Article Triple Helix Spaces: A Tale of Three Helices(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2025) Kose, Suheda; Elburz, Zeynep; Velibeyoglu, Koray; Oner, Asli CeylanIn recent years, the Triple Helix model has gained prominence within academic circles. This study, situated in the field of city planning, aims to clarify the model's theoretical foundations, evaluate its measurement techniques, and explore the relationship between the Triple Helix and urban space. By examining 231 Triple Helix-related publications from the past 40 years (up to 12 July 2024, sourced from the Web of Science Core Collection), we propose a framework of three distinct generations for understanding Triple Helix spaces in urban contexts. The first-generation Triple Helix space is characterized by direct interactions among the three primary actors: university, industry, and government. The second-generation expands on this by including multiple interactions among the three main actors and their facilitators. The third-generation involves the circular interaction of multiple second-generation Triple Helix spaces. Across these generations, the study provides a lens for analyzing innovative urban spaces through Triple Helix interactions and offers practical approaches for examining the Triple Helix spaces. The findings also contribute to the theoretical foundation for the sustainable development of such spaces.Article Citation - WoS: 23Citation - Scopus: 24Spatial Effects of Transport Infrastructure on Regional Growth: the Case of Turkey(Springer Verlag, 2021) Elburz, Zeynep; Çubukçu, K. MertThe provision of infrastructure is an important policy tool for promoting regional growth and reducing regional disparities. The main reason underlying this approach is the view that transportation promotes mobility, mobility promotes trade, and trade promotes economic growth. Based on this view, Turkey has invested in transportation infrastructure to reduce the regional economic inequalities since the 1960s. Between 2004 and 2014, governments have expended approximately 65 billion dollars for road infrastructure only. We believe that investigating the recent improvements in road infrastructure with a spatial perspective in an emerging economy as Turkey is necessary to generate more effective and practical regional policies. This study attempts to measure the latest developments of transportation infrastructure by analyzing the spatial effects of road transport infrastructure on regional economy in Turkish NUTS 2 regions between 2004 and 2014. We employ an augmented Cobb-Douglas production function model and use spatial Durbin model to estimate spatial effects. Apart from previous studies that employ spatial econometric models, we create a different spatial weight matrix for each year based on inverse distance to capture the change between the years 2004 and 2014. The results reveal that road infrastructure investment has significant and positive spatial spillover effects on regional growth. Any improvement in road transport infrastructure in a region causes a GDP increase in neighboring regions. Essentially the findings expose the importance of indirect effects of road transport infrastructure and contradict with previous non-spatial and overestimated effect results in the literature.
