Local institutional capacity and decentralization of power
Erkan, Gökhan Hüseyin; Şengül, Hüseyin Tarık; Department of Urban Policy Planning and Local Governments (2006)
The aim of this thesis is to examine the relationship between the success of the decentralization schemes and the local capacity by concentrating on the case of Metropolitan Municipality of Diyarbakır. The Local Government Reform in Turkey was built on the argument that local authorities, compared to the central government, are better in providing services in a more efficient and more participatory manner. This thesis argues that such an argument is valid only in an environment where there is a strong local...
Local entrepreneurialism and local business associations
Bayırbağ, Mustafa Kemal (null; 2009-04-09)
This paper is an attempt to examine the dynamics that have shaped local entrepreneurialism in the context of capitalist state rescaling. It contends that it is not enough to conclude that urban/local governance is pro-business in nature. We need to investigate how these pro-business agendas and governance structures emerge. The empirical analysis is, thus, sharpened by concentrating on the institutional dynamics of the local bourgeoisie’s political mobilisation. The birth and evolution of local entrepreneur...
Local Dimensions of a Wider European Neighbourhood:Developing Political Community through Practices and Discourses of Cross-Border Co-operation (EUDIMENSIONS)
Ayata, Ayşe(2009-6-30)

EUDIMENSIONS seeks to understand the implications of these emerging geopolitical contexts for cross-border co...
Local administrations and disaster risk management in Turkey
Ulutürk, Gülcan; Balamir, Murat; Department of City and Regional Planning (2006)
Global policies in disaster management have radically changed since 1990s, shifting the previously entrenched emphasis on emergency management, towards new applications of risk management. A series of international declarations expressed the determination and principles to reduce risks at every level, which were followed by many national governments. The disaster management system in Turkey seems to tend towards this approach, not necessarily based on an awareness of the global trends, but due to the severe...
Local Decision-Making in multiple levels for lottery data analysis
Beldek, U.; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal (2011-01-01)
Sales forecasting is a common problem in economics. Lottery sales are one of the favorite issues of sales forecasting. Sales of lottery tickets depend on many economical issues and such a problem was investigated previously (Beensock et al., 2002) where Genetic Programming is used in order to construct different agent structures that predict the number of ticket sales in Israel lottery. In each application in (Beensock et al., 2002), only a single agent is developed to predict the number of ticket sales at ...
