Conference Object Citation - WoS: 2Wedding Wear Cluster in Izmir: How Does the Creative Knowledge Ecosystem Self-Operate?(LookUs Scientific, 2013) Mengi, Onur; Velibeyoğlu, Koray; Velibeyoğlu, Koray; 02.03. Department of City and Regional Planning; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyThe present research aims to analyze the ways of the creative knowledge ecosystem is being self-operated in a certain environment in order to comprehend how creativity and knowledge flow and exchange are generated within the creative industries framework. Creative knowledge ecosystem refers to all the physical and organizational mechanism of the creative environment which together form a self-sufficient entity. For this study, how firms feed and supply each other, how they survive and sustain their production and distribution processes within such entity thus becomes essential. Therefore, a wedding wear cluster in Izmir, Mimar Kemalettin Fashion District, has been chosen as a case study. The methodology consists of semi-structured interviews with the managers, designers and workers employed in the wedding wear and fashion-linked firms located in the district. The data is collected and processed by means of the DICE method. The findings reveal particular ecosystem characteristics within the wedding wear cluster, and present its current organizational conditions regarding the ecosystem major components; distribution, interaction, competition, and evolution.Conference Object Information and Communication Technology Sector Strategy Map of Izmir(LookUs Scientific, 2013) Tuğlular, Tuğkan; Tuğlular, Tuğkan; Tekir, Selma; Velibeyoğlu, Koray; Velibeyoğlu, Koray; Tekir, Selma; 02.03. Department of City and Regional Planning; 03.04. Department of Computer Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyThis study aims to understand current dynamics of the Izmir's ICT sector by looking at its dynamics and mapping the spatial distribution of the firms. It is based on series of analysis produced for Izmir Development Agency in 2012 within the frame of preparation of 2014-2023 Izmir Regional Development Plan. It conducts a Delphi survey to support situation knowledge as well as trend prediction for the next 10 years' period. Furthermore, gap analysis is performed to measure the margin between the current situation of the ICT sector and future trends predicted by experts. The study also maps Izmir's ICT sector's location preferences based on Izmir Chamber of Commerce's publicly available web-based database. It illustrated that ICT sector's trend largely based on centripetal and spontaneously developed clusters placed in the central part of the city. On the other hand, planned technology regions and science parks are relatively immature and need to be developed. Within the light of this dichotomy this study proposes a strategy map to Izmir's ICT sector.
