A New Route for Regional Planning in Turkey: Recent Developments
(Springer international Publishing Ag, 2019) Ozdemir, Suna S.
Since the 1930s, regional plans have been drawn up for various regions in Turkey. However, the institutional practice of regional development policy as well as regional planning began with the establishment of the State Planning Organisation in 1960. After the 1960s, through Five-Year National Development Plans, a regional development policy was defined, and regional development plans were formulated for some specific regions. In practice, there were some challenges and problems during that period in regional planning. The shift in the regional development policy and regional planning began in 1999 with Turkey's accession period to the European Union. For adaptation to the EU's regional policy, some newpolicies, legislation, and institutional set-ups were defined. This chapter mainly focuses on these new policies and instruments, namely the new route taken by regional planning in Turkey.

A Study of the Thorp Green Poems of Anne Bronte: Poetic Artistry as a Cure for Her Nostalgia
(Vernon Press, 2025) Sonmez-Demir, Yagmur
Among the Bronte Sisters, Anne Bronte is the least studied, and the bulk of literary scholarship is on her novels. Most of the critics agree on the fact that her literary production is autobiographical. Taking my cue from the existing scholarship on Anne Bronte, I will study the poems Anne wrote when she was employed as a governess in Thorp Green by the Robinsons between 1840 and 1845. Highly influenced by the romantic poets preceding her, she shared her emotions in her poems. As her biographers (Gerin, Chitham, Langland) also noted, she felt excluded and lonely, especially at the start of her employment in Thorp Green, and she was able to visit her family only on Christmas and two weeks in June each year, which led her to develop a longing for her home and her family. An exhaustive study of her Thorp Green poems displays that she dislikes being there, experiences homesickness, and longs for the past days. With the exception of Gondal and religious poems written at that time span, she expresses her loneliness, solitude, and feelings of melancholy in the poems. When her homesickness heightened, she found solace in her memories and turned her feelings of longing into poetic creation. She either draws on her memories about her home in Haworth or uses objects in nature, such as a flower or a scenery as memorative signs to trigger her memories. According to sociologist Svetlana Boym, nostalgia can be "a poetic creation, an individual mechanism of survival, a countercultural practice, a poison, or a cure" (Boym 18). In this study, I will read Anne Bronte's Thorp Green Poems through the prism of theories of nostalgia, and argue that she wrote poems in order to deal with her nostalgia, for which her poetic creation becomes a cure.

Some Observations on Ifrs Accounting Policy Choices: the Case of the Airline Industry
(Emerald Group Publishing Ltd, 2022) Ozturk, Can
This chapter deals with the patterns of International Financial Reporting Standards' accounting policy choices that have been analyzed by several authors in a country-specific context. Instead of a country-specific context, this chapter adopts a sector-specific approach in terms of the airline industry in a regional and global context in order to observe the patterns of cosmetic and non-cosmetic policy options. Cosmetic policy options are related to the presentation of financial information which is not expected to impact the comparability of financial information versus non-cosmetic policy options are considered to be policy options that are related to measurement and, therefore, if there is more than one allowable accounting treatment, the comparability of financial information weakens. In the context of the airline industry, this chapter considers the patterns of policy choices related to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements, IAS 2 Inventory, IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows, IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment, IAS 38 Intangible Assets, and IAS 40 Investment Property, within the framework of frequently observed policy options as well as taking depreciation methods and expected useful life into consideration in terms of industry-specific policy options in order to observe whether there is uniformity rather than diversity in the airline industry for presentation and measurement.

Entry Barriers To the Nanotechnology Industry in Turkey
(Igi Global, 2010) Sener, Irge; Aydogan-Duda, Neslihan
Nanotechnology is the science that focuses on the control of matter at the atomic scale. It has the potential to create many new materials and devices with wide-ranging applications, such as in medicine, electronics and energy production. There are many entry barriers which can affect nanotechnology penetration in developing and emerging nations. This chapter discusses such barriers for Turkey. Despite about 10 universities having nanotechnology programs, the number of nanotechnology firms in the country is still low. Using combinations of interviews, surveys and literature, these issues that continue to stall the commercialization of discoveries in Turkey are examined.

Integrating the Resilience Perspective Into the Turkish Planning System: Issues and Challenges
(Springer international Publishing Ag, 2019) Kaya, Deniz Altay
Within the last decade, resilience has become both a major planning framework and a development goal for cities and regions facing a plethora of problems in different fields and at different scales. This chapter aims to identify the challenges that await governments when they integrate a resilience thinking framework into their planning systems. The chapter first provides a short explanation on the significance of resilience planning and then outlines a structural model for incorporating the social, economic, political, and institutional requirements in resilience thinking in city and regional planning. Next, the chapter provides a short analysis of the Turkish planning system to reveal its inherent problems and the issues that are likely to be most challenging in a shift towards resilience planning. Finally, based on the provided analyses, the chapter provides a critical discussion on the challenges in operationalizing resilience planning in the Turkish context. The findings reveal that there is a need for restructuring especially in Turkey's institutional and legislative framework to improve coordination and cooperation, to assure the use of scientific knowledge within the decision-making processes, and to actualize the praxes of participation and engaged governance.

Failure Modes in Structural Applications of Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (Frp) Composites and Their Prevention
(Woodhead Publ Ltd, 2013) Gunes, O.
Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite materials have been increasingly used in civil engineering applications in the past two decades. Their wide ranging use, however, is still not realized due to a few fundamental issues including high material costs, relatively short history of applications and the gaps in the development of established standards. Design safety requires that all possible modes and mechanisms of failure are identified, characterized, and accounted for in the design procedures. This chapter provides a review of the failure types encountered in structural engineering applications of FRP and the preventive methods and strategies that have been developed to eliminate or delay such failures. As part of preventive measures, various non-destructive testing (NDT) and structural health monitoring (SHM) methods used for monitoring FRP applications are discussed with illustrative examples.

