Article State-Led Coastal Transformation in South Aegean Türkiye: Multiscalar Interventions and Oppositional Movements in the Case of Datça Muğla(Istanbul Teknik Üniversitesi, Faculty of Architecture, 2025) Savran Penpecioğlu, S.; Penpecioğlu, M.The article aims to reveal the contentious politics behind the state-led coastal transformation in South Aegean Türkiye by concentrating on the emblematic case of Datça Muğla. The research on Türkiye’s coastal transformation is still inadequate, particularly to analyze the role of the state, its policies, interventions and counter movements. The article underlies on the main argument that the coastal transformation in Türkiye manifests remarkable urban development to explore the role of the state policies and the socio-political reactions against them. The state initiated the coastal transformation process via the enforcement of key legislations and associated governmental regulations, and the top-down implementation of development plans and flagships projects. Fostered by the powerful market forces, these state-led practices are confronted with conflicts and social struggles at multiple scales of urban policymaking. The article draws on comprehensive research, employed multiple methods including a content analysis of coastal legislations, a documentary analysis of the key coastal plans and projects and lastly, a critical examination of some remarkable lawsuits, news and new governmental regulations on the coasts of Datça peninsula. As the case of Datça illustrates, a new conservation legislation at the macro-scale, the new yacht port and tourism-induced coastal development projects at the meso-scale, and the occupation of the public beaches by many legally constructed ways at the micro-scale, have consistently reconfigured the multiscalar interventions in the coastal transformation processes. The article presents original findings for reconsidering planning policies for coastal areas and calls for a broader public discussion. © 2025, Istanbul Teknik Universitesi, Faculty of Architecture.

Due to mounting social, political, and economic problems and ongoing wars and conflicts, millions are now forced to leave their home countries and are trying to illegally immigrate to other countries in search of enhanced living conditions. That is why human trafficking urgently requires global attention. Various forms of human trafficking take place in the Global South. Türkiye, located at the crossroads of Europe and Asia and bordered by eight countries, plays a pivotal role in the recently escalating trafficking activities. As a well-established migration route and a strategic location, it is both a source and target country in human trafficking. This study aims at analyzing two award-winning Turkish movies, Seaburners and More, which depict vulnerability, exploitation, and struggle of the underrepresented minority, from the perspectives of children and women. The results, obtained through manifest and latent content analysis, will shed light upon this significant issue with the aim of contributing to the global fight against human trafficking. The study portrays vulnerabilities at the individual level and explores the potential social, political, and economic reasons and consequences of human trafficking through media works. © Journal of Underrepresented and Minority Progress.Article From Work to Leisure: ”Transforming Kitchen Spaces, Technologies, and Practices in Türkiye, 1930s-2020s.”(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2025) Emgin, B.; Bektaş Ata, L.; Karaosmanoğlu, D.Kitchens are more than functional spaces; they reflect and shape cultural values, technologies, and ideals of modern life. Framing the kitchen as an orchestrating concept that brings together images, materials, and competencies, this article examines how idealized settings and tools have produced shifting narratives of modernity and redefined meanings, functions, and everyday practices in Türkiye from the 1930s to the present. It highlights the transformation of the kitchen from a moralizing space to one of entertainment and creativity across three eras: the ordered workshop of the 1930s, the cozy living room of the 1970s, and the technological hub of the 2000s. Drawing on archival research from a larger project on the social history of domestic technologies in Türkiye, the article analyzes newspapers, magazines, TV commercials, social media, and films to reveal how domestic ideals have been negotiated through kitchen spaces. © 2025 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.Book Part Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Challenges Faced by Closed Basins From the Perspective of Water Resources: Case Studies From Türkiye(Springer Nature, 2025) Kircicek, Nilufer Tirol; Gungor, Esra Bilgic; Baba, AlperClosed basins form important hydrological systems that provide a variety of benefits to both the environment and humans. This chapter examines the current status of closed basins in Turkiye and analyzes the natural and anthropogenic environmental stressors affecting these regions. Two distinct case studies are covered in this chapter: the Konya Closed Basin (KCB) and the Karakuyu region. Konya Closed Basin has experienced severe drought and sinkhole issues as a result of misapplications and excessive water consumption. The severity and frequency of water-related problems are increasing day by day due to the impact of climate change in the region. Agricultural activity and irrigation needs are high in the Karakuyu region, which is considered a second case study and is a small part of the Kucuk Menderes River Basin. It is hoped that with improved management practices, Karakuyu will not experience the condition of KCB in the future. The final section outlines the recommended practices and precautionary measures for addressing issues associated with closed basins.
