Spatial Decision Making as a branch of decision making science deals with geographically related data in order to achieve complex spatial decision problems. Fuzzy set theory is one of the methods that can be used to come up with these types of problems. On the other hand, Geographical Information Systems (GIS) is one of the most powerful tools that we can use to accomplish spatial decision problems. Selection of the suitable site or land-use for the real estate is also a spatial decision making problem. When we consider the initial dynamics of the suitably located property from the point of view of value and potential we observe that the أgood locationؤ is the dominating factor. This study reports on the development of a kind of decision support system for locational suitability of settlements that integrates the fuzzy set (FZ) theory, a rule-based system (RBS) and GIS. This study is thought as the assistant for the property managers that are buyers and sellers. It can function as the property consultant for the buyers when they are looking for a property to buy and also it helps the real estate agencies to sell their properties. On the other hand, different scenarios of the potential areas according to the different user̕s preferences are depicted and they are joined and compared with the results of the vulnerability to earthquake hazards̕ of the same area. Odunpazarı - Eskisehir area is selected for implementation of the case study because of the data availability. As a result of this study, it can be said that most suitable property changes depending on the people̕s preferences. In addition, it is seen that most of the buildings that are locationally suitable are highly vulnerable to the earthquake hazards.

Assessment of vulnerability to earthquake hazards using spatial multicriteria analysis : Odunpazarı, Eskişehir case study Servi, Mehmet; Akyürek, Sevda Zuhal; Department of Geodetic and Geographical Information Technologies (2004) The aim of this thesis is to develop a GIS methodology to assess urban vulnerability to earthquake through a spatial analytical procedure in which vulnerability is taught of as a spatial decision problem. The main concepts within the framework is vulnerability assessment. In its typology, the defined technology is highly current, emergent and necessary for the local goverments. Considering the discussions on subsidiarity for local area services such a knowledge is hoped to prove the capacity of local goverm...
Adoption and utilization of information systems in an emerging Turkish industrial rown : a case study on Gaziantep Salihoğlu, Yasemin; Bilgen, Semih; Department of Information Systems (2003) This thesis analyzes factors motivating and inhibiting the adoption of information systems in enterprises in Gaziantep by a scale generated on Rogers̕ theory of diffusion of innovation. These factors are grouped into four as administrative, technological, environmental, and organizational characteristics in the scale built. Structured interview method was used while collecting the data. It was interviewed with 20 firms, operating in various sectors in Gaziantep. Results of the study showed that, within the ...
A genetic algorithm for TSP with backhauls based on conventional heuristics Önder, İlter; Özdemirel, Nur Evin; Department of Information Systems (2007) A genetic algorithm using conventional heuristics as operators is considered in this study for the traveling salesman problem with backhauls (TSPB). Properties of a crossover operator (Nearest Neighbor Crossover, NNX) based on the nearest neighbor heuristic and the idea of using more than two parents are investigated in a series of experiments. Different parent selection and replacement strategies and generation of multiple children are tried as well. Conventional improvement heuristics are also used as mut...
Priority based multi-constrained quality of service routing in military applications Araz, Bora; Koçyiğit, Altan; Department of Information Systems (2005) This thesis proposes a new algorithm for multi-constrained Quality of Service Optimal Path Routing in the context of military applications. The objective of our routing algorithm is to manage network traffic according to quality of service requirements of connection requests using military metrics. The algorithm is mainly based on communication priority. The QoS metrics such as bandwidth, delay and packet loss ratio are considered as basic metrics on path finding. If there is no suitable path for the reques...
A genetic-based intelligent intrusion detection system Özbey, Halil; Şen, Tayyar; Department of Industrial Engineering (2005) In this study we address the problem of detecting new types of intrusions to computer systems which cannot be handled by widely implemented knowledge-based mechanisms. The solutions offered by behavior-based prototypes either suffer low accuracy and low completeness or require use data eplaining abnormal behavior which actually is not available. Our aim is to develop an algorithm which can produce a satisfactory model of the target system̕s behavior in the absence of negative data. First, we design and deve...
