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.Book Part Citation - WoS: 2Modelling and Projecting Urban Land Cover(Routledge, 2017) Lavalle, Carlo; Batista e Silva, Filipe; Baranzelli, Claudia; Jacobs-Crisioni, Chris; Barbosa, Ana Luisa; Aurambout, Jean-Philippe; Vizcaino, Pilar; Kompil, Mert[No abstract available]Article Citation - WoS: 12Regional Acupuncture for İzmir Peninsula: Creating Capital Web for Creative Eco-Tourism(Scibulcom Ltd., 2016) Velibeyoğlu, KorayRural 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.Book Part Citation - Scopus: 1Youth Unemployment: Macroeconomic Causes, Consequences and Determinants(Peter Lang AG, 2017) Duran, Hasan Engin[No abstract available]Book Part Citation - Scopus: 4Confronted and Disappointed? Struggle of Turkish Planners Against Authoritarian State-Regulated Urban Development(Taylor & Francis, 2017) Taşan Kok, Tuna; Penpecioğlu, MehmetThis chapter highlights the confrontations and disappointments, turning the spotlight on those who continue to struggle against authoritarian state-regulated urban development. Lacking the instruments to fight authoritarian state-regulated neoliberalism, young planners are becoming disillusioned with their profession. The deepening effects of neoliberalisation have blurred the boundaries between public and private interests, prioritising the role of flexible, short-term, collaborative, and strategic approaches to planning, rather than comprehensive, long-term, and holistic visions. The findings of research provide sufficient data for an understanding and interpretation of the changing positions and roles, strategies and actions, behaviours and attitudes of planners in the face of authoritarian state-regulated neoliberal urban development in Turkey. Deniz Kimyon, 29 years old, is a graduate of the City and Regional Planning Department of Middle East Technical University. The results of the questionnaire also reveal that the views of planners on their profession change over the years.Article Citation - Scopus: 3Regional Unemployment Dynamics in Turkey(Hellenic Association of Regional Scientists, 2019) Duran, Hasan EnginAim of the study is to investigate region specific causes of unemployment for Turkish 26 Nuts-2 regions between 2004-2017. We aim at contributing to the literature by analyzing (i) whether regional unemployment and sub-groups (with respect to gender, age, education) is driven by excessive labor supply or shortage of labor demand, (ii) which sub-groups have higher unemployment in regions. In terms of methodology, we employ descriptive and exploratory analyses, spatial tests and panel regressions. Our findings indicate three main results: First, there is a sizable difference in unemployment rates across regions and the dispersion is getting stronger over time. Second, there are extremely low and high unemployment rates in various sub-groups and regions. Third, changes in unemployment is mostly driven by changes in labor supply rather than demand. Among the 208 cases (26 regions x 8 sub-groups), in 154 cases, the major driver of unemployment is the excessive labor supply. © 2019 Hellenic Association of Regional Scientists.

Water-based regional context and its transformative power at regional and urban scales have been themed on landscape studios of some scholarly works such as G. M. Kondolf et al. and S. Nijhuis and D. Jauslin. The interdisciplinary ‘regional landscape project studio’ follows a didactic approach that combines regional planning and specific mode of regional and urban transformation thinking. The whole idea of the graduate studio is, therefore, to apply landscape infrastructure and the fourth nature into ‘the regional landscape-urban transformation’ equilibrium, as a novel way to healing our living environments. Landscape infrastructure is being explored in urban studies as a concept/reality that expands the traditional set of spatial planning and design strategies towards the multifunctional system. The association of hydrological pattern with natural and urban landscapes calls for site-specific design interventions in some critical cross-section.
