    Mediated Narratives of Syrian Refugees: Mapping Victim-Threat Correlations in Turkish Newspapers
    (Routledge, 2025) Cox, Ayca Tunc
    Turkey has become the first and main transition hub for Syrian refugees. Furthermore, Turkey is spatially as well as culturally simultaneously referred to as European and Asian or Middle Eastern depending the point of view. Therefore, the representation of refugees in the Turkish press proves significant for the knowledge produced about refugees. Accordingly, this chapter strives to investigate the coverage of Syrian refugees in newspapers, which constitutes only one aspect of the overall reception of the issue in Turkey, and therefore does not claim to be exhaustive. Yet, because daily newspapers are still among the most important media sectors in Turkey, they constitute a special case of knowledge production worth investigating.

    A Novel Approach by Combining Fuzzy Ahp and a Simulation Model To Analyze Suitability of Ports for Offshore Wind Farms
    (int Soc offshore Polar Engineers, 2025) Ozturk, Samet; Karipoglu, Fatih; Efe, Burak
    This study presents a comprehensive suitability analysis for assessing the serviceability of existing container ports for offshore wind farms (OWFs) in Turkey, utilizing a combination of fuzzy analytical hierarchy process with Arena simulation modeling. This study is the first comprehensive analysis of offshore wind port infrastructure that integrates a multi-criteria decision making process with an Arena simulation model tailored specifically for existing container ports. The results indicate that technical criteria are deemed most critical, carrying the highest weight (0.563), with expansion potential identified as the most impactful criterion within the technical category. In addition, the study employs the Arena simulation software to forecast the operational workload on the most suitable ports following potential OWF installations.

    Exploring the Contemporary Dynamics of Extended Urbanisation: a Comprehensive Analysis on the Case of Denizli, Turkey
    (Kare Publ, 2025) Kolaoglu, Busra; Penpecioglu, Mehmet; Ogur, Aysun Ayguen
    Contemporary discussions about extended urbanization and its inherent practices of suburbanization particularly focus on metropolitan cities in the Global South. There is inadequate empirical evidence on the rapidly developing Anatolian cities in Turkey. To address this gap, this article analyzes Denizli's extended urban development process, elaborates on the dominant practices, and examines the driving forces shaping its rapid, contested, and fragmented socio-spatial landscape. As one of the most ubiquitous cases among rapidly developing Anatolian cities, Denizli highlights the leading role of fragmented urban development planning interventions, the stimulating impact of transportation and infrastructure investments, and the pivotal role of private sector projects. The research consists of urban spatial analysis using statistical data and urban planning documents, detecting land use/cover changes over time, and identifying the driving factors that have influenced and shaped the patterns of urban development in Denizli. The findings indicate that fragmented urban development planning interventions have both triggered and sustained extended urban development in Merkezefendi, Denizli. Moreover, key public investments and real estate projects have fostered this extended urban development process, leading to disjointed fragments in a socioeconomically polarized geography. As a diversified and relational formation of extended urbanization, Denizli provides genuine research findings, and includes remarkable similarities as well as differences in the comparative analysis of global urbanism practices.

    Exploring Women's Visceral Engagement With Electric Appliances in Turkish Kitchens
    (Springernature, 2025) Emgin, Bahar; Karaosmanoğlu, Defne; Ata, Leyla Bektaş; Karaosmanoglu, Defne; Ata, Leyla Bektas; Emgin, Bahar
    This paper investigates the narratives and experiences of women regarding cooking with small electric appliances. It intends to offer a novel perspective on gender and technology studies by foregrounding the visceral dimensions of these encounters. Drawing from a larger project on the historical representations and lived experiences of domestic technologies in Turkey, it highlights how the embodied dimensions of cooking shape the ways women perceive, adapt, and integrate technology into their daily lives. This study is based on interviews with twenty-seven women across five cities in Turkey conducted between 2022 and 2024. While small electric appliances are often marketed for convenience and efficiency, we argue that focusing solely on their instrumental benefits neglects the complex and visceral ways women engage with technology. A visceral approach remains an undervalued lens for understanding these interactions, particularly as women's embodied knowledge and relationships to kitchen appliances challenge scholarship that prioritizes progress and efficiency. As active agents, many women resist these technologies, viewing them as misaligned with the embodied knowledge and practices integral to cooking. By reevaluating the relationship between food, gender, and technology, we propose that such disengagement challenges the positivist reliance on science and technology, emphasizing the importance of embodied knowledge and everyday practices in shaping women's interactions with technology.

