    Is Tourism Specialisation a Trap for Economic Growth? the Case of the Italian Regions
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2024) Duran, Hasan Engin; Duran, Hasan Engin; Pulina, Manuela; 02.03. Department of City and Regional Planning; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    Tourism activity is a pivotal driver of global economic growth in an era of globalisation. Yet, its ecological footprints call for urgent sustainable practices. This paper enriches intricate interconnections between tourism, economic growth, and sustainability. Novel insights bridge gaps in understanding the effects of domestic and international tourism, regional heterogeneities, and spill-over effects, focusing on Italian regions (2004-2019). Based on a new neoclassical model, this study integrates key indicators beyond Gross Domestic Product and physical capital, encompassing sustainability (renewable energy) and human capital within the KLEM (Capital, Labour, Energy, Materials) specification. These frameworks assess multifaceted dynamics and raise questions about whether high tourism specialisation can lead to a trap for economic growth, development and, ultimately, socio-economic inequalities. Significantly, the research uncovers notable regional heterogeneities, and spill-over effects, shedding light on distinct economic trajectories and challenges, triggering the pursuit of resilience strategies. By highlighting intricate tourism-economy-sustainability connections, this study advances sustainable tourism understanding, urging a delicate balance between tourism's economic benefits and ecosystem concerns. It emphasises the need for eco-conscious practices and economic diversification to ensure harmonious development, aligning with the SDG agenda (UN, 2024).

    Revisiting Modern Campuses Through Spaces for Leisure in Izmir, Turkey
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2024) Celikbilek, Gokce; Akış, Tonguç; Akis, Tonguc; 02.02. Department of Architecture; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    Division of working and leisure spaces as an early product of modern life has still its traces on urban context. Campus spaces, not only universities, reflect such a programmed structure related to modern everyday life. This paper aims to discuss the changing relationship between working and leisure on varying campus spaces, which embrace these two essential components of modern societies. Many campuses in early Turkey follow similar modernist organisational principles in their design and performs an original path in spatial transformation. Industry, education, and public service campuses, which were established in & Idot;zmir during the 1950s, constitute the spatial framework of this paper. The paper aims to trace the leisure areas of three campuses and examine this meticulously programmed life idea under the influence of the changing leisure spatial culture in Turkey from the 1950s to today. These spaces are articulated and examined by their dwellings and social interaction spaces. Besides, the social experience and individual perspectives of campus users are documented and merged with the physical analysis of the working and leisure spaces. Discussing those examples in socio-spatial details underlines the transformation and dissolution of campus idea in urban life and exposes the unique experience of campus spaces of & Idot;zmir.

    Equitable Accessibility of Public Open Spaces: a Comparison of Measurement Methods in Metropolitan Area of Izmir, Türkiye
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2024) Şenol, Fatma; Kaya, Ilgi Atay; 02.03. Department of City and Regional Planning; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    The accessibility of public open spaces (POS) is assessed by comparing the characteristics of these spaces with the population characteristics across various urban units. Known as "equity mapping" of POS, this method identifies and addresses spatial inequities and environmental justice issues related to POS accessibility. However, research in this area has advanced further in countries with data availability at small spatial scales (e.g. census tracts), enabling the measurement of accessibility within walking distances. To address the challenges of conducting research in data-limited contexts, this case study in Izmir (T & uuml;rkiye) investigates which spatial analyses can facilitate the development of a comprehensive equity mapping of POS accessibility. T & uuml;rkiye has demographic data available at the neighbourhood level, including age, gender, and education, but lacks data on income, race/ethnicity, and other characteristics commonly used in mainstream research. This paper assumes that children, the elderly, and low-education groups (a proxy for income level) have a greater need for POS. It explores three forms of overlay analyses: feature-based, raster-based, and fishnet-based. Additionally, it examines the metropolitan area and its sub-regions as terrains with different POS accessibility. The results highlight the Centre as having the weakest POS accessibility in neighbourhoods with high child ratios and low education levels. The fishnet-based density analysis offers a finer lens for identifying the locations of priority areas for POS provisioning, even within neighbourhoods. HIGHLIGHTSFor improving public open space (POS) accessibility, GIS-based measurements of physical and social data can determine priority areas in the cityPOS accessibility measurements in mainstream research use certain data and spatial units unavailable in data-limited countriesIn data-limited countries, the grid-based density analysis can provide more accuracy about priority areas for POS planningTaking the city with sub-regions of different POS accessibility helps with determining priority areasIzmir's central city and neighbourhoods with high child ratios and low education levels have the weakest POS accessibility
