In this paper, the objective is not to provide a standard review of the literature on the theory and empirical studies of intraurban manufacturing location; such reviews are published periodically in several sources. Instead, this paper reports an approach that has proved to be useful in studying the location of manufacturing industries in a metropolitan area. As the title suggests, the approach provides an explanation of a given location pattern, as well as the changes in it, in terms of the spatial behavior of manufacturing establishments. Rather than presenting a suggested model construct, this paper emphasizes on the characteristics of the locational process, the understanding of which may serve as a foundation for modeling efforts. It should, thus, be also noted that this paper is not intended to include a discussion of the problems of large-scale modeling. These problems are rather numerous and a discussion of them is apt to be involved and lengthy. Discussions of the large-scale modeling can be found in Lee,Jr., Harris and others. The applicability of this approach in dealing with the problem of manufacturing location in the Turkish urban areas is discussed in the concluding section of this paper. A basic premise of this paper is that "employment change", rather than "employment" is the appropriate unit of analysis in studying the locational decisions of manufacturing industry, since the use of the latter entails some serious sources of-bias in explaining the existing and predicting the future location patterns. The increasing dynamism in the location pattern of manufacturing activities in most industrialized and industrializing countries during the last several decades justifies this approach.

Framing Open Design through Theoretical Concepts and Practical Applications: A Systematic Literature Review Bakırlıoğlu, Yekta; Kohtala, Cindy (2019-09-01) This study reports on the results of a systematic literature review on 'open design' in academic fields including and beyond design and HCI. The review investigates how studies are framed as open design and open-source design (including 'open hardware'): how researchers contribute to conceptual theorizing about open design or study its practical operationalization, in do-it-yourself 'making,' manufacturing and practices in-between these domains. Most of the papers reviewed were empirical studies from divers...
Critical realism as a rival methodology for institutional economics Gürpınar, Erkan; Özveren, Eyüp; Department of Economics (2008) The aim of the thesis is to clarify the methodology of the original institutional economics and then to evaluate the current attempts to utilize critical realism as a superior methodology for it. After sketching the historical background of the discussions surrounding methodology of science and 19th century economic methodology, the thesis separately analyses the methodology of institutional economics and critical realist stance in the philosophy of science. A critical discussion of the subject matter reach...
A discussion of the concepts of validity and reliability in qualitative and quantitative Research Sadık, Olgun (2019-06-01) : The purpose of this paper is discussing the main issues in conceptualizing reliability and validity between qualitative and quantitative research approaches. The researcher examined the arguments about validity and reliability in inquiry methodology and identified three main debates primarily in qualitative research. The first one was about qualitative inquirers’ limited emphasis on the data collection process to increase the robustness of their research efforts. Most of the strategies in qualitative rese...
Material Processuality: Alternative Grounds for Design Research Tönük Kruıthof, Damla (Informa UK Limited, 2020-01-01) This article opens discussion on the positivist epistemology underlying the understandings of materials in design research that have been brought along as a result of theory and methods inherited from engineering and psychology. Examining the ambitions of work that seeks to operationalize knowledge created by these methods in the design process, we propose that attending to the processuality of material forms is a more adequate way for design research to capture the multiplicity of materials. We develop thi...
Computer assisted analysis of flow over spillway chutes Kıranoğlu, Meriç; Yanmaz, A. Melih.; Department of Civil Engineering (2019) In this study, a literature review is conducted in terms of assumptions, approaches, and various calculation methods used for the analysis of flow over conventional and stepped type spillways. In guidance of this review, a software is developed to perform such analyses with the set of given data by the user, and display results with some tables and figures. To this end, water surface profile over the spillway face is determined considering air entrainment process, pressure distribution over the crest under ...
