Karabaglar is a rural area where agricultural community lives and which locates in the vicinity of Mugla town. It was registered as third grade natural site that must be preserved according to its rural character, natural and cultural assets and rural life. Property pattern consisting of private ownerships (yurts), specific road network that emerges from irims and kesiks, traditional houses, variety of vegetation, abundant water, self-sufficient agricultural production, and traditional life style are the main features that create and shape Karabaglar. Kesiks, irims, kabaliks, and yurts are the major man-made components, which are unique to Karabaglar, and these characteristics conform to the natural landscape structure. Urban growth, interventions due to misuse of lands, new housing demands of urban residents in Karabaglar resulted in urban pressure on the area. This situation puts forth the conservation necessity of Karabaglar. This research analyzes the speculative housing development in Karabaglar, identifies the type of interventions and their physical, social, economic and environmental effects on Karabaglar; in addition, develops proposals for sustainability of the traditional pattern of Karabaglar.

Land transportation is the main form of transportation around the world. Since the invention of the car land transportation changed drastically. As the cars took a solid part in human lives with the developments in electronics and robotics unmanned land vehicles are the future of both commercial and military land transportation. Today armies want unmanned land vehicles to provide logistical support to the units near threat zones and commercial firms want them to deliver goods more reliably and with less exp...

Prior to the 1980s, a settlement system used to be defined in ‘urban’ or ‘rural’ terms, or in terms of its scale or its settlement stratification, such as village, district, town, city, etc. While ‘urban’ referred to be an area in which non-agricultural activities took place with certain form and boundaries, ‘rural’ signified an area with definite boundaries in which the urban features were indirectly lacking. From the 1980s onwards, along with the changing forms of production (from Fordist to Post-fordist)...
A study on values, problems and potentials of the traditional dwellings in Karabağlar-Muğla
Timur, Barış Ali; Asatekin, Gül; Restoration in Department of Architecture (2012)
Karabağlar district of Muğla, which was registered as a conservation site in 1977, is a low density traditional settlement which has had a family scale agricultural production background. Most of the families, living in the town center, used to migrate to their houses and their farms in that fertile district from the spring till the autumn in order to prepare their needs of foods for the winters as the production of family scale agriculture and animal husbandry. Today the district is located next to Muğla U...
Application of virus induced gene silencing of brachypodium distachyon, a model organism for crops
Demircan, Turan; Akkaya, Mahinur S.; Department of Biochemistry (2009)
Grass family is most important family in plant kingdom due to intensive usage of crops in agriculture. To date, molecular biology researches on grass family have had limitations because of inappropriate characteristics of barley and wheat to conduct experiments on them. Brachypodium distachyon that belongs to grass family has recently emerged as a model organism for crops. It shares common characteristics for a model plant due to its small genome, small physical plant size, a short lifecycle, and less deman...
Intelligent search and algorithms for optimal assignment of air force resources in operations
Rızvanoğlu, Emre; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2008)
The growing extent and variety of present military operations forces to use the resources in hand at its best. Especially, the optimum usage and assignment of limited number of the air force resources to missions will provide a considerable advantage in the battle field. The problem of finding the feasible and optimum assignment has been known to be studied; yet performing the process faster is still a topic that captures researchers’ attention because of the computational complexity that the assignment pro...