    Exploring Student Information Management System Adoption Post Pandemic: Case of Turkish Higher Education
    (Elsevier Ltd, 2024) Daim,T.; Ozdemir Gungor,D.; Basoglu,N.; Yarga,A.; VanDerSchaaf,H.
    Many aspects of our lives have changed during the pandemic including the accelerated adoption of technologies. Education was one of the segments that was disrupted by the pandemic, therefore Student Information Systems became critical at that time. This paper explores the adoption of Student Information Management Systems in multiple Turkish universities. The research model was adopted from a study conducted in the US, which is based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology. More than three hundred students from seventeen universities responded, and the results indicated key factors of adoption. Furthermore, differences with the case in the US were identified. © 2024 Elsevier Ltd

    Convenient Site Selection of a Floating Pv Power Plant in Türkiye by Using Gis-Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process
    (Springer Heidelberg, 2024) Karipoglu, Fatih; Koca, Kemal; Ilbahar, Esra
    Floating photovoltaics (FPVs) are appearing as a promising and an alternative renewable energy opinion in which PV panels are mounted on floating platforms in order to produce electricity from renewable energy on water such as seas, dams, rivers, oceans, canals, fish farms, and reservoirs. So far, such studies related to the body knowledge on financial, technical, and environmental aspects of installation of FPV have not been performed in Turkey while expanding steadily in other countries. In this study, suitable site selection for installation of FPV power plants on three lakes in Turkey was studied by performing geographic information system (GIS) and the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) as multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) method. This detailed study revealed that the criterion of global horizontal irradiance (GHI) was determined as the most crucial criterion for the installation of FPV on Beysehir Lake, Lake of Tuz, and Van Lake. Additionally, it was clearly seen that the Beysehir Lake had the highest value approximately 52% among other lakes for installation, that is why Beysehir Lake is selected as the best option for installation of an FPV system with this multi-criteria approach.

    Politics of Waiting for Transformation in Protracted Urban Renewal Projects in Turkey
    (Sage Publications Ltd, 2023) Ay, Deniz; Penpecioglu, Mehmet
    This paper explores the politics of 'waiting' as a mode of governance in large-scale urban redevelopment projects. In designated renewal areas, residents/landowners are often subject to several episodes of waiting: waiting for the public authority for information on redevelopment visions; waiting for the plans and projects to become public; waiting for the court ruling if they appeal the plans; waiting for demolition upon plan approvals; and, finally, waiting for the constructions to be completed. Given the complexity of actors and institutions involved in the waiting, it becomes a conflictual political process. This prolonged waiting leads to an ongoing temporariness and precarious spaces of urban renewal. The course of waiting affects the reorganization of the city space now and in the future. We analyze two protracted urban renewal projects from Turkey, Fikirtepe in Istanbul and Karabaglar in Izmir, to explore how residents' decade-long waiting for urban change are shaped and how these diverse waiting experiences lead to different outcomes for the progression of the state-imposed urban renewal agendas. While Karabaglar residents have unified around active bottom-up resistance from the beginning to challenge the project-based plans the central government imposed, Fikirtepe residents pursued individual-level negotiations with developers to maximize private returns following the zoning incentives the public authority gave. Despite the socio-spatial similarities between these designated urban renewal project sites, variances in residents' collective waiting strategies have led to different urban politics around project-based urban change.

    A Gis-Based Fahp and Fedas Analysis Framework for Suitable Site Selection of a Hybrid Offshore Wind and Solar Power Plant
    (Elsevier B.V., 2023) Karipoğlu, Fatih; Ozturk, S.; Efe, B.
    This study presents a Geographic Information System (GIS) based suitable site selection methodology for a hybrid system that includes offshore wind and solar PV. The methodology utilizes open source databases about decision criteria and applies this data using GIS to determine suitable sites for offshore wind and solar PV systems. For the assessment of multi-criteria which affect the potential hybrid energy power plants and the determination of the best suitable areas, Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process (FAHP) and Fuzzy Evaluation based on Distance Average Solution (FEDAS) are used in the study. Results show that technical criteria has the priority weight of 0.60 while the weight of social criteria is about 0.07. Among sub-criteria, the wind speed has the highest priority weight while distance to port and visibility are the highest criteria of priority weight under economic and social main criteria, respectively. Among the alternatives, Area 2 (A-2) is determined as the best alternative for hybrid offshore power plants in the study area. This proposed methodology can be utilized by decision-makers to determine the best suitable locations for hybrid offshore wind and solar PV systems at any location. This paper suggests a new approach integrating GIS, fuzzy setbased AHP and EDAS as a novelty. © 2023 International Energy Initiative

    Revisiting 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.

    Urban Earthquake Vulnerability Assessment and Mapping at the Microscale Based on the Catastrophe Progression Method
    (SPRINGER, 2023) Gerçek, Deniz; Güven, İsmail Talih
    Vulnerability assessment and mapping play a crucial role in disaster risk reduction and planning for adaptation to a future earthquake. Turkey is one of the most at-risk countries for earthquake disasters worldwide. Therefore, it is imperative to develop effective earthquake vulnerability assessment and mapping at practically relevant scales. In this study, a holistic earthquake vulnerability index that addresses the multidimensional nature of earthquake vulnerability was constructed. With the aim of representing the vulnerability as a continuum across space, buildings were set as the smallest unit of analysis. The study area is in Izmit City of Turkey, with the exposed human and structural elements falling inside the most hazardous zone of seismicity. The index was represented by the building vulnerability, socioeconomic vulnerability, and vulnerability of the built environment. To minimize the subjectivity and uncertainty that the vulnerability indices based on expert knowledge are suffering from, an extension of the catastrophe progression method for the objective weighing of indicators was proposed. Earthquake vulnerability index and components were mapped, a local spatial autocorrelation metric was employed where the hotspot maps demarcated the earthquake vulnerability, and the study quantitatively revealed an estimate of people at risk. With its objectivity and straightforward implementation, the method can aid decision support for disaster risk reduction and emergency management.
