Article State-Led Coastal Transformation in South Aegean Türkiye: Multiscalar Interventions and Oppositional Movements in the Case of Datça Muğla(Istanbul Teknik Üniversitesi, Faculty of Architecture, 2025) Savran Penpecioğlu, S.; Penpecioğlu, M.The article aims to reveal the contentious politics behind the state-led coastal transformation in South Aegean Türkiye by concentrating on the emblematic case of Datça Muğla. The research on Türkiye’s coastal transformation is still inadequate, particularly to analyze the role of the state, its policies, interventions and counter movements. The article underlies on the main argument that the coastal transformation in Türkiye manifests remarkable urban development to explore the role of the state policies and the socio-political reactions against them. The state initiated the coastal transformation process via the enforcement of key legislations and associated governmental regulations, and the top-down implementation of development plans and flagships projects. Fostered by the powerful market forces, these state-led practices are confronted with conflicts and social struggles at multiple scales of urban policymaking. The article draws on comprehensive research, employed multiple methods including a content analysis of coastal legislations, a documentary analysis of the key coastal plans and projects and lastly, a critical examination of some remarkable lawsuits, news and new governmental regulations on the coasts of Datça peninsula. As the case of Datça illustrates, a new conservation legislation at the macro-scale, the new yacht port and tourism-induced coastal development projects at the meso-scale, and the occupation of the public beaches by many legally constructed ways at the micro-scale, have consistently reconfigured the multiscalar interventions in the coastal transformation processes. The article presents original findings for reconsidering planning policies for coastal areas and calls for a broader public discussion. © 2025, Istanbul Teknik Universitesi, Faculty of Architecture.

Due to mounting social, political, and economic problems and ongoing wars and conflicts, millions are now forced to leave their home countries and are trying to illegally immigrate to other countries in search of enhanced living conditions. That is why human trafficking urgently requires global attention. Various forms of human trafficking take place in the Global South. Türkiye, located at the crossroads of Europe and Asia and bordered by eight countries, plays a pivotal role in the recently escalating trafficking activities. As a well-established migration route and a strategic location, it is both a source and target country in human trafficking. This study aims at analyzing two award-winning Turkish movies, Seaburners and More, which depict vulnerability, exploitation, and struggle of the underrepresented minority, from the perspectives of children and women. The results, obtained through manifest and latent content analysis, will shed light upon this significant issue with the aim of contributing to the global fight against human trafficking. The study portrays vulnerabilities at the individual level and explores the potential social, political, and economic reasons and consequences of human trafficking through media works. © Journal of Underrepresented and Minority Progress.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 1A Review of the Geothermal System Evolution and Distribution in the Central Anatolian Crystalline Complex (türkiye)(TUBITAK, 2023) Şener, M.F.; Öztürk, M.Z.; Baba, A.Türkiye is located in the Mediterranean sector of the Alpine–Himalayan tectonic belt and is among the foremost seven countries in the world having an abundance of geothermal resources. The Central Anatolian Crystalline Complex (CACC) is one of the most important geothermal regions in Türkiye. This study aims to evaluate the geothermal system of CACC using the geological, structural, and hydrogeochemical properties that were obtained from previous studies. The present study investigated and evaluated the hydrogeochemical and isotopic properties of 762 water samples belonging to 45 different localities from 41 scientific studies. The result shows that CACC has different heat sources and different hydrogeochemical processes. Major element chemistry of the water reveals that the geothermal fluids are mostly of the Ca-Mg-HCO3, Na-Cl-HCO3, and Ca-Cl water types. Silica geothermometers suggest that the reservoir temperature ranges from 48 to 180 °C. Based on the δ18O-δD relationship, water samples have a high-altitude meteoric origin. Stable isotopic data indicate that the geothermal fluids are formed by local recharge and deep circulation of meteoric waters. © TÜBİTAK.
