Change can be defined as alteration between situations or a relational difference. As with everything in nature, change is inevitable for traditional buildings. With the continuity of original use or refunctioning, some of traditional houses can be changed while preserving some of their values. As a conservation problem this master’s thesis aims to see the changes caused by the interventions to meet the contemporary needs in two cases: when the traditional houses are conserved with its original function versus when they are conserved with a new function as hotel. Having a unique cultural landscape Cappadocia, includes the settlements like Ürgüp, Göreme, Avanos, Uçhisar and Ortahisar, and is known for its peculiar traditional houses built with rock carving and stone masonry techniques. While traditional houses, which have been restored as hotels due to tourism based economic developments have increased gradually in the last thirty years, there have been examples that sustained their original function. Taking these aspects into consideration, 8 traditional house examples in Cappadocia Mustafapaşa are selected. As a result of this master thesis, it is aimed to see how and to what extend functional change affect conservation of original features of a house in two cases: when the traditional houses are conserved with its original function versus when they are conserved with a new function. With the scope of this thesis, only the changes occurred in physical features of the traditional houses have been studied among all these respects. The traditional house cases selected from Mustafapaşa are analyzed in terms of changes in seven parameters: the locational features, planimetric features, façade, architectural elements, construction technique and function of spaces. Following this, the data obtained as a result of the analysis were evaluated. Evaluation and comparison of house samples among themselves and hotel samples among themselves are made. Afterwards, the thesis concludes by interpreting physical changes detected in the hotel samples with the house samples.

Values are supposed to transcend specific situations and contexts. A country-independent relationship is expected between individual values and aggressive driving. The purpose of this novel study was to investigate the relationship between individual values and aggressive driving. The data were collected from five countries, namely, Estonia, Greece, Kosovo, Russia, and Turkey. The number of participants was 124 in Estonian, 272 in Greek, 107 in Kosovar, 132 in Russian, and 87 in Turkish samples. Participant...
A parallel between regret theory and outranking methods for multicriteria decision making under imprecise information
Ozerol, Gul; Karasakal, Esra (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2008-08-01)
Incorporation of the behavioral issues of the decision maker (DM) is among the aspects that each Multicriteria Decision Making (MCDM) method implicitly or explicitly takes into account. As postulated by regret theory, the feelings of regret and rejoice are among the behavioral issues associated with the entire decision making process. Within the context of MCDM, the DM may feel regret, when the chosen alternative is compared with another one having at least one better criterion value. PROMETHEE II is a wide...
Efficient discovery of join plans in schemaless data
Acar, Aybar Can (2009-09-01)
We describe a method of inferring join plans for a set of relation instances, in the absence of any metadata, such as attribute domains, attribute names, or constraints (e.g., keys or foreign keys). Our method enumerates the possible join plans in order of likelihood, based on the compatibility of a pair of columns and their suitability as join attributes (i.e. their appropriateness as keys). We outline two variants of the approach. The first variant is accurate but potentially time-consuming, especially fo...
Granular best match algorithm for context-aware computing systems
Kocaballi, A. Baki; Koçyiğit, Altan (2007-12-01)
In order to be context-aware, a system or application should adapt its behaviour according to current context, acquired by various context provision mechanisms. After acquiring current context, this information should be matched against the previously defined context sets. In this paper, a granular best match algorithm dealing with the subjective, fuzzy, multi-granular and multi-dimensional characteristics of contextual information is introduced. The CAPRA - Context-Aware Personal Reminder Agent tool is use...
The Problem of the Feminist Subject and Butler's Alternative
Baydar, Kadriye Sena; Karademir, Aret; Department of Philosophy (2022-12)
According to the poststructuralist understanding of power, since there is no position prior to, or independent of, the normative operations of power, neither the identity nor the category of the subject can be formulated independently of social and cultural norms. Correspondingly, there cannot be an identity category that is universally representative. However, in the case of feminism, since such understanding seems to mean rejecting the autonomy of the subject and restraining the possibility of collectivit...
