Book Part Citation - Scopus: 1Cognitive Flexibility: An Educational Approach(IGI Global, 2024) Örün, Özgür; Sever, IşınerCognitive flexibility is briefly defined as the ability of individuals to adapt to a changing environment flexibly. This chapter provides a comprehensive review of research to explain the associations between cognitive flexibility and specific 21st-century skills, to understand the definition of the phenomenon from different perspectives, and to examine cognitive flexibility from a broad perspective. The chapter also comprehensively addresses the relationship of cognitive flexibility, which is associated with the prefrontal cortex, with various life outcomes, particularly reveals its relationship with learning. Furthermore, it discusses how cognitive flexibility can be fostered in learning environments through instructional design and technology, as well as the tools (i.e., inventory, scale, test) that can be used to measure and assess this ability. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Book Part Urban Information Systems in Turkish Local Governments(IGI Global, 2008) Velibeyoǧlu, 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). © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Book Part Nurturing Minds To Navigate the Educational Seas: Approaches for Fostering Critical Thinking and Problem-Solving(IGI Global, 2025) Tikiz-Erturk, G.; Kurt-Taspinar, H.This chapter examines the significance of critical thinking (CT) and problem-solving (PS) in education, specifically emphasizing the training of teachers. The chapter starts with a definition of CT, providing a thorough comprehension of its fundamental components and importance in promoting autonomous reasoning and informed choices. The discourse then shifts to the challenges of fostering CT in educational environments, including prevalent beliefs and structural impediments. A theoretical framework is also established to contextualize the concept within pertinent educational theories, elucidating methods for the integration of CT into teaching and learning processes. The chapter analyzes the significance of CT in teacher education, emphasizing the necessity for pre-service teachers to cultivate these skills personally and to foster them within their classrooms. Finally, it provides pragmatic tactics and methodologies for instructing CT, equipping educators with tools and procedures to effectively include students in analytical inquiry and problem-solving. © 2025 by IGI Global Scientific Publishing.

As a crucial part of our lives, technology is being extensively used in many spheres of life. Owing to the numerous benefits it provides and the contributions it makes both to the teaching and learning processes, technology has also become a controversial topic in education recently. Technology entails numerous advantages in the 21st century; however, it is the pedagogy that differentiates the educational processes. Hence, teachers play a critical role in effectively exploiting technology for educational purposes. Education 5.0 requires educators to become technology-literate and use instructional technologies to enhance the effectiveness of education and humanize technology, exerting ongoing effort and making continuous reflection. The objective of this chapter is to explore the most innovative pedagogies, methodologies, and strategies educators can exploit while integrating technology into instruction. © 2025 by IGI Global Scientific Publishing.

The unsustainable nature of current transport systems is discussed, highlighting the urgent need for change due to environmental impacts such as the climate crisis exacerbated by fossil fuels. The research presents a framework for 'Transport Circularity' that integrates solar energy, autonomous vehicles and other intelligent transport systems to create more sustainable, efficient and socially inclusive mobility solutions. Beforehand, drawing on philosophical perspectives, particularly Spinoza's views and Marxist critiques on conventional transportation, the study argues that a systemic overhaul is inevitable. This transition's social and economic implications are also discussed, including its potential to dismantle existing power structures that benefit from the status quo. The study concludes with a vision of a resilient, sustainable and equitable future for urban and regional transport systems, giving a concrete example of Izmir. © 2025 by IGI Global Scientific Publishing.

Due to their emissions during manufacturing and discharges as wastes, halogenated HOCs such as polychlorinated biphenyls and polybrominated diphenyl ethers are ubiquitously found in the environment and create contaminated sites. To remove the contamination from these sites, various remediation techniques have been useful. The purpose of this chapter is to investigate the impacts of traditional and emerging remediation techniques on ecosystem. One of the traditional remediation techniques is dredging and the mostly studied emerging remediation techniques are bioaugmentation and biostimulation. The efficiency of these techniques is also evaluated regarding reduction in contaminant mass. Overall, this chapter presents the efficiency and possible impacts of dredging, bioaugmentation and biostimulation of soils and sediments, and the implications include the evaluation of most feasible remediation techniques by using life cycle assessment. © 2020 by IGI Global.

The increasing environmental and waste challenges in urban areas necessitate a thorough investigation of waste management through the lenses of reverse logistics and sustainable urban logistics paradigms. This chapter delves into the realm of sustainable urban logistics within the framework of waste governance, emphasizing the perspective of environmental justice. Izmir's solid waste governance, considered an unsuccessful case in sustainable urban logistics, is critically analysed. The chapter examines the unsustainable urban logistics in waste governance, emphasizing resulting injustices and socio-environmental risks. Employing a mixed-methods approach with quantitative, qualitative, and geographical data, the study highlights the environmentally, socially, and economically unsustainable facets of urban logistics, presenting a distinctive example through the lenses of environmental justice and waste governance. © 2024, IGI Global.

Uncertainties in their population sizes, places of residence and work make transportation decisions difficult. This chapter aims to examine access to public transportation and predict potential human movement in the refugee-dense districts of Izmir, which is the 8th city with the highest Syrian population in Turkiye. In this chapter, Syrians are considered refugees due to mass-forced displacement and social conditions. Using space syntax methods, segregated or integrated areas were identified, and the accessibility was measured by network analysis. Spatial configurations were evaluated based on population size and land use. Considering the size of the refugee population, the social logic of space is understood more realistically. Comprehensive strategies are needed for reducing spatial segregation and social exclusion of refugees, including land use planning, public spaces, and transportation services. Additionally, it is important to consider urban logistics ethics in this process. © 2024, IGI Global.

Security is one of the fundamental issues in sensor networks since sensor nodes are very resource constrained. An attacker may modify, insert, and delete new hardware and software components to the system where a single node, a specific part of the sensing area, and the whole network may become inoperable. Thus, the design of early attack detection and defense mechanisms must be carefully considered. In this chapter, the authors survey attacks and their defense mechanisms in WSNs. Attacks are categorized according to the related protocol layer. They also investigate the open research issues and emerging technologies on security in WSNs.
