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 Fragile Solidarity Amid Urban Exclusion: Syrian Refugees and Neighborhood Life in a Historic District of İzmir, Turkey(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2025) Aksoy, Sadullah; Turk, AliThis article explores how Syrian refugees experience neighboring and community relations in Basmane, a marginalized district in & Idot;zmir, T & uuml;rkiye. While neighborhood ties have weakened in modern urban life, exclusionary urban zones often foster stronger solidarity. Yet, how refugees form neighborly bonds within such zones remains unclear. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork, the study examines how neighborhood relations are shaped by spatial confinement, economic precarity, and social exclusion. Findings reveal fragmented solidarity, limited place attachment, and constrained mobility. The article contributes to urban migration research by highlighting the ambiguous nature of belonging in spaces of forced settlement and involuntary urban segregation.Article Rhythmanalysis of Istanbul Ayasofya's (re)mosquification During the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Diachronic Overview(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2025) Akture, Zeynep; Kazanasmaz, Zehra TugceInauguration of the Grand Mosque of Ayasofya, Istanbul, in 2020 was among the cultural heritage-related magnet events of the COVID-19 pandemic period. This essay focuses on the impacts of function change on the monument's spatial experience, by tracing a continuity of change in its everyday life and use in a continuously changing urban context, through comparatively minor physical interventions starting with the 'necessary minimum' to its 'acupuncture points', as was done during its earlier mosquification and museumification, both of which (were) initiated (by) structural transformations in the longue dur & eacute;e. Following Henri Lefebvre's argument on spatiality of politics and history, and adopting his rhythmanalysis tool, significance of the recent function change is argued to reside in the resulting spatial experience that is characterised by spatiotemporally alternating and/or overlapping political, religious, and tourist 'rituals' that are conditioned by and conditioning longer-term structural changes. Concluding observations target future research along the proposed trajectory.Article Byzantine Wall Paintings in the Archaeological Sites of Aigai, Olympos, and Anaia (Turkey): Techniques and Material Characteristics(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2025) Şerifaki, K.; Böke, H.The aim of this study is to determine the material characteristics of the paint layers and techniques of paintings executed in Late Roman and Byzantine churches located in the archaeological sites of Aigai, Olympos, and Anaia (Turkey) in order to select compatible materials prior to conservation treatments of the paintings and to establish the technical aspects of the paintings in relation to coeval Western examples. In this context, the execution technique, microchemical characteristics, stratigraphy of paintings, and mineralogical and chemical composition of the pigments were determined by polarized light microscopy (PLM), scanning electron microscopy coupled with X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDX), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The analysis results indicated that wall paintings were executed by fresco, secco or fresco-secco techniques on a thin plaster layer that is composed of pure lime, straw, fine marble, brick, and sand aggregates. The ground layers of the paintings are composed of kaolin, calcite, and carbon black. The color compositions of the paintings were obtained by applying successive layers of paint on the ground layers. The pigments used in the paintings are mainly iron oxides for the red and yellow, green earth in celadonite and glauconite forms for greens, and lapis lazuli and Egyptian blue for blues. The present study demonstrates that the techniques and materials employed in the execution of wall paintings in Byzantine churches in Western Anatolia are analogous to those utilized in the Balkans, Crete, and Cyprus, with the exception of the presence of a clay-based ground. © The International Institute for Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works 2025.Article Citation - WoS: 1Tourist Guides Versus the Technology Threat(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2025) Nazli, M.The study aims to understand the technology threat to the jobs of tourist guides and the way they perceive technology’s impact. An email interview method is preferred while collecting the data from 25 countries. The findings reveal that although many guides mentioned the essentiality of human touch in guidance, they are aware of the influence of AI, the metaverse and smart technologies. Loss of jobs is very much possible, according to the vast majority of guides. They believe that without training and adapting themselves to novel technologies like the metaverse, they will not attract new generations and guides may lose jobs due to a lack of applying new technology to their own ways of doing business. The study enlightens the tour guidance field and the metaverse perceptions of guides influencing jobs. © 2025 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.Article Frontiers as a Rural Landscape: Conserving the Remains of the Roman Empire in