Urbanisation and Urban Planning in Turkey
(Springer international Publishing Ag, 2019) Uzun, Nil; Sari, O. Burcu Ozdemir; Ozdemir, Suna S.
Urban and regional planning, as an institution, differs significantly from country to country depending on the legal and institutional contexts of each state. The significance of urban and regional planning increased in Turkey in 1923 following the foundation of the Republic. Economic policies executed by the government have always had an effect on urbanisation in Turkey. In fact, different economic policies and models applied since 1923 defined the different periods of urbanisation in the country. These periods also define the changes in urban and regional planning. There are basically four different models of economic development applied starting from 1923. Acentralised, state-dominated model was the first one, and it was implemented until the 1950s. Liberalisation, the second model, was adopted in the 1950s. Mechanisation in agriculture set off rural-to-urban migration, and the rate of urbanisation increased very rapidly. This period lasted until the 1980s when Turkey's economy underwent radical changes with the introduction of the privatisation model within the context of globalisation. The fourth period, starting after the general elections of 2002, can be considered a continuation of the third one. Economic and political changes in this period have had substantial implications for cities.

Epitaxial Graphene and Carbon Nanotubes on Silicon Carbide
(Crc Press-taylor & Francis Group, 2014) Buke, Goknur C.; Buke, Goknur C.
Graphene (i.e., a single layer of graphite) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs; i.e., graphene rolled into a cylinder) are excellent candidate materials for advanced applications because of their unique electrical, optical, and mechanical properties combined with a high surface area. The successful development of graphene-/CNT-based technology depends on large-scale availability of the high-quality, reproducible, and uniformly ordered material. One of the most versatile methods to produce vertically, self-aligned CNTs and epitaxial graphene is the vacuum annealing of silicon carbide single crystals [1,2]. This is a very versatile method because carbon is supplied from the carbide lattice as known from the synthesis of carbide-derived carbons (CDCs, see Figure 4.1) and, as no catalysts or secondary phases are utilized; the produced graphene and CNTs exhibit extremely high purity. However, to increase the grain/domain size and quality of these carbon nanostructures, further control of the process is needed. © 2014 by Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

Overview of Financial Reporting in the Airline Industry
(Emerald Group Publishing Ltd, 2022) Ozturk, Can
This chapter focuses on the diversity of financial reporting frameworks in the airline industry considering past and present. While diversity of financial reporting frameworks existed in the past, currently, the majority of listed and non-listed airlines, whose financial statements are publicly available, are inclined to adopt International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), leading toward uniformity in financial reporting frameworks because their country of incorporation or the stock exchange where they are listed either require or permit them to do so. Airlines operating in the United States prepare their financial statements under United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and some of Asian-Pacific countries still use their own national accounting standards in financial reporting. In addition, this research points out that the primary determinant of IFRS adoption in the airline industry is the fact that the majority of airlines are listed in national or foreign stock exchanges where IFRS adoption is required, but there are some company-specific determinants for listed and non-listed IFRS adopting airlines. Finally, this chapter also sets forth that there are jurisdictional versions of IFRS in the global context from the perspective of financial statements of airlines leading to some obstacles in understanding the financial reporting framework.

Policy and Planning in the Age of Mobilities: Refugees and Urban Planning in Turkey
(Springer international Publishing Ag, 2019) Gungordu, Feriha Nazda; Bayirbag, Mustafa Kemal
This chapter discusses the challenges posed by Syrian refugee problem (a multifaceted "mobility" problem especially hitting metropolitan cities) on urban planning practices and discourses in Turkey. Here, we portray the refugee problem as a multiscalar one, where international, national and local authorities meet the challenge in different ways. The multiscalar lens allows us to detect how various problem areas (security, sheltering, etc.) have become intertwined and concentrated on urban areas after refugee influx. In that regard, first we depict the role of "urban planning" in "governance of (refugee) mobility" in neoliberal era. Secondly, we briefly touch upon the historical association between the mobility patterns and urbanization in Turkey since 1923 to detect how public authorities (at different scales of governing) reacted to these mobilities. This historical analysis helps us locate the Syrian refugee problem into its proper context as an urban planning problem (not simply as an IR or security problem). Lastly, we discuss Syrian Refugee Crisis' challenges on urban areas and planning practices in Turkey by referring to its international, national and local governance. We conclude by summing up the key empirical and theoretical lessons drawn while also introducing analytical questions about the future direction of research.

Innovation Cluster Development Potential in the Regions of Turkey: a Geographical Perspective
(Igi Global, 2013) Sakarya, Arif Orcun
The assessment of firms' innovativeness levels in a specific territory can be assumed to be an important indicator of future innovative collaboration, some of which might also be cluster setup initiatives. Assuming that geographical proximity can also provide a favorable opportunity for strengthening interfirm ties, the goal of the chapter is to discover the best innovation variables for Turkish firms in terms of being members of potential innovative cluster formations. Following an overview of the innovation parameters used in the study, the current situation of the firms in question and their problems are briefly stated. The analysis part includes a regression test to discover the variables affecting firms' innovativeness in order to tackle the problems stated. Regression results have shown that intellectual capital, technology infrastructure, and geographical concentration levels affect the innovation performance of the firms in different regions. The conclusion involves further policy improvements for empowering regional innovation capabilities.
