    Comprehensive Comparison of Different Gridded Precipitation Products Over Geographic Regions of Türkiye
    (Spie-soc Photo-optical instrumentation Engineers, 2024) Gündüz, Orhan; Sahin, Onur Gungor; Gunduz, Orhan; 03.07. Department of Environmental Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    The traditionally used rain gauge stations provide the most reliable data on the spatiotemporal distribution of precipitation; however, they are limited in space and time. As an alternative to field observations, the gridded precipitation products (GPPs) offered by remote sensing missions are widely used. On account of the uncertainties associated with the GPPs, they have to be quality-checked for confidence in application over the region of interest. Although accuracy assessment of precipitation data is a common task, there is a gap in the literature regarding a comprehensive assessment of the currently available GPPs. In this study, 14 GPPs were used to investigate their performance in catching the spatio-temporal characteristics of precipitation over geographic regions of T & uuml;rkiye. According to the results, integrated multi-satellite retrievals for Global Precipitation Measurement (IMERG), multi-source weighted-ensemble precipitation (MSWEP), and Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) show better performance on monthly and annual scales while on the climatology scale, CHELSA, Climate Hazards Group Infrared Precipitation with Station, ERA5, and ERA5-Land also manifest better performance. The mean monthly correlation over Aegean Region (AEG), Marmara Region (MAR), Central Anatolian Region (CAR), Mediterranean Region (MED), Black Sea Region (BSR), East Anatolian Region (EAR), and South East Anatolian Region (SEA) are 0.77, 0.81, 0.77, 0.80, 0.79, 0.77, and 0.77, respectively. The annual assessment suggests that over the MAR, CAR, MED, and SEA, the IMERG mission performs very well. While TRMM showcases its best performance in the AEG, MED, BSR, and EAR, MSWEP performs well in the BSR and SEA Region. Overall, taking the country-average results into account, it can be stated that among the used GPPs, TRMM, MSWEP, and IMERG yield the best results for T & uuml;rkiye as a whole.

    Equitable Accessibility of Public Open Spaces: a Comparison of Measurement Methods in Metropolitan Area of Izmir, Türkiye
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2024) Şenol, Fatma; Kaya, Ilgi Atay; 02.03. Department of City and Regional Planning; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    The accessibility of public open spaces (POS) is assessed by comparing the characteristics of these spaces with the population characteristics across various urban units. Known as "equity mapping" of POS, this method identifies and addresses spatial inequities and environmental justice issues related to POS accessibility. However, research in this area has advanced further in countries with data availability at small spatial scales (e.g. census tracts), enabling the measurement of accessibility within walking distances. To address the challenges of conducting research in data-limited contexts, this case study in Izmir (T & uuml;rkiye) investigates which spatial analyses can facilitate the development of a comprehensive equity mapping of POS accessibility. T & uuml;rkiye has demographic data available at the neighbourhood level, including age, gender, and education, but lacks data on income, race/ethnicity, and other characteristics commonly used in mainstream research. This paper assumes that children, the elderly, and low-education groups (a proxy for income level) have a greater need for POS. It explores three forms of overlay analyses: feature-based, raster-based, and fishnet-based. Additionally, it examines the metropolitan area and its sub-regions as terrains with different POS accessibility. The results highlight the Centre as having the weakest POS accessibility in neighbourhoods with high child ratios and low education levels. The fishnet-based density analysis offers a finer lens for identifying the locations of priority areas for POS provisioning, even within neighbourhoods. HIGHLIGHTSFor improving public open space (POS) accessibility, GIS-based measurements of physical and social data can determine priority areas in the cityPOS accessibility measurements in mainstream research use certain data and spatial units unavailable in data-limited countriesIn data-limited countries, the grid-based density analysis can provide more accuracy about priority areas for POS planningTaking the city with sub-regions of different POS accessibility helps with determining priority areasIzmir's central city and neighbourhoods with high child ratios and low education levels have the weakest POS accessibility

    Diverse Geographies of Urban Crisis: a Comparative Analysis of Egypt, India and Türkiye
    (Yildiz Technical Univ, Fac Architecture, 2024) Penpecioğlu, Mehmet; Bayırbağ, Mustafa Kemal; 02.03. Department of City and Regional Planning; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    The article concentrates on the reasons behind, and consequences of, the post-2008 urban crises experienced in the southern geographies of capitalism. It does so through a comparative analysis of three cases, namely India, Egypt, and Türkiye. The methodological approach in the article attempts to expand the scope of urban politics research to bring divergent cases into conversation. We argue that loosely defined, similar and different causes and/or repeated outcomes of urban crises across diverse cases could form an appropriate base for research in urban politics. The article brings the politics of redistribution in three cases/countries under the spotlight, focusing on four dimensions of the politics of redistribution: (dis)possession; exploitation; commons; and representation. While the last two dimensions dominated the scene in Egypt, in the case of Türkiye, it was about the politics of representation and exploitation. In India, the politics of (dis)possession and commons seem to constitute the center of urban politics. Furthermore, as the comparative analysis of the countries reveals, the role of the state and its historical and spatial configurations have played a strategic role in the formation of the politics of distribution. The comparative analysis also indicates that the variegated neoliberal urban policies have become successful or have failed in containing urban crises. The reasons for the success/failure in urban policies depend on three major factors: (1) the spatio-institutional design of the urban policy-making mechanisms; (2) the historical pattern of urbanization; (3) the role of the nation-state, especially the central government, in the politics of redistribution.

    Evaluation of Gis-Based Spatial Interpolation Methods for Groundwater Level: a Case Study of Türkiye
    (Tubitak Scientific & Technological Research Council Turkey, 2024) Baba, Alper; Tirol Kırçiçek, Nilüfer; Koçbay, Ayhan; Toklu, Murat Mert; 03.03. Department of Civil Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology; 03.07. Department of Environmental Engineering
    Groundwater is a valuable and universally distributed resource on Earth. Understanding the spatial and temporal dynamics of groundwater is of utmost importance for effective management. Normally, groundwater levels are recorded at arbitrary points, but groundwater modeling requires interpolating the measured values at specific grid nodes. This study aims to dentify and evaluate the geographical variations of groundwater levels in Türkiye using three geostatistical interpolation techniques. Data from 355 groundwater wells from 1970 to 2019 were used for this purpose. In addition, an investigation of changes in annual average temperature and precipitation was conducted for two different time periods: 1985–2000 and 2001–2016. The results show an increase in the annual average temperature in Türkiye by 0.82 °C during the reference period (1985–2000). Despite regional differences in the precipitation regime, the average annual precipitation in Türkiye has not changed significantly overall. Especially in the Meriç-Ergene, Konya Closed (Konya Kapalı), and Euphrates-Tigris basins, a significant decrease in groundwater levels was observed, even though this decrease is less than 100 m in some wells. After a comprehensive analysis of all these data, possible explanations for the changes in groundwater levels were considered.
