global order. Creative Urban Regions: Harnessing Urban Technologies to Support Knowledge City Initiatives explores the utilization of urban technology to support knowledge city initiatives, providing scholars and practitioners with essential fundamental techniques and processes for the successful integration of information technologies and urban production. Converging timely research on a multitude of cutting-edge urban information communication technology issues, this Premier Reference Source will make a valuable addition to every reference library. © 2008 by IGI Global.

This integration brought a new technology called WebGIS, which enables geographic information systems functionalities through the Internet for decision support. No doubt there is a growing demand as more and more individuals want to use online government services to express their views and most importantly to take part in decisionmaking processes interactively. At this point, WebGIS offers a challenging opportunity for online participatory planning since the public could easily access alternative plans and the existing information in geographic information systems databases. This technology enables individuals to be able to take part in plan-making processes and contribute. This chapter explores how these new technological advances could achieve truly transparent plan-making process based on online participatory planning support tools that knowledge-based urban development could benefit from.Book Part Citation - Scopus: 29Queensland's Smart State Initiative: a Successful Knowledge Based Urban Development Strategy?(Information Science Reference, 2008) Yiğitcanlar, Tan; Velibeyoğlu, KorayDuring the last two decades, knowledge-based development has become an important mechanism for knowledge economies. In a knowledge economy, information and communication technology is extensively seen as a potentially beneficial set of instruments, which may improve the welfare and competitiveness of nations and cities. At present, both public and private actors aim to exploit the expected benefits of information and communication technology developments. These technologies offer unprecedented promise for social and economic development on all global, national, regional, urban, and local levels. Therefore, this chapter seeks to investigate the potential of information and communication technology policy at both regional and urban levels, and, in particular, to shed light on various factors that influence urban information technology policies in the public domain. The chapter sets out to explain the knowledge-based urban development processes and challenges and opportunities in information acceptance and use in urban policy-making in Queensland, Australia. This chapter draws on providing a clear understanding on policy frameworks and relevant technology applications of the Queensland Smart State experience.Book Part Citation - Scopus: 7Suwannee River Partnership: Representation Instead of Regulation(Resources for the Future, 2005) Dedekorkut Howes, Aysin[No abstract available]Book Part Citation - Scopus: 6Urban Information Systems in Turkish Local Governments(IGI Global Publishing, 2005) Velibeyoğlu, KoraySince the end of 1980s, different sectors have implemented geographical information systems (GIS) in Turkey. A study on GIS market in Turkey indicates that municipalities are the primary customers (Gülersoy & Yigiter, 1999). One of the earliest GIS projects in Turkey began with the production of digital maps covering the boundaries of Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality in 1987. Since 1994, a rapid development process has occurred with the widespread diffusion of GIS especially in universities and large public sector organizations respectively. However, the early city-wide municipal GIS projects were initiated only after 1996 (Ucuzal, 1999).
