Article A Multidimensional Comparative Analysis of Human Expert vs. AI-Driven Feedback Approaches on Learner-Centered and Collaborative Groups(Routledge, 2026) Yıldız Durak, H.; Onan, A.The aim of this study is to examine the multidimensional effects of AI-based feedback in learner-centered and collaborative learning environments among university students. The study employed a five-group experimental design: two individual learning groups receiving either AI-based feedback(G1) or human expert feedback(G2), two collaborative learning groups receiving either AI(G3) or human expert feedback(G4), and control group(G5). According to the research results, G4 showed the highest level of development in the areas of creative problem solving, internal-external motivation, and critical thinking. G1 was the group with the highest performance, particularly in terms of system interaction, completed activities, and assignments. In contrast, G2 showed the lowest results in terms of both cognitive development and learning analytics. AI-based feedback in collaborative learning environments provided the highest development in cognitive skills, while AI-based in individual work was more effective in increasing system participation. Factorial MANCOVA indicated significant interactions between learning environment and feedback type on posttest outcomes, with strongest effects on self-efficacy, intrinsic motivation, and flexibility. These results show that AI-based feedback has different effects in both individual and collaborative learning contexts. Qualitative thematic analysis highlighted themes of cognitive facilitation, creativity enhancement, feedback quality perceptions, and environment preferences. © 2026 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.Article The Evolving Role of Urban Designers in Generative AI-Assisted Urban Design: Mini-Block Izmir, Turkey(Routledge, 2025) Özden, P.; Tekerci, E.; Velibeyoǧlu, K.Urban design is undergoing a paradigm shift with the integration of Generative Artificial Intelligence (Gen AI), introducing new modes of collaboration between designers and AI tools and expanding opportunities for data-driven and creative decision-making. However, current AI-based urban design tools remain fragmented and lack integrated workflows, often treating design stages as analysis, generation, and visualization as separate processes rather than as an interactive continuum. The study critically examines the evolving role of urban designers in AI-assisted urban design through a scoping review and a case study of the Mini-Block project in the Alsancak neighbourhood of Izmir, Turkey, focusing on how different AI tools interact and integrate within design workflows. Through a systematic evaluation of AI-driven design tools, the research identifies key limitations in how existing platforms support interoperability, iterative feedback, and collaboration between human designers and generative systems. The findings highlight that while AI enhances data processing, scenario modelling, and spatial optimisation, its full potential depends on designers’ ability to manage tool interaction, interpret algorithmic outputs, and integrate contextual insights into generative design processes. The study proposes a framework for participatory AI tools that embed local knowledge in urban design workflows. It also explores the role of prompt engineering as a means of refining AI outputs to ensure contextually relevant and inclusive urban solutions. Overall, the research highlights the need for AI models that are not only technically robust but also socially and culturally responsive, paving the way for more adaptive, inclusive, and participatory urban design methods. © 2025 The Institute of Urban Sciences.Article Residues of the British Informal Empire: the Smyrna-Aydın Railway's Punta Square as the Future Centre of "Colonial" Smyrna(Routledge, 2025) Sheridan Gun, I.T.; Erten, E.Railways played a pivotal role in the Industrial Revolution, inspired by the expansion of colonial ambitions. They were often accompanied by infrastructural landmarks as postal offices, churches, and hospitals, representing imperial authority and connectivity. While the presence of these enclaves within colonies has been extensively studied, their significance in non-colonised regions, particularly within the Ottoman Empire, has received insufficient attention. The transformation of Smyrna (modern-day Izmir, Turkey) in the late nineteenth century reflects a reorganisation that aligned with Britain’s gentlemanly capitalism and imperialism. This paper aims to shed light on this subject through a detailed analysis of the Punta Railway Station and its surrounding area. Often relegated to a footnote in historical narratives as a “Little British Town,” the study area warrants re-evaluation in the context of informal imperialism. It illustrates how British colonial influence shaped Punta’s spatial and functional dynamics, embodying the concept of colonised spaces without formal colonisation. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Article Is It Still Important Centrality?: Locational Preferences of the Software Industry in Istanbul(Routledge, 2024) Köse, Ş.; Lale Berköz, A.The software industry is one of the main driver sectors in the development of contemporary cities. The aim of this article is to analyze the location behaviors of the software industry in Istanbul with a hybrid model by determining the locations and the main factors that are effective in the location preference. Within the scope of the study, focus group interviews were conducted with 6 members of the Software Industrialists Association and a survey was conducted with 177 firm officials and the results were examined through Average Nearest Neighbor, Quartic Kernel Density, Spatial Autoregressive Model and Spatial Error Model. The findings showed that centrality is still important for the firms and most of them benefit from urban agglomeration. While the firms are clustered in the CBD and sub-centers, we have concluded that the spatial behavior patterns of the firms have also changed according to their capital size. Urban agglomeration explains the local-scale software industry in the literature but does not provide sufficient arguments to analyze it on a global scale. However, it is foreseen that the findings may vary in a particular way if the firms are examined by separating according to production manner. © 2025 ETH–Eidenössiche Technische Hochschule Zürich.