Book Part Medical Geology Outreach: a Major Success Story From Turkey(Springer International Publishing, 2021) Baba,A.; Finkelman,R.B.It is incumbent upon medical geology practitioners to reach out to students, science faculties, decision makers, and the biomedical/public health communities to promote this emerging discipline. Perhaps the most successful of these efforts have taken place in Turkey where medical geology courses have been offered in four medical and ten engineering faculties. As a result of these outreach efforts by the Turkish medical geology community for the past decade, there has been robust interactions with scientists from many disciplines and collaborative research on groundwater quality, asbestos, radon, arsenic, mesothelioma, fluorosis, etc. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2021.Book Part Citation - Scopus: 8Secondary Metabolites From Turkish Astragalus Species(Springer International Publishing, 2019) Gülcemal,D.; Aslanipour,B.; Bedir,E.The genus Astragalus belonging to the Leguminosae family is a widely distributed plant throughout the temperate regions of the world. This plant species is used in various traditional and folklore medicines for the treatment of nephritis, diabetes, and uterine cancer and as antiperspirant, diuretic, and tonic. In Turkish folk medicine, the aqueous extracts of some Astragalus species are used to treat leukemia as well as for wound healing. The present chapter shall discuss about the secondary metabolites extracted from this plant species along with their uses in eradicating various ailments. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2019.Article Citation - Scopus: 6Revealing the Climate-Responsive Strategies of Traditional Houses of Urla, İzmir(Sustainable Building Research Center, 2023) Avcı, A.B.; Beyhan, Ş.G.Vernacular houses possess significant climate-responsive properties due to the accumulated information from the trial-and-error method. Therefore, the traditional houses of a region can guide new buildings in terms of adaptation to the climate. The study focuses on the climate-responsive properties of vernacular houses of Urla, İzmir. The study aims to reveal the specific strategies of the traditional houses of Urla in response to the hot and humid Aegean climate. Relating to this purpose, Postane Street, which is among the significant historic streets of the town, is selected as the case area to evaluate the vernacular houses of Urla. The research method is based on the climate-responsive strategies determined from the literature review in the first part. These criteria include “orientation to the sun and wind, the effect of direct sunlight and shading strategy, building envelope and form, interior space organization, integration of greenery, building materials, and roof strategy”. Climate Consultant and Design Builder Software were used to prepare the psychrometric graph and shading regime visualizations. The study showed that the climate-responsive strategies of the street’s vernacular houses are shaped to avoid excessive heat gain in the climate of Urla. The research results are expected to guide sustainable design applications in the same area. © International Journal of Sustainable Building Technology and Urban Development.Conference Object Heat Load Factor for Geothermal District Heating System Design(National Technical University of Athens, 2006) Yıldırım, Nurdan; Gökçen, GüldenDesign of heating systems using conventional fuels is based on peak load which is calculated according to the coldest outdoor design temperature. But in geothermal district heating system design it is common practice to use a heat load factor between 0.6-0.7 since the resource is continues, cheap and system can be run for 24 hours a day. Heat load factor can be defined as a ratio of actual heat load to design heat load of the system. In this study, a geothermal district heating system is designed for Izmir Institute of Technology Campus, Izmir, Turkey and simulated for a heat load factor range of 0.5-1. For the Campus case, the heat load factor is determined as 0.53-0.0.67 based on indoor air temperature and operational cost.Article Citation - Scopus: 2Exchange Rate Movements and Its Local Effects: Turkey Case(Econjournals, 2016) Duran, Hasan EnginAim of the current study is to investigate the impact of exchange rate movements on regional growth and inequalities across 26 NUTS-2 level regions in Turkey over a period 2004-2011. In terms of methodology, spatial-panel methods such as fixed and random effect estimators alligned with spatial autoregressive and error models were adopted. As an outcome, it has been shown that depreciation of Turkish lira creates an increasing effect on aggregate growth while its impact on regions are quite mixed. The industrialized Western regions are worsely affected. In these regions, depreciations create an increase in the cost items of companies, discouraging the production and output growth. Controversially, relatively less developed regions in Eastern parts are positively affected from depreciations, probably due to their improved export performances, following a depreciation, driven by a decrease in exported-good prices and increased competitiveness in foreign markets. This leads consequently to an improvement of convergence process.Article Citation - Scopus: 13Convergence of Regional Economic Cycles in Turkey(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2013) Duran, Hasan EnginDissimilar economic fluctuations and asymmetric shocks across the regions of a country might create severe policy distortions that, under these circumstances, aggregate policy interventions (such as taxation and interest rates), are likely to be sub-optimal for at least a fraction of the regions. For instance, monetary policy can hardly satisfy the needs of all regions when some of the regions are experiencing a boom while others are in a recession phase. For these reasons, similarity of regional business cycles and their convergence are highly desirable from a policy viewpoint. The aim of this paper is, therefore, to provide empirical evidence and policy implications in that context. In particular, I analyze business cycle correlations across Turkish provinces and the tendency of these cycles to converge over the period of analysis between 1975-2000 and 2004-2008 (for Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics [NUTS]-2 regions). I find that regional business cycle asymmetries have tended to decrease in recent decades. This result, although it seems to provide evidence in favor of rising correlations, shows that the convergence process is rather slow and there still exist asymmetries across the regional business cycles.Book Part Citation - Scopus: 6Urban Information Systems in Turkish Local Governments(IGI Global Publishing, 2005) Velibeyoğlu, KoraySince the end of 1980s, different sectors have implemented geographical information systems (GIS) in Turkey. A study on GIS market in Turkey indicates that municipalities are the primary customers (Gülersoy & Yigiter, 1999). One of the earliest GIS projects in Turkey began with the production of digital maps covering the boundaries of Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality in 1987. Since 1994, a rapid development process has occurred with the widespread diffusion of GIS especially in universities and large public sector organizations respectively. However, the early city-wide municipal GIS projects were initiated only after 1996 (Ucuzal, 1999).
