Karabaglar (Mugla, Turkey) is one of those settlements that over time has come to blend well with its natural assets. Not only are the man-made and natural components of this seasonal settlement unique, and in harmony with one another, but they have also persisted throughout the centuries despite much adversity. Previous research has revealed how two landscape components particular to the area, namely irim and kesik, have resulted in a remarkable character. Further inquiry into other aspects of Karabaglar will help in the depiction of its original layout, taking into account the wealth of landscape elements and structures that have a couple of millennia, or more, of historical precedent. The originality of the spatial layout of a yurt setting, the lifestyle that is generated around a coffeehouse, in addition to a masjid and plane trees, all deserve attention as a system of diverse values worthy of conservation.

Turkish olive and olive oil sectoral innovation system: a functional - structural analysis
Pehlivan Gürkan, Nilgün; Erdil, Erkan; Department of Science and Technology Policy Studies (2015)
The main purpose of this thesis is to explore problems that inhibit development of the olive and olive oil sector in Turkey. Olive productivity and olive oil product quality is low in Turkey compared to leader olive producing countries, Spain and Italy. Turkey is at the low end of the global olive oil value chain with high share of bulk olive oil exports and low share of high value added, branded exports. The competition in global markets is increasing and product standards are more stringent. Informal prod...
Birinci Ulusal Mimarlık Dönemi İzmir Konutu: Yerellik ve Melezlik
Çıkış, Şeniz (Middle East Technical University, Faculty of Architecture, 2011)
The First National Style in Turkish Architecture was formulated during the last decades of the Ottoman Empire, and was the preferred style for the founders of the Turkish Republic in the construction of Ankara as the new capital city. In the historiography of Modern Turkish Architecture, architecture during the Early Republican Era is assumed to have anatopic characteristics. The canonic repertoire of this movement is also produced parallel to this idea. However, housing stock of Izmir constructed during th...
Turkish sociology in a sociology of knowledge perspective : the double-bind of survival/identity
Mühürdaroğlu, Anıl; Tokluoğlu, Ayşe Ceylan; Department of Sociology (2014)
Ottoman-Turkish modernization discourse is structured on the bases of a double-bind between survival and identity which had emerged as a result of the belief that a break had taken place in the Ottoman Empire in the unity between the methods of governing and the qualities with which Ottomans defined themselves. Debates on the disruption of this unity had been conducted in a period when linear conception of history became the predominant framework for understanding historical processes. As a result, categori...
Typological residential urbanism: an alternative analysis of the TOKİ housing production as a dominant type
Parlak, Neris; Cengizkan, Ali; Department of Architecture (2015)
Housing production in Turkey has increased enormously in recent years.

This thesis aims to draw attention to the potential of the concept of typology on evaluating the quality of urban form of housing environments. Thus, the thesis attempts to test the potential by carrying out a typological analysis of the housing production of TOKİ, which is one of the three ma...
Turkey's 'Return' to the Middle East
Altunışık, Meliha (UK: Palgrave, 2014-01-01)
Turkey’s potential as a regional power in the Middle East has been discussed since the 1990s. This was in contrast with Turkey’s historical reluctance to get deeply involved with this region. This refluctance stemmed from not only Turkey’s own concerns about “being dragged into this conflict-ridden” region, but also the low level of acceptance of Turkey in the Middle East as a regional actor. The situation has changed significantly especially since the 2000s due to both actor-specific and structural factors...