Anatolia(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2025) Tokoz, Ozge Deniz; Akis, TongucRoman frontiers, a part of which passes through Anatolia, are significant heritage remnants of the Roman Empire. Although essential steps have been taken to protect these frontiers and increase their visibility, efforts to protect the Roman frontier in Anatolia are insufficient. The construction of dams and the failure to consider archaeological sites and rural landscapes together create barriers to protection. This study investigates the conservation problems, implementations, and status of the Roman frontier in Anatolia. Common problems, exemplary legal regulations, and conservation practices are discussed by comparing the Anatolian and European frontier sections. Based on this discussion, we advocate for new legal regulations for rural-archaeological sites, increased research on the Roman frontier in Anatolia, greater awareness to strengthen its relationship with the public, and holistic conservation policies that prioritise the relationship of archaeological heritage with the landscape.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1New Buildings in Historic Settings: Revisiting Renzo Piano's Design Approach(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2025) Demir, Hatice Aysegul; Yuceer, HulyaContemporary design in historic settings is a controversial issue where it impacts on an existing historic context. Conservation charters and scholarly literature on architectural designs within the historic environment provide preliminary insights and guidance that necessitate further elaboration and development. The aim of this study is to generate a more detailed and clearer insight into design strategies that inform the design of new buildings in historic locations through the work of the architect Renzo Piano. From the Centre Pompidou to his most recently built & Idot;stanbul Modern, he has seven new designs in the cities of Paris, Valetta, Athens, Beirut, and & Idot;stanbul. These buildings, six of which are in the settings of UNESCO World Heritage Sites, the seventh within the historic site of Beirut, are described individually to trace the architect's design approach. Seven categories have been identified, from the use of an existing square to the scale, form, view creation, transparency preferences, opening designs, and colour choices revealing strategies have been found compatible with their historic settings. By listing them, seven core principles are proposed as policy guidelines.Article Geographies of Place-Affective Trans-Becoming: an Ethnography of Drag in Istanbul(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2025) Ogut, Tuna; Kilickiran, Didem; Akpinar, IpekThis paper presents an ethnographic study of Dudaklar & imath;n Cengi, a drag and queer performing event series in Istanbul, where a community of predominantly trans and non-binary performers create a place of collectivity for self-expression and gender exploration. Drawing on trans and feminist geographical perspectives, we examine how the participants use drag as a way of creating shared imagery, exploring themselves in relation to gender, and producing places in the city through their performances beyond the stage. We conceptualise Dudaklar & imath;n Cengi as a place-as-becoming that emerges from the intensities of social ties, flows, narratives, and sensations. We also propose a geographical understanding of gendered embodiment to account for transness in new spatial ways that enable the interrogation of phenomena that do not immediately yield their relevancy to the category of gender. The data was collected in over three years of presence within the field through situated and reflexive participant observation, informal conversations, in-depth interviews, and the participants' written narratives. We analyse the data with iterative cycles of grounded theory completed with continuous collaborative theorisation with participants. Through this collaborative theorisation, a series of concepts emerge that explain the experiences of the participants: opening drag, collectivising the stage, socialising in drag, urban navigation of gender, and an unfolding sense of drag. Together, these concepts help explain a novel understanding of place-affective trans-becoming.Article Governing Authority Through Bureaucracy: Conflicts Over Bureaucratic Cadres and the Rise of Authoritarianism in the Late Ottoman Empire (1908-1913)(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2024) İlter, MustafaThis article presents a historical analysis of how internal power struggles and conflicts among state actors can foster the development of authoritarian systems, particularly when a political network gains exclusive control over the bureaucratic apparatus through its authority over appointments and dismissals. Focusing on the intricate power struggles and factional rivalries surrounding gubernatorial appointments between 1908 and 1913, this article aims to provide an alternative approach to understanding how the Committee of Union and Progress (CUP) became the dominant governing force within the state apparatus, enabling it to pursue an authoritarian agenda.Article Citation - Scopus: 2Is Tourism Specialisation a Trap for Economic Growth? the Case of the Italian Regions(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2024) Biagi, Bianca; Duran, Hasan Engin; Pulina, ManuelaTourism 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).
