Many MBA buildings have been studied from different points of views and approaches; however, their spatial patterns were scarcely investigated. This thesis aims to assess the usefulness of Depth Analysis, a sub-method of Space Syntax, in the understanding of spatial patterns of MBA palaces. The palaces of key MBA sites, Acemhöyük, Tell Mardikh and Kültepe, were selected for the analysis. In the conclusion it is suggested that Depth Analysis can be a very useful method in understanding the configuration of spaces when there is sufficient available data. An equally successful application of this method lies in the comparative analysis of different buildings.

The aim of this study is four fold: (1) to determine Middle East Technical University (METU) students’ familiarity and current understandings of sustainable development, and their views on sustainable living at the campus; (2) to explore their attitudes toward sustainable development, behaviors toward sustainable life styles, and environmental values; (3) to examine their perceptions of their own and society’s future; (4) to investigate the significant predictors of their environmental values, and attitudes...
The contribution of cognitive style and prior knowledge on sixth grade students' knowledge acquisition in polygons in drama based learning environment
Atar Koçkar, Burçin; Ubuz, Behiye; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2010)
The purpose of this study is to investigate the contribution of cognitive style and prior knowledge on 6th grade students' knowledge acquisition in polygons in drama based learning environment. The sample of the study was composed of 112 sixth grade students from a public school in Altındağ district of Ankara. There were 9 drama based lesson plans lasting 16 lesson hours in the study. The data was collected through Group Embedded Figure Test (GEFT), and three types of knowledge tests: Declarative Knowledge ...
A Case Study of the Mediating Role of Innovation on the Relationship Between Environmental Uncertainty, Market Orientation, and Firm Performance
UZKURT, CEVAHİR; KİMZAN, HALİL SEMİH; Yılmaz, Cengiz (World Scientific Pub Co Pte Lt, 2016-12-01)
In recent years, environmental uncertainty and market orientation have been considered key elements of superior firm performance. Although environmental uncertainty and market orientation may affect firm performance, innovation also mediates these effects. In this study, a conceptual model was developed to test the mediating effect of innovation on the relationships between these constructs. Data for the study were collected from Turkey's Top 500 Companies. Hierarchical regression and multiple regression an...
A probabilistic design approach for rock slopes
DUZGUN, HSB; Karpuz, Celal; Yücemen, Mehmet Semih (1998-10-09)
The basic aim of this study is to develop a reliability-based methodology for the practical design of rock slopes. The advanced first-order second-moment (AFOSM) approach is adapted as;the reliability assessment model. In the reliability-based design methodology, the first step is the modeling and quantification of uncertainties associated with the design parameters. Since the safety of a rock slope is most sensitive to the shear strength of discontinuities, the uncertainty analysis is focused on the parame...
