In Turkey, there is not a comprehensive (integrated) coastal policy. In addition, there are many different policies and legal regulations describing the implementation processes of these policies and institutional structures emerged as the consequences of these regulations concerning the coastal areas. Although there is a coastal law specified for the coasts, the applicability of the rules determining the utilization principles of the coast and shore strip described with this law administratively has always been controversial. In the Constitution, the principle of controlling the coasts and shore strips within the framework of public interest and environmental protection was adopted. The valid Coastal Law necesitates the formation of a uniform spatial pattern in the shore strip described in a stable manner. This situation means that the existing characteristics of small coastal settlements, existed in an integration with the sea throughout the history, were ignored and the relations of these settlements with the sea were disconnected. The main target of the thesis is to put forward and critisize to what extent the spatial pattern desired to constitute with the planning approach proposed in the Law is in service of the public interest and principles of environmental protection in the small coastal settlements. Finally, the implementation problems caused by the Coastal Law in Bozburun are put forward in this thesis. Recommendations are given concerning that the power of planning should be increased in this process and accordingly institutional structure should be rearrenged in stead of the Coastal Law̕s proposing similar plan decisions for the coastal settlements at any scale.

Gated communities as a new upper-middle class "utopia" in Turkey : the case of Angora Houses
Ertuna, Ayberk Can; Şengül, Hüseyin Tarık; Department of Urban Policy Planning and Local Governments (2003)
The aim of this thesis is to analyse the effects of gated communities in the increasing fragmentation of urban space and in the increasing polarisation among different classes in the Turkish context, more specifically in the capital, Ankara. Since the case study is based on an upper-middle class suburban gated community, first, suburbanisation أas a wave of urbanisationؤ is analysed. Then, the debates about the middle class and the transformation that this social stratum has undergone are discussed. Later, ...
White vs. black Turks : the civilising process in Turkey in the 1990s
Sumer, Beyza; Erdoğan, Necmi; Department of Political Science and Public Administration (2003)
This thesis analyses the formation of أWhiteؤ and أBlackؤ Turks distinction in terms of the civilising process which operates on the differentiation between أcivilisedؤ and أuncivilised/grotesqueؤ bodies and corresponds to the formation of the high/low hierarchy in Turkey in the 1990s. The particular construction of civilised bodies is delineated with respect to the continuity and discontinuity of the Ottoman modernisation and the Kemalist project of Westernisation. The social, political and ideological con...
Tourism development and spatial organization : Antalya - Belek case
Almaç Erdem, F. İrem; Keskinok, Hüseyin Çağatay; Urban Design in City and Regional Planning Department (2005)
The rapid development in tourism sector in Turkey after 1980s led to an uncontrolled and unplanned development in the small settlements close to the tourism development areas. This is the result of the incrementalist tourism planning understanding emerged as the consequence of not considering the small settlements as a part of tourism development scenarios. Within the thesis, the tourism development areas and the economic, social, cultural and spatial relations of small settlements surrounding are discussed...
A democratisation project in the age of neoliberalism: the historical specificity of the Tüsiad reports
Güveloglu, Nazım; Yalman, Osman Galip; Department of Political Science and Public Administration (2003)
By the late 1990s, a democratisation project has come to the agenda in Turkey in relation to a possible membership to the European Union. This thesis analyses this democratisation project with special reference to the reports published by TÜSİAD accordingly. Within the scope of the thesis, as well as the theoretical bases of the reports, the motives behind TÜSİAD̕s support for this project will also be dealt with. It will be argued that, in order to grasp the specificity of both the democratisation project ...

This study compared pedestrian behaviors in five countries (Estonia, Greece, Kosovo, Russia, and Turkey) and investigated the relationships between these behaviors and values in each country. The study participants were 131 pedestrians for Estonia, 249 for Greece, 112 for Kosovo, 176 for Russia, and 145 for Turkey. The principal component analyses revealed that the four-factor structure of the Pedestrian Behavior Scale (PBS) was highly consistent across the five countries. ANCOVA results revealed significan...