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Super Citizens: the Power of Social Innovation in İzmir/Turkey(Routledge, 2025) Köse, Ş.; Velibeyoğlu, K.This study aims to define the characteristics of social innovators, measure the impact of social innovation, and investigate its effects on urban transformation in İzmir. The study is based on semi-structured interviews with 14 social innovators and conducted by adopting a conceptual framework. We identify the characteristics of ‘super citizens’ in the literature that can contribute to SI’s empowerment in cities. The first finding shows that these individuals are expected to have 8 characteristics: being an activist, a social entrepreneur, a mediator, having a wide network, organizing goal-oriented works, involving all actors in the process, producing new solutions focused on the subject and finally being able to keep up with the change. The second finding shows that they are the most important actors in sustaining urban development, and their projects have impacts on urban transformation from a city level to an international level. If the interaction mechanism between relevant actors is provided by the local government through the Penta-helix model, super citizens may become one of the primary stakeholders to promote SI and create a more sustainable urban development. © 2024 The European Association for the Advancement of the Social Sciences.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 4Region-Specific Turning Points in Territorial Economic Resilience: A Business Cycle Approach To Turkey(Routledge, 2024) Duran, H.E.; Elburz, Z.; Kourtit, K.; Nijkamp, P.Almost all regional economic resilience studies measure resilience by referring to national time patterns of recessions. This study of region-specific patterns of resilience of 81 Turkish regions in the period 2009–20 and their underlying economic/demographic determinants in regions in Turkey shows that ignoring the different timings of regional and national economy recessions leads to misleading/biased results. The study shows first that provincial employment cycles are asynchronous. Second, the geographical pattern of resistance to the last 2018 economic crisis changes considerably when using province-specific rather than national turning points. Third, those provinces that are more open to trade, export- oriented, highly urbanised, and with a low level of human capital and entrepreneurial activities were more resistant to the recession. © 2023 Regional Studies Association.Article Citation - Scopus: 1Revisiting the Turkish-Israeli Alliance of the 1990s(Routledge, 2023) Elhan, N.; Şirin, B.The Turkish-Israeli ‘honeymoon’ of the 1990s has been explained by different concepts such as alliance, strategic partnership, or cooperation and friendship, with these concepts often used interchangeably. As a corollary of the Turkish official narrative, which is based on a national security approach, certain explanations were offered in justification of the close relationship, including shared traditional democratic culture and secular character, as well as conducive international atmosphere. According to this construction, Turkey had no option but to align with Israel. On the other hand, while the ‘honeymoon’ was often seen as a foreign policy issue directly affected by the military bureaucracy, negative discourses against Israel in domestic politics, and institutional challenges in the Turkish state structure were often ignored. By way of filling this lacuna, the present article evaluates the impact of domestic factors, including the capital-owning class, lobbies, and institutional changes in the Turkish security apparatus on Turkish-Israeli relations. © 2023 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 4Region-Specific Turning Points in Territorial Economic Resilience: a Business Cycle Approach To Turkey(Routledge, 2023) Duran, Hasan Engin; Elburz, Zeynep; Kourtit, Karima; Nijkamp, PeterAlmost all regional economic resilience studies measure resilience by referring to national time patterns of recessions.

As a contribution to the research about park accessibility, it integrates the space syntax analysis with the observation-based fieldwork data about the attributes of neighbourhoods, parks, and park users in 42 parks of 2 adjacent neighbourhoods in Izmir City (Turkey). With its syntactic measures (connectivity, integration, and choice), the study analysis describes the street configuration around these neighbourhood parks. Also, 3 multiple regression analyses are deployed to examine how the syntactic data along with the other neighbourhood and park attributes affect the number of users observed in 42 parks. The study contributes to the research about space syntax tools for analysing the organisational logic of parks in the neighbourhoods while also integrating other socio-spatial attributes of parks.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 5Marine Trade and Analysis of the Ports in the Black Sea Economic Cooperation Region(Routledge, 2022) Değerli Çiftçi, Burcu; Baycan, TüzinThis paper aims to (i) investigate the crucial role of marine trade, (ii) reveal the main characteristics and the integrating role of ports, (iii) analyse the networks of ports serving at the international level, produce route maps, and examine transportation corridors affecting the BSEC region that constitutes a significant part of Southeast Europe. In this context, we have carried out the social network analysis (SNA), which allows an understanding of the network structure, social dynamics, trends, and the actors' effects in the network. According to SNA, Romania - Constanta Port, Bulgaria - Burgas Port, Ukraine - Chornomorsk Port, Russian Federation - Novorossiysk Port, Georgia - Batumi Port, and Turkey - Samsunport are the most prominent ports of the region. Due to the features they have and their involvement in international transportation projects, the ports are a tool for directing/accelerating foreign trade and marine traffic and developing economic cooperation between countries in the Black Sea Region.
